Are explicitly educational games still as much a thing as they were when I was a kid?
I imagine the market has moved to phone apps nowadays.
Oh god this is so sad
Querry and I were talking about parenting earlier today, and basically in agreement that phones are the devil's... uh... communication devices... and how studies consistently show that even having them is terrible.
fittingly, one of the defining games from my childhood was--in fact--the Mother of All Games
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Gifv porn is a perfect encapsulation of the modern internet
Why endure the agony of a whole video or the monotony of a still image when you can just browse for the exact moment that caters directly to your arousal preferences and just hammer that stimulus on a loop

I definitely considered staying on a tugboat that was on airbnb for a trip out to pax west. I mean it's not like anybody else is showering either so nobody would notice.
Oh god, some more information about that squicky Silicon Valley party:
This party she describes, with the cuddle puddle and the molly and the stroking, wasn’t just some random rich dude’s house. This was a top-tier VC firm’s official party.
It was:
run by the VC firm
organized by firm staff
the official afterparty of their big annual summit
at a general partner’s house
attended by (at least 2) other general partners
attended by firm staff
serviced by shuttles bringing attendees from the summit to the party
attended by portfolio founders, CEOs, and executives
Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Well that's fucking gross as hell and totally forcing female attendees to fuck people to maintain their jobs/status. How awesome.
Yeah
That pretty much clears that whole thing up for me.

When you had to put a floppy in a drive and flip a latch and load the game and play for an hour to catch a VGA drawing of Carmen Sandiego glancing back over her shoulder at you
Back then ladies and gentlemen had manners and there was a thing called romance instead of spending bitcoins on GIFV porn or whatever is hip now

NEW YORK — This week’s International Conference on Cyber Security, hosted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Fordham University, attracted high-level government officials to discuss trends in cyber crime, including FBI director Christopher Wray. But one FBI staffer stole the spotlight with her immaculate yellow coat and wet nose.
Harley, a two-year-old Labrador Retriever, works with the FBI’s New York outpost and the Westchester County Police Department. She finds flash drives, hard drives, SIM cards and other storage devices in criminal cases where electronic evidence is sought.
“She is a regular co-worker to all in the office and she gets a lot of visitors,” said Detective Brett Hochron at the Westchester County Police Department.
Attendees of the conference swooned over Harley, who was there to show how canines can help law enforcement officials in criminal cases. She practiced sniffing for electronics in the staged environment, Mr. Hochron said.
Harley joined the FBI last August after graduating from the Connecticut State Police K9 Academy, he said, adding that she is the only electronic storage device detection dog in the state of New York. “She loves work,” he said. With rising cybercrime, she’ll get a lot of it.
Fuck our police-industrial system.
This would be an interesting thread but is a singularly bad random drive by.

In the sense that a point is like a line.
So I got a taste, one might say, and then final fantasy was the line. And now I'm a junky for video games.
This would be an interesting thread but is a singularly bad random drive by.
This brings back memories.
