As more and more jobs are replaced by automation, ai or overseas companies, the world still needs people to buy stuff. Universal basic income is the only way.

THINGS WE COULD ALL DO WITHOUT What not to say to someone with a chronic illness | But you don't look sick. | Have you tried yoga? Or cutting out gluten? | Everyone gets tired. I'm exhausted too. | You just need to push through it. | At least it's not cancer. | My aunt had that and she's totally fine now. | But you were fine last week. Belief costs nothing. Sometimes the kindest thing you can say is simply: I believe you.
I just received a fantastic gift from a friend β thank you so much, Beautiful Bits!
Super Fanger is a fast-paced tag game for one or two players. There are unlockable levels and characters. I'm really looking forward to trying it out with friends.

There are two Goemon RPGs for Game Boy Color that have never been translated. I created tools that will be useful for translating these games (if anyone is ever interested in doing so). You can read more about it here:

The #ironlung inspired #zxspectrum game Iβve been working on is now available. #sinclairbasic with some compression to fit a detailed game screen and some creepy visuals! www.eigengrouse.com/posts/the-mu...
I look at #Amiga "Turrican" published in 1990 by Rainbow Arts. It uses a double buffer plus pristine buffer for the scroll, with minimal edge updates, and also look at some of the early boss sections.

Time to let off some STEAM with some games that you can get on STEAM.

Yes, I have a lot of nostalgia for it. Especially that loading tune.
But I concede that the gameplay is difficult to love, especially having to carry one piece at a time to the basement and back.
27-games - one each for retro, modern, and indie
If you are looking at buying a cartridge of a homebrew release for a retro system, always check with whoever made the original game to see if the person selling the cart/CDRom has permission to do so.
If they don't, don't buy it. It's that damn simple.
This isnβt a hallucination, Michael Gove. Youβve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.
Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.

MEGAWAVE is out now! πΎ Built around #8bit synths and #16bit samples, it sounds like the soundtrack to a game that never existed, somewhere between Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and The Great Giana Sisters. #chiptune

The first GIF I saw was Bert with his head in his hands, but this is more appropriate
what's cool about webp is that no one likes it and no one has ever asked for it
I am pointing at that post like Leonardo Di Caprio in the famous memeβ¦
Another fantastic episode of the Dreamcast Junkyard DreamPod.

I don't think AI is going to replace all jobs, but if it DID, we would need Universal Basic Income immediately.
As it stands, heavy wealth taxation + UBI is still the best (non-communist) solution for an economy that is increasing in efficiencies while bleeding middle-class consumers who buy stuff.
Today is once again Bandcamp Friday, where they don't take a cut or profit out of sales and pay 100% out to every artist! My Catalog now has 59 releases and still keeps growing! Please take a look! π

Bandcamp is awesome for indie artists and fans!
"UBI is not a ceiling that holds us down. It is a floor. And when you give human beings a solid floor to stand on, they donβt lie down.
They reach for the stars."
It's Bandcamp Friday and a nice thing you can do even if you haven't kept up on new music is to go buy the soundtracks for recent games you've enjoyed
