I will probably check it out, but the Steam reviews give the impression it's really short and lacking in replayability so I'm not very hopeful it'll scratch the same itch. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
I had only played the first 2 Katamari games (and then recently replayed the "Reroll" versions on PC) and was really looking forward to the newest Once Upon a Katamari. Unfortunately, I mostly hate the newest game and since instead of addressing any of the common complaints - like uneven level distribution, severely cluttered UI in levels, wonky physics compared to previous titles - the only developer announcements are for 2 more paid DLCs that are basically just music packs.
So, I'd also love some Katamari-like games if the official series is going to be handled so poorly and as frustrating to play.
I hope in some fashion computers and related technology drop out of mainstream appeal and are relegated to actual nerds and tinkerers again. Not in a gatekeeping sense, but just where the goals are about pushing boundaries for the sake of exploration and not solely profit and personal data acquisition motivated.
Even aside from the soap opera-like conversation, the timestamps seem pretty suspect to me. Even assuming STT input it seems unlikely both sides (especially with one being ostensibly emotionally distraught) would be reading and responding within a minute each time.

Nice proofreading, Lazlow J.
I'm just a bit too young to have been part of the BBS scene, but I've certainly done plenty of Windows re-installs. I had a friend that would wipe his Windows 98SE drive every two weeks or so, whether or not there was any instability. I recently stumbled across an old backup of some screenshots and found one where I was apparently proud of the 31 day system uptime. Best part of the transition to NT based Windows was definitely the near complete elimination of BSoDs. Kinda blocked out the bad memories of random lockups and blue screens just being an expected part of daily computing life.

doo-dah, doo-dah
To be somewhat close to on-topic with self-hosting, the oldest service I have fond memories of running was a small Hotline server.
He didn't insist on a Steam Resonance Imaging test instead?
Just remember laws evidently don't hold any real weight anymore so nothing is settled until it's settled. Here's one of many articles about intentions to block back pay: https://apnews.com/article/trump-federal-workers-back-bay-shutdown-785eb776d2312d1f68f7e91961d0a93a
Johnson, a lawyer, said he hadn’t fully read the memo but “there are some legal analysts who are saying” that it may not be necessary or appropriate to repay the federal workers.
Saved this comment from somewhere, probably Reddit:
I've actually been using the cars analogy for a couple months now and I think it's very fitting. Imagine if you were a mechanic who owned an auto shop and your average customer call went something like this:
Customer: My car isn't working and I need you to fix it immediately, this is an emergency
Mechanic: Alright sir what seems to be the problem?
Customer: I don't know, I tried to use my car on friday and it didn't work, now it's monday and I need to get to work and I can't and this needs to be fixed right now.
Mechanic: Can you start the car? Can you even get into your car? Does it make any sounds when you try to start it? Are all 4 tires there?
Customer: I don't know, I don't know what any of that stuff means, I tried to get to work and it wouldn't let me and you need to fix it now because you changed my oil 6 months ago.
Mechanic: Alright well what kind of car are you driving?
Customer: I don't know, a green one, why does that matter?
Mechanic: Please take a look at the back of your car and see if there are any letters or numbers that would indicate a vehicle model or manufacturer
Customer: Ok, my car is a SV2 87K.
Mechanic: No sir that's your license plate. My records indicate that you drive a Nissan Altima, can you confirm that the key you're using to try and get into this car says Nissan on it?
Customer: My key says Lexus but I don't see how that makes a difference, I've been using this key on this car for years and it's always worked, what did you do to my car?
I hope Mamdani has adequate security because my first reaction to this is that it's an attempt at plausible deniability for when some "unfortunate accident" befalls him. The emphasis on there not being a difference in parties, and how much they're all rooting for him, could be parlayed into encouraging everyone to just accept a republican replacement since our goals are totally in alignment, but clearly the democrats just can't take care of their own people or the citizens they represent.
Any other president and administration I'd take the comments as either sincere or just friendly empty platitudes, but this group doesn't do anything seemingly human without ulterior motives.
