I feel like the only requirement is owning or wanting to own a pair of striped thigh-highs!

I think it is a little interesting that the U.S. isn’t even bothering with pretense anymore. Everyone with a functioning brain knows Iraq was about oil, but back then the U.S. made up all sortsa shit about terrorism and WMDs to give themselves pretext for the war.

What’s kinda weird is that the U.S. is still offering that pretext, and saying shit like Fentanyl is a WMD so they can use the exact same rhetoric, but then they’re also openly saying they just wanna rob Venezuela. They can’t pick a lane.

People will post this as if tribal conflicts over land and resources just didn’t exist during that time period.

The truth is that people have always been shitty.

Yup, and every time I have to deal with Windows bullshit at work, I get a little bit happier that I don’t have to deal with it when I go home.

My cats looove hitting my power button. It got so bad that I started setting a box on top of my computer just to block the power button, but they frequently still try to push the box away so they can turn off the computer.

needs to be showered in yummy treats stat!

… and also probably just showered

Everyone in my office hates it, including my director who occasionally ends up going on a rant because Microsoft and Adobe often end up pushing their AI to us when we don’t want it.

Sometimes I’m very thankful I work for a nonprofit. They’re still p shitty to us employees, but our focus is first and foremost on doing the job right, something AI has no chance at.

that last shot makes it seem like it’s still basically regions on a map, with the difference being purely visual. I’m more surprised that it’s going to be a heavy ranged focus, considering how many issues WH3 has had with ranged combat

holy shit those last few seconds of actual gameplay. game looks a lot like the Dawn of War series, which is fitting. I wasn’t really sure 40k could fit the Total War mould, but seems like CA is willing to break the mould in pursuit of more money.

p sure that’s the gamble Ukraine is taking here. their assumption is that Russia won’t, but they don’t want to seem like they’re the ones holding up an end to the war.

I dunno if it really counts, because these days I play Diablo 2 Resurrected instead of the real OG, but god I still love Diablo 2. I was playing a Druid Maul build a little bit just last weekend in anticipation of Path of Exile 2 adding animal transformations. It’s just one of those classic Blizzard titles I go back to at least once every year, alongside Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. They’re like the triumvirate of my childhood nostalgia.

Wish the company wasn’t so awful.

I’m so torn up by the sequel. It was pretty mid overall, but the final bossfight was so incredibly infuriating that it ruined my overall impression of the game, so much so that I’d rather the sequel never existed at all.

It is, but it’s a little weird when compared to the post because it’s still getting updates.

That’s why I play World of Warcraft Classic, which is actually the game from 20 years ago (technically 18 since I’ll be playing Burning Crusade Classic soon.)

okay but how much of Ashley is just Andrew enabling her/her terrible parents like c’mon I could try

yeah, probably

Correct.

The new Crunchyroll subs are not good. I think my favorite example of terrible translations so far was the latest season of Dr. Stone changing the main character’s catchphrase “this is exhilarating” to “this is tempting.”

The multi-million dollar corporation just doesn’t care.

“Eeyup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here. Well, it’s a long story, but it all started when my ancestors decided to leave the ocean”

I mean, I’m still just one person, so uhhhh guess I’m taking out a lot of people before they get security detail.

At the current rate of content, I’d bet they’ll hit 1.0 maybe end of 2027-early 2028, and it still probably won’t be worth playing over PoE1 for another few patches after current game director Jonathan’s rumored departure.

very Orzhov coded, did you think about making a religion out of it?
