Just be glad your sona has fingers and is roughly the same size as you. This could have been awkward.

Or he asked a subordinate to fuck, and she answered, “What’s in it for me?”, and he wishes he had a good answer.

“Lower the temperature of rhetoric” was the actual quote.

‘Lower the temperature’ is a bit of a weird phrase to choose after a church gets burned down.

Spotify has this currently. It’s an AI DJ that will introduce blocks of music similar to what you’d expect from a radio DJ. I don’t think it’s too popular, but I actually kind of like it. It’s definitely more interesting to listen to than just putting on a playlist - it pulls in music you’ve liked / favorited and plays genre-centric or themed blocks, and sometimes tosses in new stuff that Spotify thinks you might like. You can freely skip tracks, and if you skip a few in a row it’ll take the hint and move onto something else.

I am loving Hades 2, but I hope they don’t make Hades 3, or at least, not right away. Supergiant’s entire catalogue has been fantastic, and the diversity of genre and game style has been a great time to play through. It feels almost like a waste for them to make a third Hades when they could make something else as unique as Transistor or Pyre. Seeing the interesting worlds they concoct is a big part of the joy of playing their games.

This woman is using her standard-issue hand-held matter replicator to fabricate an ice cream cone in her hand. How hard was that?

Calling it now: Trump uses this as an excuse to deploy the national guard to NYC and potentially start arresting people without evidence, claiming some kind of grand conspiracy against him.

This is the best out-of-context headline I’ve read all month.

There’s problematic cases like information on active spies (for example) that would make it hard to remove it entirely, but I agree with you that it could / should be drastically reduced. Obviously this is coming from someone without top secret clearance so I really have no idea how damaging unredacting everything suddenly would be, but there have been many cases where things were redacted or classified purely because it would make the government look bad if it were released, and that, in my opinion, is bullshit. That should be public knowledge.

Okay, I wasn’t aware that I had to tailor my comment to be consumed by extreme pedants. Allow me to revise my statement:

“This should apply to everything that’s created for public consumption, not only software.”

I would have thought that would be implied, but I guess not. Should I explicitly state that it also doesn’t apply to military hardware, or can we just accept that a certain degree of reasonableness must be applied, given this is an internet forum, not a legal document?

This should apply to everything, not only software. If it’s funded by taxes, it should be freely available to everyone (or provided at cost, depending on the thing in question).

Please let this result in a third, truly leftist party in the US. Please, please, please.

So, we’re considering the Fox News anchor whose comments led to the homeless encampment shootings to be terrorists, then, right?

That’s like the “We can’t have gun regulation because criminals will ignore them, then they’ll be the only ones with guns” argument, which is also bullshit.

I wouldn’t have beaten the ‘true’ final boss without them. No way in hell.

Nine Sols did this perfectly. It’s another very hard metroidvania, but it has some options you can enable if you want to that adjust the difficulty in a variety of very tangible ways. I wish that was standard.

It really wouldn’t take much. Just some accessibility options to address some of the most punishing mechanics would do it. Would be great if mods solved this.

The high points of the game are very good. The low points ruin it, in my opinion. I get that frustration might be fun for some people, but I find it discouraging and I don’t feel like Silksong wants me to be successful. It feels like it wants me to feel frustrated and angry, and that’s not an experience I want to have. I doubt I’ll finish the game, which sucks, because I loved Hollow Knight, and I love the parts of Silksong that aren’t just making me mad.

It’s the primary component in acid rain! In its gaseous form, it can cause severe burns from only brief contact! And would you believe that autopsies reveal this dangerous compound in the bodies of almost all deceased people? It should be outlawed!

Fun fact: It’s actually possible for two countries to both be authoritarian!
