Hey Bluesky Gamers, you wanna shoot some Nazis? 👀 Of course you do! And what better way to do exactly that than with the original Wolfenstein 3D that turns 34 years old TODAY! Not to mention, you get to kill Hitler in a mech suit... C'mon Happy Birthday to Wolfenstein 3D!

Class in the US is entirely a matter of aesthetics now. Rich suburban kids are “country”. Beard Dudes who look like they love IPAs are “working class.” Teachers who make $32,000 a year but have to dress up sort of nice in JCPenney clothes are “elites“. None of these words mean anything anymore.

Some thoughts: 1) The CD-ROM Classics include Privateer and Wing Commander II. 2) Wing Commander IV! 3) I owned a copy of Space Bucks. I wanted to like it, but it was a poorly implemented game. Weirdly, I still think about it sometimes, and wish someone would take a crack at doing it right.

I'm more of a fan of the earlier Wing Commander games, but this one came with one of the best world building trinkets - a map of the Wing Commander universe that incorporated the systems from nearly every previous game and spinoff. I no longer have the game box, but I still have the map.

Buckle-up; there's just 58% remaining until Planetfall in 2100AD. When storytelling and planetary 4X combined in 1998, evoking the philosophical science-fiction novels of the 60s and 70s and exploring the kinds of future societies we might build. 📺: Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, Firaxis, 1998 (PC)
A sceenshot of original 1.0 Alpha Centauri being installed in Window 98, with stills of a render of the alien world colony pods are descending to from orbit that changes as the game is installed.

Someone should invent a social network that is down 95% of the time, and is only up at random, unpredictable times. Like some kind of comet with an irregular, eccentric orbit and everyone rushes to get their posts up while it lights up the night sky

It's not that I don't appreciate seeing history. I do. It's just that the last two years have made me bitter and angry, and I wonder how we justify spending money on moon missions after slashing things like Medicaid and food assistance. All to pay for tax cuts.

If you read through gaming magazines you can pinpoint the exact time (mid 1995) that everyone went from doing their own print stuff to hiring ad agencies. And you can see what a dumb idea that was!

*Sighs* I'm old enough to remember when Nazi killing games weren't controversial.
A screenshot from Wolfenstein 3D (1992). A hand is holding a pistol and facing two WW2 era Nazis in brown uniforms. A third Nazi lies dead in a pool of blood. An angry looking brown dog is jumping toward the player.
