I don't believe I "idealize" or "romanticize" the past. There were a lot of undesirable things in the past. We can't go back to the past and shouldn't try to. We should look at what is valuable from the past to guide us in creating a better future. Saying that there was anything good or true or beautiful or transcendent in the past that we have forgotten brings the Reddit bugman out of the woodwork to say that everyone in the past was retarded and rolled around in shit for 25 years before dying.

Now that Trump has admitted he supports arming Ukraine, what policies make him different than Joe Biden?

I feel like the CEO of Blackrock pumping #Bitcoin is a concrete sign that it's failed to exist as a useful currency to advance liberty. Some would argue it was never intended for this, but even now there are people who will sloganeer Bitcoin fixes this in the face of censorship and financial repression.

#MoneroOrBust? More and more I start to side with those that argue that currency is the wrong battle in the first place when it comes to attempting to hold the powerful to account. (pun intended)

Well that sucks. But it seems like the only truly decentralized blockchains out there are Monero and Bitcoin Cash, so this doesn't seem to be too surprising.

If decentralized social media was the norm they'd switch from crying to social media jannies to crying to VPS providers, registrars and ISPs.

@mike TL;DR: self hosting and protocols over centralized Web 2.0 platforms lets you run your site how you want instead of being at the mercy of ruling class whims

But of course you dumbfucks are going to make it about "le heckin hate speech" like the sheep you are

Think I got it! I need to find a better image to represent filters, right now it's just a rainbow placeholder. I got all 3 types of colorblindness and added in some extra color options as well. The Windows one is always gonna be better but I think it's still a nice little option to have. Especially if you're, well, not on Windows. I am planning on building the game for Linux as well, and I was going to do it for Mac but Apple likes to completely change their graphics backend all the time so the version of RPG Maker I have doesn't actually support Mac anymore.

If the game does well I could port it to Android eventually too, but I'm a lot less familiar with that process. It can technically be ported to the consoles as well, but that would be something I'd have to pay someone else to do unless I wanted it to be pretty bootleg and only available via homebrew lol.

Point being, color filters will be good for Linux users, or perhaps people using bootcamp on a Mac or whatever that's called.
