The new Wolverine game made me ask an important philosophical question, that I don't think Nietzsche himself had the foresight to even ponder.

If a game is made to be a male humiliation ritual, but the main character is obviously trans, is it still a male hulimiation ritual, or did we managed to re-create misogeny from a brand new framework?

SOPA's back and 10 times worse!

For those who don't remember The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was a proposed U.S. congressional bill from 2011 that would have brought censorship and site blocking to the United States. It was defeated, but since then the entertainment cartels have gotten similar bills passed in other countries. These bills undermine free speech and democracy.

Now the cartels are at it again with a number of new bills in the United States with even more rigor.

One of these new U.S. site blocking bills adds VPNs to the list of blocking intermediaries.

Now it appears the bill is very specific to virtual private networks and does not explicitly include SOCKS proxies, Tor, or other generic proxy services. That does then beg the question though of why bother? If it's not all inclusive it won't work. It also won't work against non-US jurisdiction based VPN operators. That also means it undermines the VPN operators which are based out of the United States.

How effective can this VPN specific section be? Not very, but there ends up being real harm.

It also still has serious implications for democracy in America if censorship and site blocks are permitted.

I will be the first to argue we've already headed down that dangerous path with the US "justice department" seizing domain names. There is this concept in law known as prior restraint. They're not support to censor speech before it occurs and they certainly shouldn't be taking away someone's ability to speak even if they seize the servers themselves.

Have you written your congress critter yet? I have and I'll write the evil **** again and again and hope for independence for New Hampshire and a collapse of the US. Governments that censor should collapse.

The only mistake Subverse did was tying all the adult scenes to a singular character unlock, instead of making them tied to story beats.

This way, the game feels insanely grindy. Buy only, because you don't see the scenes as a reward. They are dumped onto you at once, and you unlock only the few ones you know you want.

What a shame, but they really did break one of the most essential part of the formula, since without it, you have to unlock the entire new character to get any meaningful reward.

Just watched the new Resident Evil movie.

I loved every second of it. And I am not even so big fan of the horror genre to begin with. Absolutely hilarious, while also still scary and thrilling a good amont.

And don't let yourself get swayed away by the fact, that it's not following any of the game characters, and it's following a total soy boy instead. Trust me, it is a great trade for what it allowed them to do in the story.

Millenials will forever be the most tech literate class. That cannot ever possibly change, since kids these days simply cannot ever expreience the need do a disk format, clean installation and basic software setup every 6 months.

It just isn't going to happen. Windows became way too stable.

Yeah... My PC is 7 years old now, but it feels weirdly new to me, since it just worked the entire time. My brain just keeps referring to its age as "1st install"

Danced so hard, that my legs hurt 2 days later.
Life is good.
