Strom Thurmond lived to be 101. He was in in congress from 1956 to 2003. We can all hope for the Big Beautiful Obituary, but only the good seem to die young.

I put the STD in Stud, all I need is U.

Some folks might be on some prosperity gospel bullshit, but I don’t think Elon, Zuck, et. al. believe in a power above themselces.

Not shocking that a party isn’t against things like big business when thats where they get their money from

I have torrented Mario Kart World one thousand times since it launched and have thus cost Nintendo 70,000 dollars. If I can keep up this pace, Nintendo will be bankrupt within the next year or two.

Not shocking considerimg Denuvo is an ongoing cost (IIRC) and Kunitsu is over the hump of the majority of its sales.

The [Marines] $57.2 billion budget request is part of the Navy’s $292.2 billion overall proposed spending plan for fiscal 2026, which begins Oct. 1. The budget request reflects a more than 6% increase from the 2025 request.

More then three times the budget of the Marines.

If he ran on the, “Oh yeah I’ll definitely be in charge wink wink” platform he prob could get the MAGA vote, sadly enough.

Iran can prove sky is blue.

Disappointing but not shocking. Game was a mess at launch.

Yes, please steal 5-6% of the R vote.

The key to making gaming on macs great… you mean having games?

I’m not saying it’s a desert… but no one is calling it a tropical paradise either.

Looking at the video I wouldn’t call it a meltdown. He seemed upset, but also kind of out of it, like grandpa who doesn’t necessarily have dementia but you can tell that engine ain’t getting full RPM’s anymore.

If I had to choose between a bomber and something like r/jailbait (which was the medias first big look at reddit) as the sites big first exposure to the world, I’m going for the bomber every time.

We’re hittin the big time boys!

I’m of the opinion that MLK Jr. was largely successful because folks saw the alternative was Malcolm X… and they still fought MLK Jr. tooth and nail.

On one hand, great! On the other, wonder if this is in response to justice democrats targeting him.

I use an app called KnownCalls that sends anything that isn’t in your contact list straight to voicemail. Added bonus: No ads, free app.

I add a lot of random games on my steam wishlist, many aren’t out yet. The oldest one I’ve wishlisted that is unreleased, by a good margin, is Silksong, back on 6/3/20. Next is Showa American Story on 1/8/22, then Clockwork Revolution (by the guys who did Wasteland 3 and Tides of Numenaria, good pedigree!) on 6/22/23. There’s a fair amount more that are closer to current day. Ultimately if these games never come out, I lose nothing. If/when they do then I get a lil e-mail that lets me know, and I can be like “oh yeah I did wishlist that didn’t I?”, then I look at a few reviews to make sure it isn’t absolute trash, and if it isn’t, I buy a cool game I wanted a few years ago and forgot about.

That’s where Silksong lies for me.

I feel real bad for folks who are deeply invested in it though, like brother there are a GRIP of metroidvanias out there. You are absolutely eating good in metroidvanias, don’t let yourself starve while you wait for Silksong, it’s only going to magnify any quibbles you have with it. Play Guns of Fury. Play Animal Well. Play 9 Years of Shadows. Play Pseudoregalia. Don’t let Silksong build itself up in your head.
