I may or may not have rigged a radio contest by voting for myself on every computer I could find in places like this.

Man, haven't even thought about Mega 64 in ages.
Going by Musks recently displayed tech prowess; he is probably sending his doge guys to track down the guy in this meme right now.
I'm totally not gonna sell Rocco from Mega64 out. Not even want to mention his name.
It’s twitter, deadname the shit out of that cancer
but xitter is pronounced with a sh
Musk says it's hackers
Dumbass probably forgot to pay the power bill.
Dumbass probably ~~forgot~~ refused to pay the power bill.
Ftfy
Without seeing any evidence, I'm unwilling to believe that it's being hacked.
But if it is... keep it up, boys.
While I can appreciate that it might be getting hit with DDoS, I really hope it's deeper and causes data loss or something permanent. I want to see the world take everything away from Elon.
I hope so, too. Motherfucker deserves it.
Yeah. I bet they have shitty backups that probably aren’t even encrypted at rest
Thanks comrade, great news
I hope it stays down. 🤞🍀
UNATCO? Statue of Liberty? JC Denton let himself go.
god I missed playing deus ex. it doesn't hit the same now. at the time it was a ridiculous story that incorporated every well known conspiracy theory, and it was fun as an obvious fantasy world where those things were all true.
now knowing there's a alarmingly huge number of people who not only believe those but much much stupider shit while ignoring what theie government is doing right in front of their face ... it just ruined my enjoyment of it. what used to be obvious fantasy now sounds exactly like genuine right wing propaganda. fuck me.
Remember when the prototype Morpheus AI told JC that humanity would eventually construct a pervasive, all seeing and all knowing AI system to serve as a new God... because humans always worship, and require judgement, both personally, and collectively, to maintain social cohesion?
We're almost there.
Elon of course thinks he is JC, not realizing he is closer to Page.
Why do you think he's got that old pic of him in a trenchcoat?
He has certainly played Deus Ex, for a while he was using Twitter avatars from DX, he actually was fairly seriously involved in 90s PC gaming, though according to others involved in Quake at the time, he wasn't very good, and only had an advantage due to gaming on his business T1 line from Zip2, giving him a massive ping advantage in online play, but wasn't special when everyone was gathered at a LAN party.
His life is a 'revenge of the nerds' plot, if you asked him.
If it’s any perverse consolation people believed those stupid fucking conspiracies long before the internet shoved their idiocy in our faces.
I grew up in a household with those conspiracies, including but not limited to Illuminati, wrist chips, and other flavors of end-of-times insanity. Grown adults spewing that straight faced made me lose my trust in them.
I also grew up playing the game and understood it was fully fabrication, but also a commentary just like every other science fiction work.
Idiots are not new, just louder now.
I'd say you're half right. what i meant was back then it was fringe, and the majority of people didn't take them seriously. the internet not only brings these people together but galvanizes their beliefs and spreads them. they're not just louder, they are more numerous. and stupider.
this is the most annoying part for me.
even conspiracy theories are much more stupid than before. at least a lot of old conspiracy theories had some reason behind them. black helicopters, hidden aliens, multiple shooters... whatever, yeah you could see why they might have happened, and why the government would have reasons to keep those under wraps if they were true.
now they're like ... trans agenda (whatever that is), covid to cull the population, covid vaccines to implant chips, 5g, flat earth (I know it's old but there's no way it was as popular as it is now)... just the fucking dumbest, most nonsensical, pointless, improbable and impractical shit.
Don't worry anybody, we can count on JC Denton, who definitely did ask for this.
I have to listen to this remix whenever I hear the UNATCO music now: https://youtu.be/odfCTFPyZCo
hell yesssssss
I'm devastated.
let's hope it stays down for long!
Unfortunately, it's up
X is down???
Rejoice!
I'm kinda shocked this isn't Dwight Schrute.
