I volunteer for my town’s Finance Committee. The board is mostly retirees. They are confused why the market is down. Majority voted for 47.

I worry about govt’s misusing it. I’m still a big UBI fan, but after seeing it employed in Captain Laserhawk, it made me aware of how it can be a cudgel of a corrupt govt as well.
You’re free to like / dislike whatever. As another gamer with thousands of hours, but specifically both these genres, I would say this:
- Dark Souls as a metaphor for overcoming depression is one of the most emotionally fulfilling experiences I’ve had in my life, and this is specifically DS1. It’s a unique game, with a unique PoV, and really incredible pacing & world design for its release date.
- I enjoy the “rogue” genre because as a gamer, it requires me to understand the game rules / mechanics and then overcome them. This genre is also very wide, so there’s games that only focus on game knowledge (auto battles or strategy, e.g. Into the Breach) or game’s that also require technical input on top of that knowledge (Binding of Isaac). Some of the best that I’ve played do a great job of making you feel smart for “breaking” the game, but that ability to break it is part of the game itself.
It’s your life, so play & enjoy what you play & enjoy. However, you’re speaking from a place of ignorance (you’ve stated you’ve never played them) & making a judgement (claims of low content, unnecessary difficulty). Doesn’t make a lot of sense of me, but whatever, unpopular opinion I guess. 🤷 GL;HF
Operation Cyclone again? I thought we already did this episode…
I have good friends that are Kurdish immigrants who fled Saddam, but this won’t work. It’ll be the same shit, arming another group, spreading wars, and creating ripple effects we can’t perceive.
The thumbnail really feels like I can see the evil affecting her physically, like Palpatine. I know it’s a bad angle, worn makeup, and she’s getting older, but the rate of aging increased for lying daily feels like an adequate Pinocchio’s curse for someone who likely did care a lot once.
I really hope those whole regime melts physically, thus lowering their charisma & influence. 47 has certainly made comb-overs and hats work so far to cover his obvious balding, but his makeup is getting worse every day.
I recreated a website on the anti-Christ into a slide deck. It has biblical quotes for identifying the AC. I would argue there’s more evidence for a particular reading that may not align with a MAGA Republican’s reading.
I’m not a Christian, but I believe the Bible is being used terribly by modern Christians. It has for a long time.

Rhetorically speaking, can we please not give them marketing campaigns? They would run this.
Side note: the “average” human has >1 skeleton within them.
The whole point of producing a warrant and identification is because criminals will copy this shit. If someone busted into my house and didn’t show documentation, then I feel fully within my rights to defend myself. How do you know they aren’t when they intrude like criminals?
I’m a privileged white person, so I’m not targeted. If I brandished a weapon, I may get a chance to explain. If I was brown or black, probably shot instantly.
I know there are many Americans like me, pissed off at this bullshit. The whole thing is fucked. I go to protests, make an impact locally. This country is rotting from the head down, so take that as you will.
Gaming literacy is a real thing. Most people who didn’t grow up with 3D games don’t intuitively understand it. I’ve seen many boomers either stare at their feet or the ceiling & they have no clue how to solve their situation because they are disoriented. Same with young kids learning.
