  • RFK Jr looks more and more like Mr Smith when Neo does the pool dive straight into his chest and sits there waiting to die as his head starts bulging and deforming

    But in this case instead of neo, it's a worm

  • Libs be like "Im so sad the nazi got shot, pls give me my job back"

  • Writing it off as more outrage marketing and ignoring this forever, I've never given a shit about Kimmel before and I'll be damned if I start now.

  • Do you believe in unconditional love?

    Jump

  • Absolutely not. All love is conditional and it should be. There's always something you can do to make people who would otherwise love you hate you forever instead.

  • Still playing elite dangerous, sort of grinding for a corvette I guess. But I've been playing a little less to make time for No, I'm Not Human and Fellowship.

    First playthrough of no I'm not human was interesting, but it feels kinda grindy playing through again for more endings - I've only got bad endings so far. Trying not to spoil it for myself by watching streams though.

    Fellowship open beta has been interesting. I can see it being a great replacement for wow mythic+, something I've missed a lot since quitting wow because of bds labeling Microsoft as a boycott target. I think they'll need to flesh some stuff out a bit more, but I'm cautiously optimistic for early access next month I suppose.

    Speaking of wow, been considering finally picking up Turtle wow after they got sued by blizz. Tbh I'm not a fan of the classic era of wow and definitely wasn't a fan of classic wow becoming an official part of the game - its in the past, leave it there imo. But I'm still intrigued by the idea of expanding on the lore themselves on a private server no less.

    /r/TheDeprogram got banned from reddit. /r/SubredditDrama had a normal one. (many CWs inside)

  • As shown in Fort Bragg Cartel, spec ops (death squads) in Afghanistan/Iraq had kill quotas they could barely even keep up with throughout these wars and these were never publicly tracked. 50k is definitely a lie.

  • I am so cool I have started drinking hot sauce straight from the bottle.

  • Can I play XCOM 2 without playing the first game much?

  • Lmfao Brazilian soldiers in the game speak Spanish by default for some reason

  • [Poll] What are your favorite leftist books?

    Jump

  • I always mix up the title like that lol, yeah it's Madman's diary.

    Shanghai Foxtrot by Mu Shiying is another really interesting one, though the writing is more experimental. I'm a fan of May Fourth movement writers lol.

  • 'People are scared to death': Members of Congress fear for their safety after Charlie Kirk assassination

    Jump

  • Not scared enough to change policy tho.

  • [Poll] What are your favorite leftist books?

    Jump

  • Not a title, but a collection of Lu Xun's works/short stories (all fiction, my favorite is Diary of a Madman).

    E: just read the rules, deleting/adjusting what I said

  • Can I play XCOM 2 without playing the first game much?

    Jump

  • Yeah, a vanilla playthrough would be fine too lol. See my other comment about mods though.

  • Can I play XCOM 2 without playing the first game much?

    Jump

  • I'd also add that you shouldn't ignore mods if you wanna get the most out of the game. First playthrough, yeah go without mods and get a sense of the game. But I have like an embarrassing amount of time in this game and I think I did one or two playthroughs without mods, so a majority of my playtime is thanks to mods, especially long War of the chosen.

  • Can I play XCOM 2 without playing the first game much?

    Jump

  • Yeah, you can, personally I think xcom2 is the better game as well (well, in terms of polish and mod support).

    I've never played the dlc with the alien kings/queens/whatever. However, Shen's gift (I think?) is required for most of the important mods now (namely long war 2/lwotc) and war of the chosen is needed for the more "complete" long war mod. Even without mods, I'd say those 2 are worth it anyways, the chosen can be fun or at least an additional challenge.

  • Borderlands 4 question

    Jump

  • You can understand the game's story and appeal by playing any of the games for 5 to 10 minutes, skip the others in any order you like after that.

    True lore masters do something similar, but they also add the games to their steam library and then skip them for other games in order of release afterwards (for example, most gamers are deepening their lore knowledge by skipping this installment after downloading it and playing silksong instead).

  • (Hyper specific Elite Dangerous post): The CIU is fucking cringe

    Jump

  • Yeah it sucks. I get it if they're trying to avoid retribution from discord based on calls to violence or something, but they could just say that if that was the reason instead of whatever this shit is.

    Anyways, I added you, hope to see you on sometime.
