I think about it every time I pay for health insurance, personally, which is every paycheck.

They’re who made the other one posted here, too - you can actually see the head on the gallery there. Absolutely excellent work.

And where are democrats screenings and making this a big deal?

Trump actually (probably accidentally) made a masterful play in 2020. Democrats spent 4 years shutting down his insane-sounding claims that the election was stolen, and the ‘The election was stolen’ rhetoric became so synonymous with crazy that they couldn’t even question the results in 2024 despite obvious interference, and I think it’s still keeping them from putting up a fight over it now. They’re afraid that all of the republicans will just throw everything they said in 2020 right back at them, as if this situation is even remotely the same thing, and that it will make them look like the crazy ones.

Not exactly what you’re looking for, but it’s at least not plush. Certainly you could commission something with more realistic looking scales if you were willing to pay for it.

Wow, Cave Story updates in 2026 is not something I would have expected at all. Looks like a pretty major engine upgrade, too.

Trust me, literally no one from the US needs a reminder that our health care system sucks. We think about that all the time.

I’m glad the creature collector + sandbox game mashup is becoming a genre; I hope we continue to see it evolve in new ways, though, and not just stagnate in the ‘survival crafting’ archetype. An open-world sandbox game with creature collecting elements doesn’t need those survival crafting parts to be compelling, in my opinion.

If democrats ran on a hard stance of “We will prosecute the fuck out of everyone involved in the current administration”, they’d sweep the midterms. Then if they actually followed through on it, they’d also sweep in 2028, but we all know they won’t do either.

If he got a Vance pardon, that’s exactly when I’d expect him to do it. He’s just narcissistic enough to be like “Ha! I won and you losers lost. Here’s all the names of the people who were fucking kids right alongside me, but I got pardoned and I’m untouchable. Good luck, losers.”

I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets Epsteined. He knows a lot of things, or at least has access to a lot of information, and he has a bad habit of running his mouth. All it’d take is one unhinged tweet where he throws everyone else under the bus to put a lot of political careers into question.

The actual quote that the tagline paraphrases:

“And so Tim has gone from making games to making one game, spending all his time doing that and trying to make as much money as possible,” says Faliszek. “And I guess well, hey, Tim, Gabe’s better at that than you. I don’t know what to tell you, man, because you stopped caring about making things.”

Other good quote:

Faliszek says it infuriates him to see “lazy dev” complaints when companies like Epic “just cut them off at the knees, man.” He suggests looking at the documentary about Half-Life and Valve: “And how many people still work there after all those years?”

And it turns out the salary was good. Very good. “They care so much about what they’re making that they’re still there and they’re all rewarded handsomely,” says Faliszek. "To be clear, I could retire, I worked my ass off at Valve, and I could retire today. I made more money than I’ll ever make. And the money I made is dwarfed by the people who were there longer than me or before me.

"But Valve understood that. That’s how you get this thing where people cared, people worked hard, people stayed because they felt they were improving. What they were building on was something that they had agency over and owned. Like, even now, I’m excited when I see the Valve announcement about the VR stuff and everything, that makes me happy.

No wonder why they have a higher rate of obesity

To be fair, this isn’t just about portion sizes, it’s about what’s in those portions. We have a ton of heavily processed, wildly unhealthy food options, and they’re all the budget friendly ones. Getting things like fresh fruits and vegetables is much more expensive than it should be, so we have this weird situation where it’s possible for someone to be both food insecure and also overweight, just because the food they do get is so unhealthy and fattening.

I don’t know the wording on the declaration itself, but it’s distinctly possible that the US prison system is in direct opposition to it.

Really hope Venezuela tells us the US to get fucked, after all the bullshit the US put them through in the past year.

I wonder how many of those 1999 registered voters would be disenfranchised if this came into effect, but don’t realize it because they didn’t read what ‘documented proof of citizenship’ actually entails…

If this results in the AAA games industry dying and having a full reset in a couple years when this all blows over, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I don’t think indie games are going anywhere, so it’s not like we won’t have anything new to play, and AAA studios have just become so generally awful that there wouldn’t be any great loss there.

It’s much more important than the ‘Obama wears brown suit’ thing. Firstly, because it’s incredibly disrespectful to dead soldiers, but secondly, and arguably more importantly, because if he wants to drive a wedge between himself and the military, we want to let him. We want them all to know - to be unable to ignore! - just how little respect he has for them.

Maybe we should learn a lesson from Inglourious Basterds. Invite them all to a movie premier.

Maybe it’s just me. I like Rage against the Machine, though. :)

Edit: Pulled up a random Angine de Poitrine track and it’s pretty fire, not gonna lie!
