Monopolies gonna mono
So you've probably heard by now that well-known and SUPER trustworthy company Microsoft has cut a deal to buy up that scion of feminism Activision Blizzard, for the bargain price of $69 (nice) Billion dollars in cash. Honestly, I couldn't really care much less, as Overwatch has been sliding downhill slowly and I'm not invested […]
Sigh
gamers, talking to Ubuntu devs: we want better performance and access to bleeding-edge drivers Ubuntu devs: snaps? gamers: no, performance and drivers Ubuntu devs: snaps! gamers: bye
NPR: Neo-Puritan Revival in the #MeToo Age - Tablet Magazine
I remain unconvinced that there isn't a concerted effort to take down streamers and gamers in the last week, but I think this article has new relevance. In the bad old days of abstinence education, purity pledges, and 7th Heaven on The WB television network, the common wisdom about sex went something like this: guys […]
About PSO2-NA
Just a note for anyone looking around the ruins here for old PSO players: Until a standalone installer is made available, I won't be playing PSO2, as I am a full-time Linux user and don't own an XBox.

This "ancap" […]
Oops, sorry coach, I missed the shot
So, gruesome but (maybe) amusing thought: You know how back in gym class, if you didn't want to participate, it was easiest to get out of it by being really, really bad at the sport and getting your team angry at you by playing badly? Wonder how well that would work at a gun range....
Sometimes, I don't know why I bother
So here we have the GLUON robot arm kickstarter, which looked like a pretty damn cool toy at an amazing price. Of course, it was too good to be true, and yet another kickstarter ends up being ruined with no recourse and no explanation from anyone involved. This officially puts my Kickstarter record at more […]
