Yoon Suk Yeol: South Korea's ex-president jailed for life over martial law attempt Yoon Suk Yeol's December 2024 martial law bid fundamentally damaged South Korea's democracy, a judge told the court.

It felt really odd being in Seoul while all this was going in December 2024

Work on The Many Sins of House Ocampo continues, little by little, scene by scene.

It is now 1915, middle of who knows where, and MR MIRAGE is about to give a performance you'll never forget.

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, step right up and wishlist now!

Maybe once opening it, don't automatically highlight / pick up the screwdriver? Let the player have to rummage a bit?

If you're on Windows, I *think* PowerShell is installed by default, so it should just be a case of copying and pasting the line under Installation if that helps

Grok's new "feature" that allows users to undress women in photos posted to X is a new low for the platform. If you're somehow still active over there, I urge you to let this be your final straw.

Not the ordinary autofire while you walk around ala Vampire Survivors, but it just plays for you in full - walks around, picks upgrades etc.

My favourite bit in Ball x Pit was when there's an autoplay character, so I didn't have to play anymore

Loco Motive was a wholly human creation made with a relatively tiny budget - We paid real human voice actors, artists and musicians - And they all brought something to the final game.

Nexon has a market cap of $17,000,000,000 USD and they're too cheap to care about their craft. Fuck off.
