I really strongly believe that Super Metroid is still what modern search action/metroidvanias/whatever aspire to be it does so much with so little, even if people have learned how to fly through it nowadays

only thing blue line i recognize 🫡

There’s at least 15 of these…

less "hillary/kamala warned us about all of this!!" more "every single 'lunatic leftie protestor' for the past three decades warned us about all of this in unsettlingly clear-eyed fashion and were derided for it"

i think if your goons are stealing babies you should not get to reform the goons

TALLY HO

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

weird i must've been out sick when they first asked for permission to fuck up the power grid

Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

We have an executive branch that's on a crime spree against the American public. The other branches of government can use their constitutional powers to put a stop to this. If they decline to do that the only other remedy is in the declaration of independence

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

Vote for you why? So you can fund the war against us? Oppose. Abolish and prosecute ICE, impeach and remove and refuse to seat Republicans, pack the Supreme Court, imprison Trump and his cabinet, defund the police; fight the fight before us and win in a massive landslide or gtfo forever.

I refuse to accept anything other than the resignation and immediate retirement of all of these fucking corporate candy-ass Democratic cowards. They’ve lost the right to do anything but get out of the way and live in disgrace for the rest of their days.

abolish ice but also the entirety of DHS. They were founded in the xenophobia/kleptocracy patriot act spree of 2002 and never should have existed to begin with.

Remember when the line was "there's nothing you Luddites can do about this, enjoy being poor"

Dudes rock.

Just gonna keep running these forever huh www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/o...

LRP: again i note that maine is one of if not THE whitest state per capita in the entire country. ICE targeting here is *super* targeted. even this level of homogenity is not enough for these shitheads and it never was. you cannot appease them and every attempt to do so was idiotic at *best*.

one of the most hilarious* things about america and its preoccupation of being The Most Freedom Country is that it has an unprecedented surveillance network that is trivially available to government that government didn't even have to pay for, it tricked its citizens/residents into buying it

tourists: our hobby is being infiltrated by the wokes! divorced Liverpudlian dad who's been playing since 1991: here's how you can make 5L of nuln oil from 20$ art supplies

I once asked a 4th ed vet what he thought of female space marines and he said 'hell yeah more plastic babes'

bus saga

Iykyk, but the one thing I've learned about game dev very early on is that if there's a big controversial writing decision, the writing team will have flagged it, they were ignored, and they will be the ones blamed regardless

Oh MAN if this happens while I'm in class I hope the teacher forgives me because all work in that class is fucking DONE

I’m tired of being talked down to by people like this. They are doing the Elon Musk Mars In 2 Years bit but have tied the entire U.S. economy to a bespoke compliment generator. It’s time to start talking about these AI mutants like delusional babies.

i don't know how you could watch a video of minnesotans strugging to protect their neighbours and entertain an idea like "I hope americans are ready to be hated". If you can't see yourself in their fight, draw strength from it, stand in solidarity, how can you possibly fight fascism anywhere else

evergreen

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

ive got a guy playing the mdickie wrestling game in a separate monitor while i work. he pushed a guy onto the subway tracks, killed him, and then attended his funeral so he could steal his coffin, drag it back to the subway tracks, and run it over again

I remain convinced that the primary reasons most films look like garbage now is because very few people know how to do traditional lighting and even if they did they won’t take the time ($) to do it that way with the right gear.

These people aren’t just devoid of empathy, they don’t believe it actually exists. They also took a $50K bonus to terrorize immigrants. So the idea that regular people would spontaneously come to the aid and defense of their neighbors is just utterly foreign to them.

of the moral conundrums you will be presented with, as an adult, "stop buying these specific children's toys" is like. the easiest possible

This is known to be a deliberate strategy. The links are right there, but people STILL don't actually like... do anything with that information. atmos.earth/political-la...

found out the vamp fatale/honey b lovely ship name is beedsm and i'm crying that's so good

Part of why it's so important to actively punish bigotry- in this case the massive disinvestment from North Carolina in response to their bathroom bill - is that it disincentivizes others from behaving similarly. When bigotry goes unpunished or even rewarded, it spreads. Silence is complicity.

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

me (bursting open my apartment window like ebenezer scrooge): you there, boy! did it happen? boy (gloomily): no sir

When has it ever been the responsibility of the consumer to adopt a product, rather than the responsibility of the business to create a product the consumer wants???

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index

A reminder that GenAI exists solely so that CEOs don't have to pay creative and skilled people for labor. And it's up to us as consumers to generate as much backlash against this shit as humanly possible.
