    Covered that in one of the links in a previous thread on the subject of SPI

    history: Let’s look at the downfall of SPI through the lens of advertising! SPI rose to fame on the basis of word of mouth & in house magazine Strategy & Tactics. Generally they didn’t advertise in main stream media but ran some magazine ads in Heavy Metal magazine 1/4

    I believe the joke is "The 80,000 copies printed were 79,999 too many."

    Astute readers will remember that Victory Games was the phoenix out of the ashes of SPI. SPI’s most infamous licensed game was of the soap opera Dallas. It did not sell well at all. See also ’s Something Positive webcomic on that game

    “In political terms, this policy is called the ‘great replacement’” No, Tucker, it’s in in neo-Nazi circles that this policy is called the ‘great replacement.’ That’s the rhetoric you’re using. Neo-Nazi rhetoric on primetime cable. And it’s going to get (more) people killed.

    0:50
    Tucker Carlson outright calls Biden's immigration policy a "great replacement" likens it to "eugenics."

    okay so as some people don't seem to know this is happening: when someone replies to one of your posts asking you for your paypal / venmo / etc, there are bots that will IMMEDIATELY clone your account and reply with a payment link. they block your account in the same second.

    tweet by anonymised account: replying to @stimmyskye "You have a PayPal / Kofi?" one reply by me @stimmyskye: "I can't see it but probably a spam bot just replied to you" another reply by a cloned account @stimmyskye_ "I do ❤️ Pay Job nyota using PayPal.Me"

    Pffft. "Follow back" as a social convention is such a bonkers idea. I'm in charge of who I follow. You're in charge of who you follow. I follow people whose tweets I want to see. I trust you're doing the same. That's how it works. That's how it should work.

    Text from a tweet: "If they don't have the god damn courtesy to follow you back, unfollow them. They're toxic and don't deserve your time."

    Hey, remember when Branagh cast Brian Blessed as Odin but was forced to replace him because someone thought a bunch of people would ONLY go see Thor because it had Anthony Hopkins in a supporting role.

    Reminder that all cryptocurrency is "douchy". You can throw whatever buzzwords you'd like out, but the damage being done to the environment by cryptocurrency has eliminated ALL gains we've made in moving toward green energy and reducing carbon emissions.

    Yes, it's crypto, but I’m making sure it’s not douchey, promise! It's like a Felicia arcade, where you buy tokens to spend on my stuff. Merch, events, art, more to come! Excited about what GEEX community will become as we build together! (THREAD 4/4)

    ... wut

    So instead of making a Patreon to support what I do online, I've decided to made a creator coin called GEEX! Each week a limited number of signed photos, podcast shoutouts, video gifts and more will be avail here for peeps! But there's more! (THREAD 1/4)

    Pre-Matrix and discounting anime, there were literally two good cyberpunk movies: Blade Runner and Strange Days. And I bet a lot of you haven't heard of Strange Days. BTW, go watch Strange Days, it's REALLY fucking good...

    If you stretch, you might pull in Total Recall or Minority Report or other "inspired by the works of Phillip K. Dick" movies. But are you really telling me that Super Mario Bros is a worse movie than Johnny Mnemonic? Lawnmower Man 2? Judge Dredd?
