I went to a party over the weekend. While I was there, someone asked what I do for a living, and I explained about the startup and taking a gamble on it.
"Oh, weren't you worried about money?"
"Well, yeah, but I'm used to living on a lot less than what I currently do, so it was scary but okay. I have a safety net."
"Oh, but what about..."
And I braced myself for the inevitable question about debt.
Streamed my sci-fi dystopian Deus Ex mod, where a homeless socialist hacktivist dodges AI-run robot cops and drone-strikes in downtown San Fran outside of barbwire-walled billionaire enclaves, attempting to free smartphone-making sweatshop prisoners. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSosE3DAwJ0 Thanks everyone who stopped in!
@feonixrift XD 2025: After mass-drone moonings, drone butt-recognition gets so good Amazon delivery bots will deliver tanning lotion while you're sunbathing face down in the sand at the beach.
I made a Deus Ex total conversion about ten years ago where you play a homeless socialist hacktivist trying not to get drone-striked in downtown San Fran outside of barbwire-walled billionaire enclaves or caught by the AI-automated robot police and thrown in the smartphone sweatshop. 60% AI/automation unemployment rate and global subprime meltdown redux.
Going to be streaming some of Terminus Machina tomorrow in honor of it being about five minutes from reality.
@dona Hey thanks a lot for playing Terminus Machina and for the kind feedback! Sorry that I kind of made it pretty tough. If I'm able to actually beat it tomorrow you can use it as a walkthrough. :)

"Detainees are packed so tightly into rooms that they have to stand on toilets to breathe."
One cell with a capacity of 8 held 41 detainees. A cell built for 35 held 155."
children are dying in ICE and CBP custody
Solitary confinement and torture to the point of slitting wrists, gouging one's eyeballs, especially disabled, LGBTQ people and hunger strikers they don't know what to do with.
