The first time a heater turns on for the year

How dare he?

We had Shufflepuck Cafe on our Macintosh Plus. Loved that game, but also infuriating

Was pong on the Telstar, along with Tennis and i think two more similar super basic games? That’s what we had

Holy smokes, I forgot all about that thing! Seeing a picture of it brought out some ancient archived memories

I loved this game! I’d send swarms of armored cars against my brother.

Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey. I only discovered it fairly recently and it has already become my go-to read whenever I’m looking for some peace and simple natural spirituality with a generous side of denouncing the absurdity of modern culture and overaggressive “progress” and development.

Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.

When I say I’m tired of working for a living I don’t mean that I don’t want to work, I meant that I don’t want to work for other people doing something I don’t care about so someone I don’t care about can better achieve something I don’t care about just so they pay me money for it. I’m happy to work when that goes directly goes toward my own well-being and that of my family and local community. I just get so tired of doing work that I have no personal investment in beyond “it makes me money so I can then give that money to other people.”

So I play Rimworld and dream of what it would be like to have a role in a small community where everyone does their part for the direct benefit of the community and it isn’t all just about money.

I’m still on my Blizzard boycott that started with the Blitzchung thing. Family and friends have tried to get me to drop it to play with them a few times, but a boycott doesn’t seem like it has much purpose (or effect) if you just drop it after a while when nothing has changed.
