Squishmallows are a popular plush toy series that first debuted in 2017, but took off in popularity during the height of the pandemic. Collectors own dozens to hundreds of Squishmallows, and the obsession has been compared to the Beanie Baby boom.

I’ll admit, I started to feel just a little intrigued at how that might play out as I was typing it lol

This is like if Untitled Goose Game shifted to a JRPG at the halfway point where you now have to save the world from some ultra-powerful behind the scenes entity that had been manipulating the residents of Goosetown into its cult all along and you had to defeat him with QTE goose antics.

No, you are not the only one. You are never the only one. You also are ignoring that Nintendo has plenty of non-mature titles. Platinum went to other devs when they wanted to make 2, including Sony and Microsoft. They said no, Nintendo said yes and apparently 2 did well enough for a third.

But it’s really funny to watch the “anti-censorship” chuds work themselves up into a frenzy over something that’s completely optional.

You realize you can just not use the mode and it won’t affect you at all? I never get outrage about having options.

That is a truly bizarre hill to die on.

This kind of stuff is, as you note of course, entirely predictable and it seems frankly not enough consumers care. As a physical media embracing old person, I realized I lost the battle when my physical copy of the rebooted X-COM required me to download Steam and the game itself. I am not a proponent of piracy in an…

Mockery is one of the most effective means of combatting fascists. They rely on looking smarter / superior to their idiot supporters. Showing what dumbasses they are has a good chance of waking some of those fools up.

It’s not like rage and overreaction is the thing people like him feed on and rely on to remain relevant!

I installed this in the computer I also use to work, and oh boy what a mistake that was.

At least the Ouya actually happened, though. There’s zero chance of this thing ever existing.

But don’t worry. All the cryptosimps will be here to explain to you how this fantasy is supposed to work. Well they’ll try anyway, but all they’ll really do is shower you in buzzword diarrhea while failing to provide any context on why any of those things actually matter.

Look I’m a Quebec francophone and unwarranted cultural bashing aside I’m just as baffled with this law as anyone else. Some people have alluded to the notion in this comment section already, and I agree that the real goal here isn’t to defend the French language or whatever noble pretense the Legault government is…

I would love to be a fly on the wall in DoJ meeting rooms where they have discussions about whether they have enough to move forward with an indictment, the procedural hoops they’d potentially have to jump to secure a conviction, etc.

This would be fatal to any Democrat, and probably some Republicans. But for rank and file Republicans, and certainly for Donald Trump, it will be meaningless.

I think we all knew this tweet would age like milk

This will never happen, because this is America, and the rich don’t have laws.

Codifying gay marriage and other gay rights is a move that the Dem party could attempt, since previous SCOTUS rulings obviously can’t be relied on as un-reversible. Maybe such an attempt -and others- would fail, but are they even willing to discuss the option? Will they expend any actual effort to address this issue…

When the country collapses it’ll be b/c Republicans pushed it over the edge. None of these “wedge” issues have any bearing on their day to day lives whatsoever. Yet the party of “small gov’t” seems to think it does and that they have some divine right to tell people how to live their lives.
