  FBI and DHS Are Monitoring Gamers for Signs of 'Extremism'
  
  from @lucasnolan
  
  Claiming it is targeting the growing threat of violent extremism, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have established mechanisms to share information and coordinate with gaming companies and social media platforms, according to a recent Government Accountability Office (GAO) report.

  For a short time there was a Shareware Store next to Cub Foods I used to do my weekly groceries, in Arlington Heights IL. One day I walked in there to see if I could upgrade the 4 MB RAM for my 486DX2 AutoCAD workstation. Then I saw they had 5.25 floppies with Slackware on it. I bought them, and I installed them to the Compaq.
  
  Shortly after I subscribed to Walnut Creek CD-ROM newsgroups archives, I ditched my Visual Basic 1.0 MS-DOS install and converted it all to Slackware, TCL-TK, and other GUI programming. I kept my Borland Turbo C and Assembler workstations.
  
  I do not play games anymore, my games of Tropico, Railroad Tycoon and Civ3 are from a bygone era. I miss them sometimes, but that's all.
  
  These days I build GNU/Debian infra and Fediverse nodes. Far more rewarding than playing games, and they cost less.

  it does sound rather sketch

  386dx50 here. you are in good company.
  
  > It was awesome, the Slackware install was playing it like a champ on crappy Compaq hardware.
  
  minus downloading all the floppy images in the cage of "hey call waiting is new!"
  
  > SimCity 4 is currently the pinnacle of city building games, nothing on the console online or in your imagination can surpass it. The MODs are still functional and awesome.
  
  that's a bold statement which in turn is making my inner sperg activate

  It is SimCity 4 Rush Hour, by EA Games. EA games has no other worthy title which is not a shame, its suspicious.
  
  I played Doom on a 386dx in 1994, after "id" released the source and it was ported to X.
  
  It was awesome, the Slackware install was playing it like a champ on crappy Compaq hardware.
  
  SimCity 4 is currently the pinnacle of city building games, nothing on the console online or in your imagination can surpass it. The MODs are still functional and awesome.
  
  I play AD0 these days, not a city building genre but still beats the console or online.

  There is not a single city simulator that can measure up to EA4 in two decades. I refuse to accept any explanation for that. ANY explanation.
  
  I only accept conspiracies.
