There will be no depth of depravity this country's military actions sink to, no economic consequence global or domestic too great, to get the hand back off the stove. Holden Bloodfeast will have his dream realized if it's the last thing Chuck Schumer ever enables in his miserable life.

Make no mistake: They've all flirted with touching the stove for decades. They all knew it was a terrible idea until we got an administration stupid enough to do it, but now that the hand is firmly on the stove they are all absolutely fucking transfixed even as the flesh starts charring.

Seeing "why are they so bad at politics?" It's because dem leadership wants to do everything in their power to run cover for this war because they are driven by the same multi-decade libidinal instinct to drop a nuke on Iran For Security Reasons that the insane decrepit neocons are.

Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator - Regular Font in terminal screen Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator - OpenDyslexic Font in terminal screen

Today, we released a small (tiny even) update for Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator. We fixed a bug that was breaking daily challenge streaks. Streak on... AND...

We also released a beta implementation of a settings option that works to account for players with dyslexia.

It's a strikingly good experience on handheld! The UX work you've put in really shines, it turns an extremely dense world and system into one of the smoothest classic roguelikes I've ever played.

Are lower-stakes gossip items like talking shit about somebody at a party or in a tabloid also inventory items? I love this framing.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

As a Housewives journeyman and fan of procgen narrative I've become firmly convinced that there is a venn diagram that has these two concepts meeting in the middle for EXTREMELY JUICY GAME DESIGN so please continue I promise you're not crazy or at least you're not the only one who's crazy.

We live in a world in which its entirely possible that Iran negotiations failed because people involved bet the under.

The purpose of "smart weapon" propaganda, going at least as far back as the Desert Storm days when the war was breathlessly broadcast on CNN like some major media event, has been to launder and normalize increasing amounts of strikes. No see it's fine, these are SMART weapons, it's okay to use them

A stroke is too good for him. A just world with functional opposition would see him dragged through the streets and strung up. Him and every two-bit podcaster and bug-alien financier that enables his banal depravity.

May they all live to see their cruelty revisited upon them one hundred times over.

When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

Every single outlet that uncritically recites Israel's self-designation of "preemptive strikes" should be permanently shut down for good. Straight up. Definitionally no such thing as a "preemptive" attack when the country being attacked had no plan nor indication of planning to attack first.

Next president will have to rebuild the federal government while fighting a cadre of insane billionaires the whole way. The more bleak things get the more absurd it seems to consider electing some common weasel who wants to be president because he wants to be president

You can see the avatar you selected with your name, level, total amount of cash and the "Daily February 25" written next to it. This is the same screenshot, but the other half!

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.

If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
