It's been a decade since I've started paying attention and the first thing I see in conversations about gaming articles is "Can't spell ignorant without IGN."

Every leftist I follow has been like "amazing turnout, now we just need to remember to keep pushing! :)" and every liberal that's crossed my timeline has gone "LOOK AT HOW AMAZING WE ARE, TAKE THAT YOU STUPID COMMIE!"

Tron Legacy, pretty much any Star Wars movie, Avatar maybe (those put me to sleep), Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Wererabbit perhaps, The Princess Bride...

It's been driving me up the wall seeing this talking point going around and around for months as if it wasn't fabricated from whole cloth.

I downloaded one without even checking and immediately had my ears flashbanged with an awful voiceover describing the game setting.

That and I also get the distinct feeling they're *broke* broke. Might just be wishful thinking.

I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

It would be really great if all those milsim RTS games I'm interested in would stop using AI slop.

That already happened to me at college 6 years ago. Hated that class.

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

Even better is from a few anecdotes I've seen Battlefield 4 is pretty well regarded in China for letting you play as the PLA.

ngalwrite.bsky.social @ngalwrite.bsky.social · 9d

Downloaded Battlefield 6, hit the launch button, couldn't launch because I didn't have secure boot on, looked in the bios, realized I didn't know what the hell I was doing, refunded the game.

It's so funny that Republicans consistently lay out exactly what the Democrats should do/campaign on doing for the most easily guaranteed wave of victories in history and then the Democrats dutifully refuse to ever even consider it.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 10d

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

Honestly when I first watched it I found the effects to be kind of garbage. Just dated in a way that wasn't charming unlike some other movies of the time. Big fan of Legacy's aesthetic though.

Democratic Party turboloyalists are often some of the most toxic people I've ever encountered. Whereas the Right are generally honest about all the vile things they think and believe, this group of centrists adds the additional insult of pretending to have some sort of morality and knowledge. Vile.

Why do I have to learn about some hippies' shitty little boat on the second anniversary of the most deadly act of antisemitic violence since the Holocaust? I will never forgive these idiots for this.

Malcolm P. Johnson @admiralmpj.bsky.social · 13d

You don't trust the Israeli Foreign Ministry. I don't trust a bunch of Swedish Hippies on a racing boat.

I'm going to go with the Israeli Foreign Ministry:

There's a great and all too missable dialogue where Torque goes "hey I'm an earthling, I was born here!" And the big bad group behind everything being made up of former XCOM soldiers is fucking amazing as an idea. Shame that the story is ultimately rather shallow.

Chimera Squad was fun for what it was. Hate what they did to the muton faces though.

I've seen a few (not particularly huge) lib accounts openly hoping that more leftists get banned.

A tendency I've noticed is that the more I love something the more I end up criticizing it.
