this makes me queasy

both my parents lost their jobs in that same McDonnell Douglas closure too.

the layoffs had long-lasting consequences in the labor market there. my dad was making minimum wage selling TVs at Circuit City for years afterward, because it was so hard to find work with a 2 year degree in EE as that plant had employed so many folks with those skills who all got laid off at once. eventually he had to move across the country just to find work.

that's some raw stuff

ohh this is really good advice. i don't know much about fighting games but it definitely relates to arena FPSs and go a lot

a bold choice for probably one of the last years we have coral that is alive!

oooooooo i'm hype for this now

the months where i can wear a beanie without looking like i'm very into hackie-sack are the best months

i sorta understand why MTG does it but in digital formats, cards can be nerfed immediately at any time if they're too imbalanced, so it should be a lot easier to preserve balance without expiring cards... plus, i'm not really opposed to the idea of a game being "complete". the need to continually be selling new cards is just capitalism making games worse

they make it so you can't use cards older than a certain cutoff point in standard play, you have to play in a special separate lesser format

i was sorta on board with hearthstone until they did the MTG thing where you cards expire after a while. u are definitely right

it's probably a good thing that the forum i spent a lot of time on as a kid is neither still around, nor had any wayback snapshots of anything but the forum index page.

so much retroactive embarrassment averted by poor data retention.

i'm wigglin

i know there's good reasons to dislike the change but i gotta admit it's gonna be a benefit to me personally. i'm looking forward to not having to see gross triggering shit multiple times a day in order to block the pornbots.

definitely a more heavy-handed solution to that problem than was warranted, tho.

i don't think the internet needs any more places dedicated to mocking spectacle

hmm that is true

cool leg

i have only used clisp before, now i have new toys to try out!

augh this is so creepy

she's said some stuff i agree with and some stuff i don't agree with but at the end of the day she's still just a person. in this awful society where celebrity culture rakes in lots of profits, we're taught to look up to famous people (and even only semi-well-known internet people) as arbiters of truth, reason, and good taste. we buy into that at our own peril.

the older i get the more "kill your idols" seems like universally applicable advice.

war of the monsters was all right

i knew i shouldn't have bet my life savings on pollution futures
