The “every single American is culpable and therefore my bigotry is excused” energy is getting wild.

Isolated as a pure salt, maybe. All those “uncured” varieties listing celery as an ingredient are making use of the same compound though.

You might be sympathetic to a recent video essay from Door Monster’s Kyle who definitely has a bone to pick with TLOU2 (and other recentish pop culture hits)

There are several high-value sites in the state, and I-5 is an obvious target just generally. JBLM, Whidbey Island Station, Everett Naval, and major power infrastructure like Hanford or Grand Coulee.

Electric parking brake is one of those modern “conveniences” I really hate. I want a physical lever that directly actuates a brake. It should work even in a catastrophic failure (so should the steering and regular brakes, but it should be a separate system)

That’s the difference between people that have to drive and people that like to drive. I would love for most people to have reliable, comfortable, hands-off transportation so that they could get out of my way.

The system of corporate veiling of responsibility is going to kill us all. What should happen is every single person who signed off on, voted for, or materially contributed to the implementation of this dangerous hardware should be prosecuted for criminal negligence. Gut the C-suite and the board.

I’d rather live to see their obituaries.

There’s a bunch on the PS1 that got lost in the mix.

Ape Escape was really fun and novel, it was the first mandatory dual-stick release, and it did initially sell really well! It got two sequels on the PS2 but then drifted into spin-offs and party games. It’s been two decades since the last proper installment.

Tomba! is delightful nonsense, a 2D adventure platformer that presented non-linear quests and tight controls. It’s a cult-classic and the digital Special Edition on PS5 looks like it was done well.

Now for something truly forgotten: Running Wild. It’s a kart racer but instead of karts it’s a bunch of furries in a footrace. The announcer yells a lot, some of the character designs are lazy stereotypes, the graphics are muddy, but the track design is solid and it really feels fast when you get going. Very rewarding to learn the best lines and get into a clean flow.

Butterfly made my wrists fall off. Worth it.

Pass on sticking within the bounds of treason and tyranny. I’m gonna keep idealizing beyond that.

Hasn’t posted in a few months, must be busy with that Ocean’s Eleven project.

Oh, uh, pass.

Learn high-density home gardening and safe food preservation. That said, white rice does store a long time so it’s a good thing to hoard if you’re worried about food availability.

The worst part of anti-war music is that it never stops being relevant. Blast off! It’s party time!

Guillotine is the check against this shit.

What comic and no it doesn’t. And reading through your exchange with the other guy it’s clear we have very different ideas about the nature of self-identity. I don’t think of my body as necessary for “me” to exist, I am my thoughts and memory rather than my neurons and chemistry. If that information can be copied and transmitted then there will be a “me” that continues from a new location.

You’re not a continuous consciousness anyway. Sleep is a thing.

I currently recommend staying out entirely because of the paranoid war against “immigration” that has made our borders openly hostile to everybody, but if that ever changes there’s plenty of cities that are only as shitty as global average and if the national parks survive they are unmatched.

Final Fantasy VIII, almost at the end of the third disc. Hot take: this is my favorite PS1 entry in the series (and IX is my second favorite). I’m not going to pretend it’s a perfect game but it takes a lot of chances and I think most of the them pay off.
