I’m sitting here looking for Saddam Hussein

The funniest part was when he said he was speaking and asked to be allowed to finish. Then he started delivering his statement very calmly and quietly (for Trump), and it somehow ended with him ramping up for only these words and shouting “SHE WANTS TRANSGENDER OPERATIONS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN PRISON.” It’s like being at grandpa’s for dinner, he starts off pointing out the gas prices are high and one sentence later he’s talking about Kamala’s communist dictatorship that she modeled after Maoist China.

hmm, excellent observation

Seconded, Nick is definitely gay and fell for the Nazi schtick. It’s not a crazy jump.

Um, yeah? That’s what everyone’s besides Team Trump has been trying to do ever since.

He acts like Trump just now deserves to be charged because he fell for that bullshit.

I don’t like to paint in broad strokes, but I believe that these people get grifted so hard because they place the consequences for their actions entirely on someone else. This could be a real self-growth moment if he would take a step back, say, “I can’t believe I fell for that. What led me to that?”

Yeah, glad people on that side are starting to realize Trump’s just a grifter, but without any self-reflection they’re just going to vote for the next loud asshole that promises them everything.

I really love the current gen controllers. I was using a Series X controller, which has a fantastic weight and feel, but I started experiencing drift. I decided to get a PS5 controller after that, and it’s even better! I use it with my PC, and the touchpad works as a mousepad, which has allowed me to play a LOT of games comfortably on the couch, when I’d normally have to fumble with my mouse and keyboard.

So Streets of Rage 2 with some River City Ransom mechanics? Count me in! It won’t increase the replayability for me though, I could already play SoR2 over and over, it’s immaculate.

But, they are Ubisoft. As is the theme with this new Star Wars game. I’m almost wary to wish for a sequel to Rayman Legends, feels like the monkey’s paw with AAA (sorry, AAAA) studios now.

Far Cry 2 also had the buddies system, which I have missed greatly in every entry since. Far Cry 3 was an awesome game but I do wish the series after had taken more inspiration from 2 and less from 3. Subverting missions and then losing your favorite buddy in a firefight is an experience unlike anything in the rest of the series.

For real. I played through Far Cry 5 recently, and as much as I enjoyed it it still felt like some exec saw Far Cry 3 and said “make this appeal broader and sell more.”

Well now I’m embarrassed I didn’t catch the Sunny reference! Oh no, time for a rewatch…

New Girl S2E6. I wanted so badly to include a photo but couldn’t find one.

Schmidt proven right

These guys have it made if you ask me. They sold development for Risk of Rain 2 to Gearbox (which, turned out not so great for Risk of Rain 2, but they were done developing it themselves anyway) and probably got a decent bit of money out of that, then they partnered with Gearbox to crank out a beautiful remaster of Risk of Rain. Now they have jobs at a company that paid out about $450 million to its 336 employees in 2021. I’ve been following these guys since DEADBOLT, and it’s nice to see them set up with cush jobs. No doubt they have leftover money from Gearbox; I’m sure these guys will set off on their own to make a passion project when the time comes.

Oh okay! I missed out on Advanced Warfare’s online, going straight from Black Ops II to Black Ops III. I remembered people not liking the boost jumping in Advanced Warfare, but I didn’t realize that’s where all the loot box stuff started. To its credit, I remember playing some splitscreen AW with my brothers, and I believe it had all weapons unlocked offline at least. BO3 didn’t have that, which was a disappointment for me in a rural area without internet capable of online MP.

FWIW the open beta will be open, but people who prepurchase get extra skins and early beta access. Activision has been putting anti-consumer features in CoD since Black Ops 3, to my knowledge. That was the first one where you had to roll loot boxes to unlock all the weapons as opposed to just playing MP matches.

With a song

You need these now on account of wine bottles evolving that maze-like cork.

Why haven’t more criminals thought of this?

Yep, I probably would too. Nobody’s saying Musk designed them.
