"Earlier this week, a Waukesha, Wisconsin, teenager and devotee of the Order of the Nine Angles, or ONA, was charged with murdering his mother and stepfather and plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump, in order to further the Order’s goals of a world plunged into chaotic violence. 'Jewish occupied governments must fall. The white race cannot survive unless America collapses,' the 17-year-old, Nikita Casap, wrote in a manifesto. 'Huge amounts of violence will be required.'
He called himself a 'niner' (a Nine Angles devotee) and encouraged his imitators to read a variety of extremist books. In doing so, Casap drew on nearly a century of blood-drenched legacy in his pairing of violent death with a potent dose of magical thinking."

Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu with Andrew Young (Behold!)
Gather ‘round, Dragon Ball devotees and gluttons for punishment! This week on Play Comics, we’re subjecting ourselves to the digital equivalent of getting hit by Frieza’s Death Beam repeatedly-Dragon Ball Z Taiketsu for the Game Boy Advance. Imagine taking the most explosive anime franchise in history and cramming it into a game with all the fiery intensity of a damp firecracker. Spoiler alert: This isn’t a battle for glory-it’s a battle for survival against one of the most bafflingly awful licensed games ever conceived.
Joining me in this masochistic quest is Andrew Young from Behold!, who’s agreed to lend his expertise (and his remaining sanity) to dissect this pixelated travesty. Together, we’ll answer the burning question: How did a game about planet-destroying superhumans end up feeling as thrilling as watching paint dry on Master Roshi’s houseboat? Hint: It involves more clipping issues than Yamcha’s career and combat mechanics flatter than Krillin’s scalp.
From animations that resemble a PowerPoint presentation gone rogue to a soundtrack that sounds like a kazoo orchestra trapped in a washing machine, Taiketsu doesn’t just drop the ball-it spikes it into the core of the Earth, unleashes a Spirit Bomb of disappointment, and then forgets to animate the explosion. Whether you’re here for the schadenfreude or just morbid curiosity, grab your Dragon Radar and a stiff drink. This episode’s gonna hurt. A lot.
Learn such things as:
- What happens when the developers are put not only behind the 8 ball, but also in front of a really high cliff on a windy day and that cliff is made of ice?
- So I guess games really do need a story don’t they? Even if it’s just a hand wave at one.
- Is this the new worst representation of the comic source material?
- And so much more!
You can find Andrew by looking at the Behold! account on Twitter or of course the Behold! website. You should especially check out the episode looking at X-Men 97 because I love that series and need something good in my life, and the episode looking at Fan4stick because it has me in it.

A big thanks to the Kickstarter campaign for I Brought A Gorilla to a Gunfight and the Kickstarter campaign for Starlite for the promos today.
Intro/Outro Music by Backing Track, who forgot that this game exists and is now on a mission to destroy me because I brought this fact back to light.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell
A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of “pleasure.” That is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher

The Third-of-a-Pound Burger flop
"Ah, fractions. Who needs 'em? Not burger devotees. According to Canadian news outlet CBC, the famous McDonald's Quarter Pounder burger once had a larger cousin, the Third-of-a-Pound Burger...."
That's why it's a bad idea to argue online.

First session of SotDL,
Character creation was pretty fast and as fun as you can immagine thanks to the tables (we have a devotee/soldier Dwarf, a hunter/Sex-worker Changeling and a pick-pocket/carpenter Human. All of which badly in need of money).
I hadn't realized how much a lot of stuff is going to be a 50%/50% pass/fail at first, which gives challenge rolls a weird significance..

Some graphic effects are problematic in #Factorio (running through #box64), related to #OpenGL issues, but regular planet seems playable. Have to load my PC save and test how well that runs.
Menu background with lots of active asteroid collectors was a bit lagy, though.

#NowPlaying #Folkways ❝In the 1950s and 60s, the blues was the dominant form of Black vernacular music throughout Texas and the surrounding areas. Robert “Mack” McCormick, an academically untrained but fanatical devotee, stepped into this world and became one of its most devout advocates and documentarians.

BJP leader Sambit Patra to fast for 3 days over ‘slip of the tongue’ on Lord Jagannath
BJP leader and party's Puri Lok Sabha candidate Sambit Patra clarified that it was a slip of the tongue and he wanted to mean that the PM was an ardent 'bhakt' (devotee) of Lord Jagannath and not the other.

Conservatives injected the poison of "children having children" into our society's discourse to criminalize young women for daring to *gasp* bear children, but nowadays that lie's most eager devotees seem to be so-called "progressives". Which is as sad as it is infuriating.

Here’s another compilation of clips from Kerman, #iran of people burning #IRGCTerrorists propaganda posters that were laid out for the 44th anniversary of the Islamic republic of terror occupying Iran. In one we hear the speaker saying we don’t want mir (devotees), we don’t want mullahs and to hell with the Ayatollah. But my favorite is seeing #kotlet Soleimani fry over and over again. May he perpetually burn in hell as he burns in our minds. #IranRevoIution #iranprotests #WomanLifeFreedom

A brief (re)introduction, for my one-year anniversary here.
I'm Mike Lupica, the radio guy, not the sportswriter. 30+ year community radio devotee, and the present advisor for WPRB. In bygone days, I was the events director at WFMU, an occasional fill-in host at East Village Radio, and a broadcast engineer at WNYC. I now helm a weekly show on WFMU's web-only Drummer stream.
I usually post about DIY, zines, jukeboxes, freeform radio, NYC, Paris, London, chickens, cats, dystopian near-future sci-fi, bushcraft, vinyl, strong coffee, weird dreams, good wine, urban biking, RenFaire vibes, hardboiled crime fiction, and old hip-hop airchecks.
I've ditched all other social media because I'm done with corporate shitbro culture and its unending desire to play kissyface with fascist chowderheads.
This place rules and I'm happy to be here. You all seem delightful.
