Big announcement this week, starting February 1st the HWIDG Patreon will be back up and collecting donations, please edit your subscriptions as you see fit, and thank you for your support.This week El Chaco are back in 2025 and bringing in a big episode talking about... Reparations Playing God Command Track Victim points are all the rage, and they'll continue to be as long as we keep giving into this delusion that you are somehow owed for having a bad experience. In the same vein as trying to get an apartment because you were on the hours long sinking of the Andrea Doria, the gimmies are out here trying to capitalize on events a century gone by. This is absurd, the only person to blame for your circumstances is yourself, take responsibility and move on. It's the Year 2125, HWIDG has been on the internet for 107 years. The Patreon is at nearly 200 space dollars. Tab and Chaco are hooked to dozens of machines barely alive, eyes held open to an endless stream of AI Generated rage bait, so the show may go on. Are they alive? Technically yes. Is life worth living? Not at all. Why are we trying to extend life, when we haven't even gotten rid of the things that make life crap? Maybe we should work on improving today, instead of gaining endless tomorrows. Someone once spoke on power corrupting, someone else once spoke about how those who seek power are the least qualified to wield it. Both of those have been rattling around my head for the last 5 years as I've moved more and more into management. This vicious cycle of earning more, and living better has pushed me from the simple console jockey I once was, into a leader, and I gotta say it sucks. At the end of the day someone has to make the tough choices, and I think I'm better at it than someone who wants to make the tough choices, so I guess I'll just keep going. All of that plus, News, Your voicemails, and as I said February 1st the Patreon will return to offset the costs of producing the show.
