im really shocked that Steam just works on this thing and is boasted about in advertising and Valve just let that fly, they could have cornered the market on PC handhelds and just chose not to. I guess trying to stop people from backdooring it would be fruitless

best bit in dragonquest 1 is that a major main quest is to rescue the princess from a dragon. when you bring her back to town safely, your reward is 50 gold. that's what you're out there risking your life for! a pittance from a greedy asshole! better not change in the remake!

like 100 million people in america believe that you are only racist if you say the nword with a hard r outloud directed at a black person in a racist angry way and everything else, any other action or belief, including cops murdering black civilians unprovoked, falls short of racism

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

my company training on AI is "hey AI is a piece of shit that always gets things wrong, and also putting sensitive data into it will get you fired." but they're throwing out a hundred employees for it

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."

the most jarring thing about your 30s is thinking back 10-15 years ago and you weren't a kid or a teenager youre still an adult with a job

the scale of the caves is crazy and really hard to capture. This cave was about 10ft tall and it seems like I'm really close but I'm like 80 feet away lol. deathly icy wind blowing out of it, terrifying

Big Four Ice Caves: Here is the best shot I could get that day of an actual ice cave. Even standing this far away is dangerous, and I could feel a biting frigid air billowing out of the cave. There's a reason they carved a stark warning in stone at the entrance to the area: Don't be dumb! #PNW #WA

Formed cave in the ice. The cave is enormous-about 9 feet tall, it's hard to capture the size of it.

Text carved on stone: "People have died beyond here. The environment is forever changing, your awareness and decisions can be the difference between life and death. This area not patrolled on a regular basis."

very clear this site has an arbitrary algorithm and shadowbans now when the whole point was not doing that so thats lovely

Felt spooky enough to post these 🦇

Big Four Ice Caves, Granite Falls, WA. Came here on a very foggy day that shrouded the mountains and caves, but there was a gloomy air that I had to capture. #PNW #WA #IceCaves #Photography #Naturephotography #Fall #Fog #Spooky

Blooming flowers and green grass in the foreground with a shrub on the right, the fog is so thick you can only see about 30 feet out.

Blooming pink flowers in foreground with the shrouded silhouette of a mountain in the distance, thick fog in the air.

Another picture of flowers where the fog seemingly cuts off the landscape just past them.

A large stone surrounded by small moss covered rocks, fog covers the landscape. Silhouettes of pine trees can be seen on the left.

huge bonus: sakamoto days doesn't sexualize children, a rarity in shonen that make it to the big leagues. what im trying to say is Dandadan sucks ass

binged this to the latest chapter. its good lighthearted action with very good art and fights. the characters are one dimensional but it's a lot of fun once it gets going
