Looks like Bluesky's on the right path, comrades.

First time playing Ace Attorney, and I gotta say, Bellboy is Life. But also, in the AA world, it seems like "Guilty until proven innocent" permeates every single trial. Adds to the drama, but also make me tear my hair out. Okay, Edgeworth, and there's no concrete proof I'm guilty, so what now?

So have we just accepted that any statesperson entering the oval office might be subject to a spontaneous debate about right-wing lies, and instead of dwelling on that, we move on to rating who won that "debate"? There's too many "How did Ramaphosa do?" headlines.

Putting aside the plagiarism and awfully uninventive mechanics, what I'm most confused about with #Marathon is its artstyle. Like, I can see that it has one, but what exactly is it? "Placeholder Renderite"? Doesn't that genre live off cosmetics? What do those look like if that's the art pitch?

I don't know what's more fascinating: The irony that J. Hall's work has been warning of Putin's propaganda while swallowing it hook line and sinker, or the sheer spectacle of conservatives organically rediscovering concepts of "Jewish science" and "Cultural Bolshevism".

Thank you, Austria and JJ, for preventing the ultimate ethical disaster. I know it's not the artist's fault (haven't looked into her), but it's an utter shame for #ESC to ban rainbow flags and celebrate genocide, all under the banner of "United by Music". Also, the sauna song is kind of a banger.

#Eurovision is tonight, and here's a hilarious fun fact about it: Israel has started a massive offensive against civilian populations in Gaza with the explicit aim of conquering the entire territory and ethnically cleansing its population, and Eurovision has aggressively refused to give a shit.

Chancellor Merz calls the AfD a "political opponent", that he does not want to ban from elections. Opponents, however, act on equal terms. The AfD aims to uproot democracy itself and persecute political rivals. So all this tells me is that Merz agrees to those terms.

Currently playing Evil West and having a blast, but one thing that fascinates me is that it seems like the developers have never seen glasses before. Every character that wears them has them angled slightly upwards, with the upper rim practically touching eyebrows at all times. Wat happened there?

Ya know, I really don't want Merz as my Leitkultur-Chancellor, but I'm more afraid of the alternatives the conservatives will now be serving up. If he doesn't get the votes in parliament, what's next. Another round of cozying up to the fascists? New elections and a fascist win?

With Oblivion returning, so has the "Skyrim is dumbed down" crowd. And I genuinely don't get it. A perk system and dual wielding seem more complex to me. For these folks, only immersion-shattering minmax math counts as complexity, I assume?

www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amer... Dominant German news outlet pits all political analysts against one Heritage Foundation nutjob and goes: "Jury's still out on how Trump's doing, I guess, he sure is divisive!" Do your goddamn job, #Tagesschau. You don't need to act like fascism is worth considering.

I've heard it argued that the new #Oblivion is not a remake because "it's still the same game". That argument makes no sense. It doesn't matter what the game IS, only how it was MADE. If large chunks of the original code are still in use, it's a remaster, full stop.

Reading Kurlander's "Hitler's Monsters", this section on Hitler's valuing of intuition over logic, and how any admission of failure would upend trust in his esoteric policy-making, really explains why the GOP will never concede any error in their tariff disaster. It was simply "The Art Of the Deal".
