A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

Let us therefore boldly face the life of strife, resolute to do our duty well and manfully; resolute to uphold righteousness by deed and by word; resolute to be both honest and brave, to serve high ideals, yet to use practical methods. Above all, let us shrink from no strife, moral or physical, within or without the nation, provided we are certain that the strife is justified, for it is only through strife, through hard and dangerous endeavor, that we shall ultimately win the goal of true national greatness.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Speech (1899-04-10), “The Strenuous Life,” Hamilton Club, Chicago

We're 2/3 of the way through #DOSember! I still have at least one non-gaming project I want to get done before the end of the month, but I've gotta catch up on streaming too.

Planning on #GoingLive in about half an hour to play some #Strife! This is a first-person RPG made with the Doom engine, released in 1996 after a troubled production. It flopped in the market and may have been the death knell for its publisher Velocity.

1/2 Unchecked power at any level of #Governance puts the descent into a festering end state of #Corruption , #Strife and #Violence on rails. We've seen this in history on global scales and now it's here domestically with an extremely unfortunate Trifecta in the #Executive branch, #SCOTUS as primary accelerant and a barely there but again etreme toxic majority in Congress. Coincidentally with this we have the rise of #AI as destabilizing wedge wielded by zero accountability corporate entities-
