Good Lord, the ending to Pantheon is messing with my head from several angles at once. Feels like the first time I watched Evangelion (complimentary).

As someone who hated group projects, I super get this. But also, it turns out the reason I hated them was because the group either wouldn't or couldn't do the work.
I won't say that doesn't happen in gamedev, but it happens way less. It is a JOY to work w/ people who have both passion and skill.

Generally speaking if you hated group projects in school perhaps game dev is not for you.

This whole thread is great but I especially love the final line.
White nationalists like Miller or Vance clearly think most white Americans are white nationalists at heart. That we we'll wake up one day and realize multiculturalism is taking something away from us.
They are wildly mistaken.
Minnesota's open door IS my cherished culture, and I'll fight for it.

The second-most thing that pisses me off about this? I'm *still* not allowed to write a villain like this because it's just too stupid.
US voters allowed representatives to pour nearly $1 trillion dollars a year into the military—almost more than every other nation on Earth combined—for half a century and then handed it all over to the worst child.
So now, everyone has to treat him like an adult even though he talks like this:

![NEW: @potus letter to @jonasgahrstore links @NobelPrize to Greenland, reiterates threats, and is forwarded by the NSC staff to multiple European ambassadors in Washington. I obtained the text from multiple officials:
Dear Ambassador:
President Trump has asked that the following message, shared with Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, be forwarded to your [named head of government/state]
“Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hbpefio3f5csc44msmbgioxz/bafkreie7itpptx3xbxhpsnlaqmwk752h7pcrion5ija2apksljtax2adx4@jpeg)

Democrats return to power. They say to our former allies, "Sorry about the interruption. We're back now. Everything can go back to normal."
Allies: What if it happens again?
Ds: Oh, uh... the American ppl won't let that happen.
Allies: But how will *you* prevent it?
Ds: ...
Allies: Right. Bye!

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

I’ve taken to blocking people who use AI-generated images and videos in replies.
I want to deprive everything AI of air. No attention. No response. Silence. Let them realize that AI, the tool of fascists, is not accepted by siloing its users off.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.
