Hmm, do I pay for a service that has ads, or do I simply pirate-jammin? It is impossible to make this decision.

Also the political terror enacted by the KKK in the south post-reconstruction. This shit is as american as it gets.

It's soooooo good, and imo it just keeps getting better, though there's a bit of a tone shift around Book 3/4.

We'd never turn on them because they'd never side with us in the first place. They'd all join the fascists.

I spend about $100/wk, mostly on frozen prepared slop because I hate cooking, though I also get fresh fruit/veggies as well. The extent of my thriftiness is working from a baseline that one meal should be ~$4 and trying to avoid things that cost more than that. That leaves ~$16/wk for snacks, drinks, and whatever else, which is plenty for me.

There's a video where he interviews some higher up in the military about propaganda and the guy he's talking to explains that the video he's making is itself propaganda and the dipshit just soyfaces and goes "wow I never realized!" Classic engineering brain.

Hey, you show some respect to the 2023 GMC Child Pulverizer.

I'm one of the weird spherical elbow joints on one of the shadowed men.

 

If you click the "Request Invite" button on the storepage, you instantly get one.

Performance is dogshit for me, 30-ish FPS on all lowest settings (with DLSS off). Water doesn't even render.

The whole "disrupting packs with dung bombs" mechanic is also pretty lame imo; every couple minutes the monster leaves to go rejoin the pack and you have to do it again.

Undecided on the wound mechanic because I only did the first two hunts. Optimistically, this could be like the clutch claw but actually good.

 

The relationship between doing infinite damage and being able to see is dialectical.

 

So my old wireless Xbox 360 controller is kind of on its last legs, bad stick drift, thumbstick rubber starting to rub off, and I'm looking for a replacement. Would gladly just buy another 360 controller but they haven't made them in years.

Got an 8bitdo Ultimate earlier this year and it has not lasted. Out of the box, the thumbsticks started losing sensitivity in one or two directions after a few hours of play, but I could get around this by messing with the deadzones in the software. Not an ideal solution, since it lowered the resolution, but it worked.

But now it's got new and exciting problems that I can't work around. Sometimes the B button won't register at all. Sometimes the A button will press on its own. And my favorite, sometimes the entire controller just freezes and won't accept any input for seconds at a time.

I had a coworker recommend a GuliKit but the face buttons are backward and that's enough to put me off it.

Any advice?

Honestly doesn't seem like my thing but a neat enough concept that I thought I'd post it here.

Also somebody in the comments mentioned that the itch.io bundle for trans youth earlier this year had this game.

 

Was browsing the modlog and noticed this

 

It's good. Here's hoping Goodbye, Eri gets an adaptation some day.

Finally finished the whole group! From left to right: Inquisitor Coteaz, Interrogator, Sister of Battle, Scrollboi, Feral Worlder, Mystic, Servitor, Booksy the Book Skull, Joe Krabo, and "Daemonhost".

I'd painted up Coteaz years ago (and it's good I did because his new model sucks lol). Eventually they'll all be based in the same style as Coteaz but the texture paint I use is all dried up.

 

Everybody knows that the american civic religion places a lot of emphasis on our "democracy" as it exists, so we should set up something that will let people in the politics fandom get all of the excitement out of their system without actually getting in the way of important governing decisions.

The actual elections will be on entirely separate dates with minimal fanfare. The show elections will have the non-stop campaigning and press events everyone's used to, but nobody elected will have any political power. On MSM talkshows and the like, they'll only be allowed to talk about things happening on the fake side of things. Mentioning real politics will carry a penalty of having to sort rocks in a quarry (or similar task in regions lacking sufficient rocks) for 1 hour per time mentioned.

In terms of subjects, they can argue over whether we're abolishing the value form too quickly or too slowly, or if outdoor cats should be legal. They'll constantly go on about national unity and how we're too divided while agreeing about 99% of things.

 

Paint now has built-in AI image bullshit.

Death to Microsoft.

Interesting video, sadly the presenter is a frustrating liberal who refuses, whether out of sincere belief or optics concerns, to condemn NATO. Also uses fun phrases like "when Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7th".

Edit: also the "call to action" at the end is laughable liberal claptrap. There is no stopping the military from doing something so long as the games industry exists under capitalism, because the military has INFINITE MONEY to tempt people into working for them.
