Gacha Gamers nowadays don't know when licensed games used to be REAL video games

A PSP title that would get a 7/10 across from every reviewer is going to live in your brain for the next decade because it PERFECTLY fused Ace Combat and Armored Core control schemes together

Plus Klan Klang is there

This is a letter from one random loser in the House bitching at social media platforms with a vague threat backed by no actual extant legal authority. If your response to getting this letter was to immediately knee jerk ban a bunch of people, you have no business running a social media platform.

Evelyn @chipnick.com · 6d

Seems like it.

Letter to the CEOs of major us based social media platforms including BlueSky

Gentlemen,

Thank you for the service you provide to our Republic, and may God be with you and
your family. America is suffering under the dark weight of horror after the graphic, televised murder of a heroic Christian leader, Mr. Charlie Kirk. I ask that you reflect upon your own unique responsibility to participate in the very appropriate, legal and Constitutionally sound response.

Please be advised that your platforms are rightfully expected to expeditiously remove all posts that have celebrated the political assassination ofCharlie Kirk. Further, the authors of these posts are tobe identified and banned from your platform, as well as any new pages they may create.

Gleeful celebration of the heinous murder of an American citizen, brazenly published within the public forums of social media, is not to be tolerated within the accepted and legal parameters ofa free and humane society, and I have initiated a Congressional effort to force

accountability. If you shield these offenders, section 230 will not protect your platform from vigorous exposure.

I hold the gavel for the Federal Law Enforcement subcommittee of the House Oversight
and Government Reform Committee, and my Chair has specific Congressional authority over Federal regulatory law enforcement. My Committee will be a leading force in the righteous endeavor to protect the legitimate free exchange of ideas and opinions, which requires the vigilant maintenance of appropriate behaviors within our publicly accessed social media forums.

The reasonable restriction of public statements that lie far beyond the standards of our own society is not an oppression of free speech, it is, rather, the protection of free speech. Having the will to guard the standards and integrity of the infrastructure that enables the expression of opinion in our public discourse is a crucial responsibility that we must embrace. I am hopeful to receive your full cooperation, and I expect a formal response to this letter of encouragement within one business week.

Respectfully,
Chay bein
Clay Higgins
Member of Congress

CC:
The Honorable Donald J. Trump, President of the United States of America
The Honorable Pam Bondi, Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice

finally got around to playing the demo of this today after spotting it at Vancouver Game Garden and damn, stunned I haven't heard about this previously. "gorgeous story-action-scifi powerwash simulator" seems like the kind of thing everyone should be screaming about.

In space, death is contagious. When we die, the Scarabs decontaminate our ships and lay us to rest.

But when Dalia gets cleanup request from her childhood home, she finds something she’s never seen before: a contamination that doesn’t want to be cleaned.

This is Ambrosia Sky.

This video never names it, but it nails the “woozle effect”: when something seems true bc sources cite each other instead of an original. The term’s from Winnie the Pooh, where Pooh and Piglet follow their own tracks in circles looking for "woozles." Perfect metaphor for AI ouroboros poisoning info.

Aeons come and go, millions of years slipping away like minutes. The Fractal remains.
Mountains sprout in strange shapes, and in their twisted shadow species continue to evolve, die, be born. Nature has endured what humanity could not.
Nothing ever really ends.

Beneath clear pond waters, colourful carps swim around water lilies whose leaves repeat infinitely. The fish, despite their strange Mandelbrot forms, move around with grace.

$A butterfly perches atop a flower. Its wings twist in impossibly complex, yet graceful fractal forms.$ $A serene mountain landscape. A flock of birds gathers in a dragon curve pattern in the far distance. Mountains in the distance have eroded into twisting fractal patterns over millions of years. The clouds shimmer.$
