My buddy Julian was linked up with our city's biggest phreakers. Dude disappeared and word is he did 10 years. This was in the 80's

I'm not sure why you feel the need to make such a statement and try to be rude to me when I have meticulously explained, to anybody who with an intelligent mind, specifically why I don't want to talk about this but you need to push

So how about this, I'll save the bother and just block you :)

You are literally the type of person that I want to avoid in these kind of conversations, that's why I go at it things the way I do, but you're too emotionally confused to get it

Look in the mirror, and realize you haven't added a single thing here

But the crux of the issue, is that I don't give a fuck what you think and you CAN'T understand that. IT'S TOO HARD FOR YOU TO ACCEPT THAT I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU THINK

Bye-bye blocked

Bro that's just one incident in three decades of madness

I'm not lying when I tell you I was at the top top bro

I changed the world with my technology

And when you know what's what, you are sick to your stomach

That's why I refuse to buy anything, I pick things out of dumpsters, I'm friends with homeless people, I go at 3:00 a.m. and bring them soup, I connect to my community, I volunteer, I serve, I fix electronics, I do what I want every day that makes me happy, I don't need any illusion anymore

But I would be absolutely thrilled to shatter the bubble of anybody that wants to talk about what they think they know about games

I choose my words very deliberately here and I am intentionally portraying hostility so that anybody with two clues to rub together can see where it's going to go if they start. I want people to know that you're dealing with a dragon ... if you want to know - I'll tell you.

I'm a nice dragon but I've had it with people who want to talk to me about what they think they know about this realm

I have done anyone reading these comments the courtesy of knowing that it's not going to go the way they think if they whisper word one to me about games okay, that's a kindness I'm doing you all in advance lol

And in a way I'm saying don't fucking ask me, I've been dealing with these dumb conversations for 30 years on the internet, if you think you have a single thing to say to me in opposition to what has been said here so far, don't message me, in fact block me right now on Lemmy

Anybody want to take a shot? Let me begin the conversation so you get a flavor: every single gamer is a gullible magical-thinking rube, an infant in their emotional core. These individuals will spend countless hours performing micro tasks which are puzzle-based in nature, but accomplish nothing, simply to satisfy some primitive emotional logic. These people are the equivalent of children that think magic is real, then they want the magician to explain the trick, then they get upset when they learn that it's a trick and they want to tell the magician no, magic's actually real. If you like gaming, I hate you. Because I am a gamer but I know what games are and you don't.

Truthfully, no. I was a really top level fucker in the industry and let me tell you man... It's a vicious game, and even thinking about things that happened 30 years ago are causing my hairs to stand on end right now even though I'm sitting with a nice warm espresso in a sunbeam smoking a joint.

I'm going to copy and paste from a previous answer. Please do me the courtesy of not asking any questions about my history in the game industry, because I will go off like a f'king neutron bomb. It will be real but it will be ugly. I mean ask if you want, but you'll get the fuck beaten out of you and you won't like it and it'll disabuse you of, in a most vicious way, your incorrect thoughts, perspective, and fee fees RE anything to do with games. If you want to look behind the curtain man we're going to look but you won't like what you see, I can absolutely promise you that, and I will not protect feelings. So before you do, think about it for a little bit, then don't please.

"They were contracted to design the (edit: low-level coin op hardware, etc) API for our new Internet-enabled touchscreen gaming network kiosks (world first at the time) and they were fucking useless. And then had the gall to present the piece of shit at the CGDG 1997, as a half-finished completely non-functional, but presented it like it was their own product and not a massive NDA violation. Presented like their own product which could be generically extended to other platforms. Fuck you Matt. Fuck you Monolith you fucking cunts."

I will always appear to tell Monolith to go fuck themselves, and dance on their graves.

Fuck you Matt, fuck you Monolith. You fucked our company over, stole our technology, presented it at the game developer conference like it was yours - dealing with you Matt was the worst 2 fucking years of my life you big fat bloated sack of highly-incompetant, completely sleazy and unethical, lazy lying shit.

I was given a smart watch yesterday

I wore it for 20 minutes and immediately gave it to a crack addict

All the fking doodads that exist nowadays are just trash - I literally cannot comprehend why anybody wants them in their life! They do not really seem to add anything, they're just a meaningless trifling distraction and another shiny toy that ends up in the trash heap, as far as I can see

I truly feel sorry for anybody that is in the not sweet spot I guess the sour spot of not being able to select the vehicle of their choice due to economic factors, and being forced to buy one of these used pieces of shit that is replete with garbage technology that does not serve the user in any meaningful way. Oh my God, I've never one from that generation and I never will, and I consider myself blessed. Just operating a microwave nowadays is torture, give me a fucking chunky button and let me press the fucking thing.

This is such a thought provoking read.

One of my buddies is an astrophysicist just finishing his PhD candidacy and he's in the final thrust

When we have time to get together and talk, a lot of our dialogue centers around the fact that all the things that physics considers to be "real" are emergent artifacts, turbulent vortices in a way, that arise from transformations that cannot exist within the resolution of our current domain.

Fundamental physics is kind fked right now because I think nothing is real and that's hard to accept.

It seems like there is only a unified blob, and the only things that are actually "real" are rotating reference frames, potential gradients & one operation which is addition. From the rotation of reference frames arises the operator (direction) which is addition, and from that arises gradient. Another way of saying it is that the entire universe is an illusion arising from one giant rotating blob.

You don't have a point. You're in a psychological spin out because you're wrong. Blocked
