In the context of human history, literal wars have started over less. Don’t underestimate the power of a fragile ego.

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,…

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,…

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…

The final mission on 2-man legendary was an absolute slog. By that point, using strand felt like a debuff.

I will say - the tormenters become trivial once you realize how terrible their pathfinding and hitboxes are. If one of them is attacking you with the ranged pizza slicer shit, just find cover. If it’s trying to…

There are a number of encounters throughout the campaign that are solved the same way - avoid the mechanics by posting up on a ledge or a corner and plink away. It felt a bit like a regression to Destiny 1. The spinning red wall encounter was Phogoth 2.0.

They might be, but if they have different guests in each video and they’re blowing up on TikTok, it shouldn’t take very long for a tiktok fan to put it to the test.

I think the best way to play the game is somewhere in between the two versions of Cyberpunk Luke describes, but the game doesn’t make that obvious at all, and frequently tries to convince you that you need to barrel straight through the main story because you’re going to die any second now.

I don’t think your average charging station has the hardware to mine, and their electricity usage is going to be monitored extremely closely. Bad actors pushing crypto miner malware don’t need to target janky hardware - they can just aim for PCs.

The worst part is that basically anyone who has played Halo Infinite could tell you how to still do it as a live service that isn’t an absolute drag because the Master Chief Collection is right there! If they’d had:

- Forge (or even a functioning content pipeline for anything other than microtransactions) at launch
- Kep…
