And that's awful.

Not that it matters(you should be an American if you want to be part of this project, period), but Tlaib was born in Detroit. So she's got the same right to be there as Trump himself.

I was telling my therapist today about how while I didn't see this coming, because I've followed you through all the post-George Floyd action, the years and years of organizing, that it was so obvious they couldn't beat you. Y'all really did organize, you did the real, hard work to be prepared.

The borderless version of High Perfect Morcant from Magic the Gathering.

So far, #LorwynEclipsed prerelease and sealed honestly hasn't been very exciting. The set seems very simple overall, and very few cards are high impact by themselves.

I'm eager to try draft with it, but at the moment it largely feels like a set made for Commander.

I did get angry in those cases, as I am now. But this was the first to make me cry, because the pictures of the inside of the car reminded me of mine. I could've seen my wife there.

The anger and indignation is from valuing every human life, but that anger often creates distance. It failed to here.

How much training did Jonathan Ross get? What qualifications did he have for the role? What did he do before?

This only really works for extremely broad feature flags, which is just not the modern use. Feature flags are most powerful when their status is determined by user/org/demographic, and this paradigm can't handle that.

Sure, but in such a case can't creators be given an opt-in? Or did you find most wouldn't be likely to turn it on?

Nebula – Indie Streaming Nebula is smart, thoughtful videos, podcasts, and classes from your favorite creators.

I wish nebula.tv had comments. Being a paid service, the risk of banning would go a long way in moderation, and frankly the inability to communicate with channels on it is a really sour spot.

I had no idea that was your first gig! I grew up in Fresno and I have to admit, rarely agreed with the Bee's movie reviews. Then again, I only read them up until I was 10 or so and got internet access.

Because those have pretty typical performance characteristics. Whereas Ferrari makes a wide range of vehicles.

It's there to help describe just how fast and thus likely difficult to control the vehicle is.

Oh my God @jacobgeller.com has the exact same opinion on Silksong as I do and it makes me so happy

God that game is impossible to understand in how good it is. I'm someone who has always been able to describe *why* a game is as good as I think it is. Silksong? Too good to describe.

Yeow, Untapped.gg kinda makes bad decks. And by "kinda", I mean "Is your wincon expecting your opponent to AFK?"

I might be a new player, but it genuinely seems like there's no way to actually carry out these win conditions unless you expect literally zero interaction from your opponent.

Ugh, today's a day where Magic the Gathering: Arena is just absolutely *obsessed* with fucking me on mana.

Start of the day game, I drew mana *every turn* for 11 turns.
Game just now, I just needed a white to swing the game. It gives it to me when it's too late, 9 turns in.

A black and white drawing of three dachshunds arranged vertically, each holding a different optical illusion object in its mouth, and the dogs themselves drawn as if a single line optical illusion. The top dog holds a Penrose triangle, the middle dog holds a Necker cube, and the bottom dog holds a Penrose trident. The dogs’ bodies are elongated in an exaggerated cartoon style. The artwork is signed β€œ@IndieTheIntrovert” in the bottom right corner.

Wow, awesome. This'll only be my third- for the longest time I just wasn't living anywhere near their tour. This time I'm just surprised, Boise is so small.

Ha! I'm seeing them Thursday night! It's been so long since I saw them live, and never at a venue this small.

SIGNALIS - Announcement Trailer

In case you're unfamiliar: Watch this, and if you feel it, purchase the game and don't look back. And for those whom it intrigues but they dislike horror- the game features no real jump scares, it's much more psychological and mood-based. It saturates you in unease. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxvp...

A screenshot from Signalis, of the main character LSTR's body being thrown back as her right arm comes loose, mechanical pieces shattering off and a white fluid blasting out, against a stark red background.

An image of LSTR's eye as shown on the main menu, most of the image dim but the bright blue glow from her iris providing a beautiful contrast.

Guh, I forgot just how resplendent Signalis is. It's one of the few games I'd easily put on the level of Shadow of the Colossus in how undeniable its art is deeply human, how clearly the creators have crafted something uniquely beautiful and captivating. Impossible to recreate by other hands.

Ugh, as usual Assetto Corsa disappoints me. I remember being displeased with the original, and now with Rally I can't help but wonder who in their right mind would think this is realistic.

No sound for impacts? No tire-on-road sounds? Such vague brake control? Lateral movement in general is wrong.

Finished the Pokemon Legends: Z-A campaign. It was... Alright. I wish the combat felt better. And honestly so much of it just felt like filler.

Lumiose also might be the worst video game world I've visited in awhile. Truly phoned in.

There has to be consequences for last night. Not just Schumer’s leadership- every last one of those eight need to be frozen out of Democratic Party funds. Those in blue states should be asked to resign. Completely blackball everyone involved.

He’s gestapo so fuck him, but there’s nothing wrong with how he’s holding it. One his finger is off the finger, two he’s pointing from the opposite side. It’s near impossible to have the gun level when you’re reaching across like that. It’s not an ideal pose but it isn’t an ideal position either.

What further angers me about this is that Bungie got Naughty Dog’s Last of Us multiplayer game axed from their β€œexpertise”. Bah.
