Are there sports guys on here who adopt the annoying too-savvy doomerism of politics guys? Saying stuff like "You really think there's going to be a second half"
if you see someone posting "I CANT BELIEVE IT, HOLY SHIT" or "THIS IS UN-FUCKING REAL" later this afternoon know with confidence it's either someone watching "the big game" or more evidence of elite wrongdoing uncovered in the unending global pedophile trafficking scandal

I appreciate that the Bed of Chaos is a mario galaxy boss (weak spots, three stages getting angrier each time, arena fills with pits, you enter the arena via a slide)

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already.

When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world.

Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him.

I don't know why I'm being such a little hater today I think it's because I got to the end of the week and nothing exciting happened

I didn't become an organisation 13 hater til kingdom hearts 3, really, becuase they were able to carry KH2 but then they outstayed their welcome. by a lot. give us someone else I can't stand that these guys are the villains of the whole piece

I think that a remake of kingdom hearts 1 (note: not confirmed) would be an attack against me personally
the kingdom hearts fandom is starving, man. they're just making whatever the fuck up. please feed them they're so fucking hungry

also not gonna contribute more to a pile on so iykyk but setting up a false dichotomy between "artists" and "poor people" is both extremely false and very fundamentally reactionary

Love how the presumption here is that the President doesn't know what he's sharing and that's fine and normal.

Sorry, no, if the President doesn't know what he's sending out then that is indisputable proof of gross incompetence, cognitive unfitness, or both.
The New York Times has finally covered the Trump video of Obama as an ape — and they are still providing cover for him. Fuck the Times.

the word "snowflake" actually underwent a subtle shift in meaning: it used to be "special snowflake" i.e someone who thinks they're special but they're not, to meaning simply "fragile and weak" (both were used insultingly, but the meaning was different)
