Twitch streamer of games like No Man's Sky, Valheim, and Kerbal Space Program, with a bit of retro and everything else thrown in on the sides.
Can't wait for the new generation of big-act protest songs.

This is gonna be lit!

For real, thought I had a nice one:
But now it's playing ads more frequently than claimed.
Ads are interrupting playback until phone-screen is turned on (WHILE PLAYING TO CAR-AUDIO WTF?)
They're *also* a service taking ad dollars from state-sponsored domestic terrorists

Most of all I want "Han shot first"
He was the scoundrel, the smuggler.
Good to his friends, trouble to anyone else.
It made his entire character's arc all the more interesting.
Taking that away killed what was so special, so hopeful:
that bad could turn good.

I don't think I could've been as nice once she was caught on the hook in an obvious lie.

I would have demanded she confess to lying, and apologize on the spot, or face charges for contempt and lying under oath.

Facebook is a hate machine.
Knew this when I left it last year.
LGBTQ?
You are NOT safe there, it is an attack vector if you stay.

Unsure about Bsky honestly, don't have evidence of anything specific good or bad, but Twitter and Meta have removed ALL doubt about their Nazi collaboration.

Yeah, I already view Newsome as a *threat* to many of my friends.

If he'd sacrifice someone's rights to win?
He'll sacrifice anyone's rights to win.

Immediately and permanently disqualifying.

We need allies, and by that we mean allied to our side, not the side hunting us.

I still need to really dig into it too. Got hooked on Star Wars Outlaws.

To clarify the book suggestion there:

The description of the lengths they go to in order to cool their reactors in that book is absurd, and more or less realistically addresses the problem of overboarding RIDICULOUS amounts of heat in space.

It's NOT easy.

Space in shadow is "cold" with no convective help.
Space in sunlight is "hot" with no convective help.
To escape "space is hot" you need to go so far out from the sun it neuters the speed of the data center...
And you're still stuck only radiating heat.

More people should read Saturn Run.

Just don't let Aspyr near it, that's all I ask.
