   So many years ago an American teenager made a DOS game about shooting brown people in the wake of 9/11. 3D Realms gave him permission to distribute his game (a stand alone Duke 3D total conversion) for free. He then went on to make essentially the same game about Saddam. I always wanted to make a video about that, but never knew how to approach the subject.

     (2/2) And every time I consider it over the years, something else would happen:
     - He would erect a noose in front of a mosque
     - He served in the army
     - He became an elected politician
     - He wrote for Bertbort
     - He sued to get schools open during the first year of Covid

     And now the guy... started a retro PC youtube channel, and just followed me on Twitter.
     WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!

     @Sonikku That's been my solution for over a decade now. Probably for the best.

     @dosnostalgic hmm. I’d tread quite carefully. The line between general shitposting to true believer and stalking can happen real dang quick.

     Probably best not to attract that kind of attention?
