  Nah, I’m a long-standing pc gamer and I’m so tired of people fighting this stupid fight. If console people can’t afford a pc and want to game on the couch, that’s great. I just happen to be able to afford the fucked up prices nowadays and want to game at a desk with a mouse and keyboard and run a browser and stuff at the same time or whatever. It really doesn’t matter anymore because nobody is gonna convince anybody else of anything and all you’re doing is being an asshole to somebody. Wanna actually improve things? Stop making the world worse.

  For the past three, maybe 5 or 6 years. But for at least the entirety of 2025.

  I don’t want to feel this way. I do everything I can to not feel this way. But, there’s an elephant of a dark cloud hovering overhead that no matter how much I try to bounce, still brings me back.

  It’s fascism.

  It makes me think about death and what it’s like to not exist. I can’t stand the thought of never existing again. Obviously, I won’t have the ability to care once I die. But it just seems like there should be something I can do to not or to prolong it at least until I’ve achieved my goals. I know that’s unrealistic and not how it works, but that’s so insanely frustrating. That, one day, this very thing that I’m doing right now, thinking, imagining, writing… Will cease. Me, as it were, just, won’t. My thoughts, my feelings, my memories, my hopes, my passions, my perspectives, my ideas, my collections, my efforts. Wiped, never to be seen again.

  And then if you can, imagine that, but for everybody that exists right now. They will all die, sooner or later. There’s so much loss. So much destruction of consciousness and creativity.

  I know this is probably different for people who have or will have children. But I don’t and probably won’t, and so my perspective is somewhat more finite. My legacy can’t be fulfilled or sated by such an easy route, so my thoughts are driven to my own goals and limits.

  An ex of mine and I were talking about this, and he half jokingly said that he will never die and “he” extended far past his body, meaning that his influence and values and things that he consider part of him live longer than his body. Men can be so goddamned irritating sometimes. Because, sure, that’s definitely a valid way to look at it, especially when you’re as self centered and full of yourself as him. But, when it comes down to it, I only see that as a way to cope with one’s own mortality.

  Maybe he’s right, though. But maybe, I hate the idea of my awareness and consciousness suddenly not existing. I always thought there’d be more than enough time…

  I’m too young to be worrying about this stuff. I just wanna live my life and go out into the rain and be successful and travel and live in a polycule and invent stuff and make music and go hiking and make food have a career and a family and friends and neat hobbies and SLOWLY get older. NOT deal with fascism.

  Why did it have to be fascism?

  Because total submission is hot.

  Because being wanted so much that somebody is willing to throw away their common ethical code is hot.

  Because rough sex is hot.

  Because doing these things in a safe space with somebody you actually fully trust is really hot.

  M-disc, I presume?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I used to be with it"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ngl, i didn’t know it was concentric circles. I always thought it was a spiral like a vinyl record.

  Also the encode is pretty neat, I didn’t know that.

  I DID know about RWs being rewritable, and you could sort of brute force some supposedly single write discs.

  To be clear, I wrote that to be as simple as possible like if a person read it who really didn’t have any idea, they could have a relatively quick understanding in plain terms. Guess even I learned something today!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I used to be with it"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Cds are digital data storage discs that are etched in microscopic 1’s and 0’s in a microscopic spiral with a laser, and then later read back with lasers. You can only write them once but you can read them a million times. So grammatically, in the same way you “nuke” food in a microwave, you “burn” a cd in a cd drive that is capable of writing cds.

  Maybe someday we can have cheap (cheaper than other storage media per gb), durable (last at least my lifetime), terabyte, fast read optical media. I would love to permanently store lots of stuff that doesn’t ever need to be rewritten.

  I wonder what aspects of education fight the tendency, like if there end up being any things that specifically help more than others, or if it’s more like an overall-function thing. Or maybe humility??

  Or what if it’s just an extremely commonly learned behavior that most people just have to unlearn

  Going off their other comments, the furry/tech population here, and their mention of specific bars, Seattle. Don’t worry though, I’m in the same area/culture and still find it kinda weird to throw out a location like that.

  To be fair to them, though, the op post does reek of capitol hill furries and techno queers being commonplace and pleasantly weird. So common, that even outside of that city, there are occasional furry bars and coffee shops and stuff. It’s actually really nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I truly hate to even consider this, but indie games have already started to turn, and will start to go more towards the same issues. What valve did for gaming and capitalism in 2004, they need to undo or come up with a new solution or something, or maybe somebody else. I’m not sure if communism or anarchy or a new capitalism or a creative solution that fixes everything and makes everybody happy and is ethically sound and sustainable. But the amount of AI slop and desperation that current capitalism is fucking everybody with is only going to get worse. The “indie games are our salvation, our guiding light” was ten years ago, and AI is here to stay, for whatever effects and changes it brings, because it’s affecting literally all aspects of our lives because we live in a capitalistic society where tech and information is utilized by and affects the entire planet and every single human being, plant, and animal.
