“Boomer shooter” is an imperfect term that partially arose out of the multiplayer version of this type of game being called “arena fps” and becoming its own confusing insular side genre from singleplayer games of the day.

I prefer “movement shooter” as it emphasizes how core the movement is in either multiplayer or singleplayer types versions of these games. I love Xonotic because of its movement, the AFPS part actually is less interesting to me inherently, but the bunny hopping flow in games like Ultrakill, Xonotic, Quake and others is something 99.9% of modern shooters sadly ignore.

Xonotic is by far and away the best multiplayer movement shooter in my opinion and it is free and open source. This will give you a good feeling for “boomer shooters” on the multiplayer/bot bashing side.

Cultic is probably the most critically acclaimed singleplayer “boomer shooter” that I would consider at least partially a movement shooter, Ultrakill is also a must play.

By the time he got around to The Fly, Cronenberg had developed a theology of flesh. A real, rigorous philosophy regarding the body as both identity and prison. The body isn’t a vehicle for the self; the body is the self. When it changes, you change. When it fails, you fail. The ghost in the machine isn’t there, it’s just the machine.

This isn’t a comfortable idea. Enormous cultural energy is spent on the notion that our “true selves” are somehow separable from our physical form. That a person stuck in a degenerating body remains, basically, themselves. It’s a nice and consoling fiction. Cronenberg, bless his cold, Canadian heart, doesn’t do consolations.

Seth Brundle does more than acquire fly characteristics, he becomes enthusiastic about them. He can climb walls and ceilings, he can eat by vomiting up enzymes onto his food and drinking the results. He has superhuman strength. For a while, and this is the most disturbing move, it seems like maybe this will be good. Brundle is energised and focused. Physically speaking, he is the best version of himself. He knows it, he loves it, and he pushes away the woman who loves him because she can’t keep up with his incredible new metabolism.

Broadly and arbitrarily undermining access to antidepressants is and would be mass murder.

I support this, go one step further and get a pair of dino themed handcuffs so when you citizen arrest the home invader after they trip and get tangled confusedly into an improbable amount of plastic dinos distributed around the periphery of your basement it is maximally embarassing for them and maximally badass for you.

Thnx

Why do rightwing idiots get to buy a “toy” ar15 with a drum magazine and bump stock and claim with a straight face it is “for home defense”?

I think you can claim all your dinosaur toys are for home defense more credibly, just say at night you spread them all over the floor near your windows and doors so if someone broke in they would painfully step on the sharp dino bits and trip.

There now your dino collecting is SERIOUS business and you are forced to do it to protect your family.

You should stop assuming that when you declare things as true that you have experienced that others will magically take your word for it especially after they have provided actual evidence in their arguments.

Do you think people living in rural areas have more extra money to spend than people living in cities…?

Some people do of course but I highly doubt that generalization holds.

Because you are providing no evidence other than “my car is cheap!” in a flippant totally anecdotal fashion.

Your anecdote does not somehow magically trump the assortment of links to actual calculations from experts of these things I provided.

Rural people aren’t paying rent.

What?

Can you imagine simultaneously being dumb enough and socially unaware enough to buy a cybertruck?

If your car is running OK, able to operate well enough to travel in, your only cost could be gas.

Incorrect, the gas is the cheapest thing you pay for over time with a car in many ways.

Cars cost a very high amount to keep running when you include all the costs, yes it sucks for many people in the US that there car will be worth shit when they are forced to sell it but by then they won’t have a choice or not, they will be forced to get rid of their car because of how much it is costing them to own and maintain it.

I don’t think you understand how desperate things are about to get for the average person in the US, they will have no choice. It will not be optional, people will be forced into getting rid of their cars consequences be damned they needed the money/couldnt afford the expenditure.

One of the things about collapse in the US is the only place most people in the US have left to budge is getting rid of their car, and thus places with functional mass transit in the US are going to grow MUCH more than car suburban car wastelands and cities built entirely around cars which will likely be hit brutally hard as the US goes into another Great Depression.

AI is a massive bubble of bullshit and it can’t all pop soon enough.

“Herd immunity” is the result of the worst possible failure state, it is by definition a description of maximum damage. It makes no sense to portray it as a good outcome.
