Monday morning vintage video games

by | Dec 9, 2024 | Mondays | 2 comments

Good heavens, what is that awful stench? Oh, right – it’s MONDAY. At least it stopped bloody RAINING, where I am. Other than that, though, it is (or was) still a very dreary and depressing kind of day, especially after the downright crazy events over the weekend.

The whole Syrian fustercluck is the sort of thing that makes one want to escape into another world. Fortunately, that is why we have the Great Mondaydact Browser Bulldozer, to make such things possible.

So let’s kick off the festivities, with some appreciation and love for legendary old-school video games, courtesy of Modern Vintage Gamer:


The Mighty God-Emperor

His Most Illustrious, Noble, August, Benevolent, and Legendary Celestial Majesty, the God-Emperor of Mankind, Donaldus Triumphus Magnus Astra, the First of His Name, the Lion of Midnight, may the Lord bless him and preserve him, sat down to talk to a presstitute about his plans for peace, and other things:

The signs coming from Ornj Boi look good, I must admit. While he plainly has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE about the true situation in the 404 War – he claims, preposterously, that the Russians have lost 600K dead and wounded, while the Ukies have lost 400K – and still insists on a “ceasefire” along the current lines of engagement, his basic instincts are correct. The war MUST end with a negotiated settlement, and the way to do that, is to start cutting off aid to Bellendsky the Narcofuehrer.

The problem is that Ornj Boi thinks he is a master negotiator, based on his record of business deals. If he thinks he can get away with acting like that against a master strategist like The Putin, he is going to be in for a huge shock. International diplomacy DOES NOT work the same way as a business deal does.

Moreover, the Neo-Tsar has lost all trust in and patience with Amerikhastan – and rightly so. The FUSA cannot be trusted to keep ANY deal. America’s record of betraying its allies, tearing up treaties, going back on its word, and underhanded dealings – especially with respect to Russia – is probably the worst of any country on Earth.

Anyone who trusts the Americans to keep their word, particularly given the way the Derp State constantly undermines and undercuts the stated policies of pro-American politicians (like Trump), is a fool.

The Putin is most decidedly not a fool. Which makes him very unlikely to trust anything The Donald says.


Dawn of Battle

The Male Brain has plenty to keep us busy today. We start with one from Moon about the soaring cost of living in Canuckistan:

Not to be all dark about it, but maybe that is part of the reason why “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID) programme is so popular…

Let us see whether this actually happens. The issues with thorium reactors are not that easy to overcome.


Death Smiles At Us All…


Poli-Ticking Off

Grandpa Grumpuss grumps, grumpily, about how the FUSA has comprehensively LOST the strategic arms race:

Burn Paedowood to the Ground

Midnight’s Edge is not impressed by the new LHURRD O’ DEM RANGZ!!! animated show, which looks TERRIBLE, frankly:


Gary from Nerdrotic does NOT have high hopes for Blacktain America – Wakanda 4Eva:


The Critical Drinker cannot not quite believe what he is seeing in the Snow White trailer:

I watched it shortly after he dissected that horror. And I could not stop laughing when I saw the dislike-to-like ratio. If you have that “Return YouTube Dislike” plugin thingy in your browser, you will see that the trailer itself has some 700K DISLIKES – to barely 27K likes.

To the Devil Mouse’s credit, they did leave the comments section open – and they are getting absolutely DESTROYED in it.


Dave Cullen is not even SLIGHTLY interested in the possibility of yet another Star Wrecked prequel:


Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is something you have to see to believe, from Veritasium:


Your long read of the week is an anti-globalist manifesto, written by several people who appear to be Germans, based on their names, and it makes for some interesting reading:

1. To begin with, one should try to pay with real money whenever possible and avoid using bank and credit cards. When shopping, always read the labels and consistently avoid buying anything produced by any of the WEF’s “business partners.” Remember that the money you spend will be used to cause harm to you and your loved ones. (See the list below).

2. Register all unforeseen extra costs you are forced to make for the sake of the European “Green New Deal,” like parking your car far from where you need to be in the inner city for getting services (dentist, barber, etc) or doing shopping (organic foods, e.g.). Such costs should be subtractable from your taxes.

3. When ordered to install expensive equipment (such as a heat pump) in your home to avoid “global warming,” demand that the authority or organization giving you the notice explain to you in all scientific detail what effect your expenses will have on the climate. Do so in a real letter (written or printed on paper and duly signed) to the director or CEO. Of course, they cannot answer your question, which in turn gives you the right to refuse to install the required equipment. (You are told to spend money for frivolous reasons).

4. When ordered or pressured to take a vaccination, have the authority that orders you to do so sign a written statement that they are assuming responsibility for any and all possible negative side effects. If they refuse, denounce them to the police for an attempt to cause severe bodily harm or to commit manslaughter.

5. At school or work, when asked to tell as what you identify and how you wish to be addressed, tell them you identify for instance as Winston Churchill or King Louis XIV and want to be addressed as “Your Excellency” or “Your Majesty.” If this treatment is refused, file a complaint for “hate speech.”

6. Since you are continuously being filmed in the public space and since your emails and text messages are recorded and checked, you are entitled to receive copyright payments. These might be subtracted from taxes. After all, everything the regime itself does is expressed in a money equivalent and that rule applies to the average citizen as well.

7. More and more city governments decide to become “zero-emission-zones,” prohibiting access to non-electric vehicles. If you live in such a city: move out and go live somewhere else. If you don’t live there, just never visit such cities ever again.

8. Whenever you can, confront the state and corporate media with their reporting on issues where their lies are evident, such as their propaganda for “safe and effective vaccines.” Use all available channels (email, telephone, social media, letters, ombudsmen). Confront them with their own statutes, codes of behavior and rules and regulations. When you see lying reporters at work, confront them, register the encounter, and publish it on the internet. Good topics include: purportedly fair elections and climate change as “scientifically proven.”

9. Use the local equivalent of the US “Freedom of Information Act” to bombard the state bureaucracy with demands for information. When enough requests are sent in, this will cause overload and may help to cripple the system.

10. Find ways to fight the regime with its own rules and regulations. For instance, by putting refuges and little boxes for insects, bats, birds and the like in front of speed cameras. Such wildlife havens cannot be removed by the authorities, because they protect wildlife!

11. Refuse to vote in all elections in order to further weaken the regime’s legitimacy.

12. Stop reading and watching the MSM and legacy and state media so as to delegitimize the regime narratives.

13. Fight the regime individually with all legal methods of non-cooperation, work interruption, playful protest and open dissociation, and do this in your personal environment, on the work floor and on social media.

It is a pretty good start, to be sure. The problem is, it is missing ANY mention of Christianity.

Any anti-globalism that does not EXPLICITLY accept Jesus Christ as Lord, God, Saviour, and King, is bound to fail. That is because one cannot serve the world, and serve God – says so right there in the text. Therefore, if you really want to be anti-globalist, you MUST serve God – by definition.


Linkage is good for you:

We start with some dank memes from The Male Brain:

See actual explanation
Can confirm from both sides
Good luck with that
“There is no swifter route to the corruption of thought than through the corruption of language” (George Orwell)
CAN’T CONFIRM EVEN ONE THING
True that
Quiet quitting, here since the 1990s
Can confirm
There are two type of people: Those who think “Die hard” is a X-Mas movie and those who are wrong
Drain the swamp – strat with the top
I did not see that coming
“Watch your mouth Mister”

And now, as LRFotS RobertW says:

I would have used Klaus Schwab in the comparison, but that’s not far off either
That’s the face a Southern woman when she says, “Well bless your heart…”
NOT THE WORST IDEA!

Also Einstein: “I fear that someday people will post my pic on the Internet with bogus made-up quotations in Comic Sans font”

For my money, that track has Nicko McBrain’s finest drumming, EVER – and that is a remarkable oeuvre to choose from.


Rock Out With Your Glock Out


Thot Shots

And finally we have this week’s Instathot to get this miserable day off to a decent start. This here is Irina from Moscow, age unknown, who is basically a photo-model with plastic breasts. (That is not MY opinion – she admits as much, quite openly.)

OK, lads, back to work now.

Oh, all right, one more:

    I ended up picking up the MCC for a tenner in the recent Black Friday sale to go with my new PC. Even if I have the XBONE disc, $1.66 per game is a steal. I’ve been attempting to get all of the par scores to mix things up. I already had a bunch of them from my Legendary runs, but I’ve been playing on Heroic with a bunch of skulls on to grab the rest. It’s kind of fun to have to mix up my play styles!

    Microsoft is unfortunately all-in on woke crap and DEI, so I don’t expect anything good from them going forward.
