It’s George Dubya all over again.

The point is, America has thrown out formalities. If we think we’re justified to do shit, we’re going to be firing missles. We did just that!

We’re not that country anymore. Anyone can bring up WW2 and whatnot, well guess what? During WW2, America had dignity. We don’t now, not for a while. We just shoot first, ask questions never. That’s how it’s been for a while.

I don’t fucking know.

I just put it into the ever-growing pile that says “Because it is fucking Trump”. Because that insecure piece of shit will do anything - anything, he feels he wants. And until we have a government with a spine that will actually impeach his ass and mean it, what else can we say?

You’re probably best finding RTS games where you are in the roles of maybe rulers and whatnot that oppose US military? it’s all I can think of.

I don’t know what I can tell you.

I’m one of those patient gamers, where I’m just happy I finally have a machine that can play about 89% of the games I have to throw at it. Moreso happier that it can confidently run PS2 emulation, something I’ve been chasing for years to have a machine that can do, to own anyways.

I think you just need to sit down and contemplate to yourself what you want out of a machine. It’s not a good healthy mindset to be fretting about upgrading all of the time. I mean, you made a huge leap already going from 15 years to what you have now.

Also consider that, there will still be games released that look graphically demanding and everything, but will require maybe a 1060 GPU, just as an example. Probably 8GB of RAM. It’s only the AAA stuff that wants everything to be tip-top shape. Don’t chase those.

I am reluctant to re-visit Half-Life 2 and its episodes. Simply because they were great games for their time and overall classics. I just remember in Episode 2, looking back longingly at the devastated City 17 when you launched the rocket in episode 1. How much reflection I did about the series I completed and the episodes I would complete after.

It was an experience going through those games all the way the first round, recalling all of the hype, the memes, the talks and so much build up. Revisiting it now for me would just be rewriting those memories over.

The Messenger is another. Really loved that game for what it was. It had so much charm to it.

From my understanding, when you’re lobbing missles to another country after another country does something horrendous to you. That’s declaration of war.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, that was a declaration of war against the US.

So how can all of what you said, not be a declaration? It doesn’t matter if Congress passed this or that. Shit happened, we went to war with Afghanistan, we sent soldiers and fired shit over to the Middle-East. Yet not a declaration?

It is Year 2 now of the fascist regime and the damage doesn’t stop coming.

Has the US not declared war in 2001?

And America wonders why the rest of the world hates it.

I want you to try and create something. Just something. Be an artist.

The moment you try selling your work and that’s all that you’re trying to sell on the side to make money and make ends meet.

Then you’ll understand.

There had been a couple times where I’d be shopping and Wal-Mart’s alert system at the door couldn’t catch the smaller items. Like, they’re honest mistakes too, not intentional. I would make it out to my vehicle, getting the bags in, until I find one object that went by undetected. Thought about just playing it as a mistake and not paying for it.

Problem was, even if I did that, eventually I’d be confronted about it. I work for the company, they know me, they sure as hell probably seen me on camera throwing in that small object at somepoint and will use that. Just because the guy at the booth by the doors isn’t saying or doing anything or the store isn’t getting a hunch, doesn’t mean they aren’t thinking it.

Anytime this has happened though, I have walked back in and paid for that thing. But sometimes even when I know I scanned everything and paid for them, faulty alarms go off anyways so it’s like they’re bipolar.

Funny how you know, ICE isn’t going after the CEO of Microsoft or the CEO of Google, you know. I guess if you’re stupidly rich, you’re immune from deportation.

The CEO of Google ought to be ashamed.

RIP to that woman. Very gutsy to do that at the cost of her career’s prestige.

Okay, thanks for an unneeded warning because nothing wrong has happened to me all this time. You keep sitting in that corner and being afraid with your little tinfoil hat on.

Yeah, I support self-hosting. Don’t trust online services to always be there for you and their terms, conditions and whatnot could change and you won’t know it.

Grab an external drive, VeraCrypt and set it up as you please.

This is probably one of the few exceptions I have with AI.

It can be used as an assistance tool.

Disney+Hulu (only get it for promo deals. I’m on one for $5 a month for a year)

Anything else, nothing else. I’m only along for the promo-rides. You’ll never find me spending base amount for any streaming service. I might subscribe to Netflix though on their base plan because I’ll just watch it through browsers with ad-block and things will be fine.
