The idea that Ghost of Yotei is "made for activists" when it's clearly "made for guys with imported DVD collections" is proof these folks are blind. This is the most "I have all the japanese movies in the Criterion Collection" game to exist, from waht I've seen.

I once pulled an all-nighter where I designed an entire museum exhibit of a anonymous fraternal organization based on archived works I only had access during business hours, from memory, using a god-killing amount of caffeine. The AI can't even convert green tea into pedagogue, and I'm to revere it?

Fundamentally, games area a luxury good, and folks like yourself who do a boatload of gaming because you are a streamer are super outliers who benefit more from the "subscription service" approach to than the rest of us.

Once you get far enough in, the training wheels fall off and you get to do some stuff, but I do feel like it's way too linear for a very lengthy amount of time. I do think you'll enjoy XII, even if it has a funky approach to combat.

I made it to the last boss, realized I didn't grind enough, and gave up, tbh.

Rich guy who thinks he earned it all. Weird guy with tech degree who thinks it's civilization's fault he doesn't fit in. Conspiracy guy that has no discernible logic to anything. Guy who thinks he's a great evangelist for misquoting other people.

I don't mind vegetarian/vegan recipes, and I've never understood the rage at letting other people eat their food. We all gotta eat something.

As someone who doesn't observe much of anything, I'm curious, what are the symbols associated with Yom Kippur? I know menorah's are for Hanukah.

Fundamentally, I don't really pin 2024 on Harris so much as I feel Biden's decision to run, not run, and then throw a hail mary is what cost us the whole thing. But yeah, I wish Harris had done the right thing. I wish anyone with power had.

In interviews, Aonishiki has said he watches tapes of other wrestlers. Dude is super analytical in the ring, it's fascinating.

I kind of want to buy edibles from the comms guy who came up with this. Gonna need a three-day weekend for it, though.

I don't know which side of the road they drive on in China, so I'm unsure if this is the first car-to-car torpedo system, or the world's only ankle-height crowd control weapon agaisnt pedestrians.

Man, and I thought Akua's salt throws were show stoppers, yowsa.

I hope you had a blast. This Bassho has been phenomenal, honestly.

It was a surprisingly normal match, those two regularly go full looney tunes. Also, Aonishiki is looking at a long stay in the Sanyaku if he can stay healthy, dude has phenomenal instincts and technique.

I'd say there's a non-zero chance that Paul McCartney and Warren Buffet could do it a second time around, but it's not a given in either aspect.

A lot of folks bringing up the Rapture today, but honestly? Purgatory with extra steps.

I think part of it is the pectoral exposure. It's like the masculine equivalent of plate mail with a boob window.

Yeah, there's still a pretty good argument it's ego all the way down in both circumstances, it's just feels more farcicial because the overall energy is significantly more shallow.

If you believe there's a neurotypical explanation for Leonardo Da Vinci, then I've got a bridge or thirty to sell you.

Mussolini wanted Hobbes' Leviathan, manifest with him as the idol atop it. Trump wants people in Hollywood to indulge his vanity more sincerely. This is truly the shallowest of banal evils.

Keith Haring art on a Kesho-Mawashi is one I haven't seen before. Cool pick, honestly.

Abi has been having a rough time this Basho. I feel like something's up with his arms. The weirdest part of Div-1 to me this basho though is Ryuden, who has both been doing decent (not weird) and has had matches I enjoy watching (much weirder).

It's not that I've kept all of them so much as I've lost each of them in a place of permanence.
