Good thread. Dividing classes by trying to sell them racism is one of the oldest tactics. And it ignores the systemic oppression of racial groups conveniently. You cannot have class solidarity without racial solidarity.

We learned nothing from the coal miner wars.

Black licorice.
It’s on theme with its colors, has a unique flavor that stands out in an endless sea of artificial sugar and chocolate, few people enjoy it so you get more of it for yourself, and it’s good for blood pressure.

Go ahead and cancel me but I’m right. It’s black licorice you cowards.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

just saw the phrase "the real estate community." absolutely. we should be worrying about how political policy impacts the demon community. how does this affect ghoul- and goblin-americans

This is obviously laughable and full of exactly what you’d expect an AI game to have — gibberish text, nonsensical geometry, etc — but to me the funniest thing is that looking at the UI/setup this is just Dragon’s Lair. This is an FMV game. I could play Mad Dog McCree in the arcade 35 years ago

You can get a steam deck, a dock, a controller, and 50+ games for this price.

My partner has tiny little hands and has played hers for literally hours at a time with no issues. The ergonomics and balance is unbelievable until you hold it.

Legitimately think most these people have no idea the average pc gamer pays about $4-$7 for a game thanks to the various stores, bundles, and sales. An $80 game is just a staggeringly high, confusingly high, price when that gets me multiple games I’d also love.

It’s deflection at least in part. They need others to validate their poor impulse control and how enslaved by consumerism hype cycles they are, so anyone counter to that is a painful brush with self reflection.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the PS5 and now the Switch 2 have specifically garnered a defence force going "what are you, poor?" when people complain about the value

Wolves of Glendale are slept on and waiting to blow up. If these lads make a second album I suspect they’ll hit a bigger tier.

Musically talented, intricate musical composition, AND hilarious.

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ...

You can map your own Keybinds and browse community ones directly from the Steam menu while in game. I’d say I change 70-80% of mine from default.

Steam Deck can handle all of that, though the Thor is really cool and I kinda want one too 😅

BIG* picture mode. Thank you iOS keyboard, very cool.

Steam but picture mode has full controller support. I think this is a good solution over trying to change the entire desktop experience to serve both.

when i saw the DMV had issued me this random number plate i drove right back to the DMV and said "hey i'm so sorry but i need you to swap this for a different number" because - and this is just me - it was important to me that no one around me assume i might be nazi, even a little, even for a second

Pisces, inspired by Gustav Klimt's Danae :)

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

The erasure of third places and the isolating nature of car centric design in the US is WHY we are susceptible to disinfo and propaganda. Walkable, livable cities are inoculation against hate and ignorance.

A baptism is silly, but Episcopalians do perform the blessing of saint francis which is adorable and fun. There’s pictures online of lizards getting blessed, pigs, etc.

I’d say show up! Rituals and pageantry can be rewarding in its own right and the community aspect is great too. You wouldn’t be treated like an outsider imho
