>@ID_AA_Carmack Lots of people think 640x480 16 color is real mode. TempleOS is long mode. God said 640x480 was a covenant like circumcision.
I do wonder though, some of the stuff he says not only has high comedic value, but is incredibly stereotypical of both angry disenfranchised nerds and right wing nuts, and has me wondering if it's just an epic troll job...

A delusion is a non-real thought that you perceive as true. Things like "I am Napoleon" or "The people on the roof across the street are talking about me" or "The CIA is watching me" are examples of delusions.
Schizophrenia is a profound delusional disorder where your entire mind is completely disorganized. Telling reality from the delusions are impossible because they are coming from the same brain hardware.

I wish this was a feature on HN actually. It'd be nice if some accounts had the ability to "un-dead" a comment, in the same way that some accounts can flag or unflag posts and comments now.
I browse with showdead on and occasionally run across a comment from a submitter where the submitter was hellbanned for a specific incident but the comment itself is worthwhile.
A lot of his comments are "words direct from god" as determined by the random number generator in his OS.
