I agree. Feels wrong. Im going to try to accept it for what it is and pretend its not called Nioh 3

Its not really different from the first demo, but it runs pretty well. Im just running around open world which is not what I want from Nioh, and the weapons being locked to sam/nin modes is still wack. Building two characters at once with shared stats is weird as hell too.

Ill play more tomorrow

Nioh 3 demo is up, gonna try it. The last demo had me worried.

Can this live up to Nioh 2?

Can it live up to Berserker Khazan?

It's amazing how this radical "step too far" is how every law enforcement officer in the country operated for our entire history.

Hey, you

See you in Frosty Chicagoland this weekend. Let's get games and spontaneously organize ourselves into durable people-powered political operations. SF6 & 3S mostly, some democratic socialism, some ST

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions.

That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

approaching the problem of "roving death squads" from an incrementalist point of view is just a slow form of suicide

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Related, "polarization" as a problem is one of the most destructive ideas US political science has ever helped popularize.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

Yes because then they’d have to face the reality of what people think of them

Measles is the perfect metaphor for our current age. A virulent, super contagious disease that weakens your immune system against other long-dormant diseases. And one that could be easily stopped but for a deficiency of public trust, understanding of science, and commitment to the common good.

Congrats to Kennedy and Trump—living the dream

This tracks with LA. They make the spectacle, act like it's over when Bovino leaves and then continue the same level of crackdown without a spotlight after everyone gets used to it.

Don’t. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper.

The criticism was not “widespread” & the cited sources are all pro-Trump.

This should be a huge story

“We will only continue to fund evil if the evil people doing the evil read as marginally less evil”

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

we're going to start international conflicts with random countries because the overlap of "cartoonishly evil" and "complete fucking moron" is the Venn diagram that American voters look for in leadership

you can always better yourself. ❤️

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Its interesting that there are really only 3 gamer types that enjoy competition, and one of those types, the skirmisher, really doesnt like thinking too hard. Fighting gamers are almost entirely Ninja and Gladiator types.

ok, this is a good start; hold this energy

in my opinion, it’s guys who are as soft and weak as *this* who will actually kill you.

Nothing screams "reliable source of news" like a new EIC sacking reporters and bringing in their mates who have podcasts
