Damn I hate having options

As I get older I find I just don't even have the time for AAA games. Other than Elden Ring, I haven't played a AAA game in goodness knows how long. 80-100 hours of playtime is basically a year-long commitment.

I love that there are so many indie games that offer a more compact experience and seem easier to put down and pick back up. Much more my speed these days.

I agree though that we're at a point of oversaturation. Steam is full of shovelware and barely discernable clones of crafting-survival games. But I hope the studios doing interesting work are able to survive this period so we can continue to benefit from their creativity.

He's not going to "fail" in his second term. If anything, we should be glad his first term failed - that due to the chaos and incompetence of his administration they failed to achieve any of the horrific shit he had discussed on the campaign trail. His only legislative win was a tax cut for the wealthy.

Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 will make sure that doesn't happen during a second administration. They will purge the civil service and restaff with party loyalists who won't be held up by due process or legality.

The terrifying thing is not another Trump failure. The terrifying thing is if he and the Christian nationalists backing him succeed.

Ah, an adult rhino. A unit I work with on a daily basis and can easily comprehend, unlike arcane measurements of pounds or kilograms.

Who would be attracted to this billionaire sex symbol, who's one of the most successful performers on the planet? Madness, I tell you.

We had a neighborhood cat who would show up at the back door meowing for treats and scritches. I am strongly allergic and would run inside after petting her to wash my hands thoroughly and take two Benadryl.

I would still break out in hives all over my arms every single time. But I couldn't just not pet her! This meme is perfect.

Rest in peace, Bella. You were a very good kitty.

Taking the edge off.

Missing a 95% chance shot in Xcom and subsequently having your whole party wiped out by aliens

Pick one

And if the death of, by the latest count, 764 Israeli civilians is a Holocaust, what does that make the death of 12,000 Palestinian civilians?

That S looks way cooler than this car, though.

It wasn't worth $44 billion when he bought it. That's why he tried desperately to back out. The reason the company is in such a dire financial situation is specifically because it was bought at that price and now pays debt service far disproportionate to its actual worth.

You're also confusing company valuation with operating revenue. $44 billion isn't how much cash they have on hand and $75 million doesn't get subtracted from that, so expressing that percentage makes no sense. One number isn't a percent of the other.

Twitter's ad revenue is already down more than 50% since the takeover and this is $75 million more of lost revenue on top of that. The company was maybe on a path to profitability at full advertising revenue and without the debt service, but now it is burning cash even as revenues tank.

I dunno, I think he sold a heck of a lot of lumpy jesus pillows. If he didn't decide to start lying about the election he probably would have lived a very comfortable life.

Besides architecture. Cathedrals are dope. But everything else, yeah.
