Well, I graduated A school in Pensacola. Life’s gotten easier in some ways, harder in others. I look forward to this particular class ending soon so I can move on to preparation for the next duty station and self-care instead of repetitive daily crunch time away from loved ones.
i want to know what bears think sometimes
A lot has happened in the past while
Left old job, joined the armed forces, quickly fell for two women and was emotionally abused to the point where I now cry daily when the last time I opened up similarly by itself was years ago with another several years before it
But, jobs looking up, mostly, may be traveling soon, and may finally be able to afford to get on my own two feet in life for once. I miss my family but hopefully by this time next week I'll have seen both sides for the first time since joining over 6 months ago. It's not all bad.
The most important FCC vote of our lifetime is about to happen, but Congress is trying to kill net neutrality. Help us change history.
This rendition of the track "Metal Squad" from the game Thunder Force IV (known as Lightening Force in the US for whatever reason) is amazing. As far as faithful VGM covers go, it's high on my list, accurately mimicking the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis' Yamaha 2612 sound chip's sound and eccentricities while also being a very atmospheric and well-rounded adaptation of the original composition. It's got a lot of clipping in the rhythm guitar track, which may divide opinions, but that's part of what I find so authentic about it.
The Winds of Change have picked up a bit
Man, talk about a bizarre and tragic week for gaming. Monty Oum passed away, Andrew Yoon passed away, Joystiq's on its way out, Sony Online Entertainment's been sold off...
I think I'll just say that for all those leaving us, may you rest in peace. You will be missed, and the industry will be forever changed without you.
The FCC will reportedly ban internet ‘slow lanes’

Daniel Hale Williams was a black man who performed the first successful open heart surgery, without anesthetic, antibiotics, and using only a scalpel. he also opened the first non-segregated hospital in America and also discovered that germs caused infection
happy black history month and god bless
'AOL is likely to shutter' Joystiq, reports Recode. Hey, wait a minute... that's us! Well, we may as well handle this the same way we've been covering the
'Madden'-simulated Super Bowl match predicted the winner… and the exact score
My thoughts on Always-Online DRM
If ever there were a popularized feature in gaming I wish I could kill, it would be online DRM.
I can live with having to, a decade from now, search the internet for weeks to find disparate parts to a game which is no longer sellable, and no longer easy to find, because it never physically existed. (That is, if I had a choice between that and online DRM.)
I can even live with developers trying to boost their margins with microtransactions as long as they're not made mandatory.
What I cannot live with are games designed in such a way as to never be resurrected after support for them is dropped. There are certain games designed which will inevitably encounter a similar death -- MMOs and online-multiplayer-only games being the main culprits.
But for singleplayer or multi-modal experiences, I'm not sure history will look kindly on what the last generation has done to game collectors, game preservation or game playability and longevity.
Gaming as a service is thus: a temporary entertainment stopgap, never to be revisited after the winds change. What you would have is effectively a memory which you can never look back on yourself years from now. All flashbacks would have to be pre-recorded for future consumers; one could never go back and legally see what once was.
The saying "Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" can probably be shoehorned in here as a grave warning to those who cannot reference the past to experience it and learn from it years from now.
One cannot avoid this with online-only DRM without asking gifted people to bring the code to its knees at some point in order to play it after it leaves our stores. I don't want that to ever be the norm in this industry. Sadly, that is increasingly becoming the case for a number of good, and bad, reasons.
As a footnote: even the FASHION industry, designed to be termporal, will allow you to wear the same clothes after they go out of style.
I will never understand how in a broad sense an art/entertainment medium like video games can be in some cases designed, and sold as, a more temporary product than fashionable clothing, even if both are art.
y’all are so fast with this shit haha

There's hidden treasure inside every videogame if you know how to look for it. It's not mineral and it certainly isn't economic. Yet, nearly every virtual world has it locked away, forbidden, never to be seen. What am I on about? It's a comfortable freefall into nothingness. The serendipitous void at the edge of the world ...
