    Tonight on the GeekNights Book Club, we discuss Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072 Despite several compelling aspects, its ultimately was a frustrating read which we discuss at length. That said, it's important to have post-apocalyptic works that imagine a better world rather than a worse one, however naive some of the interrogation of the subject ends up being.Related LinksForum ThreadEverything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York CommuneDiscord ChatEverything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York CommuneBluesky PostEverything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York CommuneThings of the DayRym - dogs with a loving family when the frontdoor is slightly openScott - ET Book is a Bembo-like font

    14/05/2025 Duração: 53min

  • Heat: Pedal to the Metal (2022)

    02/04/2025 Duração: 01h03min

    Tonight on GeekNights, we review Heat: Pedal to the Metal (2022). It's a car racing game with well-tuned push-your-luck mechanics that is definitely worth a play. It's even better over multiple races. In the news, Cory Booker heroically and historically holds the Senate floor for over 24 hours in a powerful rebuke of Donald Trump's fascism (beating Strom Thurmond's vile "record"). Also torpedo bats are a deeply baseball thing to happen, Nintendo Direct number 1 brings virtual game cards and a bunch of games, and Nintendo Direct 2 will announce the Switch 2.Related LinksForum ThreadHeat: Pedal to the Metal (2022)Discord ChatHeat: Pedal to the Metal (2022)Bluesky PostHeat: Pedal to the Metal (2022)Things of the DayRym - Behind-The-Back SaveScott - Famicom 3D System
