Given the outpouring of support nationwide for Mamdani, this feels like a bold move. If they misjudge the population, this could end up providing unprecedented support for these candidates rather than scaring people away from them.

Another Crab’s Treasure is excellent.

Etrian Odyssey HD is a good game but has Denuvo DRM for some reason so do with that what you will.

TW:WH3 is kind of a mess with an absurd amount of overpriced DLC; what you’re getting here is only a small piece of the game.

Can’t comment on the rest, as I haven’t played them.

No, we’re not, but we don’t know what to do. Do you?

Gotcha, thanks for the context.

Why are they putting Israel and Israeli in quotes? Are they implying that it wasn’t actually Israelis perpetrating this, or that it isn’t actually Israel performing the investigation? Or is this some political statement I’m not privy to?

I know nothing about the situation that resulted in the ban and won’t comment on it, but based purely on your attitude and rhetoric in this post, I’m inclined to think that it was warranted and that, honestly, we’re probably better off without you.

John Oliver just did a show where this was a key talking point, as well.

You mean like ObamaCare, which they oppose largely on the basis of the name alone?

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.

If Trump was anyone else (who isn’t rich), he’d have been declared a vexatious litigant a long time ago.

Of course it doesn’t. It only applies to murder - you know, the thing black people and minorities do - not heroic acts in the line of duty, like cops and ICE do, or unfortunate accidents and self-defense, like white republicans commit.

The X comments - particularly the absolute deluge of maga folks completely missing the joke and accusing him of ripping off Trump’s merchandise - is absolutely the best part of this whole thing.

If there really was such a political party or movement, then they would have offered me something.

No, they wouldn’t, because you’ve shown them through voter apathy that they can safely ignore you. Doing things you want politically won’t benefit them and ignoring you won’t harm them. If you aren’t going to engage with them, why would they engage with you?

I hope you mean that you vote for third party candidates, rather than not voting. Voting does matter - you’re sending a message by who you do or don’t vote for. Not voting sends the message that you aren’t engaged with politics and therefore your opinions don’t matter. Voting for a third party sends the message that you aren’t happy with the current status quo.

“Decent reviews”, but it’s a 71 on Metacritic. While in a normal world a 71/100 probably would be “decent”, I, and I think the majority of people, see a 71/100 and assume it’s a steaming pile, because of how absurdly skewed review scores are.

TL;DR is at MTG put forth a bill to remove funding for Israel’s missile defense system from the US budget. 429/435 House reps voted against it, including AOC, but then she made a very tone-deaf tweet basically saying “The bill was trying to remove funding for Israel’s ability to defend themselves from the people they’re genociding, of course I voted against it!” and it’s causing massive backlash against her.

Calling it now: Putin and Trump had a falling out, Trump wants Zelenskyy to attack Moscow hoping that it either 1) kills Putin or 2) puts the pressure on Putin to capitulate (to Trump) somehow.

This is nothing to do with ceasefire talks or Ukraine at all. This is between Trump and Putin.

We’re intending to get organized a bit earlier next year - love to have you then!

Shut up and take my money.

At some point, he’ll piss off enough people that the world at large will just look the other way when it happens.
