I couldn't quite get it done. And at the end, played a bit of the 2014 Strider remake. I made it to stage 5 though, so maybe next week will be my week.
The stream is over! We made it to the final stage, but got overwhelmed with everything Strider throws at you. Let's try again next week! We raided @dopples.bsky.social who's currently playing Killer 7.

You could have told me that this was JP from Street Fighter 6 instead of Magneto in an alternate skin in Marvel Rivals, and I would have believed you. They should be bullied into making a new Marvel vs. Capcom game for this, or even just a new X-Men vs. Street Fighter game.

I can't help but feel a little sad about Super Sentai ending, even though I haven't come close to watching all of them. Toei said they might do movies and specials over the next decade, so it's not too late for, I don't know, Shin Gorenger.

just building this awful camp system is a crime against humanity imo
The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

I’m surprised they haven’t said anything about simulcasting Project R.E.D./Super Space Sheriff Gavan Infinity. There’s still time for them to announce it, because I’d be shocked if they uploaded the trailers to the English Toei Tokusatsu account and then didn’t officially subtitle it.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Easily the most fun fight in Neva. The rule of cool states that if your character (Alba) uses a sword, then she's eventually going to have a sword fight against someone else.
Alas, the YouTube algorithm gods don't like this video much.

Neva's final boss fight is quite satisfying. Then that creeping realization the game might go full circle sets in. (There are no actual spoilers from the end of the game in this clip.)
