Sunset Overdrive. I genuinely believe that the PC version was the best Insomniac release that year and the other one was Spiderman on PS4.
The movement and combat are just so slick and tightly integrated, playing Spiderman after felt like a step back.

"straight (or self proclaimed)"
The "homophobes are secretly gay" trope is itself homophobic and especially homophobic in the context of "I think they're also pedophiles." The kneejerk reaction when you see an absolute wretch of a person to go "I bet they're gay" isn't you know, helpful.

They don't get to spend decades supporting politicians who want people to starve and die avoidable deaths and then go "actually this guy isn't ours."
Everything he has done has been wholeheartedly supported by the Pro-Life crowd in the past. Their problem is he isn't pretending to be a good person.

It's been frustrating watching them burn the goodwill from not doing Live Services.
I know it was always more of a fluke of scheduling: they just didn't have available studios to chase the trend at its peak. They could have just rolled with it. The trend already peaked by the time they went all in.

In 2020 cops were using bikes as weapons to beat middle aged moms over the head for the violent, aggressive action of kneeling in the street with their arms up chanting "hands up, don't shoot."
The "optics" didn't change and people still bought into the "rioting and violence" trope.

Part of what made that work in Korea is that the cops and military refused the orders to brutalize innocent civilians.
The US has already passed that point. So suggesting strategies that could only work in that environment is pointless.

Look, can you blame Tapper? Leftists called his kid racist after pointing out that his kid wants a career most commonly sought by racists and was raised by a racist father. He simply had no choice but to side with the racists in the belief that some speech must be banned (calling him racist.)

A bus stop a couple blocks from me had a perfectly good bench and shelter replaced. The new one has the same footprint but a wide V shape so it now seats 1 person, down from 3-5 with significantly basically no standing space either.
But hey the new shape can fit two ad posters now!

The outside agitators as it turns out are cops coming from the suburbs.

Not made by Blumhouse. Published by Blumhouse, and only sort of after the fact. The game was initially self published. It launched to little fanfare and a bunch of issues. It was pulled from sale to retool, got a publisher and relaunched in a better state.

Even with 30+ years and hindsight, we've barely addressed the causes of the 1992 riots. LAPD and LASD are still just white supremacist gangs. They still have too much money and power. They still get away with murder.
They've had 30 years of "please don't" and it has got us nowhere.

There is a reason why the manuals for these "less lethal" weapons all very clearly state to never use in close quarters and never aim at someones head. You could easily kill someone.
It is, of course, the same reason why cops routinely use them in close quarters and aim for the head.

I love how Israel's denial is not "of course we're not stealing funds from humanitarian aid" it's "of course we don't have funds for humanitarian aid."

I hate how much of modern life feels like talking to a dog. Massive systems responding not to the words said but merely the tone.
You can quote these guys, but he said all those things like they were good and you said them like they were bad and somehow that makes your post the real problem.

Canadian centrists will be there in a decade or so. Aus and UK centrists are already further right than the US Dems. Canada is not the average in the English speaking world

You don't need to specify the country. Centrists are the same everywhere. The Liberal party takes steps to the right with ease, but steps to the left require them being dragged kicking and screaming.

A significant portion of disabled people do not or can not drive. We would benefit the most from better public transit and housing near transit hubs. This is another instance of abled bigots invoking us while having never spoken to us, to justify their selfish impulses that hurt us the most.

I'm reminded of abled people pretending to have anxiety disorders or pulmonary problems to claim they shouldn't have to wear masks in 2020. Meanwhile I, someone with an anxiety disorder *and* pulmonary problems, received no exemption, and continue to mask just fine because covid would kill me.

Thinking about how Tenet just kinda flew under the radar. A conservative outlet throwing absurd amounts of money to platform mid tier bigots is just an every day occurrence in that field. The only difference was the propagandists were paid by Russian ghouls and not American ghouls.

Not fall in line, they're already racists who are happily complying.
In a similar way that Conservative claims of "bias" against them have given news outlets already biased in their favour an excuse to go further right, this gives cops an excuse to be even more racist.

Looking forward to WaPo and NYT reporting it ash "Trump once again questioning the validity of Joe Biden's win in 2020."

Similar vibe to "the iron cross isn't a Nazi symbol, Germany still awards it to soldiers!" Yeah I don't think most of the Americans using it have distinguished service in the German military.

There is a whole video for it from the builder. Mobo is a mini-ITX board inside the "barrel" with a PCI riser to the GPU on top. So weirdly it is supposed to be viewed from the back, as all your wires come out the front. I guess that is accurate to an FPS.

Weird how the "every life is sacred" crowd are willing to condemn millions to death so a billionaire can go golfing every ~5 days on the taxpayers dime.

At his current rate the Trump Admin will spend more than this on Donald's golf trips. Currently on track to hit $100,000,000 in 2025.

Really feels like the bigoted execs trying to make it fail. They want to be able to back to shareholders and say "We gave them what they wanted and sales haven't improved. Clearly we're not the problem and we were right to try to abandon them."

"Vote Blue No Matter Who" sure seems to end up with a whole lot of blue bigots in important seats. Almost feels like it does in fact matter who.

Israel's defenders also love to ignore that Israel was kidnapping Palestinians en masse and attacking civilian gatherings prior to October 7th. October 7th was a response to Israeli aggression.
If these acts justify any response then by the reasoning of Israel's defenders, October 7th was justified.

Really fun seeing Brits talk about the terrifying speed at which bigotry became normalized in the US and say "Britain is not America, or at least not yet" as if their supreme court didn't just eradicate the rights of a vulnerable minority this month, to the cheers of the political class and press.

Not just that he is saying it, he's been saying it for a while. You can't just say "that time Rufo said he would lie about something to hurt marginalized folk and then liberals treated it like legitimate concerns." That describes at least a half dozen different events, you'd need to be specific.

Also good to remember that statistic came from a survey of cops themselves. 40% of cops will admit to domestic abuse if you tell them it's an anonymous survey. Cops know investigators can lie to get confessions because that is a thing cops do, so there's likely a lot more that didn't confess.

Do not forget that during the Biden administration the White House and Nancy Pelosi held events to celebrate the Reagans during Pride. Democrats don't get to call themselves "allies" when they can't stop themselves celebrating people who wanted to eradicate us, let alone wait until after Pride.

I think the problem is they didn't do it to appease the Trump admin. They did it because the executives suck and had been looking for an excuse to do shitty things. Now they've got what they wanted they don't want to roll it back simply because it's "hurting the company" and "bad for business."

You'll also need to primary every single democrat that voted in favor of the regimes agenda.
Flipping the house won't change anything if Democrats still have 20~ people voting along side the fascists.

The one thing trans people and Rowling agree on is that giving her money is direct support of her transphobia.
If you've got a problem with people taking that stance maybe you shouldn't give money to Rowling, a person who takes that stance.

This is one of the big reasons I've kinda grown to hate Hanlon's Razor. With overuse it's kinda become "always assume ignorance, never assume malice" but this level of wilful ignorance can't exist without malice. Ignorance alone isn't enough.

It is more than that, they've also just accepted the ADL definition of antisemitism which is "antisemitism is when you consider Palestinians to be human beings."
Straight up Nazi shit? ADL gives it a pass. Hell, they'll endorse it even, as Greenblatt did with Musk. Just don't wear a keffiyeh.

Just goes to show how devastating the cuts have been to the US government. It was rare for past administrations to put their weight behind a terrible repressive leader and lose.
Maybe the guy who picked targets got fired or the CIA is just sad that ICE took the job of disappearing Americans.

He still has a "good friend" who worked as a lawyer for an anti-LGBTQ+ hate group and recently penned a transphobic op-ed for the NYT.
So he is also fine with transphobes when they're very clearly not "just asking questions" and have a vested interest in our eradication.

Not to mention that minimum specs don't really mean anything.
I played Doom 2016 fine with a card slightly below the min spec. I'm having trouble playing Dark Ages with a card well above the min spec.
Minimum specs are not set to a unified, objective standard of performance.

My guy, it's still ongoing. Only thing that changed is the "C" went from capital to lower case.

You can find articles from when they were put up. Many of them had dedication speeches from KKK members and direct acknowledgement that it was little more than a racist totem built to make Black people feel unwelcome.
No ambiguity, zero subtly. Blatant racism that has been revised into "history."
