…including a firm headed by the notoriously pro-Israel Larry Ellison.

Finally. Someone finally calls out Larry Ellison by name.

FYI: He also owns Oracle and Paramount/Skydance (CBS). His reach into our data and the information we consume runs very deep.

That was not criticism.

Looks like a constipated turd after you’ve taken too much pepto-bismol.

American troops spreading their seed worldwide must have been of concern to some politician.

I’d start with the one that really kicked the segment into high gear; Ironsworn. More specifically, its sci-fi (western in space) sequel, Ironsworn:Starforged.

Also, most Free League games that have been released lately have included a solo mode. Also a solo mode for Cyberpunk Red has also been recently released. Most if not all of these solo modes have been inspired or heavily influenced by Ironsworn.

Also, the PDF of the original Ironsworn is free to download. Although the setting (think viking) is not to everyone’s liking, there are hundreds of re-skins and hacks for it.

It’s cold out there and there are lots of germs spread around in crowds. Y’all should really mask up. You know, for health reasons.

Gaming:

• Steam Deck and Linux gaming altogether
• Solo TTRPGs
• The TTRPG space in general
• Board games

Music making:

• Dirtywave M8
• Synthstrom Deluge
• Elektron Digitakt
• An absolute flood of amazing software and plugins
• Tons of pedals from boutique manufacturers
• Music software for mobile devices
• Import guitars are top notch without breaking the bank

PS: A ten year old GTX 1080ti can still run most modern games at 1080p…which is still a very popular entry level monitor resolution.

Dirty Laundry, Gastronauts, and Game Changer is where it’s at.

Drats!

I believe he was referring to hispanics being treated like feral animals by the fascist government.

Not that your comment is incorrect, just that the context was misunderstood.

Interesting comment. Interesting choice of comparison. Interesting lack of commentary on a similar post about Billie Eilish’s Grammy speech.

I want to give props to the crew member who stayed involved and interacted with the dialog the entire skit.

So are you moving to other subscriptions, based in another country, that are also at the whim of other corporations?

I think it’s time more people learn how to self-host what’s important to them. At least make sure to keep multiple backups of all of your media.

You can’t unfuck this chicken.

100% I am definitely not offering an easy fix, and I hope my comment didn’t read that way. This chicken is…

My point is that had companies and governments no opted to put all their eggs in one basket, it wouldn’t have mattered as much whether the US morphed into a fascist hellscape or not.

The entire point of the Internet’s infrastructure design was for it to be highly distributed. At some point, companies and governments decided to cramntheir entire critical IT infrastructure into monolithic services. In this case it was the US, but it could have been anyone anywhere. No matter who, it was a bad practice and everyone is now realizing why.

This isn’t a “US bad” problem. This is a “don’t be stupid, stupid” issue.
