It’s looking like we’re doing a China again.

Companies are dumping tons of money and putting their vital resources in the UAE cause it’s cheaper and/or they can get away with murder.

This will not end well and we will end up creating a new super power nation cause capitalists hate the poor so much here that they will risk the nations standing to make an extra buck.

Peace for whom? As far as I can tell since Nakba, the Palestinian people have not really had peace. Additional many other countries are often suffering under the boot of colonialism.

One 11 minute story?? They better not cut the variety aspects of Sesame Street. Personally I feel like going from 1 hour to 1/2 hour was a mistake already, going shorter won’t help. Things feel rushed. My children become invested in the narratives they write, the variety segments serve as additional memorable bits they hum and sing to themselves later on too.

I never understand the constant pressure to the middle class and “poor.” Like how do you expect ANYTHING to get done if people have nothing?

I always go back to thinking about corporations and anyone who produces a “product” and think what consumer will spend the money they don’t have so some company and their board can have more money? If consumers have no money to spend, how will the rich continue to extract it from them? You can’t draw blood from a stone. They don’t even have to care about people, but if there’s literally nothing to take from them, then where is all the “wealth” coming from?

OG Doom and some random WADs.

Why does no one wipe the devices down before taking pictures at the FCC? They're always smudgy nightmares.

Never hood is very challenging without any help. It’s a wildly inventive and weird game.

There were a few weird games I played years ago that I still have on my hard drive:

Armadillo Run - a physics puzzle game https://www.armadillorun.com/

Art Sqool - a weird art project turned “game” interesting, but honestly not very fun. https://glander.itch.io/art-sqool

Windosill - an enjoyable short interact experience https://windosill.com/

Llammatron - a clone of Robotron, an OG twin stick shooter https://playclassic.games/games/arcade-dos-games-online/play-llamatron-2112-online/

Cool Cros Twins - a DOS platform puzzler https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-cool-croc-twins-1dd

Brainstorm Pro - a unique old school puzzler https://www.dosgames.com/game/brainstorm-pro/

Hexxagon - a puzzle battle game https://hexxagon.com/

Laser Light - a logic light puzzler https://www.dosgames.com/game/laser-light/

Assuming this guy is still alive at this point.

He is the byproduct of our system. He is not the source, he is merely the most unflattering look in the mirror of our own society.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’ll work here. For republicans and most supporters: cruelty is the point. They want to see their enemies lose. They revel in “liberal tears” and lust for the downfall of their adversaries. They’re sick in an emotional way. Elon is on record saying empathy is a weakness.

They’re all sociopaths. They only care about money and power for them, anything that prohibits that is an enemy.

 

Let’s open up Lemmy Metal to some album release discussions. This is a hugely anticipated album so there’s no better place to start!

I have many thoughts on it after only 1 play through, but I want to hear what the community has to say first.

 
 

I received a notification last night that someone changed my shipping address on Macys.com and when I visited the website, there was an open order for a PS5 with delivery to a NJ address.

After logging into Macy's I got 43 emails at once to seven different services like "Excalidraw" and "Sportograf" trying to login using a magic link.

At this point was was pretty nervous so I checked my main email security. Sure enough, there have been repeated login attempts under my account going on every few minutes for weeks.

I also saw there was an attempted login to my cellphone or home internet company.

I use 2FA, authenticators, etc. Basically what else should I be doing? Is there any way to be more preventative? I really don't wanna chuck this email but it is possible that may be the safest recourse. I do use this email for almost 300 different accounts to various things though.

8/23 update

So I received this suspicious email as a “note to self” from Microsoft in my junk folder. It says it’s from my address but additionally says it’s an “unverified server.” I am leery of it being legit but it is oddly timed.

I’ve added the opening text of the email: “Hello pervert, I've sent this message from your Microsoft account.

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you.

However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisely.

Have you heard of Pegasus? This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners. It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. It works well on Android, iOS, macOS and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I'm getting at.”

I’ve received these emails in the past and nothing, but I figure it bears mentioning here cause I was legitimately in a less than secure situation a few days ago.

 

[Groove/Doom] (2023) FFO: Crowbar, Alice In Chains, Down.

 

I would love to see a visual representation of where US tax dollars are going based on address. Especially if it has pretty charts.

 

I used up play a ton of Doom mods years ago and a lot of the TCs were fun but lacked substance beyond the surface. Some of the new ones are cool but overly complex. (The Sonic cart game has an hour long tutorial before you start). I was a big fan of Simon’s Destiny, the Castlevania mod for Doom.

Basically I’m looking to see suggestions for free games or total conversions that are worth playing. Before I go spending money onSteam releases, I wanna check out what I might have missed the last few years.

 

A well timed release for Godzilla X Kong day! Check these guys out, both bands are pretty solid sludge!

When I was kid, I could sit in front of TV for hours and sink a day or two away into a game and have no problem having to start the game over from the beginning. Time meant nothing to me and I wasted it like it was a near infinite resource.

Now I am a parent and ain't got time for some of the nonsense that's in games nowadays. I'm lucky if I have even an hour to play each night.

A good example: Forza Horizon 5 allows you to switch cars mid game without traveling back to a house. That to me is a huge time saver compared to the recent NFS games.

Contrarily, Forza Motorsport (2023) makes you do qualifications every round. While realistic, a big time sink.

That said, what are some of your favorite games that have respect for your limited time?
