Leaving a trail of death

I think a lot of Ai boosters and detractors alike could stand to spend some more actual time playing with them.

It's Saturday! And I'm too phreaking hot for a fancy intro. So today's random pick is "The Great American Cross-Country Road Race" for Commodore 64, in one of those gatefold folio covers. There's a load of things I can say - but it's the closest experience to a Cannonball Run game I can think of!

SKATE OR DIE

Today’s game is Ninja Princess, a great mid-80s run n gun by Sega (played on the Memorial Collection 2). It had a port to the Master System which expanded upon the gameplay slightly, but swapped the Princess out for “The Ninja”, some generic grey ninja guy, and with a super weak cover. #segasaturn

Gundam fans are talking about ZZ Gundam, and just calling it ZZ, so initially I thought they meant ZZ Top

Sound the alarm 🚨. Delorean Overdrive is back baby. See you all at DNA Lounge for POW 💥. We're bringing the latest set back to the west coast.

After some very careful consideration, I have decided to NOT be on the side that's comfortable with happily doing Nazi salutes.

The game industry should bring back gatefold sleeves. Enough of the plastic.

Steve Bannon was applauded at CPAC after he gave a Nazi salute followed by an “amen.” Elon gave one too. Believe your own eyes & ears. Conservatives have aligned themselves with the ideology that used gas chambers to murder millions.

I wish there were a way to block all the IMAGES OF BIG TEXT people started posting

There is no excuse for Hamas to murder children and parade their bodies like trophies. It is cruel, depraved, evil behavior. Full stop. And there is no excuse to gloat over the murder of those whose politics are different than yours, because you think it somehow "vindicates" you. Full stop.

This is repulsive and dangerous and he knows exactly what he’s doing. It can't be ignored. It must be condemned without equivocation. Never Again isn't just a slogan. It's a call to action. It's time to answer the call and stand up to this festering cancer that's been normalized by the Trump Admin.
