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.

Exactly right. The left/center share didn't surge relative to 2022 - it fell by 13%. Meanwhile RN surged by 60% in its share of seats.

So it's reassuring in the near term that the center-left "surged" relative to initial polling, but in the longer term it is quite concerning that the far right is actually the segment gaining ground.

My trans friends are what keeps me committed to voting Biden no matter how disappointed I am in him. Things are already really scary for them right now and I can't be complicit in making them worse, even through inaction.

My S10e is cracked but only all over the backplate. Which is also no longer really attached to the phone. I'm driving this thing into the ground.

We are all Lysistrata now

Nothing convincingly demonstrates your iron grasp on power like being afraid of pretty plants

Agreed, the drops under the tongue are a lot easier to do at home than the needles. Though I'm not sure about delivery - for whatever reason my allergist always required me to pick them up in person from his office. Not sure if that's regulation or just a quirk of that one practice.

You are not permitted hot coffee, warm milk, or a yogurt drink. You are permitted 750g of cottage cheese, each day, for a month.

One of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn't belong...

I was expecting the article to provide a little more clarification on that point but I guess they decided to just leave it hanging.

The humor reminds me of early reddit. Very needy. Lots of Star Trek, Stargate and Linux. Of course there are a lot of differences too, but it does feel a little closer to the original techie reddit base.

Bots and grandparents getting fleeced by bots.

The only good adaptation of Avatar is the Ember Island Players' version from Book 3.

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.

But what if you're not in london

Few things are more American than sending off massive bombs to be dropped on destitute brown people.

This is what, their fourth?

Yeah that combined with him checking every single risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea.

95 Dems voted yes. 92 voted "present," 13 voted "nay," and 13 did not vote.

Republicans - who again control the chamber - voted 216-1 in favor.

I stand by the accuracy of my comment.

This is happening in the House that is controlled by Republicans. Unfortunately a lot of Democrats voted for it too, but the only meaningful opposition also came from Dems. So Dems are split while Rs are all in on the genocide.

Funny how the Israelis are called "settlers" and the Palestinians are called "terrorists."
