Yep, thought this was a bit account. What a fucking stupid world. Things really have gotten so much worse.

Yeah I think the best way to play Trackmania is just to get an old laptop/desktop. It's such low software requirements you could probably get one for £40

Revolt is also a classic yeah, I remember lots of RC car type games around that time. There was a great one the Lego technic racers webpage of all places.

Morrowind android port

no but on a real there's a lot of android ports of old games that aren't addictive, and all you have to do usually is click install on an apk file.

Here's one that requires a bit more setup than that if you're techy - https://www.reddit.com/r/TrackMania/s/QDNYzg499o

If that seems too tricky, I still highly recommend the original Trackmania Forever game if you've got ANY laptop. Super simple arcadey racing game - completely free - smooth as butter, lots of replayability, runs on anything, you can play against each other, has a track creator mode that's easy to use, customisable cars - and on, and on. I used to play it when I was about 8-9 years old, then recently when I was babysitting I taught my cousin to play it - he was only 6 years old and loved it. Absolutely brilliant - I used to spend hours playing against my dad back in the day.

To be fair, you cant fully divorce it from imperialism. It was an ex Marxist and ex follower of Lumumba, vs Mobutu, a CIA installed leader who started out as a comprador but eventually became a nuisance for them.

I don't think any of them ever looked into it that much in the first place, same for Ughyurs, and as time goes by they still won't. It's not a large enough issue to warrant an Iraq-esque reversal. Ukraine is a proxy war, Ughyurs are just a small footnote in American propaganda against China.

When it all blows over and we are all proven right, they won't even care enough to discuss it. They'll look at you like you're being a weirdo for even bringing it up, and then they'll say hey, I don't know the details, I'm sure both sides did bad things, but that was the past. Let's just move on!

How often do all the cold war proxy wars across Africa and Latin America reach mainstream discourse these days? Pretty much never. You get IRAN contra sometimes, and Cuba - because their cold war is still ongoing.

Hey all, been wanting to get into self hosting for a while. I won't be doing a whole lot - probably just a Plex server and photo/video archives.

Maybe a personal assistant if I get really bored, lol.

At work, I've got a selected of taking either:

  • HP Prodesk 400 G4 - i5 7th Gen

OR

  • Dell Optiplex 7020
  • Dell Optiplex 3010
  • Dell Optiplex 3040 All Intel i5

Let me know if they're all shit too, lol.

Many thanks

The comments are absolutely mauling them

If you don't have Instagram, check the comments on this post, for a kindly Hexbear has rehosted the video there.

 
 

holy mackerel

in all fairness BLM being co opted by white liberals has outed a lot of old school rappers as total libs too

 

Obscenities were apparently hurled as Mr Bessent ridiculed Doge’s work and Mr Musk dismissed the Treasury secretary as a “Soros agent”.

Idk if this is the right comm but whatever, this should be stickied

Internet archive taking a lot of fire from all over at the moment, this one's by corporate record labels.

I know petitions dont do much, but there's not a lot else that we can do for them other than donate, so come and sign the petition:

I can't stress how valuable Internet Archive and their magical Wayback Machine are.

Ok, it was yesterday... 25 January 1995:

Manchester United footballing legend Eric Cantona kung fu kicked a fascist football hooligan, Matthew Simmons, during a match against Crystal Palace. Simmons, who attended far-right National Front and British National Party rallies and has a raft of violent convictions including attacking a football coach who called him "Nazi scum", allegedly heckled Cantona as a "foreigner".

Cantona's maternal grandfather was from Barcelona, and fought against the forces of fascist general Francisco Franco during the Spanish civil war, before being forced to flee to France after the nationalist victory.

Years later appearing on the BBC, Cantona was asked what the highlight of his career was. He replied "When I did the kung fu kick on the hooligan... I think maybe it's like a dream for some, you know sometimes to kick these kind of people. So I did it for them. So they are happy."

At the press conference afterwards, he cryptically said:

"When the seagulls follow the trawler, it is because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea."

 

'deadliest massacre of Jewish people since the holocaust...', 'brutally ripped', 'murdered by Hamas'

Vs

Palestinians 'lost their lives'... No mention of Israel's role.

Fucking egregious. I guess you can't say 'deadliest massacre of Muslims since... Afghanistan... or Iraq... or the Gulf War... or Palestine any year since it's inception.
