Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. This was a bit late - I was too busy goofing around on Discord)
Obvious moral issues aside, is that even an effective marketing point? Linking yourself to Anduril, whose name is synonymous with war crimes and dead civs, seems like an easy way to drive away customers.
Iām holding out for the Lockheed-branded Atari Lynx clone thats made from surplus R9X knife missile parts.
I have my eye on the McDonnell Douglas-branded Neo Geo, which will be a value-engineered trijet and a brick of explosive all while only running the version of worm that was on the nokia brick phone.
Be careful my pal says the engines tend to fall off!
yeah, I dunno how large the union of retro game handheld enthusiasts and techfash lickspittles is.
The before-games-went-woke sector was large enough to bring us gamergate so thereās definitely a sizable available crossover.
This doesnāt really feel performative enough for that crowd, though. Like, if it included some kind of horribly racist engraving or even just a company logo then maybe, but I donāt think anyoneās gonna trigger the libs by just playing their metal not-gameboy.
