Extent of the Jam

Getting an early start to #ScanlineSunday with some Ridge Racer 64. It still plays well though it’s no Rave Racer :)

That makes sense!

Yeah I used to visit this Amiga store which also did video production, and I remember seeing a video capture you could edit in DeluxePaint ..4? It definitely wasn’t 2. They were actually using a Star Trek space battle from 2 or something.

The soundtrack is MML :) for those of you not in the know, it’s basically scripted entirely in text.

More pics. I like how they went all out for what is a sort of low budget shooter.

Some pics from one of the booklets.

Today’s #RandomGameSaturday is Triggerheart Exelica, a late era DC release. It’s a strictly OK shmup with a neat mechanic: you can grab enemies and throw them into shots/other enemies. It comes with a soundtrack and art book to sweeten the deal.

QRT: it’s giving me Cobra Command vibes somehow 🤷

Yeah I guess. Or maybe they think they’re “telling it like it is when everyone else is afraid to”. Some people are also just freakin damaged.

I personally think most of them DO know better and have gleefully found a way to indulge this side of themselves while continuing to act holy.

It’s parallel to what happened with Trump. People didn’t suddenly become more racist, they just gave a shit somewhat about hiding it before.

Jelly!

Yeah really what has happened is that in a lot of history there was immense anti-Jewish hatred. Then the Holocaust happened and people were shamed into STFUing for a couple generations. Now it’s back in style.

Rotterdam Nation?

Did the swimming pool part take all your lives?

I liked that the 360 one had many sync options. I guess these days a true 54 FPS sync without judder is possible, right? My preference otherwise IS slightly sped up rather than judder. ACA Viper Phase judders and annoys me

This was likely very common, with regards to sound effects as well. (Not RotJ per-se, but grabbing these from action flicks).

I had games that used sounds from Star Trek. One strategy game had the “run awaaaay” from Monty Python and the Holy Grail :D

They understand this. They are actually just racist, as opposed to being misled in some way.

My mom was at a protest today and someone in the protest legitimately said “all Jews can 💀”

If that is your take, you do not belong at a protest for democracy

“The school appears to be adjacent to a Revolutionary Guards barracks” according to The Guardian. And yes, could’ve been an Iranian missile that fell short too. War is absolutely awful and it’s very difficult to assess what’s really happening a lot of times.

:/

My radical take is that the people primarily to blame for the inevitable wave of anti-Semitism we are already starting to see are in fact the people being anti-Semitic

If this Calla person actually gave a fuck they wouldn’t be on X

I remember 25 years ago I talked to libertarians who I felt were naive but seemed antiwar and pro-lgbt

Operation Awesomesauce 🙄

I’m 46 and have seen too much goddamn bullshit

Wow you caught Trump in a lie,
Amazing. That’s like opening your mouth and catching oxygen.

It’s even worse- the mask is fully off at this point. I suspect people fall for propaganda because it scratches an existing itch of some kind.

People are really, really dumb it turns out

I will also add what happens in this country is deeply personal. I have watched as people have normalized all kinds of insanely bigoted ideas and fallen for the dumbest propaganda. I worry about family+friends daily.

Some people need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up forever.

Hey, all you folks who voted third party or not at all to protest Biden/Harris Mideast policies, good job!
