L.T.

I just beat Cold Steel III and how am I supposed to go to bed for work after that?

How am I supposed to go to work IN THE MORNING after that?

All I want to do is start Cold Steel IV immediately but the responsible adult in me says to wait until Friday.

Hoping they can finish remastering the first trilogy by the time I finish CS4, Reverie, and Horizon so that I can go back and play those too. 6/6

It’s perfectly enjoyable to drop into the middle of a story, just use context clues and pay attention. Whatever you don’t know, if you care enough you can go back - Like I did. Playing the older games now to me is like playing prequels and I’m loving it! -5/x

I try not to read too much that is in-depth about it in order to avoid spoilers, but based on what little I have read since I began the saga it seems like the problem is the same one I often have with people in movies and TV - If they aren’t spoon fed everything they’re automatically frustrated. 4/x

…. I found it plenty welcoming. Or at least COMPELLING. Compelling enough that having entered the series knowing nothing about it and only buying it on a lark, that I was so taken in I was moved to play everything…. -3/x

(I watched an 8 hour YouTube recap of the first trilogy, and have finished Daybreak 2, Zero, Azure, CS1, CS2, and I am 140 hours into CS3 and probably will wrap it up with the long weekend and move on to CS4) - 2/x

Speaking from the perspective of someone whose first game was Daybreak, which I literally purchased one year ago today, and found so compelling that I have spent the entire 365 days catching up - 1/x

Also, the guy who killed someone dropped an F bomb. So the only difference between him and Frey is killing someone.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."

I've said something similar before and I 1,000% agree with this.

“having to mask made me go fash” is so common and it’s just baffling

I mean, yes, it was annoying to wear one all the time? it also wasn’t that big a deal? if, today, someone asks me to put a mask on I go “ok” and put one on

and yet so many people treat it as a life-ruining imposition

My maps look like the below, although I dislike the use of the term “Never”……my mind could change later.

It’s not just unfair to me as a trans woman, it’s unfair to me as a teacher if every single student has a heckler’s veto over every lecture, discussion section, and assignment. The incentive structure you’re creating is for everyone to submit “MAGA” written in crayon and dare me not to give As.

And to the extent something like it would ever exist, they might be beside themselves to learn that En Vogue sang a whole hit song in the early 90s about how likely they would be to win it.

congressional dems in 2026 and dem president in 2028 need a plan to spend this capital as fast as possible

The #1 movie on my 10th birthday was Silence of the Lambs, so things aren’t looking up!

God this is so depressing given the political response to it

I will never ever stop being mad about it.

(The version of the song in the intro lives rent-free in my head all these years later)

Yeah, I was shown Eyes on the Prize in my African-American history class in high school.

I was in high school in the 90s.

Oversight Dems have launched the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard to record possible misconduct during immigration operations by the Trump Administration.

It archives harmful actions against U.S. citizens and immigrants nationwide so we can hold this Administration accountable.

All of the trouble in Newark last night was worth it to see the Red Wings win at Madison Square Garden tonight.

Shout out to Palace Fried Chicken for being open.

To be clear, I’m not specifically biased against Brazilian food, I’ve just never had it before, and late at night after making an 11 hour drive across the country is not the time to be adventurous with my palate. Right now I want something I KNOW I will like.

If I have to pay a toll and pay parking to go into New York City to find some food at 10 o clock on Saturday I will curse the city of Newark for the remainder of my days.

The hotel bar is hosting a party so apparently they can’t make me food. Every restaurant around here appears to be a Brazilian restaurant. Every restaurant, including bars, that’s not a Brazilian restaurant apparently closes at 10 o clock on a Saturday night for some reason.

in any case it is wild that voters just sent a huge message and a bunch of senate democrats are all, “it doesn’t look like anything to me”

Sen Gary Peters is in his own way the biggest embarrassment of the lot. He’s been a leader of Team Cave and he’s retiring. So there’s no politics or risk aversion. He wants to cave as a matter of genuine principle.
