Yeah, after establishing a deeply tortured chess metaphor and beating it to death and beyond, Yud proceeds to just straight-up bitching about how nobody is taking his book seriously. It just fucking keeps going even as it dips into the most pathetic and hateful eugenics part of their whole ideology because of course it does.

The Forrest Gump of American Weirdos is a pretty solid description here, yeah. Also how had I not heard about the fucking Rajneeshis before now?

Casio and their target market are my kind of nerds. Taking a silly idea and an iconic design and pushing the engineering to its limits entirely for the bit is absolutely unhinged and I'm so happy they did it.

Bold move, Cotton. Let's see how it pays off. (It pays off in human misery)

Count me as excited to see where this goes. Absolutely fascinating to see this guy dredged from the abyss of history and see how cleanly it rhymes with modern horrible. And to see that the inability of bigots to write a goddamn joke isn't a recent loss.

Also the intro and outro compilations were beautiful. Very well done.

Have they checked him for scurvy? Apparently scurvy can be a problem for these asshats.
