Prove... what?...

EL endorsed her before she decided to fuck up her career and also the lives of her constituents, presumably. I’m not sure what your point is. I did not make any claim that EMILY’s List is an organization with progressive priorities - they certainly aren’t. There are pretty obvious exceptions to the…

Ugh, conflicted feelings. I am regularly vocal about the loss of Hawken any time the discord chat turns into “hey, why aren’t there more mech games?”. I have positive memories of the gameplay and the visual design was just stunning. But there is a big gaping mech pvp hole in my heart and a PvE experience will not fill…

I wouldn’t call it careerism - her career is dead now. She might be able to land a position at an NGO or something after she gets absolutely carpet bombed in her next primary by Emily’s List, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, likely the state Democratic apparatus, but she just burned so many bridges that she’s going to be…

It’s not a long con. It’s just the kind of people who all too often seek out public office. I work in politics/campaigns/governments in a different state. Our state legislature is riddled with petty, self-aggrandizing sociopaths just like Cotham. They don’t flip parties because that would consign themselves to…

Yeah. Lightfall was the worst-value expansion in a long time. It’s still riddled with major bugs, including in the raid. And the season did absolutely nothing to resolve the laughably bad excuse for a story.

I’m fortunate enough to be friends with a bunch of engineering majors who have frankensteined the kits together as buttons and wires and drum pedals fail etc but afaik good condition Xbox One instruments will sell for potentially hundreds of dollars. I dunno about the older stuff, I imagine the Xbone version is the…

Between peripheral costs and licensing fees, I understand why we haven’t received another one, and why their follow up release Fuser had to die too (even though it was an exceptionally cool product despite being pretty niche).

It would be neat if they’d let one of these peripheral makers produce third party options,…

I mean, we have solved the climate problem, so to speak. We know exactly what we need to do and we know when we should have done it by. It’s a people problem we have to solve. How do we explain to people that the fossil fuel industry has extraction plans for hundreds of gigatons more fossil carbon than we can safely…

Guitar Hero is a good time, but I dream of another Rockband release. Rockband 4 was the centerpiece of every Friday night with my friends in college, and through much of our 20s. We still get together from time to time to belt out bad renditions of Blink-182 but at this point, the drum kit is held together by tape,…

In California, Democrats hold every statewide elected office and a supermajority in both chambers of the state legislature. More than half the Democrats in the legislature take contributions from Big Oil and Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration has issued permits for more than 10,000 new wells since he took office.

Yes, but those among us baying loudest for the blood of TikTok are also the first to go on the offensive when the government of China does something sketchy, and the vast majority of their supporters are too fucking stupid to see the hypocrisy, or else they just think authoritarianism is fine when their team does it.

Americans: “DID YOU KNOW CHINA BANNED ACCESS TO TWITTER? HOW DYSTOPIAN!”

Also Americans: *frothing at the mouth to ban TikTok*

Perhaps worse than the denialists are the otherwise well intentioned moderates and liberals who fully profess to believe in the science, but refuse to advocate for more extreme solutions because they really genuinely believe that when Gavin Newsom or Joe Biden or Nancy Pelosi or whoever else get in front of a camera…

I’m not cheering for Disney’s success, I’m just celebrating Ron’s failures.

It could just be a camera issue but it looks in the twitter video above like the blade flexes significantly with even minor movements. The actors carrying them will be restricted to a very specific set of movements, at a very specific distance from guests, in very specific lighting conditions.

Ellie in the show did not just grow up witnessing and hearing about what FEDRA gets up to - the FEDRA school she was growing up in was not teaching literature and math. It was teaching them how to hunt and kill Fireflies. She exists in a world where violence between strangers is the rule, not the exception, and where…

They’re still trying to figure out how to legislate the last couple decades worth of technological advancement, and since few of them can be assed to actually learn anything about what they vote on, they defer to the lobbyists and committee consultants (former or future lobbyists) to simply tell them whatever they’re…

I’m playing an activity or two every day after work and enjoying some of the post-campaign missions but from a story perspective, I think I just get more lost with every new line of dialog. Suddenly the Veil and the Black Heart are twins? Nevermind that we still don’t have a fucking clue what the Veil is, or what the…

I think the weirdly hostile reaction of classical music fans to this article is probably indicative of why they need a separate app.

If the barriers to producing music 300 years ago were as low as they are today, you would have just as many forgettable flash-in-the-pan composers as there are pop artists. I think it seems pretty foolish to declare contemporary music as a whole disposable for not being 300 years old when it’s in comparitive infancy.…
