It's very good, but I do think it's their weakest gameplay loop. Which... I mean, it still got me to like a sports game, so it did something right.

But Transistor is the one that was made for my specific tastes, so.

I will just avoid hearing it for as long as possible and then avoid repeat encounters as much as possible.

I have had a premonition of the year 2029, and Katy Perry is going to write a breakup album about Justin Trudeau that has a song about his performance in the bedroom and we're all going to hate it

Every day this week has weirder news.

it would be funny if Tamaki (DPFP) becomes PM simply because everyone else hates Takaichi, including the communists

After ruling bloc breakup, CDP and Komeito eye unified PM candidate

The move comes as the Democratic Party for the People appears no longer willing to hold coalition talks with the LDP, putting new ruling party chief Sanae Takaichi in a tough spot.

Oh, the Gallaghers are kind of boring to focus on, yes. But if you just want a benchmark for “sibling fight” there’s few more prominent lol

TIL, for reasons, that apparently the horsegirl racing game's wiki has a "real life" section for all the horsegirls.
It details the namesake race horse's career.
With stats.

This is the most useless but amusing piece of knowledge I've learned recently.

Yes, and the charge attacks doing different damage means they do different damage, lol. I'm aware of what I posted.

Jordan Carlson @jordantcarlson.bsky.social · 1d

well, there's a class of very rich people who are clearly not asking that question and quite eagerly pursuing an answer regardless, so

accounts with tens of thousands of followers do not get to "vent" or make shit up to panic their followers. there is no "but" after this sentence.

I do not have tens of thousands of followers but explicitly refuse to sow panic; these people can do likewise

Japan, ostensibly one of the least religious countries in the world, had its political order upended by the lay Buddhist organization Soka Gakkai. That is THE story about Friday's epochal shift in Japanese politics (thread follows):
