Okay. Story spoilers for Hades 2. Run away if you don’t want those. You’ve been warned.

Hades 2 ending the way it did leaves a sour taste. I've always gotten the impression that sgg cares not only about creating a great game but writing a well story along with it. So I can't believe they greenlit and ending that feels so out of place. Did no one in the team had second thoughts?

even now, I’m feeding my current addiction - I just slapped this little junior coffee mug full of dense peach jello and tossed some cabot whipped cream on top

I don’t know if it confers a stat buff in real life, but I believe it does, and that’s all that matters

Yeet Kune Do @yeetkunedo.bsky.social · 10h

not only did it taste amazing, it was so dense you damn near had to chew it, AND it had this fizzy texture due to the carbonation being trapped

12/10 would definitely do again

Yeet Kune Do @yeetkunedo.bsky.social · 10h

yoooo I mixed a big ass box of lime jello and a big ass box of lemon jello and used two bottles of sprite in lieu of the cold water after using 2/3 the amount of boiling water to dissolve all the powder, that shit was CASH MONEY MILLIONAIRES

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

You can add dairy and a little more sugar (as simple syrup) to it to make some pretty cool stuff. I’ve made orange creamsicle jello like that. I also added 2 bottles of Sprite to a mix of lemon and lime jello and that shit SLAMMED.

deadass serious, I made a pan of blue raspberry so dense that the spatula had to break the actual surface tension of the jello, this shit had visibly bent before giving way, and the 1.5” thick slices / squares would have ringed patterns on the slices like the inside of a tree, it was incredible

Anything with a gummy texture. My kid got on a Jello kick that brought something horrific back out in me, I have spent the last two weeks making whole glass pans full of extremely dense jello because that shit is like eating a sugary refrigerated gummy bear steak and I think I need an intervention

yeah, four button shit, I’m right with you

Yeet Kune Do @yeetkunedo.bsky.social · 21h

idk I don’t like the type S at all for anything except SC2 fighting game wise, the lack of shoulder buttons fucks with me and the little black / white buttons are too small to be reliably functional in my patented gorilla mitts

Yeah, you shouldn’t go dancing in shoes you don’t find comfortable. That’s always worth saying. But on the same coin, you also can’t blame shoes for a lack of practiced rhythm. You gotta find shoes you’re able to practice in.

Fightpads can get really expensive, and truly good ones are hard to come by. And a DualShock (etc) just might not be ideal, depending on how you want to play.

What are your thoughts? What’s the game you’re trying to play? What’s the controller type you’d personally like to practice with?

Yeet Kune Do @yeetkunedo.bsky.social · 1d

So if you want the best setup for you, that all depends on what you want and don’t want. Arcade sticks are nice, but they’re really expensive. Like, shockingly so, more often than not. Leverless / button-based controllers are also a thing, they’re usually pretty cost effective.

So while you may feel a dpad won’t work for you, I can assure you that they work great. The PlayStation DualShock d-pad has been my weapon of choice for about thirty years. I used to hate it. I have since learned how to drive the car in question, therefore my ability to race with it is significant.

Here’s the facts: you are going to become proficient by using whatever controller you choose to use. That’s going to extend to the game you’re playing, the genre as a whole, and the control method you’re practicing on.

I do this with salmon. I make my own salmon skin like sushi restaurants do. It’s awesome.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

nobody worth a shit with aspirations of journalistic integrity would ever work for them as a company

Yeet Kune Do @yeetkunedo.bsky.social · 1d

the real punchline is that this implies that Fox News is so deeply journalistically corrupt and therefore radioactive that they have to force a bad actor to play multiple roles in order to manufacture narratives

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

As a born southerner, I have learned a long time ago to never trust “nice” people. “Nice” people are a threat. Good people aren’t a threat. They may not be nice, but they’ll be good. And if you recognize that for what it is, they’re much more likely to be nicer.

Hattie @hattiebeth.bsky.social · 1d

As a midwesterner, this is how I imagine all burly New Yorkers. Not "nice" people, but "good" people.

“If you’re not willing to use Copilot, then we’re not doing business with you” is a perfect opportunity to take your business elsewhere and starve Microsoft for trying to strongarm you into adopting something that can easily fuck your business over. Wonderful. Abandon Microsoft.

> Lol the timing; I work in IT for a large publishing company - and my god the meetings with microsoft sales team is all AI AI AI COPILOT COPILOT COPILOT.
> I had to flat out tell their VP we're not buying any fucking copilot - whereupon she revealed that the only thing she is being measured on for Q4 is sales of copilot, so if that's off the table the conversation is not interesting. LMAO

This reminds me of his turn in Blade Runner 2049, where his performance was one of the most hauntingly human of the entire film. You don’t need to be the poster boy to steal the show. I’d go so far to say you actually can’t steal the show if you’re the marquee name, because it’s already your show.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.
