explaining the joke and realizing that it's not that great of a joke to begin with 

@IceWolf oh, this is a joke based on the fact that sonic drives a race car in that game when he could, in theory, be just as fast or faster just by running (given that's his whole deal).

my thought was, maybe some days he doesnt "feel like" running, similar to how when im struggling to do something i "dont feel like" doing it for some nebulous reason i cant place

And as an anarchist, I think people ought to be able to do what they want, or as much as possible of what they want. Perhaps it’s worth thinking about the difference between “everyone ought to be able” and “everyone ought to have the opportunity”. Particularly if you really think what it means to to give everyone an opportunity. (Hint: it’s not just having open days at your urban hackerspace.)

suicide, kiwifarms 

near, the developer of bsnes and higan and a number of other wonderful things, is dead

they were basically singlehandedly responsible for the push toward accurate snes emulation, and they were a legend in game preservation

a harassment campaign by kiwifarms drove near to suicide

in near we have lost a great mind. i hope they find peace in rest, and i hope the murderers responsible for this never have peace again
