I still think about how internet has utterly changed our understanding of local, state, and global politics.

That’s a surprisingly earnest response and view on characters in art and media. I find his sincerity pretty refreshing to honest.

Joe Biden would be the only sneakerheads whose whole collection would be fake Jordan’s. Being a broke Delaware politician is proof of my hypothesis.

Being totally honest I have tried to move a lot in 2023 and I noticed my many chains. Debt being the big one around my neck, healthcare and insurance are about my wrists in regards to employment, and I feel like work/free time are the ones at my ankles. It’s really frustrating that the more I realize I am capable of doing the more I see the limited horizon around that capability.

I feel like going back to school was great choice (I like learning and I think being an educated black man is a virtuous thing for the sake of myself and those who came before me) but it sucks to realize higher education and possible more debt is the only pathway forward for technical advancement. Going back to school also really shows me how limited peoples time is (especially adults returning to education), I cannot really engage with clubs and organizations and build connections and friendships with peers. It’s really just a shame, it’s nothing life-threatening like our comrades in Palestine 🇵🇸 but it sucks.

Sadly i can’t my chains away. I can’t just hustle grind my chains away. It really sucks to not see a solution in the foreseeable future, still worth trying to move though. Even just to hear the rattle

Well. That sounds convincing enough to me. I'll check out the official site and create my typical test of a language, creating a basic dice rolling console program.

Real question for the techies, is Rust worth hacking around with? It’s just “C++ - Director’s Cut” right?

Arcade style driving games remain utterly undefeated. The game lets you drive you own late 90s early 2000s car chase scene action movie. Also the soundtrack fuckin rips!!!!

Did they not understand at all what the whole Mutants were coded for?

Stan Lee said it didn't matter if they were Black or White or Latino or whatever - they were Born That Way.

Stan Lee said there is no room for bigotry in Marvel. It has always been stories about what's happening right outside.

The X-men is an anti-bigotry story.

It's crazy to think that katz still miss this very obvious (and cool) message. I STILL have people complaining about "woke" at my real life comic shop. Luckily those people are sort of becoming fewer as the real-heads know that comics are for everyone. I'm actually really glad that these losers are being pushed out of nerd-shit. I'm rather anti "fanboy/fandom" in the abstract, but I do think it's generally good that fans of comics and stuff are pretty actively make it known that bigots and other losers don't belong. Which is cool.

The rest of this post is just an aside about remakes

I love comics I really do, but I think this sort of nostalgia extraction is just bad for TV, comics, and movies overall. Don't get me wrong taking stuff from the past and doing stuff with it is fine, but just leaning into "Remember when we were able to make good stuff, what if we just re-made that again" is just bad for the medium.

I think there are tons of great X-men stories that could make for great animation adaptions, and I still think the 90's X-men series rules (and even the bonkers plotlines of today's X-men comics still rule), but I think it's just really bad for comics/tv/movies to just so readily inject nostalgia-ium into your eyeballs. I feel the same way with video game re-makes (FF7, RE4, Dead Space) and we all had this issue during the 2010s where everything was a remake of some 80's film.

We already have problems getting new characters, new stories, and new ideas into the medium. I know I'm just overthinking it because it's just content slurry at this point, but goddamn it kinda sucks that of all the creative richness Marvel's catalogue offers it sucks to just release a "HD remake".

Marvel has a lot of stinkers don't get me wrong, but they also have tons of stories and character's that could easily make great animation that could stand beside their DCAU conterparts.

It's really a shame. I think a lot of the customization options in a game's in-game store are usually pretty bad. A lot of them are just over-designed, often gratuitous and gaudy. However looking at the Diablo's stuff I see a lot of really cool armor sets, weapons, and effects that seem to fit into the world of Sanctuary. It's a bummer that it creates totally needless fragmentation of the art and visuals.

I can't imagine any developer thinking it's cool or good to know that only a very small subset of players get to play with some of the goodies.

Unironically the sequel of Disco Elysium will be all the art and artists that are inspired by it. Everyone who plays Disco Elysium and says "I should make X" and then does it, will be the sequel to the game.

The side-stories are wonderful. All of them are fully realized and very well done. Just great stories and characters all throughout. You'll dig it for sure.

I find it dreadful The Atlantic the supposedly "learned" and "reasonable" calls it a an accurate understanding of a rigged economy a "belief".
