  • It was always about a campaign of terror and the charade of “doing something“.

    For over 45 years, the “war on drugs“ was lost before it began. Drugs won. Why? Because everyone loves drugs. And the only way to win the “war on drugs“ is to reduce or eliminate the reasons why people want to use drugs in the first place: because they’re fucking miserable. Happy people don’t use drugs. Well, not the bad drugs. Happy people like smoking weed, but weed isn’t really one of the “bad drugs”. Anyway…

    No, no… All of this was performative bullshit to make the “strong men” look strong when, in fact, they all knew it wouldn’t really accomplish anything other than making the American public think that they were actually accomplishing something. Which, of course, they weren’t. Nothing, aside from, of course, the stochastic terror they have been perpetrating upon everyone. and murdering brown people, which the Nazis in the current administration, love, regardless of the purpose or end result.


  • Ugh… all I can say is that I hope you’re wrong

    And I feel fucking disgusting for voting for both Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. Jefferies used to be my house representative. That fucking useless shit. I feel dirty for helping get that guy elected in the first place. Yuck. What a fucking letdown.

    He promised so much, and delivered exactly fucking nothing. I met him once. Shook his hand. He lied right to my goddamn face. What a fucking bastard.

    I don’t even get me started on Corey Booker. Fucking New Jersey… Those assholes can’t even pump their own fucking gas





  • I loved Fallout 4 too (started with the first Fallout, played them all), and being able to play Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Cyberpunk in VR is indescribably awesome.

    look… It’s not that I don’t wanna experience Cyberpunk in VR-- it’s just that… well, I’m afraid that if I cum too hard in VR, that I’ll never be able to cum again (metaphorically speaking). And Cyberpunk 2077 is just… such and amazing game… the first game I’ve played since Fallout 4 that has even come close to "tickling my pickle* _that I would never risk… that.

    What I loved more than anything about Fallout 4, is that you (the Survivor) were treated as an independent entity in “the world”, and the game happened independent of you and your existence in it. You (the character) existed, independently, both before and after the game started and completed, and, once the game was done, you (the character) could continue to live a full life, in the world, and continue to interact with the full world and all of its characters, FOREVER, and build you own new life. even an entire civilization, if that was your wish. And I did. often. FO3 and FONV, both had a definitive beginning and end. FO4 gave the player an open universe in which a story happened to occur. I loved that.

    oh… and the mods… the endless forever mods…

  • I appreciate your insight. I also appreciate you confirming my suspicions: that VR, even today’s VR, isn’t much more than a novelty that I would very likely get bored of after 6 to 9 months, especially after investing a tremendous amount of money into it. FOMO gone

    I’m in my late 40s as well, so I grew up with such VR promises as you did, and I very much doubt that today’s reality could possibly live up to the promises of the aforementioned yesteryear. Not that I wanna become the Lawnmower Man anyway. Also, FWIW, I’m very glad that I can still achieve the requisite amount of immersion by simply staring at my screen. Atmos-enabled headphones help, I will admit. No special goggles required.

    Edit: btw, I only just got cyberpunk 2077 during this year’s summer sale on Steam, and I just spent 135 hours on my first play through, and now I’m starting my second play through. It’s the best game I’ve ever played since fallout 4 (my previously favorite game, and I just don’t understand why anyone hate fallout 4. I have over 20,000 hours on that game.) my settlements were built into cities– to the point where the game engine couldn’t handle generating any more NPCs to populate them, so even loading the area just cause content crashes, regardless of how much RAM I had in my machine.










  • I was not very interested in seeing the new The Odyssey film, but considering the nonstop conniption fit that the MAGAs keeps having about it, now I absolutely have to see it. Certainly, it must be a cinematic masterpiece if it makes them this angry.

    It has been my experience that any film’s artistic value (or that of any artistic work, for that matter) is directly proportional to how angry it makes the MAGA crowd. At this point, it’s practically the strongest endorsement of an artistic work’s intrinsic value.

    And I can’t imagine a better version of it than seeing it acted out in the oeuvre of The Muppets.
