God please release 13 Sentinels on Steam.

Being negatively polarized by the wrong people liking the thing you like is immature behavior. Genuinely lame shit.

The response: "we should do another porn ban".

The country is slowly turning into one great heap of mud and crumbling aerated concrete, powered by money laundering for countries that destroyed their sovereign wealth funds to build unfinished skyscrapers.

Seeing her taste is really interesting. One of the great minds.

Feel like I dodged a huge bullet by upgrading my PC in April/May of last year.

Lancers are known for having bad luck, which I assume is concentrated entirely in Chaplin's mustache.

the Newsom thing is electoralism as masochism (which is increasingly its dominant psychological profile). the primary hasn't started yet, there's zero evidence he's more electable than any other Democrat, his entire selling point is a scissor statement, "what's the biggest bullet you could bite"

Crucially they do their jobs properly for the most part? Didn't invent a kind phoney science to justify the conclusions they wanted to come to like "forensic ethnoballistics" or whatever and kind of just did normal-ass investigating.

Martian gravity makes people grow taller. Clearly she's short for a Ruster but average anywhere else.

「重戦機エルガイム」

Stills From Romance of the Three Kingdoms (1994) Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are eating chicken together. Right now Sun Ce is taking a big bite

in this frame Zhou You is taking a bite of his piece of chicken

Claiming he was in the pocket of any specific country or intelligence agency is giving the intelligence community too much credit. This was a man who knew how to make off like a bandit in moments of national decline.

No you're right, he was an all-American pedophile financier who simply had close ties to all of the major loci of the international hard right and surveillance capital, which includes Israel (and Russia).

Black licorice is a sometimes food but they're all fine.

Those pants, my god.

Doing several sets of ~5 minute squats as a rest position, per day, fixed this for me.

It's all SEO bait! I don't feel like it respects the audience.

On some level the reader is the one who judges if you really wrote a 'Strong Willed Female Protagonist' or you actually made an 'Enemies to Lovers' arc, or just had this girl get a bit snarky for a few chapters until she gave up.

Needless to say you (and your co-authors) consistently hit bangers when it comes to titles.

I like covers that are either art-forward or make the title itself into art. We live in a mostly artless age, suffering from conjunctivitis (so many "and"s!)

Obviously I'm rarely the target audience for this kind of stuff but nothing really turns me off a potential new read more than seeing the booktok/Ao3 tags. I grew up reading the punchy summaries on the back of SFF paperbacks after being drawn in by sharp titles on the spines and flashy pulp covers.

Damn that's pretty good.

Neosocialism would be catchier IMHO.

Total automation of drug manufacturing involves replacing your workforce with trained production technicians who are also highly trained automation engineers. It's prohibitively expensive. You can't just feed people off the street into satanic mills like an Amazon Fulfillment Center.

AI cannot replace my job. My work will only be automated away by tech companies using their illicit fortunes to lobby for the complete deregulation of food and drug safety laws.

How many chickens should I abstain from to afford a house

Does that ammo really stack with a laser rifle?

really horrified by the continued and escalating strangulation of Cuba by a global superpower that has absolutely no reason to do so other than pure spite

I had to play cat and mouse with three combat walkers because they're afraid of being hit with 2 indirect fire shells per round, which cannot pen armor or meaningfully shred it.
