Fight Milk! By bodyguards–for bodyguards. Fight like a crow.

Yeah, if people thought getting arrested for holding up signs in support of Palestine was crazy, wait until they start rounding people up for mild dissent on Twitter or whatever.

Some people were just made to weave in a circle with others or tend to a communal garden or wander the forest and hunt instead of soul grindingly miserable modern labor. 🙃

Moments before a thought coalesced into violence.

Exploitability sounds pretty terrible as a possibility, but I will say that the devs seem aware of it and the possibility of exploitation doesn’t necessarily sink a game like this. Eve often was such an amazing experience early on precisely because the game had so many openly exploitable systems.

They mention they’re looking to attract the caregiver archetype, which I assume means they’re trying not to bring the purely competitive Eve player, so maybe a healthy starting mix will help with the exploitative feeling early on?

I was actually looking into that. I might do that if there’s a bit more beefy Steam deck coming over the next year or so. Or maybe I’ll grab one of those Lenovo handhelds and throw SteamOS on it. I really wanna try some of these Switch 2 titles, though, so I think I’m gonna have to do my research and learn all the old pirate places again so I can do the ROM thing when the Switch 2 emulation gets figured out.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t be able to be taken to court, more that the argument “making a political decision” literally applies to any action a politician takes. Even if that’s not likely to succeed, if that’s the bar to clear, any sufficiently large company could just repeatedly sue an official with adversarial views, to hobble any decisions they make couldn’t they? This is purely ignorance of how the UK legal system works on my part, so I apologize if this is like super basic info.

That’s a good clarification on the UK office of Palantir, though, I fully didn’t realize that would be considered a local entity, given where they’re headquartered, but it makes way more sense in that case.

I’m a bit confused here. Isn’t the office of the mayor a political seat? Are they not allowed to make subjective decisions in the course of their duties? How is this grounding for a lawsuit at all?

I know in the US it’s a pretty low bar for a lawsuit, but I was under the impression that the UK required some genuine reasoning for going to court.

It just seems insane that an American spy company can sue another country for saying “hey, maybe it’s not a good idea to have an American spy company running our police force”.

I’d have to really think about it, to be honest. I’m sure buying used sidesteps a lot of the ethics there, but I also have been feeling less console-y lately.

I may just wait a bit and see if other handhelds figure out a solution. Yarr and all that or whatever.

I know nothing about Thomas Massie other than he calls his dick the Pinecone and he likes making the TSA feel him up, but it’s always been crazy to me that there seems to be so many credible contradictions to the US and Israel’s stance on the USS Liberty incident and seemingly everyone in power just kinda shrugs.

Ugh. I will never buy another Nintendo thing if I can avoid it, but I’d be lying if I said this game didn’t really test my willpower.

Sorry, 2-7 times a day??? Oh no

God, I can’t agree more. These last few shows have had suuuuuch a good selection of games.

I wonder what the officially recognized denomination of Christian will be when they keep cutting.

Literally among the most damaging things you can do to yourself with AI. Edit: if they aren’t being sardonic.

Are her destructive capabilities growing as well?

They did their Royale edition about five years ago that kinda breathed new life into Persona 5 since it also released on a bunch of new systems. I know that’s how I got to experience the game, once it came to PC.

There was a ton of conjecture either way about it at the time. I’d go and look at the wiki about it because it’s genuinely a bit of a weird situation.

In a world with AI grindsets, influencer slopfests, and governmental grifting, we need more respectable professions like this.
