oh, good point about console games. i wonder if you could use multiplayer on a pirated console game with crossplay

in other news, water is wet

the ones I build. I have to admit the Switch is really fun, but at the end of the day it's just another DRM machine. I'd rather have a rig sitting somewhere that I built to my exact specifications, that I can connect to from wherever, and that will run whatever I want

doesn't the Bible specifically warn about people like Trump?

For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. i can handle horror just fine, but Echoes of the Eye is on entirely another level of horror than most everything else. i was only able to complete about a third of it before i got too psyched out to continue

I can sort of see the appeal if it were able to plug into your smart home or something so it could respond to queries like "where's the dog", but as a general knowledge assistant it's worse than useless (unless it magically doesn't confabulate anything anymore)

I'm not too keen on Tomorrowland. it's got a lot of great man theory messages in it, which isn't surprising since it was written and directed by Brad Bird, a notorious Objectivist
