The photos they chose for this are funny. It looks like trump is dancing in celebration after being defended by Eric Adams.

Has Nintendo ever had the entire rom of a major game leak before it was released?

I think what they want is a very specific outcome, and they would prefer to be the ones that bring it into existence, but they’re also ok with the other party doing it as long as the outcome is achieved. They want to win, but they’re ok with losing if it means the larger project remains on the rails.

They’re probably doing it so that you have to stay on their search engine result page, this drumming up more ad impressions.

I think it’ll be very close but Kamala will win. I think she’ll barely squeak by in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, Trump will barely win Georgia, she’ll win Michigan and Nevada more solidly, and Arizona will go for Trump. I think this outcome will be less of a reflection of support for Kamala and more of a loss in enthusiasm for Trump this time around. This is a group of people who have been told over and over that the vote is rigged, therefore their vote doesn’t matter, and being generally lazy, they may be looking for an excuse to just stay at home.

I say this fully expecting to be proven totally wrong in a month and therefore be completely owned, but that’s what my gut tells me now. It really could go either way.

Museums are about preserving the authenticity of their subjects. In this case, that means preserving the look and feel of playing a game as authentically as possible, which means running it on the original hardware. This isn’t just hypocritical considering their stance on emulation, it’s bad museum curation.

Makes sense, thanks!

Ah, I see. Thanks!

I doubt this is real - why would it have been written in English? Did the hackers say they translated it? Seems odd.

“Now let’s burn down the observatory so that this never happens again!”

Googling around but not seeing anything - did something happen in France?

Why did she say “but you know, anything’s possible”

The joke of the trend is that the person points out that they’re at an event that would be unlikely to play hot to go and then smash cut to the song being played

How did whatever social media intern that put this together misunderstand the comedy of the trend they were imitating?

Who’s joining me in Corsicado?

I personally think astrology is destructive to the people who take part in it. I see a lot of arguments along the lines of, “people have fun with it and it gives them comfort” etc. and if that’s all it was, that would be fine, but anyone who’s met someone really into astrology can see that it primes people to apply a totally illogical and incoherent framework to problems in their lives. The problem with that is that you’re never going to grow and learn as a person if you continually grab for this totally illogical tool in your emotional toolbelt every time one of life’s challenges arises. You’ll never reflect on the emotional genesis of a lot of your feelings or responses to the world if you just think, “I did that because I’m a Leo” or whatever. You’ll never get to, “I realize now that I responded to x situation negatively because y factor happens to be a trigger for me and I need to be conscious of that in the future” if you never get past “I responded to x situation negatively because mercury is in retrograde.” Overall I think it’s a toxic trend in our society that prevents people from being able to grow in a healthy way.

How does astrology explain two different people with the same birthday having radically different personalities and traits?

Ah gotcha. In that case

ahem

I HEARBY DENOUNCE VIOLENCE IN ALL ITS FORMS.

Alright, with that out of the way, Eve Barlow, may I please continue voicing protest against the slaughter of thousands actively occurring right now?

Am I correctly understanding that what she’s saying here boils down to “you are hypocritical (antisemitic) if you only care when children are killed in apartheid within the occupied zone, but not when they die of other causes in an imaginary region of Palestine that’s not under occupation”?

A newt?!

There are times where people walk away from a piece of media with a weird interpretation and are accused of “no media literacy” and it’s a bit harsh because the piece of media might be more subtle in its politics or message or whatever, but bioshock literally opens by delivering a libertarian screed and then IMMEDIATELY showing you the havoc and ruin that resulted. There’s not more than two dots to connect. It’s so on the nose. How could you walk away with a different interpretation?
