The game is available for $10 on Steam on both Windows and Mac and has sold ~30,000 copies.
The title of the game is a reference to a prior game made by Love called "Digital: A Love Story" which is set in the golden age of dialup BBSes, I haven't finished this one though.
Analogue is set in a space-age future. But without spoiling too much, although it has mechanics somewhere in between a Japanese "dating sim" and a "visual novel", and also features a command line interface at points, the topical focus of the game is feminism. Although it takes place in the future, you spend your time analyzing the logs of a space ship whose inhabitants have, for many generations, reverted to a society virtually identical to medieval Korea. A girl from a more modern time is forced to live in this environment.
You interact with the two female AI, *Hyun-ae and *Mute, one of which is decidedly liberal (and enjoys cosplay), and the other of which is in charge of security for the medieval regime and strongly supportive of their old-fashioned ways. They will each grill you on how you morally interpret the events recorded in the game. In the end, it is up to YOU which of these lovely ladies you prefer! Or... can you get both?

--Elois?
--Yeah, Elois. E and Lois. We called her Lady E.
--Where was she from? Compton?
--She's from Ladora Heights.
--Ladora Heights. The black Beverly Hills.
--It's not the black Beverly Hills. It's the black Palos Verdes. Anyway... Lady E, she was a man-eater-upper. Un-fuckin'-believable. Every guy who ever saw her had to jack off to her at least once. You know who she looked like? Christie Love. Remember that TV show? Get Christie Love... about the black female cop? She always used to say,
--"You're under arrest, sugar!"
--What was the name of the chick who played Christie Love?
--Pam Grier.
--No it wasn't Pam Grier. Pam Grier was the other one. Pam Grier did the film. Christie Love was like Pam Grier TV Show without Pam Grier.
--So who was Christie Love?
--How the fuck should I know?
--Great. Now I'm totally fucking tortured.
--Whoever it was, she looked exactly like Elois.
--Anne Francis.
--No. That was Honey West.
--Anne Francis is white.
--I'm tryin' to tell a story here. She looked exactly like Elois. We come into the club one night... and there's Carlos, the bartender. He's a wetback. He's a friend of mine. I says to him, "Carlos, where's Lady E tonight?" Apparently Lady E was married to real piece of dogshit, a real animal. He used to do things to her.
--Like what? What would he do?
--Beat her up?
--I don't know. He just did things. So anyway, one night she plays it real cool. She waits for him to get drunk. He falls asleep on the fuckin' couch. She sneaks up on him, puts superglue on his dick and glues his dick to his belly.
--Jesus Christ!
--I'm serious, man. I'm dead serious. They had to call the paramedics to cut the prick loose.
--Was he all pissed off?
--How would you feel if you had to do a fuckin' handstand to take a piss?

this is one of those things where the story afterwards sounds kind of cool until you remember what playing eve and being in an mmo guild are actually really like, and then its disgusting

Not properly inflation because it was not based on expansion of the money supply. It was a change of valuation in the currency itself, but we should be careful not to just call this "deflation" and "inflation" if we want those words to retain their true meaning. To do otherwise is disingenuous, pretends an esoteric currency is directly comparable to mainstream currency and betrays a lack of knowledge in what inflation actually is.

I defend bitcoin mainly because of all the bad economics its critics use, the same people who have been forecasting its imminent, permanent crash for years now and I guess still believe they are right

A Florida man "obsessed with Fox News and the Republican party" felt that his girlfriend was too "liberal" -- so he decided he had to kill her.
The report recounts several incidents in which Kappheim allegedly arrived "stark naked" at the home of his girlfriend's friend, choked his girlfriend and told her that he would "kill her and burn her home," the Palm Beach Post reports.
Kappheim explained to a sheriff’s deputy, “He was very conservative, and his girlfriend was liberal and he felt he was going to have kill her," according to the arrest affidavit, according to WPTV.

the pyramid scheme isnt as impressive as how the guy managing the trust was also running a distributed mining operation to launder everything he stole, hes a definite genius

lol i guess "an unencrypted backup of the wallet keys (the actual keys live in an encrypted area)" sounds better than 'i straight up stole ur internet money' but not by much
