Slay the Spire is literally the only game that every single member of my family plays. Can't wait!

I told my parents about the state of the game industry like this: a game was announced in the prime spot of the game awards, then it came out and had 2 million players. so it was a collosal failure

They’re referencing a PC world article but … yeah

i haven't seen enough: Dallas County is Crockett's home district, is currently reporting 0% votes in, and Ken Paxton just said people waiting in line can go fuck off

The TX supreme court interfering in Dallas is just going to add so much noise to a close election.

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Are Democrats in the Colorado legislature ready to impeach Polis if he does this?

Seriously, I respect MY favorite Final Fantasy game by constantly trying to collapse all of time and space, it's like the minimum bar.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

I agree with all of this, and it seems crazy to me that ZERO of these things were listed in that "Target comeback" article that was making the rounds.

How do you launch a game as a service without a post launch run scheduled and budgeted? This keeps happening to an extent that I assume it’s part of the (stupid) plan.

Gonna open a restaurant, but if it’s not profitable by 7:30pm on day one, I’m gonna burn it down and blame the chef.

If I were teaching the classics to a bunch of gen Z kids, this is the model for a greek tragedy.

Keighley: I'm gonna do it.
Chorus: This is a bad idea.
Keighley: Not only am i gonna do it, I'm gonna be real smug about it too.
*TRAGEDY*
Keighley: Welp this was a bad idea

Love to be told we can't have UBI or Universal Health Care when we can afford to insure the most-at-risk oil tankers there have ever been.

Orpheus: Thanks

Alex Horne: We did want to show you one more clip of when he came out...

Yeah I am great with PvP, and I am great with PvE but for me personally, the mix of the two is very unpleasant.

7 only for chewing on the cap.

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why?

If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment.

Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

Sales tax (VAT etc) AND corporation tax AND income tax. Also don't forget refunds. Also don't forget 3rd party costs like contractors, marketing, localisation, software/tools, hardware, internet/webhosting, etc.

After all that, you get to pay yourself.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 25A914 NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY No. 25A915 PETER KOSINSKI, ET AL. v. MICHAEL WILLIAMS, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY [March 2, 2026] The applications for stay presented to JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR and by her referred to the Court are granted. The January 21, 2026 order entered by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, Index No. 164002/2025, is stayed pending the disposition of the appeal in the New York state courts and disposition of a petition for a writ of certiorari in this Court, if such a writ is timely sought. Should certiorari be denied, this stay shall terminate automatically. In the event certiorari is granted, the stay shall terminate upon the issuance of the mandate of this Court.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR, with whom JUSTICE KAGAN and JUSTICE JACKSON join, dissenting from grant of stay. The Court's 101-word unexplained order can be summarized in just 7: "Rules for thee, but not for me." Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts have limited jurisdiction. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not interfere with state-court litigation. Time and again, this Court has said that federal courts should not meddle with state election laws ahead of an elec-tion. Today, the Court says: except for this one, except for this one, and except for this one. Ignoring every limit on federal courts' authority, the Court takes the unprecedented step of staying a state trial court's decision in a re-districting dispute on matters of state law without giving the State's highest court a chance to act. Because that order violates basic principles of jurisdiction, federalism, and equity, I respectfully dissent.

BREAKING: SCOTUS blocks New York state court redistricting order, over the strong dissent of the Democratic appointees.

tomorrow is with one of the biggest election days of the year. there's so much to go over it's hard to know where to start.

so, let me help:

here are the *10* elections i'm watching the most closely, *at the state and local level* (=no federal elections included!)

🧵:

Reminder:

DK Bananza, Rune Factory Azuma, Chrono Ark, one million versions of Picross. You don't need a Switch 2 for some of those, certainly, but it's nicer?

We've got previews of *forty* different major elections taking place tomorrow. This is a post you definitely won't want to miss out on.

Certainly that's true about the process of making them...

DoD planners are well aware of this, hence why, separate from forces being in place, there aren't even any plans for anything beyond "bomb stuff and see what happens??" because anything beyond that is not realistically plausible

who knows if grandpa and pete even know what hemisphere Iran is in

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

(I guess maybe that was Zero, not Azure, but still...)
