I do love the old Marathon games, but the fact that the very first stage of the very first game features a maze of overlapping ducts that's nearly incomprehensible (even if you're looking at the minimap) is a very honest omen of what the series has in store for you.
Also consider how many followers on Twitter are bots, spammers, and/or long abandoned accounts. If you can't replicate your following on Bsky that you had on Twitter, you probably didn't have a real following on there either.
I'd recommend not thinking of 7 Wonders as the "full" version of 7 Wonders Duel. They're very different games, and if anything Duel is the more involved of the two.
It's got to be an extremely misguided attempt to appeal to the mobile gaming market, right? They saw people throwing money at games with touch controls, and somehow thought the controls were what was keeping them from playing on PS5 instead.
we are at the point of "how can a legislative body force the executive and courts to follow the laws it is passing" and I do not think there are good answers to this question
I do wonder what things about modern literature will seem completely incomprehensible to future readers.
Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.
I've argued, only half-jokingly, that things would be better if all law-enforcement uniforms were designed to be extremely emasculating. You shouldn't be allowed to do the job if you feel like you need to look tough while doing it.
There are so many things that I really wish people would say to his face on camera, but they never do.
Even something as largely irrelevant as confronting him with "that's not how percentages work" or "a cognitive test is not an intelligence test" would at least be cathartic.
The linework and shading for the HD Trilogy is just atrocious. I love the series, but I have to play the DS versions because the HD art bothers me so much. At least HD Apollo Justice fares much better.
Being "as big as Twitter" was honestly one of the worst things about Twitter, so I'm not sure why we'd want it here.
I think it's worth reiterating to people who despair because they feel Newsom is inevitable: the non-incumbent candidate is almost never the person who is "obvious" this far out. If anything, Newsom trying to paint himself as the early choice just gives people more time to dislike him.
Any time someone says that AI makes their work better, what I hear is an admission that they are embarrassingly bad at their job.
I do feel like you started to see a swing the other way in the 2010s with a wave of new shows that celebrated empathy and sincerity, so if you're younger than say, 30, you probably don't have context for what it was like before that.
While they weren't the origin of the sentiment, South Park sure did a lot to perpetuate the idea that it was uncool to care about things, and that there was no such thing as sincerity.
I don't know how much of the blame they held, but they sure didn't help things.
A Facebook post by Sticker Mule's owner Anthony Constantino. The post says "I support ICE ICE BABY. If you want a FREE T-shirt DM me your email". It has an image linked of a black shirt with ice-looking text reading "I support ICE ICE Baby"
The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).
If anything it just makes it all the more impressive when a cheap game ranks high on the sellers list.
To be fair, the top sellers is ranked by dollars spent, not units sold, so a $5 indie game needs to sell at least 110 copies to every single 512 gig Steam Deck OLED sold to rank higher than it.

My first family computer was a Mac IIsi in 1990.
No one called them "diskettes". At least not conversationally.
I want to live in a world where Democratic party leadership and elected officials are at least as radical as the host of Jeopardy
Basically I find it hard to avoid the conclusion that conservatism is an elaborate defense of selfishness, no matter how refined, and that it always tends towards fascism and authoritarianism. And that I can't think of any "good" form of it ever existing. Whereas left politics have enormous variety.
Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.
Say bad things are bad.
I do wonder if the fact that the hotel industry employs a lot of immigrants leads them to be particularly concerned about being targeted if they don't capitulate.
Regardless, I'm never staying at a Hilton again.
Long story, but an ex of mine played one of those NFT/crypto games. I was absolutely baffled when she explained it to me. I told her there was no possible way that a game that cost $800 in NFTs just to play was sustainable, but she ignored me. It tanked about a month after I broke up with her.
My favorite thing about Triscuits is that no one could remember why they were called that, so someone tracked down the earliest advertisement for them and discovered it's short for "Electric Biscuits". Because electric ovens were an exciting new thing at the time.
Apparently the songwriters wrote the music for season 3 of Only Murders?
Dealing with inventory is already usually my least favorite part of games. Having to manage an inventory of items to figure out what other items I can make (and then have to manage) is just making the misery recursive.
Cranking the jams today, because I don't want to risk even the tiniest chance of any moment of silence going to Dick Cheney.
I've seen it said that libertarians are just "conservatives who want to smoke pot", which is of course reductive, dismissive, and from my experience true more often than not.
