I kinda love it

You know, I probably agree. We’ve, at the least, been headed in that direction. And, are likely about to plunge all the way in, a month from now

I looked up oligarchy on Wikipedia out of curiosity. Although it’s debated, the U.S. is listed as an example of one

wtf do we call our society, anyhow? Just “capitalist”? Is that still the term?

“We” have been heavily propagandized into this. As a nation we’re a masterclass in being brainwashed against our own interests

Maximum Overdrive v2.0

Awesome, thank you!

Edit: looked up Lethal Company. Sounds pretty cool

What’s that panel from?

Feel free to upload more AI generated pictures claiming to be him that aren’t, post them to…

ftfy

I mean, how do we really know he didn’t just push himself out of a window? 🤔

I truly can’t tell if this is a perfect textbook nostupidquestion or someone being disingenuously obtuse.

I only did a cursory check on Steam, but it indeed still looks like a thing, with some games saying they are “sinden lightgun ready” (which seems to be the main lightgun out on the market currently)

Thanks for mentioning this! I found out about this lightgun after posting. It gets some decent reviews, though there are some threads discussing how the setup can be onerous. I also saw some games on Steam listed as “sinden lightgun ready.” I’m going to research it a little more but tempted to get it.

Someone else mentioned VR. It didn’t even occur to me!

That does sound like a lot of fun. VR has been completely off my radar, but I can definitely see your point about it being a successor. Hadn’t even thought of it. What VR system do you use?

I’m lucky to live near an actual old school arcade — Spy Hunter, Gauntlet, Mortal Kombat, and a host of other ones!

The FIFA games from a couple of years ago had an instance of that, with the Japanese spectators seen cleaning up in the stands after a game

I hadn’t either but tbf most people hadn’t heard of the fediverse until that Reddit thing. In this case the entirety of Wikipedia could along with an exodus, should one be warranted

Pretty sure special agents already know how to do this (or is that what a special agent would say?)

Read the headline, immediately checked if this was some the onion type of magazine

My sense is that Canada is not so far behind, either. The same rise in right wing thought, increasing wealth disparity, the crumbling of the health care system and on and on. I feel sad about that.
