Wave Race!

I remember I somehow owned a Gameshark at one point and figured out how to add in Turbo and Big Head mode. I also dimly remember the title music for the game, which was awesome.

State actors? Maybe.

It’s a bit tinhatty, though I’m betting on something akin to corporate espionage pointed at the Internet Archive.

Could just be a 14 year old kid with a bit of talent too. Wouldn’t be the first time.

I don’t have resources in front of me and shitty internet, so if I’m wrong here call it out and continue the conversation. Just a heads up. Gonna off the top of the dome on this one. Also, I do agree that methods which can reduce actual exposure or action should always be seriously considered, regardless of social outcry.

What you are largely referring to are taboos that also fall under other categories. Someone with a rape kink or fetish are in reality into a gaining of, or loss of, control. People who fall into these categories may also fall into some psychosexual disorder category, I’m not sure. What I do know is paraphilia is a recognized class of mental and sexual disorder or extreme deviancy. Does this mean we fully understand it? Nope! It’s just where we are right now in understanding, though my concern is always whether that understanding has been tainted by the knee jerk reactions surrounding the disorders themselves.

Anyway, I’m digressing a bit.

My larger point is that Paraphilia is understood currently as being outside of typical, or even atypical, sexual deviancy. We literally perceive and understand it as a legitimate mental disorder. Moreover, people who suffer from pedophilia and other recognized sexual disorders do struggle with their feelings and desire to act, even if the majority never do. Some even manage to lead healthy lifestyles around children or objects of their desire. Which brings up the concept of risk.

This is because as humans we can disconnect the real from fantasy. The issue with mental disorders though, and the reason they are disorders, is due to the severity of what is present. Which brings me up to another point: I don’t disagree on a fundamental level. I just worry that when it comes to a basic human need that people will find a way to excuse because they’ve been repeatedly introduced to stimulation that could exacerbate something they may already struggle to not take even the smallest of actions on.

This is a rocky subject that should be explored. Just done so carefully. That said, and I want to be clear, I do not blame any person for a desire, only action. Whatever sexual deviancy may exist, the most important things are safety and harm, and being able to provide appropriate care to those who are victims of their own mind.

Oooh no, don’t you clump all of us together. A LOT of us fucking despise the two party system for the trash heap it is.

So it’s less about outlets and more about progression. The concern is while plenty have an outlet they can use, we can’t know how many also choose to escalate because of these outlets.

That said, I do agree with you. However, I will always be more for understanding the disorder when no act has occurred and finding treatment.

100 years? Careful, last time someone made that claim we had maskless idiots injecting literal poison into themselves while claiming a life saving shot causes autism.

“Don’t listen to Biden or the BlueMAGA! If you leave they will take your homes and your land. This “Hurricane” is caused by them! Don’t run!”

Sooooo depends on what you’re using them for. Very few shoes will hold up to retail work, for instance. So 3-6 months for one reviewer without context could be 2 years for you.

Sounds like someone got promoted to a high position. If I’m right it’s the typical “New Manager Must Make Waves To Prove They Belong” level of stupid unique to corporate.

If it’s “more of the same” I’d like the sane ones to win. Y’know, just in case.

And we cannot expect them to make that choice. They are not to blame and people should not be shifting the blame that must lie with the political elite who constantly push these evil restrictions.

Many people are incapable of seeing it this way. So spread the word. Clear communication is one of our weaknesses, let’s get better.

It doesn’t need to meet outstanding expectations, TODD, it just needs to be a good fucking game…TODD. Skyrim isn’t good because it has the best fighting mechanics or most outstanding AI or anything like that. It has stood this long because anybody can turn it on and literally just pick a direction and exist. The world that was crafted is still interesting to this day. We don’t need a game that is better than Skyrim, we just want something similar, updated, and worth stepping into for the world and our own imaginations. Modding support not put aside.

Sure. Except those on the Left won’t. Couple reasons:

1. Can’t agree on a reason.

2. Won’t agree on a where and when.

3. Will disagree whether it’s worth it right now.

For all those that want to complain:

Go ahead and do something about it. Otherwise, swallow your catharsis for a moment and recognize that small and consistent steps yield the changes we need, and that there will be setbacks.

The trick then becomes dedication. Something, I should point out, we in the U.S. are really bad at.

The first thing I did when I was issued a laptop for a job was check for monitoring software of any type. The second thing I did was become extremely suspicious when I couldn’t find any. I suppose the rule is “most likely” or “more often than not” while also being “always assume”.

Authoritative knee jerk with a bit of ignorance thrown in.

You don’t care that much. Yet you’ll spend excess time and effort arguing about your perception of bad journalism. Let’s sum this up:

1. You refuse to believe any news outlet or story.
2. You refuse to share one you do trust, stating you trust none of them.
3. You refuse to do your own research. ANY research.
4. During all of this you find excuses and pull people into bad faith arguments.

Right then.

So you won’t accept the research done by others and won’t do it on your own.
