  • I got a game where you play as a piece of bread. I think it was called Toast?

    Yeah, that didn't last too long as an installed game.

  • Yeah, where the fuck would anyone get the impression that guy had a "good life"?

  • Just list them on Craigslist as mobile homes for $1000/m.

  • Political consciousness has eroded. The poor root for their capitalist billionaire oppressors. They no longer care to have the pride to fight for themselves.

  • Fair enough and thanks for answering. I know that can happen sometimes but, honestly, most people are just struggling. They're not all out to get you.

  • Genuinely wondering, what does that even mean? How do you think a person who is homeless or poor would "take advantage" of $5 or food you give them?

  • I didn't have any performance problems.

  • Not even close to the 9-hour workweek.

    Hence that remarkable phenomenon in the history of Modern Industry, that machinery sweeps away every moral and natural restriction on the length of the working-day. Hence, too, the economic paradox, that the most powerful instrument for shortening labour-time, becomes the most unfailing means for placing every moment of the labourer’s time and that of his family, at the disposal of the capitalist for the purpose of expanding the value of his capital. “If,” dreamed Aristotle, the greatest thinker of antiquity, “if every tool, when summoned, or even of its own accord, could do the work that befits it, just as the creations of Daedalus moved of themselves, or the tripods of Hephraestos went of their own accord to their sacred work, if the weavers’ shuttles were to weave of themselves, then there would be no need either of apprentices for the master workers, or of slaves for the lords.” And Antipatros, a Greek poet of the time of Cicero, hailed the invention of the water-wheel for grinding corn, an invention that is the elementary form of all machinery, as the giver of freedom to female slaves, and the bringer back of the golden age. Oh! those heathens! They understood, as the learned Bastiat, and before him the still wiser MacCulloch have discovered, nothing of Political Economy and Christianity. They did not, for example, comprehend that machinery is the surest means of lengthening the working-day.

    , Das Kapital.

  • Were you able to find any more information on this?

    Coincidentally trying to do this as well. I'm not sure if it's possible to play HL mods without Steam anymore.

  • I also just want to say that this game was actually very popular.

    And I loved it! I was recently thinking of getting it to work on Linux to play again. It's a monumental classic.
