I'm very excited for everyone to check out this brand new trailer!
Man, I am so not a fan of the way Asian mobile game devs do tutorials. Darkening the whole screen, highlighting a button and forcing me to press buttons doesn't actually teach me the systems very well. If they just had a soft highlight, a tool tip, and gave me full control, I'd like it a lot more.

One of the reasons I LOVE games/movies/anime/comics with historical figures in them (even the really inaccurate ones like Sengoku Basara or Fate) is because it spurs me on to go look up the real history of the actual person. Spent some time learning about Zheng Chenggong tonight. Fascinating stuff!

Sorry Enfield, I am highly skeptical about our altruistic mission here on Talos II following the revelation that our energy source, that we planted on this planet, is giving people space cancer.

Finally getting into the meat of the factory gameplay in Endfield, and I get that they want to teach ppl who've never played a factory game how it works, but it does feel like a LITTLE too much tutorialization for me personally.

I would absolutely demolish a paneer makhni taco.
Checking in on Indian Taco Bell and uh, they're doing Butter Chicken Tacos now (and Paneer versions for Vegetarians)

Beast of Reincarnation is looking good. I didn't expect some JRPG style command gameplay mixed in, but it all looks very cool. Nice to see it's running better than in its original reveal.

Pretty often. I let my dog out on the deck, and he'll sit quietly for a bit, but then he'll start crying a little bit. That's because he wants me to come out and enjoy the view with him

This is the photo I will show my family members whenever they claim they didn't want this. Even if they didn't, this is what the campaign said it was going to do. The fact that they conjured a "rational" reason to vote for this regime doesn't omit the fact they willfully ignored what it was saying.
People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

Petting a dog is obviously something they like, but I always wonder if my dog likes that I kiss him all the time. Do dogs just think people are weird because we keep pressing our mouths against them? Do they tolerate it, because they love us?

They can’t do it because it points out that they themselves are doing nothing to help. Maybe three of them saying Abolish ICE. The rest are talking about retraining and body cams and QR codes.
Could a Democrat, any Democrat, release a statement actually thanking the people that have been out there doing the fucking work instead of this constant scolding tone for the love of God
Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

Yeah, I'm still early on, but I'm really digging Arknights Endfield. More that I usually enjoy gacha games, I will say.

Resetera should add an invisible like system, so I can like posts that I don't particularly want to reply to. I also don't think anyone should see the total likes, nor should the stats be compiled. I just want someone to know I thought their post was dope.

I think it kinda sucks that sometimes I feel like I shouldn't say out loud that I'm excited about something, because the zeitgeist hates it. That's not a complaint about society, but a complaint about myself, and my inability to let go of external validation.
Oh, to not give a shit.

This whole crusade against windmills has been going on for so long, I wonder if he even remembers that it started because there were windmills near his golf course in Scotland, and that somehow pissed him off.
Trump: "There are windmills all over Europe. There are windmills all over the place. And they are losers. One thing I've noticed is that the more windmills a country has, the more money that country loses, and the worse that country is doing. I haven't been able to find any wind farms in China."
