Glad to see Castlevania on that list, that game was brutal on little me as a little kid.

But let’s get real, there is a long tradition of brutally hard games, and people be bullshitting if they say they beat some of these games without save states 🤣

Let’s also talk about arcade games that are brutal even with unlimited coins - R-Type, Pulstar, ghouls and ghosts, just to name a few. But these are all beatable.

A NES game that I thought was exceptionally hard without save states (looking at you doungen with no lights and hard enemies) is NES Zelda romhack Outlands

Nigga please, I always wore baggy shit

Not the ultra patriots, they think other people’s kids are dieing to keep us safe from … Communism? Socialism? Something like that?

Bro, Trump doesn’t know shit about anything. Xi and Biden though know very well.

Does us vs them really require empathy? I always saw it as a lack of empathy - the empathy in tribalism seems to end at the tribe

Meta is just going to scrub all the Cara content into their AI system anyway. They have no fear because there are no real consequences

Man I miss the real Solaris. Fuck Oracle. At least IRIX never turned to shit

I refuse to pay for a subscription where I don’t own the music. CD’s, records, tapes - I still do it. I do need to start ripping mp3’s off YouTube more though - just a matter of time before shit starts disappearing

What about xmms? It was basically a winamp clone, I used to use that on my Linux boxes 20+ years ago

Nothing wrong with how it was done back then, I still do the same today

Get off your high horse - I’m covered in women and I still love seeing boobs (in person, digital, analog, in my dreams…)

NSNTT -never say no to tits

My lemmgga! This is her! https://www.instagram.com/avalouiise?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

I swear you lemmiers are disappointing me. No one posting source for this lady and her boobs that shutdown a trans-atlantic portal?

If this were reddit, someone might have posted source of this daring lady.

I’m will to bet 4chan has all her leaked OF stuff posted already

I’d say you missed the part where a medical emergency/family emergency derailed even his well thought-out and organized plans.

I can’t tell you how many of us would have broken through our financial challenges had it not been shit happening unexpectedly

Even at 5 to 7 ( and to teenage years) there are stretching exercises that can be done to loosen the foreskin and completely make the surgery unnecessary (and yes there are rare cases where that doesn’t help and surgery is the last resort). I would still say you didn’t have consent at 5 or 6. Sorry to hear you got mutilated

Abrahamic religions 101:

Sure, military industrial complex is probably the phrase you are looking for. I have no solution other than we tried our best in the US with having a civilian leader of the military, just it was impossible to foresee how much money would corrupt the entire political spectrum. All I can tell you is it’s established every society (no matter how big or small) is going to have to have some sort of defense - otherwise they will get pillaged sooner or later.

Problem is people with armies usually want to start conquests eventually… No one has figured out how to stop this through history other than having a bigger and better army

Full agreement. My heart is with OP, but it’s a sad fact of life on this planet that peace without violence or threat of massive violence just is not usually possible.

The truth is there are fucked up people out there, and worse there are the real parasites that seem to love licking the boots of horrible people (staring at Trump and his ass lickers).

Honestly one just has to look at nature - everything from the bacteria to the plants to the birds and mammals are in a constant fight to the death over their next meal or territory - us primates have not been able to escape it, and I don’t think we will (staring at water scarcity, food scarcity, upcoming energy crisis, upcoming climate change crisis, etc etc). Sprinkle a little bit of population explosion into the mix, along with wealth disparity - It’s just gonna get fucking worse going forward I fear

Sort of amazed you have Reagan so high

My sweet sweet summer child. I hope you one day find the most beautiful partner and you both go crazy on each other in unspeakable ways - throw all that “clear thinking” out the window and live in the moment at least once
