Intro to Amiga game Miami Chase... This does a good job describing our current political situation. Except instead of "you" the single vigilante driver it's every high school bully... And instead of 8 notorious criminals it's any brown person or child. Life imitates art. #amiga #retrogaming #iceout

Games really need a "replay tutorial" option because I often take like 2-year breaks between playing a game and then I am too deep and have no idea how to play. Currently my experience with AC Odyssey...

We did it! “The Nerd Reich” is a New York Times Instant Bestseller! My book debuts at #3 on the non-fiction list. Thanks to all who pre-ordered /bought the book—or requested it at the public library or promoted it on social. Without you, I’m just an unemployed guy with a laptop. But with you…

Hey @retrogamermag.bsky.social how do authors choose what game to write about? How much of it is assigned by leadership or editors and how often can an author just do what they want? Is it a little of both?

Makes me think of social deduction board games in which some people are "the bad guys" and they only play by the rules in so much as it benefits them. I have learned a lot about political posturing through these games... The secret is to just accept everything as disingenuous. Some people don't...

@aptshadow.bsky.social Just finished Children of Strife and I can't say enough good things about this entire series. It introduced so many interesting ideas into my head, least of which is pondering how other space-faring species would function. So much fun.

A 32-year-old Democratic socialist who once said "Fuck Kamala Harris" has just beat the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — who was backed by the entire party establishment and millions of dollars. There is not even a doubt. The Democratic Tea Party is here.

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

When I was young veganism was utterly hegemonic in activist spaces / the radical left. Anarchism was practically *synonymous* with the animal liberation movement. To be a leftist was either to be vegan like a normal person, or to be embarrassed and secretive about your animal product consumption.
