The likely explanation is that the playtesters are now used to Death Stranding mechanics since Death Stranding already exists. I remember there being a lot of people who thought Demons Souls and Dark Souls 1 were bad because they weren’t used to the mechanics, and now Elden Ring has sold over 30 million copies to almost universal acclaim.
Watched Murderbot diaries with my partner and I surprised how much I empathise with Murderbot seeing as I do event jobs for an art collective that couldn’t manage their way out of a wet paper bag. I kind of passively witness all the interpersonal drama, they keep trying to get me to be more in touch with my spirit or whatever and I have to make sure they don’t hurt themselves as they build rickety ass contraptions with loose wiring and shit. I am also terrible at eye contact.
Kind of surprised they didn’t do Javier, but I guess he was in RDR1, so he is exempt.
EU4 is in a pretty good place, all the DLC since Leviathan has been good, and Leviathan was patched into a pretty good state after a while.
SuperGreatFriend is a fairly high effort gaming channel on the much more chill end. Covers a lot of obscure games as well as mainstream ones. Probably best known for his excellent Deadly Premonition LP from almost 15 years ago now, has moved more into doing blind playthroughs. He has a small (rarely get over 10k views) but very dedicated fan base.
Favourite series of his are Deadly Premonition, Illbleed, Life and Times of Bully Demise and Laser Lords.
That is what the cancel button is for. So many posts lost, like tears in the rain.
Had to unclog a toilet. On account of woke.
Risqué thirst trap pics rather than homophobia. He decided to step down on his own after no real pressure, so probably just that he was embarrassed more than anything. Could be seen as blackmailing material I guess, but he wasn’t in the closet.
Swedish Security Advisor post seems cursed. The first one kept leaving classified documents behind, and the new one has decided to resign after less than 24 hours because a journalist found his Grindr profile.
It is a bullshit post that was started because the Moderates desperately want to be West Wing libs, so hopefully they will just stop trying now.
Gotta start with EU3 to catch you up on the storyline. EU1 and 2 were retconned in 3.
Bard of Life. The only thing I know about Homestuck is Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff. 
Saw this and thought it was nice that Prysner chose to center the Iraqi people who died first and went into the comments.
I’m assuming that the President lied and went to war against a brutal dictator because the American people were desperate for vengeance and he had to show that he was doing something.
Kinda pales compared to the current presidents lies, literally trying to change US history to become a dictator with the sole objective of gaining personal power and wealth.
How the fuck does this make it any better? Is killing OVER A MILLION PEOPLE suddenly good because they felt like they had to do something?
I just find the deference to chatbots a bit sad in that it will cause people to be less curious. Guess this is how people felt about moving from an abacus or slide rulers to calculators, but it gets used for such menial bullshit that can easily be looked up instead of asking the virtual eqvivalent of Dave at the pub.
Three holes (eyes and nose) is the thing I recall hearing.
Now I’m curious wtf is going on in the different tubes. Since they all start at like 3am for me I have no idea.
Also would be disconcerted if I started getting DMs tbh.
Was more of a hopeful estimate than anything. From what I’ve seen of American dog owners they seem to just have dogs run around in their backyards and call it at that.
Could roughly work out to the 25% of Americans that walk for more than ten minutes being the dog walkers of those households.
Yeah, the main reason it gets me riled up is that the domestic aristocracy of Scotland, which is from the same group of people that make up and have made up the vast majority of Scottish people for centuries, are treated as foreign. It is an easy way to wash your hands of any sins, just pretend that you’re part of the outgroup. It is a bit like Swedish people or Norwegians claiming they were opressed by identifying with the struggles that Sami people endure at their hand.
The same courtesy is rarely afforded the English who were also systematically cleared off land during the enclosures of the commons so it could be “better exploited” by land owners. England gets treated as a monolith despite there being many outgroups that were similarly persecuted by the state (Quakers, Romanichal, Irish Travellers, Lollards etc).
The vast majority of Underdark denizens are bastards and Shadowheart is from an ontologically evil cult. Neither are filled with average people.
