- Comment on What was the first game you ever bought ? 2 weeks ago:
Ultima III for Apple ][ in 1983. Paid with months of saved up allowance. So damned worth it.
Fun side note… I bought it from the same computer store where I nearly bowled over Robin Williams in 1984 (Santa Rosa, CA). I was very aware of who he was, having grown up watching Mork and Mindy and watched one of his standup specials a LOT of times.
I was wandering around the games case, fixated on said games and noticed a person out of the corner of my eye right before slamming into them. And it was HIM. I couldn’t say a word. And he looked as if he couldn’t figure out this weird nerd and just moved around me.
I still think back on that day frequently enough.

The logic of punishing our fellow victims of the system has always struck me as both misguided and cruel.
Thank you for pointing it out!

Because I’ve trained all of my cats to accept me carrying them around the house…

I imagine they’d rather go further back down the literacy tree to where only the priesthood and nobility could read.
Lucky us, they’re one in the same now!

Affinity is free as of a couple weeks ago. And there’s talk of a Linux native version being considered iirc.
Requires a free license, so the old adage about you being the product probably applies.

Scientific rigor in one aspect of life does not preclude magical thinking in another. Sadly.
Healthy skepticism is a lifestyle.
She’s always been a believer in magical nonsense. My dad is a hardcore Catholic… to the point where he had to make sure there was a church nearby when he want on vacations around the world, which they did quite frequently. My mother is an irreligious Jew who believes in ANY kind of woo based bullshit she stumbles across. Astrology, psychic healing, seeing auras, channeling. All of the major bullshit that came to prominence in the new age movement (thanks Ms Blavatsky).
As such, I believe in nothing of the metaphysical nor spiritual. It’s all copium against the glory of our universe that cares nothing for our existence.

Definitely strains of my stepdaughter and her son.
I don’t know if/where he is on the spectrum, though there’s definitely a dash of undiagnosed bipolar with a heavy dose of self medication now. But as a kid, his rage issues were attributed to a WIDE variety of causes:
- autism
- oppositional defiance disorder
- ADHD
- gluten allergy
- some sort her doctor ordered during her c-section
- etc
Ignoring that most of it stemmed from abandonment issues with her. She only paid attention when he had a meltdown, so he very quickly figured out that it was the surefire way to get something from her.
All so she could feel less guilty about being a miserable parent. Yay.

It certainly was.
Much worse is that she wasn’t just some dyed in the wool hippie, but a fairly well known microbiologist. So she had at least a passing acquaintance with the scientific method.
At least she got me vaccinated.

That’s my mother in a nutshell.
TBI when I was 7, surgery was scheduled to reduce swelling on my brain, and she instead opted to feed me smoothies of nothing but raw spinach and water. Also took me to some kind of new age healer.
So yeah, thanks mom.

What an incredibly stupid take by these jeenyuses.
Then again there’s precedence with a moron from Fox ‘News’ who prefers Trek to Wars since it’s ‘not woke’.
