The right would have swept both of those elections without trump (ironically) making them unpalatable by association. the canadian liberal party was headed for a landslide loss before all the 51st state stuff. “American voters are uniquely stupid/bad” is absolutely not the lesson to take from this.

It’s easy to forget autism is different for every person. for me it just means I avoid eye contact like the plague and really like Star Wars, but there are other autistic people out there who are unable to perform basic tasks without assistance. low-functioning autism IS a disability.

Why is the game called BLU prince when RED team has control of the point??

I’ve never had the “sorry we missed you” thing happen to me. Maybe because porch pirates aren’t really an issue out here in rural NH?

I want to sit down the people who play up 4chan as some kind of horrifying boogeyman and make them read a +30,000 word /diy/ thread of people mocking each other’s carpentry.

But I need this in order to realize my dream of becoming the “guy from a warrior culture that follows his people’s code of honor” It’s one of my favorite sci-fi tropes.

You’ve never killed someone with an axe over Mac n cheese. Stolen valor.

I’m performing a ritual to resurrect Valéry Giscard d'Estaing as we speak.

I’ve been told by multiple people in different creative fields the feelings of inadequacy don’t go away with success, but I still find it hard to wrap my head around.

This is unrelated but the minute I looked over and saw the replay notification on my phone, pentiment bugged out. Also Gowesty is cool, do you have a VW?

BOOK OF ELI has been on my list for a while, thanks for reminding me to get around to it.

The easy times weak men thing is just 4th turning translated into hustle-culture lingo. Strauss and Howe definitely jumped the gun making a lot of big proclamations in their book, but I think “periods of hardship tend to self select for people with their shit together” generally tracks.

This is great. Divinity 2 turn-pilled me and I’m not sure I can go back.

I mean, those are all neat icing o the cake features, but is the core gameplay loop a significant innovation for the last game, or is it just more of the same open world “go take out this outpost” slop Ubisoft has been feeding us for the past +10 years?

If you ever go back to IGF with Caves of Qud 2 or something you should just drop people in a room with like a dozen Chrome Pyramids.

Was there a final count on how many people managed to complete the tutorial? when I spoke to Nick on Wednesday he said not everyone was making it.

I actually hadn't heard of this book before your GDC talk (thanks for the pin by the way). But now I feel like I have to go read it. Will try to find the sickest cover I can.
