@apophis joan starfleet also works

@apophis well call me Miss New Millennium because these dunces are behind the fucking times

@apophis god what is wrong with maybe most of the people in power. like maybe 75% of all federal politicians foam at the mouth for imperialism. you don’t even need to make analogies to rape to make it look wrong, the people in pain don’t try to hide that they’re hurt. i try to be optimistic that all people are fundamentally good but like. at best everyone who willingly participates is wildly delusional

@apophis yeah

@shroomie BUT on the other hand literally everything you hear from the right about "freedom" when it comes to deregulating companies so they can pollute and defame and discriminate, or imposing "freedom" on other countries by colonizing them and forcing their people to adopt westernized consumerist ways of life that depend on the largesse of american military might, and "law enforcement" and "public safety" that's really about letting roving bands of armed men do anything they want to the people without consequence, and "protecting children" that's all about protecting parents' ability to abuse their children...

@apophis ah yeah. god, 1984 is such a special novel, isn’t it?

also i’m on adhd meds and they don’t actually make me better at paying attention at all so the whole first paragraph of what he said flew completely over my head, sorry

@apophis what are the other things i don’t keep up with big christianity

oops oops

A 1986 Japanese guide on how to program using the Family BASIC software for the Famicom features many cute illustrations of Mario and Pauline (known as "Lady" in Japan at the time).

@AppleAmps yeah it’s horny in the same way a stereotypical neet weaboo is. maybe you’re horny but the standees and pitstains are major red flags

@AppleAmps no, esperanto is utterly sexless

@AppleAmps giveemm a tryyyyyy

@fluttergirly my hypothesis is that they’re scared of modders and hackers, but idrk

to me, one of the oddest things Nintendo's been doing lately is withholding switch 2 dev kits, barely anyone has them still, which has left the switch 2 library feeling a little bit wimpy, especially compared to the start the switch got off to

like nitrome, for instance, has a game I've been looking forward to for, getting closer to a year now, called Mouse Work, that they mostly have finished but haven't been able to release because they haven't gotten a dev kit, and they said not only do they not have one, developers bigger than they are that they know also do not have dev kits yet either

@AppleAmps you should watch them maybe. i don’t wanna but you have good opinions

oh? you want to switch to linux but use photoshop? you can use Flunkly, which is almost feature complete except for the one feature you use in PS every day or you could use G.R.O.N.K., a FOSS alternative with the worst UX you have ever seen and does not support JPEGs for ethical reasons

@AppleAmps that’s nice at least :3
