I actually like Wafrn. It feels like old Tumblr or LJ.

Honestly, yes. I feel better supporting FOSS.

How are any of those webgames? They’re just FOSS.

Which means they’re actively backing fascists and pedos.

I have no interest in A/AA/AAA games in the last decade or so. I also truly don’t give a single crap about “legal”. Copywrong should be fought and all information should be made free at all times. I mean, technically I play games that are current, like Luanti, OpenTTD, Battle for Wesnoth, Mindustry, and Endless Sky. So I’m not in the same sphere.

Hell, as I said above, in a world where eXo exists, GOG needs to do a lot more to justify financial investment.

Good, they can help more people.

They can build a new platform to sell current games in a DRM-free situation. Good Old Games should stick specifically to old games.

The name of the site is Good Old Games. I have no problem with a separate marketplace for Non-DRM current games. I don’t see a reason to give a large company money - especially in a world where eXoDOS and eXoWin9x exist.

I want it away from all megacorps. The moment the non “old” games get off the platform, I’ll be inclined to give them money again.

It was absolutely important to the community, and outlasted the Alliance forums. I wish we had a good place like that anymore. Has anyone opened an m/Animorphs in the fediverse yet?

I think I was briefly on Richard’s forum, but I couldn’t tell you what my username was. I was also in the official community that Scholastic ran (and because of being a helpful kid, I actually helped in the server room at Valley Cottage after a sale when there were hardware problems).

He was a wargamer to start out with. Of course he was going to end up being a massive dick.

That having God in the final episode of Quantum Leap (the original) being played by an actor who was also in the first episode of the series made it much more interesting.

I hope you mean the original series and not the reboot. I don’t think he ever admits that’s what he is. My personal belief is that Captain Braxton of the Relativity was lying through his teeth to Sam (in order to preserve the Temporal Prime Directive), and directs him to the biggest Leap of his career, Captain Jonathan Archer in the First Contact timeline, because that whole timeline represents “what once went wrong”.

The Ellimist should have stepped in and cushioned Rachel’s fall. She didn’t deserve what she got.

Here’s a take on Lensman - we need more anime versions. Oh, and Jade in DC used to be the best version of a Second Stage Lensman in any media (pity about her brother tho).

So it went the way of the modern world. It’s sad, really.

The Pentagon has “failed” their audit, by trillions of dollars, for over a decade. Most of us have no idea why, how, or where that money went. Out of every part of the show, the idea that the US Military could keep it a total secret from even 99% of the government is the most plausible bit. Consider this - it was an “interesting” research find in Egypt. The US Military convinced (paid) the Met to acquire it (the Met put out a fake and provided a false history, which is what Daniel was working with at the start of the movie). The real thing, lacking the DHD, was brought to what would become SG-1.

Who would ever know? Why would they ever know? Why, in fact, would they ever think to look? Everyone is so thoroughly bullshitted by decades of Egyptology, UFOlogy and Ancient Aliens theories (including von Daniken), that they’d never imagine looking for one machine run by the US military that they don’t talk about.

I’m not exactly set on “brighter”, but at least it will be “different”. Right now, I feel like something has to give. Voting alone won’t get us out of the hole we’ve been buried in. Trusting the same people who lied and brought us to this point won’t get us to a better place. I’m really not against a different path that makes push come to shove anymore, is all.

The thing is, what’s your preference? Disappointment on a regular basis, or transparent hate and naked greed? Destruction can only last so long, but a slow slide into depression can last forever. Voting Red often ends up being the accelerationist choice as much as support for their vile beliefs.

The problem is that many people see the system ending up with “vote blue AND the fascists get their way”. It ends up being totally discouraging.
