- Comment on What was your favorite shareware game? 4 weeks ago:
I was so addicted to ZZT back then! The player-made worlds were such a delight, and my slow-ass computer which choked on so many then-current games ran them without trouble.
Now I want to try it out again.
- Comment on What was your favorite shareware game? 4 weeks ago:
Heretic was more than a Doom clone, it was developed using a modified Doom engine with the participation of Doom developers. It was a clever game in its own right, adding a lot of fresh elements to the then-budding FPS genre.
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 4 weeks ago:
The modern Christian Establishment has a great deal in common with the United States itself. There’s tons of writing and chatter about being based on principles of personal freedom and responsibility, taking care of one another, etc. while in real life the ones steering those ships will laugh you out of the room if you suggest they actually try to live and treat folks anything like their texts say they should.
There are, of course, genuinely good Christian and American individuals out there, but they are clearly not the ones in control of their institutions; the collective human organizations which serve to represent them are all about keeping up sparkly appearances and telling nice stories while standing firmly on the necks of anyone they deem too different from themselves.

- Comment on Are Expensive TVs Actually Better? An Analysis of TV Prices and Review Scores 1 month ago:
Collective viewing is still best on a TV.
If you are alone there may be functionally little difference between sitting on the couch watching TV and lying in bed with a smartphone balanced on your chest, but as soon as you’re sharing the viewing experience at all there’s still value in having a big shared screen.

- Comment on Copyright madness: YouTube seems to doubt whether Shakespeare is in the public domain. 1 month ago:
A good article on Walled Culture, marred by its being illustrated with AI slop. Surely a normal, real public domain Shakespeare image could have illustrated the point of the article just as well, if not better.
