If you crossed Sonic and Eggman, which one would get pregante?

The Sims 2 Castaway is basically the proto survival crafting game. It’s kinda cool to see the classic Sim stats get used in such a different way. I sometimes wish EA would return to those days of selling spinoff Sim games like Castaway and the Urbz, rather than just dumping every single new idea they get into one game as DLC.

All science fiction adjacent shows are legally required to do at least one Inner Space during their run, that episode was just business.

I’m sorry, your take is that we need to shame people for …standing against a genocide? for deciding that supporting the deaths of an entire culture of people is the line too far for their conscience to support? You think that deserves to be attacked and shamed?

The U.S. has no obligation to participate in genocide, and can start withholding aid at any time. If Democrat leadership has decided it’s more important to exterminate Palestine than prevent a Trump election, that’s going to remain on the Democrats.

You know you can just put whatever you want in your salsa right, no cop is gonna stop you. I have a very nice mango salsa the other night, it was only one step removed from a fancy fruit salad.

There certainly was a “golden age of gaming,” where the cost for a studio to exist and make a game was pretty low and they were more willing to experiment. The thing people forget is that there was so, so, so much trash and shovelware made during that era as well. We remember the incredible game that innovated and drove the medium forward, and we forget the movie tie-ins and genre knockoffs.

These days, AAA has forgotten how to innovate, and nearly all of it is being driven by indie titles. This is because, once again, the cost to develop is now so low that literally anyone can do it. The amount of trash and shovelware we’re getting is almost ludicrous though, so it’s a lot harder to find the great titles that are overlooked, but extremely high quality has a remarkable way of cutting through the noise.

These intentions are all well and good until an employer requires you to take a Myers Briggs test and you’re turned down from a job because of it. I don’t have any issue with someone reading their horoscope to try and understand their own feelings and emotions, I have a pretty massive issue with anyone trying to use pseudoscience nonsense to make serious decisions.

I have some really, really bad news if the only thing holding your worldview together is the idea that people make their way in this world on their own merit.

Currently, advocating violence against Nazis is considered not very cool. I’m indicating that maybe it should be. I’m trying to be respectful to the Beehaw hosts and not explain what I would like to do to people like Balaji, which would certainly violate some content policies.

America has a serious Nazi problem, and unless they’re willing to get real cool about the only ways to deal with Nazis, rich fucks like these are going to keep infecting institutions and making them more and more extreme. This dude is laying out a plan to ethnically cleanse San Francisco and not only is he allowed to walk its streets a free man, but he is allowed to organize other lunatics to follow him.

Dunno if it was like her specifically, but yeah she was in charge during that fiasco as well, and at the very least approved of it.

She had more of a hand in Magic the Gathering’s recent push to make as most product as possible, as well as the incredibly awful Magic 25th anniversary celebration idea of $1000 packs of proxies.

She sucked, and whoever comes next will be worse.

Is anyone seriously surprised? What Unity did was tantamount to business suicide, but these things move slowly. Expect to see more and more out of Godot in the coming months, as projects that were nascent when Unity tried their greedy power play will finally start to get teased.

Perhaps they should have tried googling it beforehand.

Look I love Dark Souls; it is an incredibly flawed game, and Demon’s Souls is even moreso. Dark Souls was so far ahead of it’s time that it still needed time to bake in the oven. Then with how claustrophobic DS2 and DS3’s worlds were by comparison, I don’t think FromSoft really surpassed Skyrim until Elden Ring.

Both games are some of the greatest of all time though, so a lot of it will just come to preference. I think a lotta Dark Souls players have been spoiled by the remaster though, the original release struggled hard under the weight of Miyazaki’s ambition.

People in the future will realize that Skyrim was made in a perfect sweet spot at Bethesda. It was made recently enough that the controls make sense and it feels good to play, but Skyrim was still so, so ahead of it’s time when it came to an open world RPG. Back then, Bethesda’s writers really had a knack for making incredibly interesting settings, and just seeing an entire digital world so wonderfully realized was considered ground-breaking.

A decade later, and the same model has become stale. The gameplay is still there, but the soul is not. Idk if most of those old writers have just left Bethesda or retired after so many years in the industry, but the magic has left the studio. I’m not even really looking forward to ES6 as much as I am the upcoming Avowed from Obsidian, because their games still have plenty of soul.

The Tennessee House is basically as MAGA as they come, so this isn’t surprising when you remember that they tried to expel two Black lawmakers from the house earlier last year on similar racist grounds. I’d hope that we could see some change this year, but I lived in Tennessee. I know those districts. A better bet is for anyone still sane to get out.

Can’t handle a lot of them, yes. In very typical Apple fashion, they’re overpricing tech that lacks basic features of its competitors.

Gilbert Gottfried! Is this the last film he’ll be seen in?

Maybe someone here could refresh my memory. I could have sworn that during 2020 campaigning, Biden indicated he would be a one term president that would willingly let a younger Democrat run for 2024. I haven’t seen anyone really rake him through the coals over that, so maybe it was some misinformation that was spread to make him more attractive, but I feel like it was a really key reason I felt comfortable supporting him.
