There a sense of denial from people treating this as their biggest problem this week. Spending power is about to crater with decades of economic development upended. We’re the verge of either truly reactionary or revolutionary conditions. It’s probably going to the former of course because people are still livid about consumer issues and see so much wall steet bets shit about shorting Nintendo like it even matters.

Gaming is practically cheap or free too. There are computers everywhere and abandonware, emulators/roms, piracy or magic like openttd or openmw.
Communism isn’t mere treats. We may not even be able to promise people much like that anyway.
Joke is on you. I am buying a ColecoVision 2 and building a library of non woke C.E.Ds.
Seriously socialism will look like a technological renaissance just from a some actual investment.
Would love to have the free time to write weird games with nim. Advanced meta programming for all kinds of experiments. Push old hardware to its limit while being portable.
I crave weird experiments like Seaman on the Dreamcast.
I also regret that I live on this side on the revolution. That I would have to live and most probably die through the revolution I am failing everyday to help organise.
Despite all this "learn to code" rhetoric my whole adult life, it feels like a desert of actual software. So much of society still perilously runs on software relics that only proliferated because it was dangerously easily to make them in access and VB6. Games are just asset flips or repackaged nostalgia. The latter will lead to a crack down on game emulators and ROMs, the open distribution of which are hiding the obscurity of people's lack of curiosity.
Good. Let their own cinema thrive.
