It’s really weird for some corners of the media to do a whole “the Epstein files are a moral panic that has gone too far” thing when no one has faced any sort of punishment and doesn’t sound like they’re going to.

If you buy my book I promise to use most of the proceeds to buy more lizards

a man with a beard is standing in front of a lamp with the word sci-fi on it Alt: Jonathan Frakes says yes, you’re right, it’s a fact.

Folks, I backed the Kickstarter and since then, Ethan has made the book and bought more lizards, so all I can say is

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis. In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness. The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

At least the magic bean consistently grew into a beanstalk and was stable enough to climb.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

I grew up in the 80s so like half of the songs are about "romantic" stuff that should get you arrested, if you actually listen to them

OH MY GOD NOOOO 😭

Me, singing the 5 words the the chorus I can parse: man I hope this song isn't actually secretly messed up but it's truly impossible to know. I'll try listening

OH NO!!!

I was just writing similar down the line, but I agree. Ally is the penultimate class clown of the group

I think the difference is this is a show first and a game second. It's like the reality tv fight of TTRPG

Brennan is stronger than god I'd have walked into the sea trying to wrangle all that some days and my nearest friends are all theatre kids

The gold is Schmincke Aqua Bronze. This can be tricky to work with but really elevates everything.

I can make new sprites myself but I'm absolutely not learning how to map edit from first principles

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I have too many hobbies so of course I'm looking up available pokemon romhack tools on my phone right now

Racism and sexism are often treated like historicized events: "We used to be like that" is the common refrain. "We live in the modern world now." They go unrecognized as continuing processes and are treated as outlier events. This is a mistake.
