You messed up the song bro. I agree with you but we were singing!

It’s funny. I got an ad for his campaign yesterday about how he won’t force us to wear masks.

Like, bro. It’s 2024. I see like 1 mask a month at this point.

I am a worm speaking through my host right now and I’ll tell ya buddy. This ain’t one of ours talking.

I’m a tapeworm though, maybe worms that don’t have to work so hard to get to the brain and control the host are trying to find reasons to get a bunch of humans in close proximity together under conditions that make it easy for them to spread.

Where only some folks is free

And I won’t forget the men in blue

Who shoot minorities

I’d be dead in Va if I were making 7.25

Oh I definitely don’t think that. Dude is clearly a moron, it just happened that way.

I don’t know if he’s a moron or not really, if he just got lucky being born into money or whatever. I know he has some moron takes though, like nonstop.

Been saying 5ever since I was about 5. That was 5ever ago and I thought I was a clever boy.

Me too. I personally think it was brilliant.

That bit you said about realizing his PR mistake, I’ve got an interesting bit on that.

I have a friend who is pretty conservative, we live in one of the most conservative areas in the US (Trump got close to 90% of the vote here). He went all in on Tesla stocks early on and then later he bought two of the Model S. One for him, one for his wife. Everywhere he went he had to defend that decision. “Huht huht, Jim’s done turned into a socialist and got himself a liberal car!” Dumb shit like that. For years the car was so rare around here that he got attention like he was cruising around in an old Model T Ford, only it was always negative attention.

His was the only Tesla I ever seen in person for years.

After Musk made his personality very public though, I see them everywhere. I’m in rural VA. These people have to charge them at home. I’ve never seen a charge station anywhere. He no longer gets attention for his car. I pass about 5 of them on the way to work every day.

I know this information is mostly useless, but maybe his batshit insane interactions with the public have actually been good for electric cars, as silly as that might sound. To a lot of people out here in redneck land, the electric car is no longer a California pussy liberal car if it’s a Tesla. It’s a status symbol. “Look at me fellers, I’m doing putty good fer myself!”

That’s why I buy 5.

He not see? Why ain’t he buy a cybernetic eye company and say he invented it?

I don’t know how you missed it. After the debate I was eager to see him. “Please don’t be senile. Please don’t be senile!”

Oh my god, if we think Obama sent them into a fury. Buckle up folks.

I voted for President Not Trump twice, I’m very much motivated to vote for President Not Trump a third time.

I personally just said last week that I believed only Biden was capable of beating Trump, so I’m feeling pretty sick right now. God, I hope I’m wrong.

We haaaaaavvvvvve to see this example and set a damn age limit for people to hold such high positions in our country. Old dude may have very well just sent us down an irreversible and utterly destructive path by seeking the office in the first place.

I know Bernie Sanders is old too, but damn I wish he had won the nomination. We wouldn’t be in this crisis right now. Still though, it’s a gamble electing people who are already waist deep in their grave.

Man

What a strange and historic month this has been. We’re all living in a very big moment in history right now, just, all the way around.

Just finished the movie. I fucking loved it. Thank you!

I mean, you do you. I personally love video games and I’ve loved them all of my life. It’s something I can do with my kids that allows us to connect. I didn’t grow up in a world with access to anything else. There’s no beach trip in a world where your shoes have holes in them and you’re living on brown beans. My mom always found a way to scrounge up an old video game console for us and we’d borrow games from friends who had it better or had stopped playing their older games. Hell, when we stayed in a women’s shelter once for weeks, all the kids who were stuck there got by on the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo in the tv room. We were able to bond and make friends in that horrible place with that shared horrible experience because of video games.

I had adventures that wouldn’t have been available to me without video games. I had fun that wouldn’t have been available to me without video games. It’s hard for me to understand why you feel the way you do, but I guess we’ve had very different experiences and you feel the same way on the opposite side of it.

My grandmother just passed away, and when I stood there at her casket I remembered very fondly sitting in the floor with her and beating all of the Donkey Kong Country games. She wasn’t physically able to do much and video games brought us together and made us connect and enjoy life together. I remember the weeks leading up to Christmas in 1998 when my mother and I would sneak and open the only present I had under the tree (Zelda, Ocarina of Time) when my dad would go to sleep.

I’m happy that what you do with your kid makes you happy. I don’t understand why you’ve had such an extreme reaction to what we do though when it really doesn’t matter. People like what they like.

Part of me agrees and part of me doesn’t.

I don’t know a kid who doesn’t have at least a Quest 2. I have four brother in laws aged 11-16 and every time I go over there at least two of them are in the basement rocking the headset. My neighbor is on his every day. My daughter has the Quest 2, full body trackers, and a beefy gaming PC almost exclusively dedicated to VR. The kids are all in, seriously.

I’m 38. I have a Quest 2 but I also have two toddlers and an infant (in a couple weeks anyway). I haven’t turned my Quest on in about a year. I got pretty heavy into Pavlov for a while, but here’s where the failure comes in for VR being mainstream and widely adopted. I can’t play and watch my children. I have to ask my wife to take on all of the responsibility just so I can play, and I don’t feel good about that so I just don’t play.

It isn’t the same as something like a Steam Deck. I can put it down and get back into it easily while also keeping an eye on the world around me. I can put my kids on my lap and they can watch me play if they want to. You just can’t do that in VR. It completely disengages you from your surroundings. It isn’t easy to jump in and out of it because you have to be trapped to a dedicated space with your eyes turned off to the world.

I love VR, but not enough to pull myself entirely out of my life to play. I think most people face that issue.

It’s a nonissue when you’re a teenager on summer break with no responsibilities. There’s just no room in a busy life for VR.

I’d like to see it succeed. I’d like to see it come to a point where you can somehow keep your real space visible, if only on a monitor in the corner of a high res display. I love it, I just can’t use it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho! Camachomania!!!

I was docking the Steam Deck and playing GO, but 2 doesn’t really run that well on there.

I still play the hell out of Source though. My brother and I did nothing else one summer growing up. I spent all of my 20s playing CS:Source and WoW.

I wish I had time for either these days.
