CAT5 was too expensive, so we had a cheap 10BASE2 network of cables, with BNC connectors, T-splitters, and terminators.

It didn't bother us we had to pack up and lug around CRT monitors, full-size towers, cables and peripherals - that was just how you did the best multiplayer gaming with friends 😊

I know we're supposed to be wary of nostalgia and not oversell it, but I will never not smile when remembering the wee LAN parties of my younger years.

Carmageddon, Quake, Quake 2, Half-Life Deathmatch, Unreal Tournament.

So much laughter, so much carnage, so many GODLIKE multikills 😁

I don't think we should let people transition into fascism, until we get longitudinal peer-reviewed studies into the social contagion aspects of rapid onset nazism.

This country is a fucking embarrassment! 😡

For me this case signals a significant escalation in genocidal intent.

If you're trans start pooling resources together with each other, then find ways to help as many trans people as possible to flee the country.

All we had to do was make the wealthy pay, meet everyone's material needs, give healthcare to all, and encourage intellectual curiosity and kindness, whilst paving the way for a hopeful future where we collectively thrive.

Most people don't believe that's possible, but it is. It always has been.

The Aberdeen Hotel-Shouting Team has managed to combine the 14 Words (global Nazi slogan) with a poppy banner celebrating infamous antifascists. Incredible work.
