Just Stayed Up All Night Across The Road From A Bushfire, Watching The Updates. Never Been So Relieved

I can't stop watching this- it's been stuck on loop for 4 hours. Somebody- help me.

it's good to see the world at large hasn't given up on Palestine and her people.

tear it all down

A new study found that 35 major corporations paid their execs MORE than what they paid in federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022. Each of the companies generated billions of dollars in profit over the same period. When I say the system is rigged for the rich, this is what I mean.

I miss the properly made paper manuals that games came with back in the day. Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura's is a whole ass world/setting book complete with a banana bread recipe.

I wonder what Concord's would have looked like. Or Godfall, or Redfall, or any of the other failed games with self-fulfilling titles.

Top: in Donkey Kong Country, the Master Necky boss is a bird whose main body is never seen. Instead, merely its head and neck appear from offscreen, being able to instantly switch what side of the screen it appears from.

Bottom: an official Japanese guide for the game contains a humorous illustration where Donkey Kong theorizes that the only way this is possible is if Master Necky actually has two heads, and each is simply hiding behind its own side of the screen.

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.
