Recently, I've been hooked on a new MS-DOS RPG called Penult.
A port of a 2024 Atari 2600 RPG (yes, you read that right), this game is modeled heavily after the early Ultima games. With an easy interface, a balanced challenge, and a variety of fun characters, this game is a blast!

I also like the inclusion of a non-binary gender option, and having a lot of men, women, and dwarves, represented in this game. Easily the most woke Atari 2600 or MS-DOS title I've played (laudatory). ;)

A Ukrainian MiG-29 crew used two AASM-250 HAMMER bombs to strike a concentration of Russian forces, with both munitions hitting their targets. #Ukraine

Alright, maybe a hot take, but...as much as I love The Buzzcocks, I think I love the Fine Young Cannibals cover of Ever Fallen In Love even more than the original (which already has a high bar!). This one has such brilliant instrumentation and reworking.
intelligence is knowing that if i ever looked up anything about Magyar, Lula, or any of the other election winners i would probably not be great fans of their politics
wisdom is knowing it doesn't matter because defeating the global chud coalition is all that matters for the foreseeable future
Born 1963, so:
End of legal segregation

Same sex marriage
Lower poverty rate
Lower infant mortality
Higher median income
Higher life expectancy
When I was a kid there was Pizza, Fried Chicken, and Chinese Food Not Otherwise Specified. Today you can order Thai food, Indian food, actual real Mexican, Ethiopian, Japanese, all kinds of good stuff.
If you are using the word "slop" to mean "engineers used a tool to quickly save a valuable resource from a security disaster" then the word slop has lost all meaning.
Trump: "I gotta show I'm all man. We're all men. We're women. We're whatever the hell we are. But I know one thing -- there's only two of us, right? There's not seven of us."
I wish Biden had been a war hawk who shipped thousands of Bradleys to Ukraine. I wish our entire stockpile of 155mm rounds were used on Russian soldiers. There isn’t a single escalatory act NATO members could commit against Russia that I wouldn’t support.

I don't know if this is a hot take with game show enjoyers but...I like the first Wheel of Fortune theme from the 1970s way more than the more popular Changing Keys (which I still like). This track has soooo much fun 1970s energy.
As much as I've loved Command and Conquer: Red Alert for a couple decades, it's only now that I've finally finished the Allied campaign!
It's more challenging, but I liked this one more than the Soviet one. This, along with Wolfenstein: The New Order, might be my all time favourite video game.
❗️French President Emmanuel Macron stated that helping Ukraine is not a matter of goodwill, but a shared European interest and a matter of our security. Surrender means weakness, and weakness is danger.
Lately, I've been hooked to the Command and Conquer franchise, and my latest militaristic adventure takes me to the MS-DOS version of Red Alert.
I've yet to finish the Allied campaign of this game, so I'm making a serious attempt at it. This, with new Wolfenstein, might be my favourite game ever.
Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.
The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

🇬🇧 Boris Johnson condemns the US decision to ease sanctions on Russian fuel, calling it “disgusting” and accusing Washington of making American drivers finance Putin’s war.
“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (LucasArts) was released 29 years ago!
The second and final Star Wars game with FMV sequences left me with some very fond memories.
32 years ago today, we held the launch party for DOOM II at the Limelight in NYC, a former church. Happy birthday to DOOM II, but also, happy birthday to the Super Shotgun, the be-all and end-all of many a monster.
Garry Kasparov: "Trump doesn't want to hide anymore. He is Putin's business partner (a junior one!) and thus an accomplice in Russian crimes against humanity in Ukraine."🔻
