It isn't going to help with inflation or wage stagnation which are major contributors on top of tariffs causing a rise in building materials.

The problem isn't needing more time or $200 cheaper payments. It's the economic climate. (Also, the interest payments are astronomical with that much time.)

I found out from a friend who's a loan officer for a mortgage group that 40 year mortgages are already a thing but one really takes them so a lot of banks don't really talk about it or offer it because what's the point of no one is interested.

50 year mortgages will fall in the same path.

Thank you to all those who have served this broken country. May we all endeavor to improve this land and how we treat each other so your great sacrifice is worth the cost.

It would be sooo adorable. Especially if our grumpy lil birb was in the background while they played with the hat. 🥹

I'm not against consoles but if taking away physical games is the future of gaming, owning a console doesn't feel logical anymore if the only difference is the speed of receiving the title.

Except Nintendo. They don't play with others. 😭

Except with GOG. They honor their sales by prioritizing DRM free gaming which is a breath of fresh air.

I will say, as consoles move to digital based, I'm not motivated to buy it for the most part because I'll just move over to computer gaming. It is more affordable even if it's a delayed release.

Awww @ageddragonflame.bsky.social this would be very adorable to have. Marketed for kids or not, it's beautiful!

Exactly! It's not going to lower the prices of the titles with allegedly more efficient debugging. AI is buggy as hell too, I don't think it's even close to being ready in the way they imagine by 2027.

It's upsetting and I'm definitely having to reevaluate how much I'll be buying from them later.

I'm upset by it. I've long been a Square Enix fan. I don't like how so many tech bros are supporting this use of AI.

The job losses aren't worth the "efficiency". It wouldn't hurt if they relocated those people into the production side of things but they won't, based off the layoffs from last year.

That is weird. I feel like you tend to get pretty decent traction with your posts.

The comments in the article are annoying AF. You really think "efficiency" is going to lower the cost of the titles then you don't understand how corporates work.

SE starting their betrayal! 😭

I want less AI in the creative sphere and more AI to help middle and lower class citizens fight shit billing from hospitals and insurance rejections.

Lola, grumpy in her baby pink onesie on a robovacuum on the left. Freya is guarding her making sure she doesn't set off the robovac named Junebug AGAIN.

Lola the tortie in her baby pink onesie like the baby she is. She's actually cute in this shot.

Lola had a good spay. She's able to bust out of all cones. She is fine with the soft cone if she can just be held but the second she has to walk, she's pulling it off, so she's now in a onesie. She's very adorable and very disgruntled with me. 😭 Just a few more days girly!

Yesss! Honestly, K-pop demon hunters as muppets would be brilliant.

this shit ROCKS 👏

After reflecting on some of the bbq cooking videos I've seen. I bet this would be lit as a binder for seasonings on meats. I was initially just thinking of grilled cheese because of the pictures but I think I'd rather use it for some bbq. 🤤

You know, I saw a video where a guy used mayo as a binder for his brisket to hold the seasonings on it.

Remembering that now, I bet this will be LIT for that!

Is he playing it with you or is he watching you and asking questions? 🤩

It's the Muppets and animatronics or BUST!

OG Jurassic Park still looks incredible BECAUSE of the animatronics.

Idk if this is a good thing or a bad thing... The olive oil one was awful. This one feels like an April fools prank but in November?

Lola, the Tortie kitty, trying on her avacato soft cone for her up coming spay surgery. She likes it!

Lola, the Tortie, trying her cone for her up coming spay surgery on Monday. She has RBF going on but she was purring in this picture. My partner is holding her for the shot, he's a goof.

Lola, the avacato, is ready for her spay surgery on Monday. All that's left is to pick up more kitten Churu and wet food for her post-op.

Wish her all the good luck 😻

It's a cozy read about Sally learning how to become the pumpkin queen, learning what it means to be in the spotlight and how to handle it with her own kindness. We also get her origin story!

I also picked up Hour of the Pumpkin Queen this year. I'll let you know if it's as cozy and enjoyable. ❤️

Yessss yesss bring the fog!

Honestly, stream Powerwash sim. Let's just vibe. Nothing high energy, just relax while you power wash stuff. I'm here for it.

Same. Honestly, I wish they would have done movies exploring the other realms at the tree doors.

They do it in the books though! Long Live the Pumpkin Queen was excellent in exploring the other realms.

The books don't come with the Danny Elfman music though 💔

Definitely don't want to be in the splat radius of that ego he's got when it crashes down.

Trauma is not a choice. The choice is how you grow from the trauma. Some will weaponize it to harm others, while others will use it to give compassion for those around them because they value life they have while still respecting what was lost. Viktor Frankl is a wonderful example of this.

I hope it's as solid as the first!

I think the hardest part is knowing that rural communities will not have the same support as those in the cities. They'll have to choose between gas money for food bank access or gas for work in the future.
