your dead AI mother loves you so much ❤️

Hey Buddy! That door will only open when you shoot at with the phase beam upgrade. You should return here after you have collected that. By the way, Metroid is the name of the monster not the--

I made a joke in my main Discord server about DOOM E1M1 being in a major key and @abigbagofkeys.sickonedude.com actually made it. Jesus fucking Christ listen to this hahahaha

Any other time, any other President, and "the dude was in a global conspiracy to fuck them kids" would have been 24/7 coverage. Even Dubya. I remember the fucking Lewinsky coverage. Our media have become craven hacks carrying water for rich pedophiles and I feel insane typing that but there it is.

if you tax billionaires and trillionaires you'll generate an absolute shitton of new millionaires

Discord on my phone popped up a message saying it had just "enhanced" itself, and now literally all text in any options screen is missing. Great job, folks.

The best way journalists can support indie games is to cover more than whatever the current indie hits/darlings of the moment are. Games like Hades, Blue Prince, and Silksong do not need help with visibility, but discoverability is the biggest challenge facing many indie devs today.

"American girls have to sell sex to the nominee for attorney general of the United States to get braces" sounds like Soviet propaganda

I absolutely adore the two seasons of this we got, and I will watch anything Rian Johnson does but Natasha Lyonne will always be Charlie Cale to me.

I enjoyed the first season of the Fallout show a lot more than I expected to, and that trailer for season 2 looks fantastic.

As a reminder, there is no legislative backing to this. Exact change is still required. It's just that everyone will be struggling to find enough pennies to do it correctly. And we'll all have to muddle through haphazardly.

His Story 🤷‍♂️

I do love the cute little numerical nods to all the previous Anno games in 117’s achievements. Hard to top the ingame diegetic scores from prior games being a culture reward in Anno 1800 though.

Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"

(man tapping temple jpeg) Can't have bad numbers if you don't have any numbers at all.

A big reason proc gen feels so different to AI in spite of superficial similarities is exactly this!! Proc Gen systems reflect the interests and creative preferences of the tool makers, whereas AI is catch-all sludge that reflects no specific point of view. It’s not remotely the same!

Fortunately, I already figured out the plots of the next several Toy Story films

Finished the last Rise of the Golden Idol DLC, and it was another fantastic one. It's too bad that was the last DLC for the game, I want to throw more money at the screen and get more amazing little deduction mysteries!

My last word on the matter

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels. The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Honestly my only complaint about the radio stations in Outer Worlds 2 is that some of the spoken word "skits" on them, while great the first time, are a little long for how often they repeat. And that's just picking nits, it's an incredible part of the game.

From last repost, actually here's a better link for the full song of "Fibonacci" from Outer Worlds 2 www.youtube.com/watch?v=eguC...

Probably my favorite song on an OST absolutely FULL of stunningly good songs with excellent lyrics - something practically unheard of for game soundtracks.

I see a lot of folks saying this will hurt Dems in the midterms and frankly I’m not sure that’s true - if anything, it shows the depth to which people are angry and engaged and wanting to fight these assholes but it does substantially increase the chance they will be voting for different Democrats

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I wish Del Toro’s Frankenstein was a more comprehensive look at the monster’s life. They never cover when he met Abbott and Costello, for example.

How does this make any sense to anyone?!?!

Really good writeup answering the main WTF question I had about tonight’s news, which was why did Justice Jackson, of all people, issue a stay to block SNAP funding.

Wow, Plur1bus. That was something else! Can’t wait to see where they are going with it.

Donate cash to your local food banks / pantries if you can, folks. The federal govt and corrupt SCOTUS are doing the best they can to starve our most vulnerable among our own citizens. Monstrous.

If EVERY Catholic priest in the DC metro area DOESN’T preach on Matthew 5-7*† this weekend, they have not only lost the opportunity to be true spiritual leaders, they are aiding in the damnation of 5 SCOTUS judges. *someone can go Matthew 14 for loaves & fishes. † Sermon on the Mount

so, yes, at a basic level I think Tuesday showed that we can vote our way out of this and so we have to be clearer than ever about making sure the people we vote in are willing to do what's necessary to rebuild - packing the court, adding states, etc. or we'll find ourselves right back here

Not now, carnivorous death ball

There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

NOBODY SPEAK, NO BODY GET CHOKED

RIP anything trying to release holiday 2026, and also LOL to everyone who was carefully dodging the old release date

The judge DENIES the government a stay. SNAP must be fully paid by TOMORROW.

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.

A massive economic bubble is on the verge of bursting, a new Simpsons movie is on the horizon, and someone decided to start manufacturing plastic drums again. I've seen enough. 2007 Part II is finally here.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Ellis is concluding, with John Adams words to his wife in 1775 about the need to fight for the nascent American democracy. "Liberty once lost is lost forever."

I have lost count of the number of times that Ellis has said the Trump administration's arguments "lack credibility."

Wow this is quite a litany of abuses for a judge to roll out as findings of fact right out of the gate. Hope we see some actual consequences.

Is there really no way to pick a different start date / age in EU5? I must be missing something?

This is a fun chart! The green is the main bsky load balancer traffic throughput from Saturday night, and the purple is how much traffic there was 7 days before (the previous Saturday) The spike is due to the world series - pretty incredible! ⚾

What we know, 3pm on Wednesday: [In 4 parts] —CA's Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG —Dems defend NJ-Gov —Dems gain leg seats in VA & NJ —Dems win NJ & VA trifectas —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win state supreme court —ME anti-mail voting measure loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices
