"it was a calculated withdrawal, from the life of the Republic, from its machinery. Since they could not have withdrawn into a vacuum (could they?), there had to exist the separate, silent, unsuspected world."

US effectively moving to a system where tax policy is set by the executive branch, fully adhoc, unpredictable, and bespoke per company, and based in large part on the presidents' personal relationships with the company's leadership

for all claims about bsky dying, I'm VERY annoyed that I can't do my daily browsing in a more timely manner.
It's taking me WAY more time than I'd like to go through everything.

it also says something I tried a bit of Assetto Corsa Competizione, then went to play GT4...
The actual progression gameplay in GT4 is still unmatched and very similar to a JRPG.
I could write a giant game design essay on just the first 6 hours.
A legendary game, zero nostalgia (did not have a PS2).

went a bit between Gran Turismo 3 and 4 (emulator)
even the simple fact that GT4 has nitro adds so much to the gameplay
AI races in 3 seem fun, but feel more cheaty

my last 2 days spent gaming

For some silly reason amazon.it is selling books at PLUS 10-20 euros EACH (at times more than doubling the cost).
But I can just order them from amazon.de wait 2 days more, and spare tons of money...
Why?
Book prices have risen 3x in the last 10 years.

btw, the reason why EA is advertising so much their "efforts" against cheaters is solely to sell the game on day 1.
From day 2 everything will be forgotten.
Money first, then goodbye.

that's just PR...
why people consider advertisements as a source of information?

In almost every case you read in a book review that the author "desperately needs a good editor" it means the book desperately needed a better reader

Had no intention of playing these. But fuck off anyway.
Windows has become a parody of itself.

How Transformers: Target 2006 Warped My Tiny Mind The lasting impact of the UK comic's time-twisting and hyper-violent 1986 epic

Comrade Meer writes about the torture-porn-for-pre-teens transformer epic, Target 2006. I joke about Impactor being who we imprinted on instead of Jean Grey, but the main joke is I'm not joking.

I was thinking it's kind of funny that AnasΓ»rimbor Kellhus from Bakker's Prince of Nothing is likely a more accurate representation of historical Jesus than the one from the Bible.

oh and it looks like nope. Currently I think it's solely vanilla content with arbitrary boosts...
There's always this rift between mods = cheats, and mods = extensions and overhauls
