What would be your periodization of the “golden age of gaming”? Mine would start at the introduction of the consoles like the N64 and PS1, and the release Windows 95…then it would end with the coming of microtransactions. So that would be 2006 with the introduction of that horse armor in Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

This is not to say that I don’t enjoy any games released after that though :p I built a gaming pc in 2011 mostly so I could play Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Wait till they hear about Project A119.

I’m really hoping they might someday build a space-borne solar power station at the Sol-Earth L1 Lagrange Point. Or a telescope on the far side of Luna. Anything’s possible when you don’t have the brainworms of neoliberal capitalism holding you back.

They are sad creatures. Don’t worry about them. Their opinions are wrong.

I don’t bother. Our time is better spent figuring out legal ways to take as much money away from them as possible, not “engaging” in “discourse” with them. 🙄💀

Lift so hard that the world itself trembles.

They cannot grasp the post-scarcity mindset and that is pitiful. We have the technical means today to live in a mostly nuclear-powered world supplemented by sources such as solar and wind.

A crowd-sourced app that maps all of the homeless people and tent encampments in every neighborhood of your city. Like snapchat.

Adult supremacy is a real thing. While it is very prominent among American Baby Boomers, it can afflict people of any generation. I believe we as adults have a responsibility to guide and protect youth, not forcefully shape them into some predetermined mold.

Frankly it infuriates me when I see somebody of my age (early 30s) acting just like a damned Boomer and complaining about “kids these days”, when those kids are just responding to pressures of a world that adults have forced upon them. The only kind of youth I truly dislike are the alt-right kind.

I cannot speak for any other country, but the US public school experience is designed to beat the kids down until they accept their place within the capitalist system by the time they’re 18 years old. Any education that happens in those places is incidental. They’re primarily meant for schooling, not education.

After 9/11, the shittiest people in the world called me the T word for being brown and having a foreign-sounding name. In the subsequent years they hated me for my obvious neurodivergence, my lack of misogynistic tendencies, my refusal to accept the alt right, my insistence on wearing an N95, and now my identity as an nb trans person. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. Every year they get more mad and I only have more middle fingers to give.

“homeless people are landlords” 💀

One of the reasons I critically root for the other side is that they have literally blown up redditors. At least somebody gets to live the dream.

Thalassophobia is a big thing for a reason. This is what happens when somebody disrespects the ocean.

For anticapitalist content from Turtle Island, I think we need to start looking for and platforming more Black and Indigenous decolonial content creators. Ones who can take the lessons from the past and apply them to the conditions of the here and now. There are already many people like this on TikTok. Personally I wouldn’t put too much trust in big Twitch streamers, but that’s just my take.

Nah that’s too hard. Let’s all just worship some billionaire and when anything bad happens blame some other country. /sarcasm
