Behold! The self-proclaimed Mother of All Games!

Scorched Earth, by Wendell Hicken, was released as shareware in 1991. It wasn't going to win awards for groundbreaking graphics, yet it's one of the best multiplayer games ever - highly addictive with endless replay value.

It let you customize a huge range of settings, from gravity, wind, and meteor showers to many others. Building on earlier games like QBasic Gorillas, it took the concept to a much higher level, supporting up to 10 players with far greater complexity and variety.

You set angle and power to aim, with a wide choice of weapons (unlike the banana in QBasic Gorillas, for anyone who remembers).

Computer-controlled enemies ranged from difficulty 1 (Moron) to 10 (Cyborg). No other game has named its lowest difficulty level so perfectly!

Wendell Hicken, the Quentin Tarantino of game developers!

@lthlnkso @EndWokeness every Chinese student is forced to sign up to be an "agent" for the CCP before they leave china on a student visa. its a whole section of the sign up process. if they are called upon during their time in the US. if they do not comply their family is held hostage in china.

“Armed citizens stopped 48% of all shooters last year, but the FBI lied about those numbers. They recorded none. Zero percent.”

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

This is propaganda by omission.

A regime doesn’t stop being tyrannical because it hasn’t recently carpet bombed another country. China runs concentration camps against Uyghurs, crushed Hong Kong’s freedom movement, threatens Taiwan constantly, disappears dissidents, censors speech, imprisons critics, and maintains one of the most technologically invasive authoritarian systems on earth.

And the “peaceful superpower” line ignores reality. China invaded Tibet, fought India, fought Vietnam, intervened in Korea, violently clashes in the South China Sea, threatens invasion of Taiwan, and uses economic coercion constantly.

Also notice the standard shift. When America is judged, every civilian casualty anywhere on earth counts as proof of evil. When China is judged, internal oppression of hundreds of millions suddenly “doesn’t count” because the victims are trapped inside the regime instead of outside it.

A prison can be quiet too. That doesn’t make it free.

🚨 Real footage from an electronics factory in mainland China: Workers are forced to use a completely open toilet placed right next to the production line — with zero privacy.

No walls. No doors. No curtains.

Everyone on the workshop floor can see everything when someone needs to go to the toilet.

This is not a joke. This is not staged.

This is the daily reality under CCP rule.

No dignity. No basic human respect. Just raw exploitation.

Unbelievable that this still exists in 2026. 🤯

@lthlnkso crazy that the kids would rather be dumber, unhappy, and more lonely FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIVES than give up their phones for a few hours a day. a lot of the habits they build during school years will last their entire life.

If your husband enjoys gaming may I suggest not being a frigid bitch, letting him enjoy a hobby just as you do, and throwing all caution to the wind and venturing out of your comfort zone to try it with him sometime.

All this gripe is just women trying to poorly assert control in a way that creates miserable men and does nothing except enhance resentment.

As with any hobby, communication is key.

Writing men off because they enjoy something you do not is insane girl behavior, stop that.

[The Misfit Patriot @misfitpatriot_]

Holy shit…

How can I explain this so normal people understand what the fuck is happening here… I’ll give it a shot. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In my original post, I pointed out how a 2x4 was $13 under Biden (fact). I didn’t specify the reason why, because the point wasn’t to blame Biden, it was to highlight sometimes events happen (Covid, war, etc) that cause prices to increase, and eventually they come down. Everyone is bitching about gas after less than 2 months of an operation which has caused a temporary price increase, but we lived under massive inflation for years and we all survived. I’ll bet good money gas prices will revert way faster than the cost of a 2x4 under Biden, yet people are still acting like the fucking sky is falling, and you all need to chill.

But anyway, this fuckin retard just decided to try to get a gotcha moment on me by pointing out a 16 foot pressure treated 2x4 in 2026 is comparable to the to cost of an 8 foot white wood stud in 2021. For those of you who aren’t in the trades, PT lumber is always more expensive than whitewood or KD because it’s treated for a specific use. He probably didn’t know that because he’s a fuckin nerd.

So, if we adjust for the cost of an 8 foot 2x4 in 2021 being $13 which is 350% higher than the price it is now, and apply it to the price of a 16 foot PT stud according to his “research”, that same piece of lumber would be around $50 while Biden was president, and Biden didn’t even blow up any terrorists, what a loser.

The moral of the story is math, bitch!

Reminder that the Iranian Revolution started as a student-led leftist Marxist movement to overthrow the Shah. Then Muslims joined in, presenting themselves as ‘anti-imperialists’ too.

Once the Islamic regime took power, those same leftist students and their progressive ideals were the first to be killed.

Leftist students in American and Western universities are literally making the same mistake right now. They never learned the lesson.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!

THE ONLY WAY INFORMATION GOT OUT OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA AFTER HELENE IS BECAUSE MYSELF AND A FEW OTHERS ON THE GROUND ACTUALLY DOCUMENTED IT!!!!!!

EVERY SINGLE ONE of the mainstream media outlets LEFT within days of the storm.

I LIVED HERE SO I COULDN'T LEAVE AND I DEDICATED A YEAR OF MY LIFE TO DOCUMENTING THE STORIES OF VICTIMS THAT YOU, YES YOU, LEFT BEHIND!!!!!

I AM SO SICK OF THE GASLIGHTING.

YOU COULD HAVE STAYED AND COVERED THE STORIES...

BUT YOU LEFT.

I was one of the ONLY people still telling the stories from Helene MONTHS after everyone else pulled out and tried to TAMP DOWN how BAD the Biden Administration really was after Helene.

Why didn't you cover the HUNDREDS OF STORIES I told over the months after Hurricane Helene?!

Why didn't you talk about the MILES LONG PROPANE LINES?!

Why did you talk about the victims living in tents?

Why didn't you talk about people getting kicked out of FEMA hotels?

Why didn't you talk about FEMA putting ILLEGAL ALIENS IN LUXURY HOTELS IN NEW YORK CITY?????

You chose to leave.

That was a CHOICE.

So spare me the lectures about coverage. Spare me the gaslighting about who told this story.

You had every resource on earth and you left us.

We were here. You weren't. And no amount of revisionism is going to change that.

Screw you.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

Out of every disgusting, dishonest piece of filth the mainstream media has produced about Hurricane Helene...

This is the worst.

60 Minutes has NEVER done a story on the families FEMA denied.

They NEVER mentioned the Amish, who are STILL in the mountains rebuilding homes 550 days later.

They NEVER mentioned Jake Jarvis, who has worked 550 days STRAIGHT FOR FREE for Hurricane Helene victims.

Instead, they dug up some fringe conspiracy angle to smear the people who actually showed up as White Nationalists.

I'm so angry.

Let me tell you what 60 Minutes will NEVER report on

I was there. I lived it. I am still here.

I shared every story I could find.

Me, my wife, hundreds of volunteers delivered RVs to mothers holding babies who were sleeping in TOOL SHEDS AND TENTS in the freezing cold, in the mountains.

Because their homes had been ripped off the side of a mountain and washed down the French Broad.

So tell me 60 Minutes... WHERE WAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

Tell me, WHY did all these volunteers NEED to show up?

Any thoughts on that?!!!!!

Any investigation AT ALL into the federal or state government's response to Hurricane Helene?

Please tell me... if the federal government was doing such a GREAT JOB, why did we need to put victims in RVs...

...A MONTH AFTER THE HURRICANE?!!!!!!!

Literally every single victim you talk to in Western North Carolina has a horror story about dealing with FEMA...

...and guess who they will all say actually cam through for them?

Neighbors.
Church groups.
The Amish.
The Cajun Navy.
Shawn Hendricks.
Samaritan's Purse.
MercuryOne.

The Mission Mules hauling insulin up washed-out roads, ONLY ACCESSIBLE by mules.

Greg Biffle burning his own fuel in helicopters.

Veterans like Adam Smith who organized helicopter rescues with other veterans BY HIMSELF and then was demonized by the media for it.

Volunteers like Jake Jarvis working TO THIS DAY, 550 days later without ANY PAY AT ALL.

THOSE ARE THE STORIES FROM HURRICANE HELENE WORTH TELLING.

But 60 Minutes won't tell ANY OF THEM.

Because the truth makes the federal government the villain and the "deplorables" are actually the heroes in this story and they can NEVER admit that.

So instead they smeared the rescuers as white nationalists.

This is unforgivable.

I was there. I saw it with my own eyes.

And I will BE DAMNED if I let CBS rewrite the history of what happened to my mountains.

🚨 U.S. cracks down on CCP influence in American tech.

The FCC just voted today to ban ALL Chinese labs from testing electronics sold in the U.S. — smartphones, cameras, computers, you name it.

75% of all U.S. electronics are currently tested in China.

That ends now.

Approvals will be fast-tracked for devices tested in America or trusted allied countries. 🧵

🚨🇯🇵🇺🇸The Chinese Communist government continues its propaganda by indoctrinating children and instilling hatred toward the United States and Japan.

Many teachers are tasked with showing so-called "patriotic education" videos. When the screen displays the slogan "I want them to repay blood with blood," students rise as if possessed and chant, "Repay blood with blood" in unison.
