By the year 2060:

1. Bretton Woods system with USD reserve currency is dead, because you just cannot print infinity dollars without collapsing the system.

2. System is - despite all odds - still alive, because it lives on debt, and nobody wants to borrow money that is going to *increase* in value.

What say ye?

I'm interested in book suggestions for the new year. (Fiction & nonfiction!)
What's something that you would save if all other writing was to be lost to time?
What's something new that you think really stands out?
What series you would love to read all over again with a fresh look?

Damn, MattKC doing God's work and making an application that turns a Linux install into a Wii U gamepad. Super important actually, because Wii Us NEED that Gamepad to function and they are A) region locked and B) no longer repaired by Nintendo. This is extremely good for ensuring the console doesn't become little more than a paper weight.

The web version of God's Disdain is now available on Itch.io!
https://after-midnight-games.itch.io/godsdisdain
It is also still available on Newgrounds.

Additionally, the Supporter Pack is available on both Itch.io and Steam for $3.49 USD, or 50% off, for the Winter Sale! You can get a lot of goodies such as the soundtrack for the game and help support the people who worked on God's Disdain by purchasing it.

Thank you for your continued support!

I find it strange that the game awards doesn't even wait until the year is over to put out awards, the Oscars wait until March of the next year and the Emmys until January. Guess they aren't willing to prepare for any Christmas suprises

A scientist is one who observes a Chess tournament, and thereby figures out the rules of the game.

An engineer is one who, based on the rules of the game, figures out how to win it.

They are not the same.

🤣

Recent pet peeve: People who leave bad reviews on a small business's product due to freak accidents during transportation of the product outside the business's control, don't contact the business before reviewing or even DO GET compensation from the business, and then they never go back to correct their review.

FUCK THIS KIND OF PERSON, SERIOUSLY! I'm not going to fed post but this makes me so unreasonably angry because it then puts the small business I shop from at risk due to the products already being niche and struggling in the economy.

At this point, it looks like the US is using Bitcoin as a Dead Man's Switch to threaten other countries.

> If you displace the USD, the financial system will fall, and what will rise in it's place will NOT be your currency, it's going to be BTC. And when that happens, your central bank will be just as broke as ours.

Hello all, I have not forgotten about IONA.

I have just setup a more-or-less stable website here: https://iona.pkt.wiki/

And I have published the first memorandum, On Curricula: https://iona.pkt.wiki/doc/IONA_MEMO_0001_ON_CURRICULA_v1.0_2025_OCT_21.pdf

It was written in October but was not published until now.

The next memo will be on future prediction, because that is a critical component of designing a curriculum which will actually build skills necessary for the future.

speaking as someone who has professional produced PDF files for the US government:

AHAHAHA YOU ACTUALLY MADE THE MOST INFAMOUS PDF ERROR AND REDACTED BY OVERLAYING BLACK RECTANGLES?

and now the redacted text is recoverable. hilarious

if we got this and a native windwaker pc port I'd probably sell my Wii U. I never play the thing really anyways and it's kinda collecting dust.
