  • There was a brief moment where I thought video games had to program every possible combination of pixels so it could react appropriately to what I was doing at any given time in a game. I had no idea how things rendered. I didn’t know they were individual sprites that animated separately. Thought it was all just one big thing and they had to draw every single possibility with nothing dynamic going on.

    Then I played Wolfenstein 3D on PC and realized how impossible that would be in 3D. Funnily enough, those little pocket games they had in the 80s and 90s like Game & Watch kinda were doing exactly what I thought every game was doing, but they were much simpler games for a reason.










  • I want to share my experience as a disabled person, because I think it’s very easy to simply not notice our non-existance:

    I don’t exist anymore. I’m a hermit. It’s been years since I’ve done anything in public. I go to the rheumatologist, I go to a lab to get blood tests, and once a year I get an x-ray to make sure I don’t have TB. I don’t do anything else. There’s about a two week period where being outside isn’t some unbearably high or low temperature that exacerbates my condition.

    Please care about covid. Just, please. Do it for people like me if that helps you, but mostly do it for yourself. This virus can make you like me and it’s miserable (I was sick before Covid, but Covid is known to trigger autoimmune conditions which are the primary cause of my suffering).



  • Hey, since you already understand that the war on terror was a lie, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts after listening to Blowback Season 2 and Season 3. They’re about Cuba and Korea. I grew up believing they were no good and completely evil, but there is a verifiable truth that is propagandized against in the west. You don’t even have to use non-western sources to get to that truth, it’s just that if you don’t know you’ve been lied to, there’s no reason to dig in.

    It’s certainly not a single lie over the War on Terror that has led to our complete distrust of the American state.

    the West is a far better influence on the world and care-taker of its citizens than China is

    Simple statistics like literacy and life expectancy disagree with this assessment.

    And let’s not get started on the Russian state

    You won’t find much support for Russia on Hexbear. You’re mistaking our disdain for NATO as support for Russia. Russia is not the Soviet Union.
