There’s a lot of tragedy in that photo. The massive ecological waste of suburban McMansions and luxury trucks, the inequality of these bloated two-garage monstrosities while people are forced to sleep on the street, the genocide of the indigenous people who used to inhabit this land, the brutal and blood-soaked American state that rules it, etc etc etc.

Then prepare to be surprised when you play it.

It runs fine under emulation, but it’s the worst game in the series by a very wide margin.

The amount of British monarchs is also weird. Why on Earth is Charles II on this list?

I expect a shitty chain’s salsa to usually be chopped onions floating in tomato water.

About 24 years ago most of these countries didn’t follow the US to Iraq either. The big difference is the UK and Australia not going.

Bibliophile is what book lovers call themselves. I’m not sure about painting, but it’s probably also something in Latin or Greek.

I have to wonder why hydro is always left out of the solar+wind clean energy statistics. Is it just because it’s old tech?

No, when things are in high demand in the 2020s that means the just-in-time supply chain immediately fucking breaks and nobody gets anything except for scalpers who buy up the meagre supply and re-list it for five times the price.

No, the physical artefacts like this one that got all slashed up are all that will remain after Google/Meta/etc turn off their servers once the old content becomes unprofitable. Future historians will indeed call the early 21st century a dark age, because while books, sculptures, and paintings can last a thousand years, digital media in “the cloud” fucking won’t.

It’s quite difficult and/or very expensive to collect that data since these platforms deleted their open APIs. As far as most researchers are concerned this information is now basically unknowable.

“Fuck it we ball”? I don’t know that one either. Are we doing something to a ball or becoming a ball? Oh, or maybe we are going to a ball, like Cinderella?
