To my trans and nonbinary friends, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this hate. And I hope to see us reach the other side of it soon. And, we will reach the other side. This is horrifying, but it is ultimately the latest iteration of a time-worn tale. And their time always comes to an end.

honestly, having listened to his deal and shit, dynamiting him the instant he opens his mouth is the reasonable and accurate choice

That's what I mean by sparse--sure there are plenty of people ready to rip it all down to try to claim it, but I can't name a single person who I think could actually do it and hold the full MAGA coalition intact.

We've been seeing hordes of them jockeying for position. The problem is that the most prominent people clearly angling to be the successor for Trumpism (DeSantis, Vance, etc) have the charisma of wet oatmeal and would not conceivably be able to hold the Trumpist coalition together.

it honestly says a lot about the current GOP bullpen that the possibilities for a successor once Trump finally drops dead are so sparse that Marjorie Taylor fucking Greene can plausibly position herself as a frontrunner for that seat, though

i don't

i don't understand how you even approach doing what they're asking to do

this just sounds like some suits saying "QA is expensive, find a way to make AI do it" and leaving it at that

I love the dash uppercut and the big, sweeping aerials on Reaper. It's so nice.

The DPS is a little lower (and one of the crests is just busted), but oh well? The Reaper crest's mid-attack movement feels so good.

fellow reaper enjoyer <3

also, yeah, I deeply love how flow-statey some of the bosses in this game are

a lot of these boss fights feel more like a conversation, a dance, than in the first HK and it's so cool

I'm not gonna lie, covering this Court is a hero's job to begin with and I'm pretty sure I'd need something a little stiffer in my coffee to put up with these people.

Beautiful.

another one that cracks me up from that book is the one where Reacher and Vetinari have that mutual silent exchange of "I hate you and everything you stand for, but I will grant you that I hate you less than I hate Crispin Horsefry."

Or something along those lines.

Reacher Gilt to Crispin Horsefry:

I've been hearing from teachers that the next generation coming up through schools right now is utterly cooked.

A lot of them were already borderline feral after COVID lockdowns, but AI sounds far, far worse for education.

Skyward Collapse, for example, is a 4x strategy game where all sides are controlled by the computer, and you, the player, interact as a god of War manipulating all sides as an independent agency. Your wincon is forcing a perpetual stalemate war!

Arcen Games has made a few games where the central conceit is the player as an independent actor working to influence multiple computer-controlled factions. They're pretty cool!

And gotdamn I remember Xiao Xiao fondly too

I got to run Your Only Move Is Hustle at a fighting game local recently. It was a lot of fun! Game is effectively a turn based stick fight generator and it's great

Heat Signature is also $2.99! It's a game about hijacking spaceships! It's excellent!

Heat Signature, from the same dev, also $2.99!

Y'all this is the game that began a legend

a legend of windows and methods to put people through them

@pentadact.com correctly recognized that putting an enemy through a window is the objectively most fun of dealing with them and spun three fantastic games out of that

Let's goooooooo

But that's still excessive even for Satan's sleepmates, as far as I'm aware...

I wonder if he was dealing with bedbugs.

i am now concerned for my baseball fan blueskiers

breathe folks 😱
