This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

It is underrated to have another person be your unofficial sleep police who keeps you from just staying up for an extra 40 minutes on your phone by being a vector for unsaid shame and embarrassment for being a sleep goblin.

As proof of how much I hate woke, I am going to highlight a game written by James Gunn. That'll show 'em.

I believe people who say it is worth getting through this to the rest of Twin Peaks but this is some of the worst TV I have ever watched.

Okay so at this point three things are clear:
1) They are planning for Yakuza 9 to be Ichiban vs. the Daidojj, which is assembling a suicide squad of old Yakuza of which Kiryu was meant to be a cornerstone.
2) Absolutely no one cares about or for this plot point.

Genuinely baffled why they didn't call this game League of Legends Fighting or Arcane Battle or something like that.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Watched season 2 episode 10 of Twin Peaks and am in the middle of 11 and I feel like this has lasted ten hours. Every single subplot I am begging for the sweet release of death. If I have to watch another Nadine in high school scene or anything with James I might just cry.
