LEMMY ALLOWS ME TO HAVE A SCREENNAME THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN 15 YEARS AGO, ON REDDIT. I AM CHILLDUDE69 AND I AM FREAKIN’ HAPPY ABOUT IT!

Yes, I’m screaming all that. Capslock is still cruise control for cool, y’all.

Peace.

ChillDude69,

That’s what I thought. IMHO, hostile architecture is the physical-world equivalent of a lot of the policies that led us to flee Reddit, Twitter, etc.

ChillDude69,

Gotta back off further than that, yo.

The sheer amount of ass-busting, ball-sweating work that the Battleship Texas Foundation folks have done…it’s just humbling. Good for them.

EDIT: Also, the livestream of when they towed her from San Jacinto to the drydock was absolutely the coolest livestream that I’ve ever watched. Checked all the boxes of, like, “this is a historical event that I’m watching; there’s a real sense of occasion,” plus “this is like those slow-TV videos, where someone has a camera and walks through nature scenery.” I had that shit on all day.

ChillDude69,

Yo, I keep meaning to watch that clearly wack-ass Krampus movie, from a few years ago. I get the feeling it’s one of those so-bad-it-was-actually-pretty-entertaining kind of flicks.

ChillDude69,

Cool beans. I’ll give it a shot.

ChillDude69,

Confirmed. Just like birds.

ChillDude69,

Imagine if Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich had a daughter. And she grew up to be Prime Minister. But people on the moderate wing of the political spectrum insist that she’s a nice lady, because she’ll pour the tea for everyone, during the meeting where they’re trying to defund all the healthcare, low-income housing, and education programs.

ChillDude69,

I’m not sure what the most original version was, but the one the screenshot is from is called Gorillas, and it was included with Mircosoft Qbasic, on DOS. It was intended as an example program, to show what QBasic could do. I modded the crap out of it, to make the explosions bigger and weird colors, etc. Changed the gorillas to be all mutated and fucked up, etc. Good times.

ChillDude69,

I remember playing it on DOS-only machines. I think it started being included with QBasic in MSDOS 5. This is now unlocking a memory, for me. I remember, back in that era, I made a QBasic program that was literally the DVD screensaver, with the logo bouncing around…except it was just a circle with a gradient in it. I think I eventually upgraded it to being a smiley face. Anyway, that was long before the meme about screensavers like that, and the whole “OMG IT’S ABOUT TO HIT THE CORNER, SO SATISFYING” thing.

But the thing is, I distinctly remember having that “oooh, it’s gonna hit the corner” feeling. And it was extra satisfying, because I had coded the collision physics for myself, including offsets for the origin point of the circle, so it would bounce off the edges, rather than slide halfway off the screen. It was a really awesome feeling.

What the fuck is this? I guess my scriptblocker blocked whatever site that was. I cannot find anything about that link. WHAT THE FUCK DID I CLICK ON???

EDIT: EVERYONE REPORT THIS, BUT CAN THE MODS PLEASE TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT THIS WACK-ASS LINK IS???

ChillDude69,

Or, like, dramatically increased haunting.

ChillDude69,

I think the Affinity Photo suite works on the ios mobile platform. It’s definitely supposed to work on iPad.

I have been using Affinity Photo 2 on the PC side for almost a year, and it’s the Photoshop replacement of my dreams. It should probably be on sale soon, too, if it’s not already.

ChillDude69,

Oh, for sure. Can’t you see Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos’ faces on a tapestry, like the founders of the OG medieval dynasties? That’s what we’re heading into.

Shit, I always thought those sci-fi settings (like Warhammer 40k, Dune, Bill the Galactic Hero) where people returned to actual systems of lords and peasants were kind of far-fetched. I was simply naïve. We’re witnessing the start of that shit, right the fuck now.

ChillDude69,

Truly excellent point. The closest thing to badass architecture that the neo-aristocracy is doing right now would be those godforsaken super-yachts. But they’re either en route, somewhere in the ocean where nobody can see them, or else just tied up at the pier, looking like a generically massive “look at my wealth dick” boat. Yawn.

Like you’re saying, they could at LEAST build some super-amazing buildings. Or maybe, like, two or three of them could get into a prick-waving contest, to see who’s gonna pay off more people’s fucking medical debt. Just to flex.

ChillDude69,

Without Macaulay what’s the point.

Lowkey, I kinda feel like Mila Kunis is having that exact thought, pretty regularly, right about now.

ChillDude69,

TEACH ME YOUR WAYS. I WANT TO RETURN TO THE OCEAN.

ChillDude69,

Thanks. I kinda like mine better, too. The more I think about it, the more I consider the intended interpretation to be MORE nihilistic than my own. It’s like “yeah, we all have to recycle, or else it’s pointless, so if you recycled and not everyone else did, then you wasted your time.”

My version is just, like, a universal truth.

ChillDude69,

I have heard so many different permutations of that whole thing, like: “well, this thermoplastic can only be recycled twice, but this dodecaphrastic ultraplastic can be recycled more times, but then the energy it takes to do the sorting and melting makes the whole thing meaningless, unless you’re talking about aluminum.”

It’s to the point where I can no longer keep track of which story I tend to believe.
