I use my local library from my phone with the Libby app. I don't know if this benefits them as much as going there in person does. I did go there to get a library card though, you need one to sign up in the app.

But they have a great catalog of ebooks that I can borrow from, I've read the bulk of The Dresden Files that way recently and I'm about to finish it if the last two books ever come off reservation.

Maybe silicone would be a good material for this?

The Last Podcast On The Left is the true crime podcast that got me listening to podcasts in general. They've got like 10 years worth of backlog and they're still going strong, I love those boys. Hail yourselves!

This explains a lot about Elden Ring, and I wish it didn't.

On machines that were actually strong enough to run it, it was mostly fine. I played on PC and while I admit the later balancing update was probably necessary, I didn't run into most of the real nasty bugs people liked to talk about. I had a great time putting in 100 or so hours in version 1.

A solid 80% or more of all the problems Cyberpunk had at launch stemmed from trying to launch it on last-gen consoles. It absolutely was not intended for PS4 or XB1 and targeting those platforms was a mistake. Once they pulled availability for those and buckled down on getting it prettied up for next gen, the quality jumped by a mile within the next year and a half of updates.

The launch was rough, I grant you that, and maybe I'm just simping for CDPR but even at the time I was in the vocal minority saying, hey this game really isn't that bad if you give it a chance and run it on hardware that it was intended for.

And of course now with its updates and DLC it's just genuinely a great game.

W-we gotta get out of here Morty! Everything here is on a fucking cob!

Yeah but to be fair I also saw three different news stories from different states about magats setting fire to ballot boxes this year. Imagine what else isn't getting reported on.

Yeah Facebook isn't anonymous at all and is full of more trolls, liars, bad faith actors, and corpos than anywhere else.

That's not crazy at all, in fact I'm surprised it's only 40% considering conservative leaders have gutted, stripped and replaced everything the school stands for as well as rocketing down the school ranking lists because of it. I'd be more concerned about the 60% of faculty that remain, personally.

They'll certainly try, but you know as well as I do how friendly the gov is going to be towards that.

I don't know about the rest of them, but Ben Franklin sure envisioned some orgies. Attended a few of 'em too.

Most other countries won't accept American refugees without qualifications that most of us don't have. So a lot of us are going to be stuck here, for better or worse.
