Cool, I’d hate to live in a place where you can creep on your neighbors.
I bet it’s a pervert’s dream.

You think so? You think you have a right to install your camera on public property?
There are usually peeping tom laws that prevent this kind of thing, and it’s certainly cause for a civil harassment case if the person you’re spying on knows about it.
The real question is: why do you want the ability to film someone’s house like that unless you’re a creeper?

Good news, there’s a vacuum leak.

You should definitely read the book if it’s a topic that interests you; it’s the best overview of conservatism that I’ve read. I’d say you’re pretty well aligned with what he wrote within, too.
- Comment on Fascism bad. 1 week ago:
But I’m not sure how to reconcile that with modern “rightists” who want to burn down the system and aren’t conservative in the lowercase-C sense.
The Republican party (and conservatism as a movement) are full-blown reactionaries. I like this passage from Corey Robin’sThe Reactionary Mind:
People who aren’t conservative often fail to realize this, but conservatism really does speak to and for people who have lost something. It may be a landed estate or the privileges of white skin, the unquestioned authority of a husband or the untrammeled rights of a factory owner. The loss may be as material as money or as ethereal as a sense of standing. It may be a loss of something that was never legitimately owned in the first place; it may, when compared with what the conservative retains, be small. Even so, it is a loss, and nothing is ever so cherished as that which we no longer possess. It used to be one of the great virtues of the left that it alone understood the often zero- sum nature of politics, where the gains of one class necessarily entail the losses of another. But as that sense of conflict diminishes on the left, it has fallen to the right to remind voters that there really are losers in politics and that it is they— and only they— who speak for them. “All conservatism begins with loss,” Andrew Sullivan rightly notes, which makes conservatism not the Party of Order, as Mill and others have claimed, but the party of the loser.
The chief aim of the loser is not— and indeed cannot be— preservation or protection. It is recovery and restoration.
And from another section:
There’s a fairly simple reason for the embrace of radicalism on the right, and it has to do with the reactionary imperative that lies at the core of conservative doctrine. The conservative not only opposes the left; he also believes that the left has been in the driver’s seat since, depending on who’s counting, the French Revolution or the Reformation. If he is to preserve what he values, the conservative must declare war against the culture as it is.

Why do you think Trump would want to cover them up? I bet it’s because he’s a pedo.

It doesn’t make the best quality, but it’s great to have a kettle around that can brew coffee.

There’s a fire starting in your ship Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing 'em out the dark Finally I can see you crystal clear Go 'head and crash land and I’ll strip your saucer bare
See how I leave with every piece of it Don’t underestimate the things that I will do There’s a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark
The scars and gore remind me of war They keep me thinking that we almost lost it all The holes in my suit they leave me breathless, I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all Terror in the deep You had my heart inside of your hand And you played it to the beat

Everyone who likes couch co-op should play this one. It’s fantastic.

That does sound interesting, kind of like you build your own class. I’ll check it out, thanks!

Oh yeah! I got that as another pack-in game, probably for a voodoo card if I’m not mistaken.
I really should check it out again, I remember it being good. Thanks for the rec.

The pitcher does matter, this one is harder to read than it needs to be.

This is one of the discs I’ve held onto over they years. I’m considering getting an optical drive just so I can play it and a few others I’ve got.
It wasn’t a great game iirc, but mostly because it was so far ahead of its time. I really do want to give it another go, and not just for nostalgia.
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
I have it on Steam, and I think I tried without luck. Is he very interested if you’re able to get it working though.
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
I got that as a pack-in game for something, probably a CD-ROM drive, and was impressed. I bet it has aged very well, good rec.
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
I should try it on my Steam Deck, I wonder if it’s any different with Proton?
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
I believe the difference is that it actually emulates the hardware instead of just making the stuff you have look and act like it is compatible, but I’m far from an expert.
I really enjoyed Midtown Madness 1 when it came out, if 2 doesn’t work I think 1 would. Thanks for the rec!
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
I have it from GOG, but the control mapping is still pretty bad IIRC.
I should really give it a go here, good idea.

I’d really love a patch to play Gothic 2 with English subtitles but German audio.
The English voice acting might be the worst I’ve ever heard.
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
Great idea, I might even have a copy somewhere.
- Comment on Recommend some games for PCem 1 month ago:
Ooh, it’s even got Mercenaries. Thanks!

I really should play some of the M:TG game, I remember it being a pretty great version.
