eschaton posted:you can still get a TI-99/4A new in box for cheap if you want to try janky the msx platform was originally designed by microsoft and was popular in south america and parts of europe too, so it is kind of weird that it never caught on in the us e: apparently yamaha did try to sell a couple of msx computer models in the us, but they were marketed as music computers and only sold in music stores e2: there's also a homebrew community that ports games between the msx, coleco and sega sg-1000 because the hardware in all of them is almost identical The_Franz fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Dec 22, 2017 |

I think i can kind of understand the mindset behind old fashioned femdom relationships, like the guy gets off on being bossed around and humiliated and treated like poo poo by the woman, and that's fine I get that. But lately I've been hearing about financial dom and this kinda stuff where the whole deal is you just funnel money to a woman and at best she calls you a wanker and maybe she never even acknowledges that you exist except to demand more money. And it's like... of course that's where that kink would eventually lead, because the whole kink is predicated not on sex, but the experience of being humiliated; and just getting your balls stomped on is gonna get old after a while so you gotta find new ways to be humiliated. But it's like drat, dude, now you achieve sexual release through the blockchain, and sexuality has become this thoroughly postmodern thing. I dunno where I'm going with this really except that the future is wild as poo poo, and I love it.

I feel like the whole findom thing is getting a lot more play because sex workers (and, let's face it, a lot of amateurs wanting to dip their toes into sex work) see it as more lucrative for less actual work. It's like game devs designing their games around fleecing whales with microtransactions, if every one-person game developer with a half-finished game on Steam filled that game with microtransactions).
