  • The character “Kelly” isn’t explicitly right wing, instead he’s supposed to be as wrong as possible. As an example rather than “Pro-choice” or “Pro-life” Kelly is “Pro-abortion”, because he hates children and thinks they should be aborted before they have a chance to destroy their parents lives. Or the comic where Kelly opposed drug legalization… because police dramas wouldn’t have anything write about.

    Oddly, Kelly’s “wrong as possible” stance does seem to frequently align with right wing politics, for some reason.



  • I’m holding off on buying this until I clear some stuff in my backlog (and hopefully getting the game at a deeper discount).

    However from the videos I’ve watched my only criticism is that some of the games look rather complex and would benefit from supplying more information than a small blurb and a controls page. I wish UFO 50 had taken a page from Retro Game Challenge and had some in-universe game manuals and magazines. Still, since I’m planning on buying it at some point obviously not a deal breaker.



  • I bought one of those vegan Spam-a-likes and I have to say I really didn’t like it.

    I my thought process was “Spam’s so heavily processed, how much worse could it be if no meat were involved?” the answer turned out to be “A lot.” I don’t know how to describe it. It’s like… you know how there are all beef hot dogs, but they don’t taste anything like beef? It was kinda that but with Spam… but Spam isn’t very meat like to begin with.

    All that being said, after the plant based Spam sat in my fridge until it started to get fuzzy, I threw it out for the stray cats in my neighborhood. Despite the fact I found it to be quite unappealing, starving alley cats found it to be meat like enough to eat it… which I guess is a mark in it’s favor?

    Honestly, I really hate glowing keyboards I go out of my way to avoid them. Same with fans and cases with a LED lightshow built in.

    The problem is that it’s so hard to find components that constantly don’t glow all the time. Even my computer has a LED fan in it, because it was all I could find for cheap. Fortunately it’s a old “metal box” type case so except for a vent on the side the glow is almost unnoticeable… but occasionally when the rooms dark I’ll see the slight glow seeping out and get annoyed all over again that a tiny fraction of the power my PC is using is for lighting up a closed box.
