I've made a huge mistake/great decision.

the map is so big it took me nearly five minutes to drive to the next city. and you can go into almost every single building and every single car on the entire map has a sidequest

i'm. i'm shocked

You can name the currency used in game. Since you can only use four letters, my plan to name it the dollarydoo is bust. but I can be a little problematic.

Look how adorable I am!

ah, if it only were that simple for other applications

A screenshot of the PS2 game Road Trip, in which the President of the United States, a green sedan, declares "I'm tired of being President! Why do I have to be locked up in this small room!!!"

to this end it's an open world RPG where you talk to other cars to recruit them to your team, gathering sponsorships and even founding your own city to pump an economy up to fund your bid to win the World Grand Prix and be elected President.

i'm quite excited to get around to this one, actually

np: Road Trip (PS2)

despite the rather generic and unassuming title, this is actually a relatively rare English localization of a video game for Takara's Choro Q super deformed toy car line. it's an racer where you play as an anthropomorphic car trying to get elected President

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.

Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

I'm putting up octuple kills with six teammates around me and jumping onto the point to find eery single one of them running the opposite direction like. i'd almost rather play with the AI because they at least move *forward*.

Battlefield 6 good. there are some hiccups like sometimes it feels like i'm shooting cotton balls but the game in general is already in a state it's taken almost every other Battlefield i've ever played nearly a year and a half to attain

i had expected Battlefield 6 to run into some launch issues due to the volume of demand but I did not expect issues at the level of "it is not on services that explicitly advertised that it would be on them the moment it launched".

Cu Chullain ends a war in one of his stories by finding the opposing queen taking a shit in a bush so foul that the author takes pains to describe the earth boiling under her, and taking her hostage

they feel fine bringing this up because the RW media ecosystem has successfully implanted the idea that the gunman was a No Kings organizer sent by Tim Walz to kill them for allegedly being about to flip their alignment to Republican, btw
