Anyone have any app recommendations for accessing this site? I’ve tried Memmy but don’t know if there are better options out there. I’m on iOS.

And obligatory “What if the Nazis won? Cringe counterfactual. First of all, they couldn’t have. Second of all, they did.”

Have you tried Bioshock, Doom, or Wolfenstein? I think you could probably get all of them working on a terrible PC.

Bioshock 1 is about how libertarianism is bad, and Bioshock Infinite (3) is about how Christian theocracies are bad. There are some funky politics in 3 but it’s a fun game. The newest one came out over ten years ago so it should run ok.

Doom is about a guy who has to undo a bunch of corporate malfeasance by sending everyone back to Hell. One of the core mechanics is that you recover health and ammo by getting yourself into the action instead of hiding or waiting around. I think this one might be ok as well, at least the first one, because it runs pretty well on the Switch with all the graphics downgraded a bit.

Wolfenstein is about an alternate reality where the Nazis won and have lots of advanced tech. You have to kill Nazis. The story is really good.

Apologies if you’ve played these before but they’re all worth a shot if you haven’t.

After I read ‘I’m gonna break fast lol’ instead of ‘time for breakfast’ for the 8th time in A Song of Ice and Fire (or whatever it’s called, the first book).

He did that 100%, the article says he went on to say that we need to stop hiring dumb cops and only take on the elite spec ops college-educated dudes. He also took out a handgun and a taser to show the differences lol

I just read Heather Rodgers’ ‘Green Gone Wrong: Dispatches From the Front Lines of Eco-Capitalism’. A lot of these carbon capture companies charge out the ass for these projects, which they then outsource to India, where the local corruption means that these projects are rarely actually done. Additionally a lot of the trees they use to offset Gates’ private jet romps only live for ~50 years, which means that as soon as they die en masse in a few decades all that captured carbon gets released again.

Rodgers and her translator were told to basically get the fuck out of the towns where this happens or else they’d face consequences.

I suppose there are ways to check which companies actually fulfill these orders, but of course under capitalism etc…
