  • "First of all..."

  • Would you take the red pill or the blue pill?
  • Oh honey, that's how it starts.

  • UN members walk out en-masse in protest against Netanyahu address
  • Fuck the USA government, you mean. I only live here, and all I get to do is choose between the lesser of two evils every 4 years. What a nightmare.

  • What candy flavors are always cast but are never the star?

    Words are hard. I'm looking forward to Tuesday night.

  • Movie(s) with best soundtrack?
  • I know you said movies, but a soundtrack for a show I'm hooked on currently is Legion (FX/Marvel, on Hulu). The whole entire show has an amazing cast to begin with, but Jeff Russo (Fargo, Star Trek Discovery, more) and Noah Hawley put together one hell of a score. I highly recommend it and the show.

  • How do you eat kiwifruits?
  • So, like a peach, huh? I'm half tempted to try this now.

  • What music do you use for concentration?
  • Omg, another Soma fan! I've been listening for years! Groove Salad/Classic, Synphaera, and Suburbs of Goa are my favs. This is my jam!

  • What is a small gadget under $10-20 that you absolutely LOVE?
  • Yeah, I can see that, but it's like $70. Yes, I looked.

  • Stop!
  • Thank you so much! :3

  • Billboards Calling Trump Chicken for Running from Debates Pop Up in Pennsylvania
  • Sometimes, you just gotta say "cluck it" and walk away.

  • PlayStation's Classics Are Quietly Making a Comeback, And It's About Time

  • Ahead of the presidential election, Ben & Jerry’s endorses Kamala Harris with new ice cream flavor
  • Then there's people like me, who love Outshine's coconut bars because it has tons of shredded coconut in it.

  • Daybreak bought Palia studio Singularity 6 and aims to bring the game to launch

    File this one under “did not see this coming in a million years but also not sad about it whatsoever”: Daybreak has acquired Palia studio Singularity 6.

    “Our team is absolutely thrilled to be joining forces with Daybreak Game Company, a subsidiary of Enad Global 7 AB (EG7), known for publishing and supporting some of the world’s most popular and successful online multiplayer franchises, such as EverQuest, H1Z1, The Lord of the Rings Online, and more,” S6 announced this evening. “The acquisition provides us with some incredible resources and support to continue developing Palia and elevate the product to meet the gold standard that our players expect, including engaging new content, impactful social features, and quality-of-life improvements across the board.”

    Singularity 6 says that it will “continue operating independently” under its co-founders and that its “vision and creative direction will remain intact,” which would generally be one of those lines in a press release like this that causes eyerolls, but it might actually be believable in this case, given how Daybreak has handled Standing Stone Games for the last many years now.

    Daybreak, of course, was founded back in 2015 using the bones of SOE, but it was itself acquired by EG7, and since then, it’s basically taken over EG7 from the inside out. It’s actually performed fairly well for EG7 over the last few years, though it dipped at the end of 2023, sold off the PlanetSide IP, and relinquished development of PlanetSide 2. Buying an existing studio and game actually aligns rather nicely with EG7’s stated goals of running consistent mid-tier MMORPG moneymakers.

    S6 has been struggling for the last many months as it appeared to be suffering serious financial difficulties and went through multiple rounds of layoffs as well as its Palia beta obfuscation fiasco, so it’s hard to see this as anything but good news for folks who wanted to see Palia stick around to actually see its real launch and/or see Daybreak expand and maybe even return to its glory days of bailing out floundering MMOs.
