How Sweet To Be An Idiot

Patrick H Willems, particularly his ‘Star Wars Christmas Special’, is the reason I signed up to Nebula. He’s decidedly non-political.

It’s hammer time.

Because it’s funny?

I’ve been using YouTube as my primary source of entertainment since 2009. I don’t think I’ve looked at the trending page even once.

Has the internet ever been a ‘monoculture’?

The Blues Brothers is a musical.

We seem to be constantly hearing their opinions whether we want to or not anyway.

Being able to levitate things with your mind trumps everything.

I was completely surprised that that arsehole was even still on the air. Everything is stupid.

More a disfigurehead amiright?

I can’t believe no-one’s mentioned BeamNG.drive. The stuff that game simulates is off the charts. It’s been in ‘early access’ forever, but if you’re even remotely interested in driving simulators, it’s the gold standard for a realistic driving experience. Crashing in VR in this game is the most visceral thing ever. It’ll change you.

Here’s a clip of me driving a RHD Piccolina around one of my local roads a kindly modder added to the sim until I crash catastrophically.

For example, here’s a clip of me driving a Ferrari 321PB around Targa Florio from dawn to dusk. Almost everything in this clip is a mod.

Motor Town is amazing from such a small team. Great force feedback and VR support as well.

It’s so good in VR. I call it a rubbernecking simulator. You’re missing most of the game without it imo. I spend most of my time looking out the windows at the views.

I bought that game just because I watched the Noclip documentary series on the developers. I haven’t played it yet, and I’m not sure I ever will, but goddammit I love those two men.

Lol. I only ever go to my subscriptions page.

Zeitgeist: Addendum kinda did that for me. But the book Voltaire’s Bastards was the real lynchpin well before that. Even before that, back in the late eighties, I read a book about the history of money that I borrowed from the Devonport library that really shaped my views about finances and showed me what a farce it all is, but I can in no way remember the title or author.

A recent post on lemmy mentioned something called ‘money dysphoria’, and it really hit home.

Robert A. Heinlein is turning in his grave like a fucking dynamo these days.

That’s when he usually just turns nasty, like any narcissist does when anyone calls them on their bullshit. I wish people would keep egging him on into a full public meltdown. It probably wouldn’t help anything, but it’d be pretty funny.

Not sure, maybe through Wine, but I’m almost certain it won’t work with my Moza wheel and pedals, or VR.
