It’s understandable that you would relate the topic to your own experience, but in your context “reverse racism” would be Dutch people claiming that your frustration or hostility toward them is racism, and more pertinently that any action to see you given equal treatment is racism against the majority. It’s an absurd…

The grey tears are delicious, thank you. “Reverse racism is just racism” is a new wrapper on the same shit sandwich. If you buy it and you’re not a white supremacist, you have been duped by white supremacists. 

If you believe “racism against white people” is a thing, much less a problem, the Nazis have a foothold in your brain. Reverse racism is literally a KKK PR campaign left over from the Civil Rights backlash.

As a hillbilly by birth who knows some married cousins, I find it at worst questionable, and not remotely “just as wrong.” “Reverse racism is just racism” is both a false equivalency and a well established tactic of distraction. We know that harassment of people of color on Twitch is an actual problem, so why are we…

It’s literally not, in that they’re happy now and whatever problem they had is resolved, whereas your world is salt. 

That’s fine. I have quad-digit hours of enjoyment in games that only get better over the years I’ve played them, and you have twenty bucks. Win/win. 

You are the first person I’ve ever encountered who was upset about the changes to NMS, particularly the last update. Most people had the exact opposite emotional journey with that game.

Wow, you were reminded that people who aren’t just like you exist. I can see it was very traumatic for you. Do you need a safe space? Can I get you a glass of milk?

Lots of places have Milky Ways. 

ThinkGeek carries a product that doesn’t crumble into plastic shards upon actual use? Don’t get me wrong, the bag sounds great, but most of their stuff is dollar store quality with a niche interest markup.

Had no idea Mulaney was involved with Big Mouth. I pretty much judged it by its cover and wrote it off as another “edgy” cartoon, which is a space with a lot more noise than signal these days. Maybe I’ll check it out.

The only way I’ve heard of him is because he shit talks legends like Seinfeld and Rock?

Cue Wargames gif. 

I’ve had the colony itch lately, but don’t want to start a new colony in Rimworld or ONI with big updates incoming. I think about picking up Surviving Mars again, but while it was more interesting than the Tropico games, it still has that bland dad-joke aftertaste. The happy ending is, I ended up firing up Cities…

There are more systems and features now, but Rimworld has been a complete game for years - probably the most complete game in Early Access. It’s also wildly configurable, especially when you look a the prevalence of mods, many of which have their own highly configurable settings. You can play a different game on every…

Turning it around, when Antisocial Hegemony Cowards say “human,” they don’t know what it means. They mean “like me” or “my tribe.” They have no concept of humanity and no framework to process a humanistic view. Nothing is bigger, as important, or as real as tribal loyalty.

Kind of beside the point.

Am I nuts, or are financial instruments the last thing on earth you would want to crowdsource? Find people who actually know something and don’t have skin in the game.

Not much gametime this weekend, but I started a new Rimworld colony this week, so I’ll probably visit.

A little over halfway through, this season is less than compelling. They’re laying the conceptual episodes a little thick, and none so far have been as successful as in past seasons. All the characters are just flailing around in messes that are mostly left over from last season or before. New characters are mostly…
