Cranky, visually impaired civil servant. Pseudonymous coward. Former call-center crisis tank, current DEI hire and Monday-morning lunatic. Comics, games, antifascism, etc (he/him)
Also, separate from my earnest answer about what those terrible games were like, it really is fuckin hilarious and you can laugh along with me.

It's a fair question for people under 40, and also it's jaw-droppingly stupid. The text games that I experienced as a teen in the 90s basically boil down to "you did enough right choices to make Character X want you, here's 500 words about how hard she came."

Got a pile of pirated C64 games from a friend that included a strip poker game where I, a child who did not understand poker, never got to see boobs. Years later in high school, I found a pornographic Star Trek TNG text adventure which was the first time I had pretend sex in a game.

And on looking this up, this is probably the first time in the 21st century that I've heard the 4:45 radio edit rather than the full album version

Just saw the Peacemakers a couple weeks ago, heck of a live show even if "Green and Dumb" (my favorite) wasn't on the set list this trip.

Can I set it to automatically send all the pictures to various conservative hate groups' solicitation emails (like the one to get a professor on the TPUSA watchlist)?

southern suburbs are not new jersey suburbs. they are even more segregated and even more racist (and have never, ever voted for Democrats even in Obama's wins). but Nashville's burbs are the kind we need to make up ground in to absolutely cripple the Republican party

the tl;dr is

anti-abortion and right-wing funders, including some of the richest mf's on earth, are absolutely burning cash in US elections right now because even with gaming the system, they can't get the results they want
