I now replaced the assets for the spike car and limo. All that's left is the bumper car.

You may scoff at this or make jokes but this really is no laughing matter. They are turning the concept of being normal into a classifiable medical condition so they can use said formal classification to legislate against it more directly.

I hate how we live in an era of unprecedented wealth and technological advancement but we can't do anything with it but watch it slowly rot away while we consoom because society is spiritually dead.

oh man, it's been a while since I've read up on this. It's kinda crazy how many random civilians the spooks will murder to get one person. Other examples include that Malaysia airplane that disappeared, and TWA flight 800:

The original Super Mario RPG pushed the SNES to its limit with high quality pre rendered sprites. This new one looks like every generic new mario game where everything looks like a low quality fisher price. This is the issue with most 2D remakes imo the original games had high quality sprites which were the best you can do on the console but when remade it becomes very low quality "cartoony" sprites. Critics will pretend this is an improvement because "pixels le bad indie trash" and "its styilzed" but it shows how low the expectations are for new 2D games.

Gamers will eat this up as running a SNES rpg and playing an OLD baby RPG is too hard for nu gamers. Like the last triple A 2D game to look incredible was Donkey Kong Country on Wii U.

The fact that we still have fucking retards equating opposition to the disastrous rushed rollout of the experimental Covid shots—which have inarguably killed and disabled scores of people—with being anti-science and “anti-vax” in general is so infuriating. Fuck these people.

If the CIA ran a newspaper, how would it look any different than the New York Times?

My main complaint with #Meta joining the #Fediverse via #Project92 / #Barcelona / #Thread is not that they're a big company, but that they'll disrupt the network as a whole.

The long-term endgame here will probably be #Meta no longer properly federating with other software like #Mastodon and #Pleroma, forming its own little "metaverse" and federating with other big tech sites, like #Tumblr.

Short term, there are other consequences, like instances getting strained under the weight of all the new users.

And yes, #Meta is probably doing "embrace, extend, extinguish" here. Interestingly enough, the tactics here aren't all too different than #Mastodon's tactics when it refused to support the large wealth of features found on software like #Friendica and #GNUSocial, but the main difference is #Mastodon is #FOSS, while #Meta's new project is not. #Pleroma can adapt to #Mastodon changes, even if #Mastodon breaks something on purpose, because #Mastodon is #FOSS and therefore we can see how it works. That's not a luxury we can enjoy with #Meta's new software tbh.

I don't think the proper approach is the join the #Fedipact though. Remember what happened with #Gab? Tons of people left that site and joined the #Fediverse instead, and not the site is off on its own floundering in irrelevancy somewhere. This moment here is yet another opportunity for use to try to convince more people to switch from using corporate software to using #FOSS software for social media.
