They've all been driven to Bluesky now, so I dunno if anyone here's gonna see if they do, anyway. I saw Big Joel reacted to it but in the most shitty milquetoast way imaginable, which is pretty par for the course with him, disappointingly.

Jesus, scurrying to her redditor sycophants because if she posts this to twitter she'll be rightfully ripped apart is a level of cowardice even I never expected of her but here we are. We've discovered a new level of being washed up.

Ghislaine Maxwell is still in prison for no particular reason, then, I suppose.

Wtf, why who wanted this lmfao. I watched about half the first season and it was an entertaining enough gun-jerk, but I had to tap out when the MC started gaslighting the elf girl character into thinking she was her dead elf father. I wouldn't call it terrible, but what can you do with "and then the modern military utterly washes the huge midieval military state in minutes" and keep it actually interesting?

I guess there was that hilarious scene where the spec ops squads of all the big nations were tricked into killing each other by the JSDF spec ops, over possession of the obligatory loli 500 year old goddess, who was a diplomatic guest of Japan at the time.

It's the official title, from the channel. They posted it two days ago, because it's relevant

The original sketch title was "moon bears"

Since switching to newpipe on mobile their download feature has been a godsend

What a beautiful Duwang

EA

Yeah, there was a big community event thing, as well as the May the 4th star wars marketing lead to a big resurgence in population since Andor also ended at around the same time. There hasn't really been a big Stars War game released besides that single player series that I found to be pretty boring, personally.

It's been an interesting phenomenon watching these franchises kinda sorta fail to capitalize on their own hype by not having simultaneous releases of a new game, thinking back a similar thing happened to Fallout when the TV show came out and everyone found themselves picking up Fallout 4 and 76 if only because they're the latest in the series even if they're ages old now in gamer years.

My friend got me into their Factorio server and I mostly just watch them build their incredible machine of train and conveyer, but when I play alone I get to feel my brain wrinkling in effort to try and build a nice efficient factory lol

I understand now what everyone said about it, in hindsight. It's terrific.

Besides that I got caught up in the Battlefront 2 hype wave and have been enjoying that well enough, especially for a game I got for cheap (free? I cannot really recall)

I've also been trying to get some friends to try the demo for the new game Jump Ship which is a pretty slick game that mixes so many influences I love in a specific way that appeals to me: a little bit of Sea of Thieves in the coop ship management, a dash of roguelike by making the 'jump route', all playing in a comfy Destiny clone FPS system. Glad people are trying to make the coop spaceship command sim I've always wanted but now I need friends to play it

God, this stream was the most unhinged he's ever been lmfao he was just constantly interrupting conversations with stims. His friends didn't get a reference he made so he made it everyone's problem.

It poses one of those macabre strategic questions: wounded IOF take resources and manpower to keep alive, not to mention morale and mental drain, so letting the medevac go through makes decent tactical sense, in a way.

Kinda wishcasting here, but does anyone recall a meme video of This song over images of what I think is that drawing of Stirner along with some other Leftist heads and can you share it with me, I can't seem to find it anywhere

"I got hairy legs" is used for the best soundbyte on my discord

I always appreciate the dynamism of the pose for the fellas who were in the middle of throwing a grenade, I don't think they had any other weapon

Honorable mention to the binocs officer, used to love that one

Thats such a complex design lol giving the mousie a little housie

I had good success using a few of these little tip traps a few years ago, when my folks had a mouse problem

The purpose of a system is what it does, so too with it's intellectuals.

Gonna say, Stanley doesn't impress me with his work. I read 'How Fascism Works' and it's pretty typical liberal fash apologia; focussing solely on the cultural flashpoints the fascists like to use to gain power and barely if ever addresses the material interests bound up in fascist states and how the rich business class props them up. After having read it I found Blackshirts and Reds to be all but a direct counter argument to basically everything he says and properly addresses the most important question about fascist states: for whom does the state benefit? Parenti never shies away from explaining that they only gain power because they have rich sponsors who want for state power and how it contrasts so much with Socialism which puts the proletariat first and foremost. Indeed, Stanley never properly goes into any of the class dynamics at play when it comes to the levers of power.

I think it's still my favorite out of the series, even if only because there's this intangible spirit of possibility in the setting, until the sequels took a more concrete tongue in cheek tone. It has this compelling balance of darkness and humor that appeals to me, before it became mostly jokes with an internet meme appeal, even if I share the mainstream opinion that -strictly speaking- the series gameplay has only improved.
