We were proud to join comrades across Europe and the world in Paris to demand an end to war and to strengthen international coordination against the genocide in Palestine.

We join their call to say: Not a penny, not a weapon, not a human life for war!

This seems like a non-story. If you're dead set on playing System Shock 2 (1999) you still have a variety of ways to do that. One of which being bundled with a very thoughtful remaster by Nightdive. Being on Steam as it's own listing that you ALSO technically don't own doesn't mean that much to me.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

sterling silver skull earrings with garnet chips

Cast sterling silver skulls with polished garnet chips hanging where their necks should be. These tiny skulls cast wildly unreliably, meaning that each piece is uniquely and interestingly damaged and deformed

You can literally just mumble and go "urgh?" Or "bappa nada" with text to read, and it'll be far, far less viscerally repellent than using ai voices.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

Founder of Dwarf Fortress and Caves of Qud publisher Kitfox Games says its procgen sims for sickos are 'giving storytelling tools back to the people when games and passive media took them away' Streets of Fortuna, Kitfox's own in-development "megasim," is chasing that same systems-driven storytelling.

"'The more we try to understand what's going on in the world around usβ€”the more we don't just withdraw into a hermitude of my family and I as a nuclear unit, the more we try to understand our societyβ€”I think the more these kinds of games speak to us,' Short said."

This lovely figured Maple and Canarywood Tarot/CCG deck box is still looking for the right person. Interior divider can be used with the slot on the lid to create a small stand for a prominent card or life-counter or other reference.

But, the dot com bubble popped a quarter century of deliberate erosion of every single institutional safeguard ago.

Think of a building fire long after the sprinklers have been removed for scrap and fire department downsized to 2 guys and one ax.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles
