It's a game from the age when 16 colours where top of the line for the home market.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

My favourite of that was in Leisure Suit Larry III. The workout minigame was tied to the clock speed so if you had a good computer it'd make you do like 2000 bench presses.

Also, from the Times:

"“Baby Shark” was played on repeat, through a computer, while the inmate was forced to listen to it."


I'd like to know, was it being routed through some decent-quality external speakers, or was the inmate subjected to the crustiest, most canned Baby Shark direct from the little speakers on the computer?

Biden and Trump are traitors to America.
Imagine being shocked about the fact of greed, corruption, and abuse of power in government.
The media is a propaganda tool fueling the two parties hyperpartisanship and killing the country, it's time to end the "freedom of the press"
Violence against the government is and should be accepted by the people, especially when said government wants to and is actively stripping away your constitutional rights.
