'98 was definitely a high point. I would argue PS2/Xbox had a really bleak period between '01 and '03.

Also, gotta say, the indie era didn’t really pop off until '09. The Obama Era was fantastic for gaming.

Setting aside the man can’t pull-up for shit, look at those skinny little chicken legs

People don’t even want to hear really great stories from famous people now, especially they’re kids.

I mean, I’ve got a stack of podcasts a mile high that suggest otherwise. Histories - old and new - continues to be a passion for many.

Pretty sure Westworld concluded you could fit them all on a thumb drive. And not even a big one

At this rate, we will have Perfect Burgers in another six months to two years

It’s just tiresome to hear these hyperventilating articles without any real measure of the degree of risk or long term consequences.

Broadly classifies as gross negligence and any business that wants to stay in business will be wise to make that info public.

But I’d rather just not end up in an ER to begin with.

Her, at the funeral: “He needs his glasses! He can’t see without his glasses!”

So, I’m reading two false claims, and I’ve got a long line of highly proficient bald family members to prove it

We are complaining about printers now?

Sadly, no. We’re complaining about age cohorts.

a key feature of the campaign is to make americans predisposed to outright reject the alternatives that have already been proven to work

Not just with socialism. This was the response to the civil rights movement of the 60s/70s, to the environmentalism of the 80s/90s, and to the anti-war movement of the 00s/10s.

Every progressive position is pillared as unworkable, overly expensive, and jobs-killing.

Meanwhile, we sink $1T/year into chat bots that spam your Twitter feed with racist porn and armies of tweaked out sheriffs deputies to crash their cars into anyone they consider illegally brown

No no no. In socialist countries, the Big Government is in control. There’s no freedom. Everyone lives in fear. You don’t even own your own toothbrush.

Anyone who supports socialism is a Tankie who just wants to kill rich white people for fun and doesn’t understand how awful their lives will be afterwards.

Folks can’t remember Bush Jr at all, much less Clinton, Bush Sr or Reagan. They can barely remember Obama, except through a haze of nostalgia.

What’s notable about Trump isn’t his fascism - plenty of presidents have been openly fascist. What’s notable is how many middle class white people are getting sucked up into the current dragnet.

Things are working great and you people need to quit complaining

“Everyone gets a computer in their pocket!”

“Yay!”

“Also, the computer is hooked up to the big machine that injects brain poison into your eye holes.”

“Oh… I guess I’ll just turn the computer off from time to time.”

“If you turn the computer off, your boss fires you.”

Correction.

The anti-natalist folks and the pro-natalist folks are clearly in some kind of competition to produce the shittiest ideology imaginable.

Congrats for putting points on your side of the board.

They say AI can’t replace us, but that’s exactly what I’d tell my boss

Asking my TikTok nephew for a loan to cover rent this month and I have to listen to him rap at me for ten minutes before handing over the cash in crypto.

Being excited that for once you’re riding a NTW-JPT-2A instead of the more common NTW-JPT-2 is autistic.

I might spot you that failing to read the social queues when you want to regurgitate everything you know about a subject is the symptom. Also, the habit of ignoring the world around you in order to immerse yourself in reading materials or other non-social stimulus.

It isn’t the excitement at novelty or the peculiar fascination that classifies someone. It’s the refusal to make eye contact, the obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and the struggle with empathy.
