Rambo III for DOS genuinely surprised me.
I’d previously played the Commodore 64 version—a predictable top-down shooter with decent graphics for the old brown breadbox, but nothing remarkable.
The DOS version, released in 1989, really stands out. It supports VGA graphics and AdLib sound, delivering crisp colors and catchy music that were impressive for the time.
What blew me away, though, was the control options. Not only does it support keyboard and joystick, but you can also move and shoot using the mouse—a rarity for the platform back then. Even better, it actually works pretty well by the standards of the day.
Rambo III came out in many versions: arcade, Master System, Genesis. The computer versions are mostly similar, each carrying quirks unique to their platforms—you could find it on Atari ST, Amiga, MSX, C64, Amstrad CPC, and even ZX Spectrum.
The DOS release covers CGA, EGA, and VGA graphics modes plus a variety of sound options, offering a surprisingly eclectic experience. While critics favored the Genesis version, I think the DOS port holds its own. It’s more than playable and can deliver some solid fun.

Interview: Kshama Sawant on Zohran Mamdani: Winning requires a "fighting strategy", namely, understanding that:
Capitalism is a zero-sum game - You cannot hope to win substantial reforms for working class people by imagining you can sweet talk billionaires into agreement.
In addition, the duopoly, despite their differences, represents billionaires.

Mamdani’s alignment with the Democratic Party is a worry.
"Goundbreaking campaigns, like those of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez & Bernie Sanders, have fallen short of delivering promises for working-class people once in office."
“The Democratic Party is a party of capitalism itself. The working class loses out more & more & is subjected to more & more misery with every passing decade."

I'm very worried.
I mean, at this point if any holder of a significant office doesn't play ball with the establishment how long would they last? Even just physically, come to that.
I take your point. However, sweetheart deals over decades with the billionaire class have clearly made things worse for the working class.
Imo, there's no alternative to fighting this fascist, likely psychopathic class.
And there're only several hundred of them. Their entire operation could be shut down by people power - massive strikes, mass disobedience, massive BDS, etc etc etc.
This is true.
It's really too bad those few people have all the other billions so convinced we need something from them.
@violetmadder Indeed. Both Bernie and, in the UK, Corbyn, are examples of what happens when a politician deviates too much from what is acceptable: they simply are not allowed to even compete. Methods varied in the two cases, but the result was the same.
Imo, generalising about "all those billions" isn't useful.
Only by understanding specific dynamics can we design specific solutions.
THE twin main reasons for the maga vote are:
Dem leadership abandoned the working class
Thus abandoned, millions of gullible & desperate people put their only hope into a lying narcissistic psychopath.
The bulk of the blame is on the billionaire-bought Dem leadership, not on ppl just doing what they think will save their families.

Research shows Trump's base is mainly poorer, less educated, white men who're enraged at being abandoned by the "elites".
Arguably, the maga base's gullibility & ignorance is related to Dem leadership's 50 years obeying the ruling-class assault on public education.*

Precisely.
Have I mentioned you're awesome BTW? Having folks around who actually get it really helps.
and that's also why Berni and Corbyn could never be allowed to win: they weren't part of the purchased establishment.

Some people talk about minimizing social media time and the associated doomscrolling, but every day Mastodon reminds me of how many kind, caring people there are. And how many I'm privileged to know on here. (And how many have adorable cats. Or dogs. Or goats.) People who appreciate the beauty around us; people who want to save the environment; people who want a good life for everyone.
It lifts me up, even when the news is horrific. Thank you all.
Feeling overwhelmed, like the worst of us make the rules for the rest of us? Like empathy feels like a curse right now? It just hurts, and you feel helpless?
You are worth fighting for. Sometimes winning doesn't look glamorous, it just looks like not giving up. Care for yourself, for the ones you love, being strong and feeling strong are not the same thing, just don't quit. I love you all, I'm sorry it's hard, but we need each other, community is essential.
