    History has ended but the wheels still turn with more blood than ever before. Maybe this will be the moment where we have these advanced 21st century technologies and material conditions getting worse and worse, maybe finally the workers will catch up to these advancements and be able to stake their claim again in this world. Before it's too late.

    Slay the Princess was lovely, I don't know how else to really describe my experience. the hand-drawn art shifting from beautiful to bizarre to incomprehensible sells it for me on its own, but then it's topped off with almost hegellian writing? I'm going to be thinking about it for a while.

    I've also been playing the Wario Land series, so far the standout has been the virtual boy entry weirdly enough. it's easy to emulate despite being sort of obscure, and changing the visuals to black & white instead of that hellish red makes it a lot more enjoyable. something about how crisp the sprites are in this one makes it feel much more modern and fluid than entries that came a decade later. even the beautiful animation of Shake It for the Wii doesn't hold up because of the low resolution. I love wario so much.

    Marathon Durandal recently got a steam release through aleph one and it's really just awesome. i played the first on steam a few months ago and just got done working my way through this one. the map designs can be irritating, the lack of health and oxygen can be cruel, the objectives can be impossible to locate, but this is one of the best games I've ever played. I've rage quitted so many times from these games and taken several day breaks just to jump back into them because the writing and tone stir something in me that no other games can. I highly recommend playing through these if you can stomach it, I've lost sleep and been late to lectures because I've been thinking about it so much. without sharing spoilers, I feel like this experience is similar to a primary theme of the story and like it's almost giving me stockholm syndrome to empathize with a character within the story who got very tired of these dumb spaceships! compared to other shooters of the time, it's amazing, the lighting, the mouse look, the non euclidian maps, the intricacy of the story, they all come together into a mind breaking trilogy that I think I'll have to replay over and over again.

    yo, the server went down after a couple of months, was fairly active but I couldn't afford to run it. the hosting service won't let me back in to the server files so I haven't been able to put a backup on here, but the server was cool while it lasted.

    1. Sly Cooper 2 on the PS2. it's a fun platformer with different styles of gameplay and lots of content. it's probably been surpassed by other platformers by now but it's what I'd play all throughout elementary school and I still come back to it.

    2. Garry's Mod. it has such a huge and long-lasting community that has been pushing out content regularly for well over 10 years, you can build almost any contraption you can think of or get immersed in the multiplayer having heated arguments with 12 year olds from across the world about where you're allowed to build. I don't think there will be a true successor any time soon with the longevity of its engine and its endless stream of content.

    3. fallout 1. I only played it for the first time last year and it's just one of the most solid RPGs I've ever played, the characters are interesting, the gameplay is challenging, and the story is put together very well. each fallout game since has built on the original formula but a few have taken major steps backward, I think fallout 1 is great just to see how the basic structure of a post apocalyptic crpg can work very well with very few drawbacks compared to the Bethesda's buggier recent entries.

    this article didn't work with adblock and NoScript, but the Guardian one did, here it is https://www.theguardian.com/law/2018/nov/20/us-female-genital-mutilation-detroit-michigan-unconstitutional...

    https://www.theguardian.com/law/2018/nov/20/us-female-genital-mutilation-detroit-michigan-unconstitutional

    So the judge ruled that it was unconstitutional because it falls outside congress' general duty of regulating trade, but wouldn't regulating FGM fall under the 8th and 5th amendments? 'No person shall be [...] deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

    Is the ability to refuse consent to a medical procedure considered a liberty?

    I've heard numerous times that 23andme will abuse the information they obtain and either target you with ads or sell your DNA to marketing agencies, are there any non invasive DNA tests available online or elsewhere?

    not that tildes is big enough atm to have big public database breaches, but in the future it's a good idea to store passwords with a secure salting system, especially to help users that might have common passwords like "Diane" in the Tumblr post.

    this video covers it pretty well

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkoGBOs5ecM

    Moffat is good at buildup and solid concepts but it never wraps together successfully.

    Dude wrote one of the best Doctor Who episodes in 50 years (Blink) and then pulls shit like magic time travelling doctor helper dalek clara mcRetCon

    remember the series 6 finale where the plot consisted of the doctor showing up and then suddenly every bad guy in the whole universe runs away and then he finds like River Song's cradle. why did any of this happen? why did the cracks in time in S5 never pan out? Who thought Dinosaurs on a Spaceship was a good idea?
