In the 1960's-1970's the papers were 10 cents. In the 1980's-1990's they were 35 cents. In the 2000's they were 75 cents. Modern day? $6.00. Be happy with your 35 cent paper, Little Italy.

If you're wondering, my dumb ass did this on google docs instead of just using something like photoshop, gimp, photopea, etc. So, yeah, instead of having an easy psd file to edit easily I have to slave over dogwater google features to do these. 

So yeah, here's a look into the real-world events in 1989. Yes, the first fucking article there is talking about artificial intelligence. I encourage you to go ranting about how NASA and the government want to replace you all with computers.

Computers have always existed to take away mundane or redundant and time consuming jobs. There was a time people couldn’t wait to be replaced because we thought the economy would balance it out. That… does not seem to be the case.

Just gonna put this here.

We should make our own Divergian version of these by editing this source material into IC papers and spreading them with typewriters. I’m sure that’s kinda the point of this but we can do less direct ripping and make it a fun project. I know one of my characters would be willing to do a gaming zine as a hobby

I used to but it got incredibly boring, and I don't want to spend 15k on taxes weekly on a RP-focused business that doesn't sell drugs en masse every day.

Honestly, fair. If there’s zero incentive then it’s just a labor of love. So if you don’t love it, leave it.
