Gonna crack open a Zima, put on some Boyz II Men, and smoke some cloves tonight.

And hit up the Internet Archive library of MS-DOS games....

Fans of Shamir (Bailey) may recognize this artist, as they are currently signed to Shamir’s label, Accidental Popstar.




This is the first song on the album and it’s everything. Somehow sounds like Cher in the 90s had a baby with New Order to me? I can’t explain it.

Anyway, check it out. Album was released on Friday… and it’s a lot of fun! Available for pre-order here: Macy Rodman - Unbelievable Animals LP

Where can I find the thinkpieces about how the piece of software that bonds an entire generation was really indoctrinating us in how colonialism and the rape of a continent were actually good in fact?

Manifest destiny bitches!

No worries though, they fixed it.

The Oregon Trail Generation newsletter had one last month.

Manifest Destiny is an awesome comic.

Really, all Oregon Trail did for me was give me an exaggerated fear of dysentery.

I don’t know dysentery seems pretty scary.

I don’t know dysentery seems pretty scary.

Sure, if you have it. But I'm not sure an eight-year old kid from Connecticut is going to pick it up. Maybe from a bus station toilet seat? I don't know how these things work!

It’s parasitic… so yeah, still fucking terrifying.

Completely agree!

I was serious about Manifest Destiny being an awesome comic. It’s about Lewis and Clark’s expedition except that the US is full of terrors.

And mythical and Lovecraftian beasts. I figured someone will eventually turn it into a terrible overly CGIed PG 13 blockbuster.

Whenever I died from dysentery on the Oregon trail I always made my tombstone read

“I died of runny poooooooop”

My 8 year old brain always found it funny to see how many “o”s the program would limit me to or imagining the poor guy chiseling out that many “o”s in poop in a limestone slab 100 mile short of Chimney Rock.

I picked up the TPB of vol 1 when it came out and liked it but never went back for more. This is a good reminder to go back and check it out.

My sister actually got dysentery earlier this year from the shigella bacteria. Not good times for her and ended up in the ER for dehydration it’s still pretty common, we are just much better at treating GI stuff.

edit: I should note that there were so many Oregon Trail jokes after she got a little better!

I just had a coworker and his 3 kids all under three y/o get shiga-toxin producing E coli, and all were hospitalized for a couple weeks. One of the kids had to get flown to Seattle Childrens Hospital, almost needed dialysis. Thankfully, they’re all home now and on the mend, but it was scary for a bit

It's a good hospital.

Yeah, my now 15 year old had a brain tumor removed there when he was 2. Needless to say, we LOVE Seattle Childrens.
