Do it loser, we have weird shit like Mystery of the Druids.

Oh, but you better do it quick 'cause you know piracy is just going to get harder and harder. Mmm mmm I love being arrested for copies of zeros and ones from 30 years ago.

Fucking hell, capitalism ruins everything. I was excited for the Switch 2 'till I saw it was just as overpriced as the others.

It's just sad to see what even was once such a weird and experimental industry become yet another over invested industry.

Fuck shareholders. Fuck Capitalism. Fuck endless growth and the monitisation of fun and creativity.

I crave weird experiments like Seaman on the Dreamcast.

I also regret that I live on this side on the revolution. That I would have to live and most probably die through the revolution I am failing everyday to help organise.

Despite all this "learn to code" rhetoric my whole adult life, it feels like a desert of actual software. So much of society still perilously runs on software relics that only proliferated because it was dangerously easily to make them in access and VB6. Games are just asset flips or repackaged nostalgia. The latter will lead to a crack down on game emulators and ROMs, the open distribution of which are hiding the obscurity of people's lack of curiosity.

"learn to code", asset flips, nostalgia

finmaxers ruining society at every layer, in every possible way

Seriously socialism will look like a technological renaissance just from a some actual investment.

Would love to have the free time to write weird games with nim. Advanced meta programming for all kinds of experiments. Push old hardware to its limit while being portable.
