Don't you want to "<redacted>: Bringing Gotham's Infamous Joker to the Classic Dino Game"? It's a reskin of the dino game, but with shitty Joker sprites and all the sound effects are Joker laughing.

It's actually kind of endearing. The pixel art looks handmade, even if the web host didn't make it, and it's all so bad it looks like they really struggled to put this together. The Dino 3D one is the only one that isn't a reskin-- it's a totally different stolen game.

There's an admin page at <redacted>admin/login.aspx

I'm gonna be honest, the excitement of Obama being elected was real. I understood at the time that the racial aspect was just symbolic, but the symbolism was nonetheless hopeful and felt real. There was a sense that good things could keep piling up. 2008-2011 was a bloomer period despite the recession to me.

About the 10's social justice movement I feel much more ambivalent about. It was too scoldy and moralistic. I actually like and appreciate representation, but now I'm pretty sure is not a viable path of political change. I appreciated MeToo in concept and as something sorely needed, but I definitely felt the gains could have been more solid and I'm not sure if the social media logic of it turned out well. 2017-2020 of BLM was great stuff but in a difficult period. Getting Trump to back down into hiding in a bunker was a sign of something going right. Biden downturn in activism was depressing. I didn't participate in the Palestine movement after Oct 7th but that was too big of a bite to succeed, doesn't mean it wasn't worth a try.

The one thing that feels weird is how sexual politics opened up a lot until the pandemic when transphobic reaction, kinkphobia and tradwifery really kicked up.

P.S. Also, let this be a remembrance of old Reddit of late aughts. The original iteration before gamergate and other reactionary campaigns, it was a nice if techie biased place online. I remember the hacktivists, the Anonymous, Occupy Wall Street, Aaron Swartz, the left libertarians, leftists and progressive circles being quite active on the site during the great recession. It was not a reactionary dump back then. It offered a good exposure to lots of new movements brewing. The internet becoming an outrage machine and Obama leading into reaction was not foreseeable. It's kind of wild how we used to follow authors en masse online. Now we have influencers and the internet is mostly AI slop and the information is becoming enclosed.

Once upon a time, a blogger or am obscure academic could go (relatively) viral and that was cool. The internet used to be a place you could go for an escape instead of being the mainway for interfacing with the society and becoming upset.

Parking reform, open borders, drug legalization and /r/ShitRedditSays were pretty good political influences for the time period. Later /r/chapotraphouse was great not because it was free of bad actors but because it did have a bunch of great posters I've followed elsewhere and it could laught at itself on occasion.

yeah don't expect to get an nvidia card for months. it's a paper launch, where they technically have cards available for purchase but are so under demand that almost no one can get one. it's not even a scalping problem really, it would be a problem even if they weren't around. the scalpers couldn't get them either.

there's been launches like this before, 2020 was notorious, but this is bad even by graphics card standards.

gamers nexus did a video about it. they can only guess about why nvidia even launched in this state, I think the most likely reason is that they didn't know what the tariff situation would be in a few months so they're getting as many cards as they can into market now, even if it's not nearly enough.

I always get a little lol about how a perl script made by a snooty mac blogger in 2004 is the de facto way to write text on the internet, and every single implementation has its own quirks and bugs. there was an attempt made to standardize it as commonmark but everyone involved was kind of incompetent, and it has never reached 1.0 despite being used by almost every internet user. "fixing markdown" is a quest only for a foolish and everyone agrees it's better broken

Haha you've been markdowneded

If you want to have simple line breaks, instead of paragraph brakes, you can put two spaces at the end of a line
