From the reference on the wiki page, it should be published as part of The Portable Sixties Reader on p208-212 - https://annas-archive.org/md5/1a4c9e7d4519296b4947e5efdd8ef024 - just downloading it to read it myself.

Edit: That link was a large pdf that failed to download, changed to a more sensible epub.

I can see it - the top-right green squiggle has a bit of an Amigara Fault vibe to it.

"Th- this lever... it was made for me!"

On that topic, Exalted VS Old World of Darkness is a pretty fun one for the entire point of it being punching all that edgy bullshit in the fangs with shiny golden bullshit that can actually improve society somewhat. Or doubling down on the edgey power thematics, but not having to pay the awwwwwful price and be all mopey about being Killhard Soulshitter.

Earth Defense Force - a B-Movie in game form - has a big problem with the Wing Divers. Their civilian outfit is great, a nice practical flightsuit. Then... their combat outfit is hotpants, and their future-warfare outfit is vertical hotpants. I can accept that it represents a great leap in cyberpunk clothing technology, but...

Anyway, to get back on track, the Ranger's biggest problem is that when he sprints the camera zooms right in on his butt and you can't see anything else.

Stupid Sexy Flanders

"In conclusion the seals ~~were riddled with bullets, smuggling large bricks of cocaine in their vests instead of armour plates, taunting Poseidon, ignoring a very ominous fortune cookie, wearing those nasty falling-apart ten-year-old boots they'd been told to throw out for seven years, had not completed the fishman supersoldier programme to develop gills, and were carrying twenty pairs of cotton socks to protect several bottles of Klingon bloodwine. As a result they~~ sank."

There was a kids show with that plot called The Odyssey. The main character was fighting through a fantasy land that reflected their struggle to reawaken - I think I liked it? I can't really remember.

Here's a nicer existential musing (the second paragraph, but the first is related to it):

With some commentary:

Introducing the iconic new Harris Joyster, a car with the joymentum of an iconic runaway freight train - of joy."

KAOS was very good. Really solid cast - Jeff Goldblum as a paranoid tyrannical Zeus, Suzy Izzard as one of the Fates (who are all great).

...however, it's yet another Netflix cancellation after 1 season.

Ozymandias simply took superheroism to the logically insane extreme that overwhelming violence could bully the entire world into not being so naughty. Since that was more or less how all the other vigilantes behaved on their smaller scale, it's no surprise that they'd bow before it - they were still punching atomized symptoms in the face and he's the Very Smart lad who stood up and said "what if we live in a society and that is the bad guy... so what if we punched society". He's perhaps not quite as far gone as the Dark Judges, but...

Well, maybe. His scheme relies first on trusting the immediate decision-making of a couple hundred military and political types around the world, "society" is pretty much out of the loop until a few days after they avoid triggering MAD by reflex.

Sounds like a niche for leeches! (I say without doing any research!)

It's a devil to let happen, but half-asleep I sometimes hear a kind of susurrus that seems to be composed of half-heard things from throughout the day. But focusing on it causes it to disintegrate - like grabbing at smoke. Maintaining that non-focused awareness is really tricky and I normally just forget and fall asleep.

...honestly a great image if I ever do a GURPS Cabal or Illuminati game.
