The funny thing is that historical inaccuracy IS historically accurate when it comes to the Iliad and the Odyssey, because Homer wrote the thing at least 400 years later, and got a bunch of details wrong about, like, Bronze Age warfare for instance!

Looking up tech news this week, it seems we have the choice between dystopian communist AI and dystopian capitalist and/or nazi AI? That’s, err, that’s the choice here?
It’s that time of the year again! Private gig with a pig roast and an ocean view!
Met this old grumpy little guy recently.
Played a game of Gloom with the younger kid, and some of the characters had so many life events on them that you could barely see the portrait anymore… anyway, Gloom is fun! Play some Gloom!
The good fluffy boy is still doing good. He’s got big sticks, and lots of balls.
“Hey Ludo, aren’t you tired of eating rhuba…”
NO! NEVEEEERRRRR
Surprisingly, sometime in the last few months Marvel Comics seems to have joined the list of publishers who do allow downloading (DRM-free?) PDFs of your purchases on Neon Ichiban… huh. I might buy a few digital Marvel comics after all.
LOL wait, that Supergirl bundle isn’t the usual bundle where you get a whole bunch of PDFs or ebooks. It only gives you a redeem code to Neon Ichiban, a digital comics/manga store with deceptive dark UI patterns, and of course no DRM-free download options AFAICT. Fuck this.
I recently complained about how difficult it is to get a digital copy of “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” (and digital comics in general), and… well, there’s a Supergirl Humble Bundle right now with that book! Frankly, bundles have been the only good way to buy digital comics in the last 10 years.
