Ugh. Thanks, yeah that's good enough for me without even opening xcancel. My search for "Tim Sweeney conservative" only dredged up his land conservation purchases and the "stop being so divisive" / "no politics in art" dogwhistles which had previously made me suspicious, but I had mostly forgotten about. I quit Twitter many years ago so I missed that whole knobslobbering saga and didn't think to include Musk
after skimming today's shitty Google "search" results.
Ah fuck, and Carmack too? Goddamn it. Twist the knife a little harder.
Fucking tech bros, always ruining tech.
That has also always been my gut feel about Carmack, but it still sucks to see the evidence. I wish that gut feeling would stop being so dammed accurate, but it gets a lot of practise.
Doom was definitely christofascist fantasy porn. At least Quake you were defending invasion from the most literal manifestation of eugenicist Space-Nazis possible. Yes I am choosing to disregard the inherent US military fetishism because I don't want to ruin my formative media which I deep down always knew was problematic.
sigh
Can I at least keep the soundtracks as pleasant and untarnished memories?
