I'm just gonna be posting videos in comments now

If you were going to be macarooned on a dessert island and you could only bring one item what would you bring

The Pacers will probably not win, but I have to believe great things are possible

get up go water your plants and take a shower then go take a nap like you had a hard day

couldn't be me

They should bring back a primarch back and in 5 seconds he got eaten by a t rex as a trailer to exodite eldar.

Another Mega, another foot in the grave, yet I persist.

Gonna be too hot for my usual beanie soon. Really gotta figure out how to keep my hair out of my face without it in a way that doesn't look terrible 😔

Do I want to be manipulated?

I am a bad girl, as in I am bad at this, categorically speaking, and horrifically so

Mega mega mega THREAD

Kinda cooked how gen'AI' is effective at making short video (but falls apart the longer the video runs) while short-form vid is the predominant social media format

time to see if i can get nightreign cracked and working online

The fact that a shitty country cover of Jkwons Tipsy is one of the biggest songs of the last 2 years is so incredibly sad lol. Every time someone plays it at the bar I work at I wanna puke. The chords they added to it are straight out of a pharmaceutical commercial

There should be more comedy games, like joke first comedy games. The best example I can think of recently are Untitled Goose Game, Jazz Punk, Kingdom of Loathing, Stanley Parable even (contempibly) the south park rpg games or High On Life. I guess Yakuza or Saints Row kind of fit into that

There's plenty with funny moments or funny arcs or whatever (Baulders Gate 3 has plenty of funny lines and moments), but not a lot where the whole point is to laugh and not other game things - like power fantasy, mastery, playing a role, etc - and everything in it is there with the intent to make you laugh.

I would pay money to see an Ethan Klein vs Brace Belden debate.

I was uninstalling some software when I encountered the most baffling thing: as soon as you hit "Uninstall" it prompts you to find the setup executable...as in the original multi-gig offline installer which no reasonable person would keep around. It refused to proceed until I re-downloaded said installer, and then it STILL didn't work. Impressively terrible. Thankfully, I'll be wiping this machine in the near future and replacing this Windows 10 install with Linux, so I'm just going to leave it be.

Blackredguard is going as a delegate to the DSA convention, good for him, he is also a member of liberation causus the one that made dems like cuomo mad by calling the embassy shooter a political prisoner

I was reading Chip War by Chris Miller, and throughout the book he throws so much shade at China (a bit at the soviet union too). And then i get to the chapter where he talks about the more modern day when Xi Jinping became leader, and its so comical how he tries to portray China.

He talks about how the semicomductor companies are a under a tight leash by the CPC. I realize that that only sounds bad if you assume CPC = evil therefore bad.

He also spent the first half of the book talking about how chip companies needed heavy subsidies and intervention from the government. So put it together, his point is that CPC is bad because they are subsidizing their chip industry (which America/South Korea/Taiwan already do) while also maintaining control over it. A complete contradiction of free market principles! So which is it? Government intervention is required to build a strong chip industry? Or government shouldnt intervene in semiconductor companies except to give them blank checks? As he has shown in the American semiconductor industry, the latter has caused them to fall behind twice.

He also talks about when Taiwan was going through a crisis, Morris Chang ensured that the government would bail TSMC out. This is portrayed as a good thing though.

I'm feeling really good, I read something someone said somewhere about how they quit smoking and adapted it a little bit for me, and so far it's helping me cut down like nothing else has. I haven't gone to bed with a headache or chest ache in a week, and I can feel more energy. I'm doing more spontaneous exercise (typing this from a plank rn) and am becoming better at finding the time to do important stuff like gardening. Just planted two currants in big pots, one yellow flowering and one red.

ughujzlfkbglisaoubnytuifaeosh graveyard shift really fucks you up just gotta last a few more hours then I can go to bed during daytime

I feel bad for scrolling through my news feeds as if I'm waiting for news to happen
