I mean... the thumbnail looks almost exactly like Markiplier to me.

All these years later, still can't get his damn voice out of my head, purely from clicking on 'really great vid' links from randos on Discord... bleck.

I feel this is one of the few instances where I can say 'takes one to know one' and not mean that in some kind of rude or bellittling way.

Also: Etiquette!

Thats the word I couldn't think of, thats used in ShadowRun to describe the ... set of vocabulary and base cultural knowledge that functionally constitutes a social class, within those games.

Unless you're an Autist who has heavily specced into the Corpo dialect/persona/mask.

On a barely related note:

It would be funny to watch Markiplier try to take out a Tesla Bot, and then Asimo, and then a humanoid Boston Dynamics robot, in hand to hand combat.

CDS markets are also, currently, right now, freaking the fuck out rofl.

Ive been saying this since Trump announced his tariff / deportation policies before he got elected:

Great Depression 2.0, with nukes and climate change this time!

For those that don't get the joke here...

This is an iconic scene that is intentionally designed to portray a very, very boring lecture from a teacher, which none of the kids want to pay attention to, that they are right to percieve this as boredom-torture.

The motherfucking actual literal topic of the lecture is how the Smoot Hawley tariffs of the 1930s massively worsened the Great Depression.

... god, Damnit.

See, this kind of bullshit is what actually gives some credibility to the various 'cyclical' or 'generation based' models of history.

Such models are often either unjustifiably bold/definitive/precise in their future predictions, or they are reasonably restrained, but the pop culture version of them neuters all the caveats and nuance.

... But goddamn if there isn't some real merit to the idea of humans never learning from their own history being a consistent theme of human history.

Yep.

Thats another prime example of them literally doing essentially exactly their paranoid fears.

Oh howabout FEMA death/concentration camps?

... Well, FEMA is probably fucking over, but the plan for migrants, suspected migrants, and the homeless.... literally is send them all to prison camps, and if we don't have enough capacity, build more pop up semi permanent structure camps on the outskirts of major cities.

They became lost, staring into the void, and now are the monsters they dreamed of.

My recently diagnosed PTSD, following finally being able to escape from and ghost my family of abusive nutters by moving many states away ... says yes, you are correct!

Oh ho ho, no.

The Steam Deck doesn't use Windows, it is much more functional and stable, hahahah.

I am laughing about this because I was working at MSFT when Win8 was being developed/released and their whole tablet push was going on.

Dear god no, the steam deck is way, way less clumsy and broken to use than a Windows Surface was, oh god.

Ironically, I've vaguely followed the same path as GabeN: Used to work for MSFT, now I "secretly," utterly despise them.

... Yes, I agree, the Win8 UI paradigm and the Surface were indeed massive mistakes.

I vocalized this, at the time, when I was a MSFT contractor, and that is a big reason why I don't work at MSFT any more, rofl.

The Steam Deck is far, far easier to use than a Surface or Surface Pro.
