Yeah, see, the thing about losing at XCOM is it only makes you want to play more XCOM 😃

Good news and bad news. Good news is that XCOM 2 still gets very challenging when you reach the summer months. The bad news is I could not locate the resources for better armor, nor could I obtain the second squad size upgrade, prior to the summer months. “That’s XCOM, Baby!”
On the positive side, I received this achievement 🙂

DO NOT RUN THE FAUCET OVER YOUR GAMING KEYBOARD.
Just because it worked in the 90s, and just because you did it to another one only a few weeks ago, does not mean it will be fine ‘this time.’
It will not be fine ‘this time.’ ⌨️💧🙀

One of the most difficult things for a human being, especially for a ‘career’ leader personality type, to do is to give up power. Joe Biden just gave the world and the future a fighting chance. All else aside, it was a noble, humbling act, on a human level. We should all be very grateful to him for making the choice that he made. Also, if you’re gonna do normie lib politics, you couldn’t make a better choice than Harris 😉

Anyway, happy Caturday night. Remember to be kind to each other, excepting of course to your sworn blood enemies, and don’t act entitled or superior because we all die covered in our own piss and shit, end up alone in a freezer for a while (if we’re lucky…) and then slowly fade away astride the brutally and inevitably collapsing bridge between reality and the construct within our own minds. Forever. Purposeless. In the darkest void ✨

I mean, privatized police forces guarding software tools (because the government won’t or can’t) which are themselves locked up behind intellectual property restrictions (because you should of course have to license a hammer or a nail or a math equation) backed up by what is effectively a government-protected industry monopoly isn’t exactly a recipe for stability or social bliss, but nobody asked me, lol. Anarchy’s already here, children. The rich boys just beat you all to the cornucopia.

What if there was a catastrophe on Earth and all the humans had to upload their brain patterns to corporate servers in order to avoid extinction? And what if, in doing so, they accidentally fell into an anarcho-communist virtual utopia? Yep. This game can sim that! Started out of the gate going extinct. Now we all live in the Oasis. And there are no masters. It’s actually one of the more utopian campaigns I’ve had. Hasn’t even been a war 😊🤖🪐

Fucky tacos it got late, didn’t it? Been paintin’ my house some more. Almost done, except for touch-ups. Painting is a pain in the ass but the war on landlord beige builds character. Sure is a lot of fascism out there lately, and a lot of neolibs all over the West slapping down anybody saying it’s good when fascists die. I’ll say it. It’s good when fascists die. Go fuck yourself. If you disagree you can fucking die too. Also, did you guys hear that COVID is over, and America is back? 🤪

Important point: democracy is simply a social agreement whereby a human being becomes really popular and other humans defer to their decisions by default. Law is simply an agreement that people can use violence to enforce the will of that popular person. That’s all any of it is. Don’t dignify it with any meaning beyond that.
And if it goes sour, it’s okay to burn it all to the ground. There are good reasons for an agreed upon social contract, stability being most prominent, but It’s only a system. It means nothing in and of itself and if it is doing more harm than good you are better off without it. Someone says to you: ‘obey me or I will harm you,’ you always have every right to reply with something to the effect of ‘try it without just cause and we will both end up bloody.’

It’s not all gloom and doom, though, I’m certain. Biden probably has the pro-Palestinian-genocide Israeli vote in the bag 😃. He can ban assault weapons here at home to bolster his numbers with the fascist-oligarch-ear-piercing community, and then send tactical nukes to the Israeli government so they can destroy Hamas. Get your dead brown child body count up, Joe. That’s the key. That’s proper Democratic politicking. Only a few months left until game time!
