Oh I doubt it’ll go there. Ingredients are there though and really depends of what the party aligns with. More like Kirk death opportunism x100 excusing anything they do: not going along with it being a disrespect to T’s wishes or something. Just wild speculations atm but they’ve behaved wild so far

Well look how long they've stretched the whole Epstein Files thing

Although I do see a lot more than staging keyframes in that layout phase: a real keyframe animator has been involved there. sfx are especially getting a lot of treatment (probably harder to communicate with just a few stills)

Now I wonder if this is a double-meaning meme.
Like it spoofs the "This is fine meme" (the affirmative nonchalance with the fire going around in the background), and the "fine" part from that other meme reflecting your approval (well there's the head nod).

...I haven't taken my coffee yet.

(the thing here being the Ainu and Indigenous communities from Pacific Northwest share a lot of similarities)

It's weird. I started with it, enjoyed it but was tempted elsewhere. Came back to it in 2026 and am in love with it...to the point it might be my favorite game of last year, at least, for the sum of it's parts. (although my memory may be spotty about last year's games XD).

Drew while listening Megaman2 soundtrack. I'm somewhat thankful for having lived that unique childhood reality between Atari's ugly blocks and SNES detailed renders, where NES simple sprites and electronic music evoked a pixel reality possible only before new consoles arrived. It'll never come back.

Heck last year they executive ordered a pause on criminal persecution on bribery for over 100 days.
I’m surprised it’s not being talked about more but I guess that’s part of the culture.
It’s like when US multinational companies complain when Europe is forcing laws that protects consumers.

We also live in a time were they're wantonly deregulating everything for profits, little consequences for big money, and ethical human values are gradually being thrown out the window again (u know where). And that research definitely doesn't JUST help mental health therapy. Could be weaponized.

But I'll say, it DID feel different at some point around the last inch or so. Maybe a little softer while keeping a solid line, but not sure, could've been all in my end, or something about vibration.
