I been revisiting Qbasic, but this website also has a bunch of old DoS games, including those which ran up into the Windows 98 era, such as Heroes of Might and Magic II and III or even Halflife deathmatch!

in my mind the game looked like Crysis levels of graphics, i know it didn't but i'm pretty sure it looked alright with a voodoo card or w/e at the time

unpopular opinion but im going to go out on a limb and say any positive effect a protest has ever had in history, is specious.

Have any of you actually seen a protest and then were like, damn you know what there are so many people upset, I will change my mind!

My argument is that protests are the bi-product of a societal change that's already happened, and votes that happen after those changes wouldn't be any different with or without the protest.

Protests are to make people feel good that they are not alone, that other people are aligned and think the same, not to change people's way of thinking. So if the metric of success of a protest is the change it effectuated then I would agree they are useless (why I never have or will participate in one). If the metric is how warm and fuzzy it makes you feel that your brain is tuned the same way as hundreds of other people than they are likely very effective.

I had an epiphany the other day that maybe my generation completely missed the mark on why churches and religions exist. I've come to the understanding it was never about believing the stories in the bible actually happened. The real value was always consistent community and habitual traditions. Which make people feel more alike than different. In other words it was a massive vehicle for positive mental health routines for past generations. But it was never packaged that way, it was too focused on the stories and the book which people buy into less and less as time and generations carry on.

Damn I haven't heard that but that makes sense.

Ive loved watching people who rebelled against christianity in the 70s and 80s immediately devote themselves to a new religion (climate change) that said that its jesus was going to come and kill them all around the same time the bibles jesus said it would.

thats why i call politics a religion.

Religion just meant government before we had a word for government.
