Thank you; I made the alex jones connection right after I commented. Feels like it also works as a grim joke at the usa’s expense!

As someone who voted for her, I’m completely on board with never seeing her or hearing from her again. She utterly failed — lost a (mostly*) free and fair election to a demented fascist idiot who’s destroying the country. Enough of the responsibility for our current situation rests on her shoulders that she can fuck right off forever, along with Biden, the Bushes, the Clintons, Mitch McConnell, Joe Lieberman, Newt Gingrich and all the other neocons, neolibs, and corrupt, amoral, greedy, misanthropic assholes that got us here.

She might survive as a politician if she took responsibility for the loss, and pushed for change in the Democratic party. Hopefully, she’ll do that, and not follow Clinton’s example. Seems unlikely.

• There was probably some amount of fuckery, but if the margins were as wide as they should have been, they couldn’t have pulled it off.

I’m unfamiliar with this medal, but can only assume it’s intended to commemorate the US losing the information war. Seems a bit macabre.

I hated Myst as a kid. Not just because I disliked the gameplay, but because its inexplicable popularity heralded a shift in the adventure game market. Instead of more Sierra or LucasArts-type games, there were, for years, scads of shitty, boring Myst-likes.

I do have them tagged as “nazi trash”, so that checks out.

I was on the ride last summer, and the only name that I remember being mentioned is Davy Jones, of mythical locker fame. They did add him to the ride in 2006, but he was created for the movie in 2003.

I’m only acquainted with her being a TERF. Is she a tankie, as well? That seems like an unlikely ideology for a billionaire to espouse.

'tisn’t the least bit funny.

Fyi, it’s martial law.

I tried to get into Fallout 4 for the second or third time recently, and have just given up, and uninstalled it. It’s the simplified dialogue that ultimately robs it of any meaning for me. Nobody has anything very interesting to say, and the player just has a few one-word prompts to respond with. I don’t suppose that’s any different in Fallout: London? I imagine they’d have had to go to unreasonable lengths to change it.

His chief weapon was surprise, iirc. That’s all, just surprise.

This is from Waterworld, right? Troublingly relatable.

I mean, occasionally they do. Always popping up where you least expect (or want) them, in my experience.

Yeah, probably safest to stock up on onions now, so you won’t be caught out. I always keep some on standby for this kind of thing.

The single-player NWN used 3rd edition. I played a lot of NWN2, which was based on 3.5.

Samesies. I think it didn’t help that I played the sequel first. It’s just really damned dated. Some older games age really well, but NWN did not.

It’s true that I’m not on any other social media, but I’m here every day. There really hasn’t been much talk about Veilguard at all. Nothing like, say, all the Starfield criticism.

Is it a big commercial failure? I noped out of the series after seeing the direction they went with Inquisition, but I haven’t really seen any negative press about it. Kinda seems like the article’s just trying to stir up some shit

They’re just more people who’ve fallen victim to a well-funded propaganda campaign. Not much different than trumpets—in fact, they share many talking points! Amusingly, both groups would be offended by the comparison.

I’d hazard a guess that they were referring to the “targeted killing of ethnic Russians” made up shit. That’s just a Kremlin talking point. Shades of Operation Himmler. I don’t suppose you can cite any reputable sources for it?
