WERE One-Offs: Black History Month

During Sunday's livestream of Strider on Sega Genesis, Angela needed a break. So to finish out the stream, she played 20+ minutes of the 2014 Strider remake. It's much more forgiving than the arcade and 90s home console versions. (At least the Genesis version, anyway.) DC Live! 25 Minutes of Strider (2014)

During Sunday's Strider livestream, I needed a break, so I switched over to the 2014 remake and played that for 25 minutes. That's now up on Damage Control Blog YouTube channel. I admit, the 2014 remake is more my jam, but I will finish the Genesis game.

"Would a centaur big spoon like this?" A centaur big-spooning using his human arms, horse body draping off the bed. "Or like this?" A similar image with the centaur spooning with his horse legs, human head draping off the bed.

🚨 CENTAUR THREAD INCOMING 🚨
Behold, all my horrible centaur memes in one place.
First, the most important centaur question:

Oh hey, it's "AI Slop Bots perform a LITERAL CYBERATTACK on us to steal our fucking articles" o'clock again.

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

just like how people who suck off gen ai software like midjourney, they use oppressed groups of people for their arguments lol. if I had a nickel for every time I, a disabled artist, heard that gen ai is great for disabled people, I'd be making elon musk sweat.

video games wouldn't have been the same without him. RIP

a werewolf in front of a house wearing a ‘BE MINE’ heart and holding a sign that reads ‘THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE’ above a photo of bad bunny

a neighbor set up this werewolf for halloween and instead of taking it down they just update it with seasonal outfit changes. now it’s dressed for valentine’s day and holding a sign with a picture of bad bunny and his super bowl slogan. i love him.

I have been looked into Discord alternatives.

Fluxer, Stoat and Root are what I've found so far.

Take a look if you're on the hunt to move away from Discord given they want to age verify everyone.

This entire narrative depends on a willful blindness to the basic realities of trans life in America. Being trans, especially as a child, is hard! Kids are not getting hoisted on their classmates’ shoulders the minute they put on a dress. There are huge pressures to be cis, not to stay trans.

Pure moral panic. How, precisely, would a child who experiments with a different haircut or pronouns get “locked in” to a trans identity?

The parents who had no problem letting her identify as trans suddenly restrict her from identifying as cis? It makes no sense.

you gotta keep creating and putting stuff out there even if your friends and peers dont support you because ultimately you dont need to chase approval if you are expressing yourself.

you are enough. you dont need to prove your worth to others.

The best part about this Strider run ending with me beating the game is that I'll never have to play it again. You can feel the quarter muncher design and Genesis jank.

Game cover art from the Sega Genesis version of Strider. A brown-haired in a purple tank to top and matching purple pants swings a sword with one hand as he hangs by the hand hand by a handle bolted into the ceiling. Behind him barbarous alien-like goons brandishing guns and futuristic axes are ready to attack.

Tonight I battle Soviet-themed space invaders in Strider. Fingers crossed I finished this game tonight.

DC Live! Strider, Part 3 Livestream at 8 ET – Damage Control Blog Will tonight be the night that I close the book on Strider? (God, I hope so.)

I'm taking another swing at livestreaming Strider on Twitch for Damage Control Blog Let's hope tonight will be the night that I finish this game. And yes, I will be using save states to assist me. Join me at 8 ET as Strider Hiryu goes at it again.

Most folks on the Fediverse/Mastodon do seem to be fans of the alt-tech that gives you self-hosted options. (Matrix, Stoat, and Fluxer.) The only downside being you'd need the technical know how and the ability to pay for self-hosting, and then get your community interested in making the switch.

DC Live! SteamWorld Heist II, Part 5 Livestream – Damage Control Blog Let's hope this afternoon's SteamWorld Heist II livestream won't go swirling down Titan's Drain.

ICYMI I updated yesterday's SteamWorld Heist II livestream announcement on Damage Control Blog with embedded video from Twitch. I had a few rough missions, but things are going well in Titan's Drain in attacking the Rattlers.

Didn't get to Red Tails as of yet, but I marathon a *bunch* of stuff yesterday with my spouse for Valentine's Day.

The newest episode of Frieren
Three episodes of S5 of Golden Kamuy
Finished S3 of Invincible
Three episodes of Fire Force (S3, I think)
All the current episodes of Trigun Stargaze

As a professional software for >20 years, I lack the words to describe the combination of rage and horror I feel watching the entire industry be consumed by this. LLMs are basically cocaine and everybody is snorting as much as possible all the time.

Only a couple more days to save by preordering! Navy and Olive Green won't be available outside of the preorder window so make sure to get your order in soon! #BSNM
