Best advice I can give is to look at online auctions, estate sales, and check out to see if there are any Goodwill’s near you that specialize in electronics. You can run a lot of modern games on 10 to 5 year old hardware, probably won’t be the prettiest build but hey if it works. Also remember you can always tear open a modern laptop for that sweet sweet storage.

Worst part is I’m pretty sure it autocorrected duck to fuck cause I’ve poisoned my phones autocorrect with many a profanities.

At least fuck duck go is useful for video games specifically, but that one more or less just copy pasted from the wiki, reddit, or a forum shits the bed with EUV specifically though.

That’s honestly probably the most rational thing he does.

I just kinda figured he was MAGA cause he’s a pissant. He just radiats rich classless white trash that is oh so common with that lot.

The Romans were civilized, they had logistics for that.

Hey now the crucifix is a plenty civilized torture device. Unlike the savages who just killed you before desecrating your corpse the Romans lashed you to a cross and displayed your still living body then they’d take your corpse down eventually. Do you not see the fruits of civilization when compared to the savagery of the barbarian, especially since you may get running water and lead poisoning in return.

You know I was initially making what amounted to pro-Roman shitpost but uhhhh it kinda turned into a weird commentary on the United States midway through.

Honestly I don’t think Trump ever moved past being 3 or 4 on an internal level, his actions make sense if you consider that he never developed internalized functions for morality, intellectualism, or even an internal code. He may very well still be at the point where the only reason he knows not to touch a hot stove is because he got physically hurt by it because he can’t internally run the calculations that fire hot. Or at least that’s what makes sense to me, he’s basically a lot like a small child only reacting to the world.

The argument I could see is that a person’s personhood is relevant to their actions, but Trump doesnt really fall into that category in my opinion. Hes more a void of a person existing on base impulse and desire further amplified by his narcissism. Seriously is there anything Trump actually like? And not in a way that could be explained by scratching his base impulses at any given time?

Damnatio Memoriae as the Romans called, the removal of a person not just from life but also memory. Though I say we keep his actions and consequences recorded, just remove his personhood and likeness. Every picture and video of him should just be mess of static and fucked but understandable audio. Things not related to his presidency should be destroyed in their entirety.

Forgot about that bit, but yeah makes sense then that we haven’t heard shit since they are at best still polishing things up. If there’s one thing I can give Quantic Dream it’s that their games are generally well polished baring a few bugs (JASON!) or scattershot writing (beyond two souls).

Yeah the only guy that really compares would be if someone like Brian Fargo was involved. Real golden era of games guy.

Fuck now I want a Wasteland 2/3 style star wars game.

Also there are rumors that that was effectively a recruitment video which would also push it to very early stages of development. Makes sense though probably better for a large project to get a bunch of people from the start and delay development a bit at the beginning than to delay development later due to fuckery.

I don’t know what I was expecting but it wasn’t that. Kinda disappointed it wasn’t a Rick Roll.

There’s also the factor of the death or at least severe weakening of regional cultures, think your old Californian desert, Appalachian, or Old Boston cultures. A lot of these were weakened or even wiped out by the Great depression, Dust Bowl, and post war migrations, meaning that even the stronger of these more regional cultures can barely flex even in their own areas.

While it’s obviously misguided there is a reason rural folks are so conservative, the source isn’t necessarily political it’s because they recognize that their culture is weakening to the mainstream Pan American culture but assume it’s political since they don’t really have the language to figure out otherwise.

The problem with AI is largely the data center shit. Nobody has a problem with Josh pissing around with a learning algorithm to detect when to run his air conditioner optimally, what people are pissed about is building fuck off worthless data centers for bullshit thats almost certainly not worth the corpo hype.

Obviously they aren’t completely worthless, there is worth in them being liquidated and sold off.

We may not remove it completely but we could definitely limit or even wipe out AI data centers even on just a municipal level. Limits on resources used and strict permit requirements would be enough to shit can them in a variety of ways.

Swapped over to Mint a couple days ago, it plays ATOM RPG so I am contented with my slave jank.

Yeah it’s kinda dependent on region and culture when it comes to Neo-Pagans, here in the US it’s a coin flip on if the Neo-Pagan is some breed of fascist or a particularly demented anti-fascist who fell into Neo-Paganism due to rejecting Christianity in some way. I am in fact the latter though I started doing it to troll Mormon missionaries since saying half crazed shit and throwing Odin into the mix tends to offset the yuppies.

I gaslit myself into fucking Neo-Paganism.

I’ve got a Motorola, it probably still has spyware but at least it’s cheap, durable, and has a decent battery.
