  • Got to like third level once

    I’ve no idea how I had so much tolerance back then for difficult games; I recall when I got a megadrive and only ever completed like 2-3 games because everything else was so monstrously difficult. I enjoyed a lot of the games I played back then but I’m much happier today for being able to have easy mode so I can actually the enjoy the game just like no-lifers.


  • Some kind of (Atari?) console that I think only had pong, or if it had other games I can’t remember them.

    The first good games I played? Prince of Persia and Karateka on DOS, also mines of Titan but I had zero idea how to play that. Also word muncher; loved that game but I was a dumb kid and didn’t know the solutions many times. I also got an MSX keyboard and the little tape machine addon that somehow played video games off audio cassettes. I still have zero idea how you put video games on audio cassettes.





  • It must be nice to not care about horrible things happening to most people. It makes it so much easier when you don’t care about people, right?

    Sadly a question you can ask Kopmala and Biden themselves about why they’re not trying to earn back the people whose votes they lost given what Trump’s going to do, but I guess expecting two people to change course is probably infinitely harder than the many, many people who’ve decided not to bother voting.

    But I guess those two must be kept safe from critical questions, seeing as no one’s even trying to pressure them into changing course (except of course for the protesters who most likely count among those who won’t be voting). Then again Biden himself isn’t all that concerned about whether or not Trump wins if we’re being honest.








  • Guys running the one platform be like “they’re pirating our show,” other guy hosting a different platform be like “no, in this region it’s us hosting that show so it’s us they’re pirating from,” third guy hosting another platform be like “next month it’s our platform that’ll be hosting it so it’ll be us they’re pirating from”, fourth guy hosting another platform be like “we’re the guys authorized to actually be selling that show in this region at this time, so they’re also pirating from us”, fifth guy also hosting another platform be like “wait, they’re also pirating this show only we’re authorized to stream but we don’t offer our service in that country”

    Pirate be like “I host everything”

  • Jewish culture and history

    Zionism

    No one here has a problem with Jewish culture and history, Zionism though we do. Socialist and anarchist settler colonialists are still settler colonialists. Those socialist and anarchists you’re talking about, do they fight alongside Palestinian resistance against the Israeli state? In South Africa for example, there were white people who were sympathetic to the plight of black South Africans and aided the ANC especially in sabotage operations; I haven’t heard of socialist and anarchist Israelis who do the same. There was a guy whose name escapes me who I believe was Jewish, who also fought alongside Che if I recall correctly, who initially supported Zionism, but when he went to Israel and saw what Israel was, he fought alongside the Palestinian resistance (having some trouble finding him; he was posted about here on hexbear). Israelis who support Palestinian resistance absolutely have our support here.


  • If I recall correctly, the Hagana, Irgun and Lehi brigade eventually became the modern day IDF (literally). Those Nazi worshippers today are an important cultural aspect of Israel, in the form of helping to brainwash Israeli youth, and they’re also remembered as heroes by Israel (and ‘remembered’ as in the very same terrorists back then who are still alive today are remembered. This wasn’t so long ago that it’s beyond living memory). Israelis also usually go out and protest any time a member of the IDF is on trial for murdering a Palestinian.

    I’ve basically always thought it would be a funny solution to everyone’s gripe with Hamas to just give them new branding as well and voila, problem solved.

    I’ve always thought that if you switch America and Russia/China in most events, it would better fit the narratives.

    For example:

    America brokered peace between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

    America opened up factories in Afghanistan to provide jobs for the locals who are recovering from a war with China.

    America is supporting their ally in Syria and combating terrorists supported by Russia.

    Russia went to war with Iraq and killed a million people and destroyed all their infrastructure.

    The incarceration rate in China is the highest in the world.

    China accused America of spying on them with a weather balloon.

    Russia overthrew the Libyan government, spiraling the wealthiest African country into a civil war.


    Like seriously, switch the stories around and it better fits the narrative we’re constantly being fed. With the view that libs have of Russia, China and America, events would literally have to play out like this if their view was correct.
