I don’t know if boykissing will solve their birth rate problems.

For now. Morons in Alberta fly Confederate flags, they’re getting fed the same right-wing bullshit. Everyone thought the Republicans would respect the transfer of power until January 6th.

Not technically gameplay or genre based, but god I fucking hate games made in Unreal Engine, because they often have a shit-ton of extra post-processing effects going on that you just cannot turn off. There’s been a lot of games that I’ve had to set down forever because the combination of bad FOV and being unable to fix the motion blur/ambient occlusion/film grain(don’t get me started) just makes them nauseating to look at for too long.

I worked as a clerk in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy firm as a summer gig during college. The vast majority of my job was reviewing and cataloguing all of the debts that had been accumulated by the debtors of a case. While some of it was the stereotypical “too many credits cards, too many mortgages,” the vast, vast majority was people collapsing under the weight of medical debt. Just day after day of going through and seeing how much survival had cost someone.

The worst was when the person died, and the debtor was the significant other who had been supporting their partner in a battle that they lost. Those people hurt my heart the most.

I didn’t manage to last the whole summer.

It hasn’t been a serious franchise since Wacraft 2 Tides of Darkness, it’s always had a goofy art-style alongside lots of silly gags and pop culture references.

If you ask a friend to help you bury a body and they agree, that person is definitely a good friend. They’re a bad person for assisting you in murder, but you can be a good friend and a bad person.

honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it’s about as likely as 2 undecillion.

I know there were some rumors that the game might get re-launched free-to-play, but I feel like that was just going to cause Concord to flop twice. The game already had a free open beta that nobody played, relaunching now would just be throwing more good money after bad.

It’s a shame to shut down the studio though, especially when none of it seems like their fault. They delivered the shitty overwatch clone corporate asked for, and now they’re going to lose their jobs for fulfilling the brief. Meanwhile the dumbass execs who wanted Concord get to keep failing upwards.

We dismissed

No, the Democratic Party and enlightened centrists dismissed the threat. There were people like me rallying against this bullshit since George W Bush stole the 2000 election. Some of us were able to hear these crazies clearly and realized what they wanted. We were told to shut up and stop overreacting.

Being able to say “I told you so” isn’t much of a salve when you’re starting down the barrel of a totalitarian regime, but don’t paint us all as rubes. People were sounding the alarm, they were ignored.

You continue living without having to entertain hateful bigots? It’s worked out pretty great for me.

You don’t. Most of us have already either fully cut-off contact with Trump supporting family members or limit our interaction with them heavily. Our country is rotted to the core, and this election won’t be the end of it. Even if Harris wins, there will be contestion of the results. There may even be a successful coup by the Republican party. A civil war is not out of the question.

There is no normal. There won’t be ever again.

My ancestors are smiling upon my Imperial. Can you say the same?

It was a lie from the start, it only ever applied to a few wealthy old white men who didn’t want any cuts to their profit margins after the British fought a costly war to defend them from French and Native retaliation.

You don’t have to pay people to generate good reviews. You can also just only choose to give review keys to friendly media outlets you’ve already built a relationship and know will treat you uncritically.

Except the North didn’t want mass executions and was willing to let the South keep their institutions.

I can assure you, Israel’s neighbors would be more than happy to burn it to the ground. So while you could dissolve the Zionist state, you would have to do so while still supporting the defense of Israel, or else you’d just switch from a massacre of Palestinians to a massacre of Jews.

I found it pretty enjoyable, but never finished because the plot begins to drag towards the midpoint of the game. I actually really enjoyed the combat and the layered systems, but once you get to a point where you can just hardcore train your character for a few weeks, the game quickly loses all challenge.

You say you drink it regularly, have you ever tried to stop? If you suddenly experience headaches and shakes after, I’ve bad news for you.

The thing is, caffeine addiction is so heavily normalized and encouraged by our capitalist society that most people do not realize they’re addicted. They consume caffeinated products with enough regularity that they never crave it, and you’re only ever encouraged to stop if you develop a health issue.

There’s a really great video by Filmcow that explains how hope is a poison for the mind. I think we’re living in a pretty hopeless world, and trying to desperately cling to the pretense that things will change without action from ourselves is dangerous and naive. If there’s something about the world that you passionately want to change and you’re not working to correct it, you will only disappoint yourself by hoping someone else will change it for you. Give up hope and embrace action.

It was never going to surpass Windows or MacOS, but it has been steadily growing in usage rate. I think now it’s at 5% of the market, largely off the back of Valve’s Steam Decks which may or may not count as desktop by your definition.

It’s just too technical to catch on for mainstream users, and that’s honestly fine. I think everyone would prefer Linux offer freedom instead of simplicity.

I mean the clear and obvious answer is that the Democratic Party didn’t plan for shit. Their plan was running Biden again with their only platform being “We’re Not Trump.” In the years since January 6th, they’ve done nothing to safeguard our democracy, while Republicans have fervently planned for a coup.
