  • Unpopular opinion but graphics do matter a little bit or at least more than the meme depicts. Dwarf Fortress was unplayable before they added actual graphics to it. I wish things moved between tiles fluidly like in Rimworld instead of it being a slideshow, but I can actually stand to play Dwarf Fortress now. If the only video games that existed were text-based, I’d probably never play video games again. Ps2 era graphics on the other hand, hell yeah. 90s era dos graphics are passable too. But PLEASE no text adventure games.








  • Computer engineer here (well I have a computer engineering degree and have worked on several computer engineering projects at least). The only point of fucking with an i486 in 2025 for reasons besides “vintage computing” or playing MS-DOS games is that it’s probably the most powerful cpu that can still run on a cheap 4 layer circuit board. This cpu is also simple enough that a i486 chipset can be DIY’ed without ball grid array components. Electronic devices with 4 layer circuit boards are less susceptible to getting ruined by tariffs because they can be manufactured for a reasonable price in places besides just China. Ball grid array components require specialized equipment in order to put them on circuit boards. The easier surface mount (quad flat package) chips required to build a viable and performant i486 motherboard are simple enough that all you need is a cheap soldering iron and a steady hand to solder them onto a circuit board.

    What I’m getting at is that prior to them dropping i486 support in Linux, it was possible to use cheapo microchips from Mouser, connect them to i486 cpu and singlehandedly DIY a modern-Linux capable computer, in theory at least.

    With Linux dropping support for i486, the bar is now much higher. It’s still possible to completely DIY an ever more powerful, non-i486 based Linux-capable computer yourself if you REALLY know what you’re doing (and people HAVE done it).

    I wanted to build one just for fun and maybe to use it like super high performance arduino but now there’s a lot less of a point so meh.


  • I don’t know, but I know of one thing citizens SHOULDN’T do to prevent their country enabling genocide. That is forfeiting their future by electing a dictator that might genocide poor people on the other side of the world a little less in exchange for giving up freedoms. I get it. Voluntarily making our lives worse/harder because it might help poor people in another country sounds like a grand and noble thing to do. But now they’re sending American citizens to concentration camps. If you think this was a fair trade, just block me right now. Don’t be like gen Z and swing voters in the 2024 US election. Sometimes you just have to choose to save yourself first.

    I mean, his enablers are just as guilty. The entire christofascist movement would have had a hard time getting anywhere if it weren’t for a few key corporations providing the services and technological development required to enforce or at least facilitate the enforcement of this ideology. I am being intentionally vague here.

    All I know is that I go out of my way to discriminate against and fuck over people who support things that fuck me over.







  • Wow that’s fucking bullshit. I hope you don’t live in Florida. Florida is the only state where their elections are openly rigged (this part sadly isn’t a joke look up their laws around ballot initiatives). At least the other red states actually bother to pretend like they have fair elections.

    If I want to sniff a woman’s butthole it should be my own damn business. In fact, I HAD a butt sniffing business of my own but then the US Federal government wanted in on it (government officials and law enforcement officers were the majority of my customer base) which meant my business was mandated to become a “drug free workplace” so I sold my business to a homeless crack addict but not before selling all the printer ink on eBay (which i used to buy weed)




  • Whenever I see a sign saying to not flush anything down the toilet. Should I maliciously comply by instead shitting all over the toilet, the sink, the faucet and maybe the door handle just for good measure? Technically I didn’t flush anything down the toilet and therefore I obeyed the sign.

    Or, should I say “fuck the rules” and take a shit and then cum on the shit and then wipe with plenty of toilet paper that I toss into the toilet, then pee on top of it AND THEN flush? Or should I ALSO sneak across the hallway, pants still down around my ankles into the womens’ restroom, steal an aborted fetus[1] or two out of the trash can, and pile all that onto the mound that is by this point higher than the toilet seat? Maybe while I’m at it I’ll sift through the trash for some used condoms to throw on there too.

    [1] its hard to flush fetuses down the toilet. most first time beginners just use the trash can so there’s bound to be one or two if I search the trash cans after hours


  • Robots are usually around a 0.1/10 fuck. There’s virtually no way you’d ever be in a situation where you’d have dick-access to one of those feminine super futuristic androids without first having to pass every drug test there is, every background check there is and like 100 different polygraph tests where they ask if you’re going to fuck the androids. Believe me, I’ve tried.

    So that leaves shitty unsexy stuff like cnc machines, rc planes, rock crushers, lego robotics, and all kinds of unsexy bullshit. How the fuck do you fuck a quadcopter? Cum all over its blades? Have fun rubbing that one out, it’ll take forever. No curves or sexy holes or anything.

    Honestly just fuck a couch cushion or something instead. Maybe some day drone manufactures will start at least making them with retractable buttholes.


  • I fucking hate fart culture. You’re expected to just always hold in all your farts at all times. That can’t be healthy. How are you supposed to know if you’re about to shit your pants or if you just need to fart?

    I know the drill - it’s no farting within 500ft of a woman. Literally 1984. So many times I have taken a trip to the bathroom to take a huge dump only to end up filling the toilet bowl with fart gas and nothing else. And if you don’t go through all this bullshit you get labeled, known and usually publicly shamed as a “known farter”.

    And I don’t want to smell anyone’s farts besides mine either so stop farting in my fucking face just because I fart in the office sometimes. Sheesh. Fucking neurotypicals and their idiotic cult bullshit they all brainwash each other into believing in.

    I farted 4 times while typing this and no I didn’t wipe.
