I actually feel sorry for him. How’s he going to keep up his world-class skincare routine when he’s behind bars?

Anhedonia, i.e. the inability to feel pleasure. It’s like trying to fill a bucket with water that has a hole in the bottom, letting the water out at the same speed it goes in. Nothing you can do about it. I think this might be where the recklessness comes from; desperation to get any kind of sensation from something. You need to go to extreme lengths to get the proverbial dial to move a millimetre. So you take risks and reach for danger and generally inappropriate behaviour.

RedCandleGames is on my very short list of ‘instabuy’ developers. The way they were treated by GOG is why I don’t buy from that store anymore.

I was denied a mathematics education, for real. I can’t even do long division, nevermind that squiggly F shit. I thought that stuff was only for astrophysicists.

I want to learn basic maths, but I’m in a ‘learned helplessness’ mindset where I can’t even get through basic sums and equations intended for children (I’m old as fuck now).

I was diagnosed with autism a few years back, which kinda made no sense. I would have expected rainman powers, but numbers just don’t jive with my cunt of a brain. Maths is as inscrutable to me as people’s faces or social cues.

I wish Linux weren’t completely fucking impenetrable for casual users.

Damn, 58’s nothing. Barely middle age these days. I hope whatever it was that killed her was quick. She worked for some scumbags, but that’s hardly a reason to celebrate that a family has a dead wife, mother and possibly daughter to bury.

We know.

It’s not unusual for people to say one thing and do another. It’s not unusual for someone to be so aggrieved that their friend died that they try to hurt the people who indirectly caused it, i.e. Boeing, so they stretch the truth for the greater good, as they see it (maybe he really said it, but as a joke, which has now been upgraded to “a cold statement of fact said with a straight face”). It’s not unusual for people to push themselves into the limelight as a “close friend” when they weren’t. It’s typical of suicides that the person seems about as unsuicidal as you can get, then apparently out of the blue and on a moment’s notice decides to do it. The man was under extreme stress, and had been for a long time. People in that situation don’t think the way we do when we read about it; being that person in that situation will necessarily change how you think and no one else can understand it until they’ve been through it. If you’ve ever had clinical depression, for example, you’ll know how indescribable it is to people who haven’t dealt with it. So saying “why would he do it, he was so close to the finish line!” means sweet fuck all.

The same could be said for Boeing: the case was almost over, and John being dead doesn’t change anything about that. It does them no favours, the evidence of their fuckery is already well-established. He was, after all, a whistleblower. Once the whistle is blown, it’s a bit late to start offing people. Or do we all think they kill him as mere retribution/punishment?

If they have the means and the skills to make someone’s murder look like suicide to law enforcement and the coroner, how can they be so fucking stupid to think no one would find it suspicious and make them look bad regardless? In the age of rampant conspiracism on TikTok and Twitter and the armies of reddit detectives derailing murder trials, they would have been better offing their own CEO and making it look like suicide, after he writes a lengthy note taking the blame for everything.

Dr. David Kelly said “I’m gonna end up being found dead in the woods”, which he was, but all evidence points to it being a suicide. Princess Diana said “Charles might try to kill me in a car accident”, but the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of her fatal accident being just that, an accident, and her supposed “friend” the butler made up a whole load of shit about her to sell a book.

Now, I’m not saying this couldn’t possibly be a hit. But the evidence for it, at this moment in time at least, is extremely weak. It’s a whisper of a suspicion based on movie logic, but of course the internet and the “Epstein didn’t kill himself” memebrains are just running with it.

And yes, Epstein fucking killed himself.

Congratulations, completing a game and getting it out the door is no mean feat!

My darlings, tell me everything.

I’ll be in high demand for people with calculators 👀

This is the perfect time to recommend the funniest series of games I’ve ever played:

• Four Last Things
• The Procession to Calvary
• Death of the Reprobate (not out yet, but the demo confirms that it is going to be most excellent)

The scene in the OP appears in The Procession to Calvary.

Donald thinks I’m a complete cunt, wouldn’t piss on me if I were on fire atop Obama’s presidential bed in a Russian hotel. He considers me to be worse than Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Just saying.
