Team Fortress 2 petition calls for microtransaction boycott to put pressure on Valve
  • How many games have microtransactions that disappear within a few years? Seems like team fortress 2 is the one place where you can buy an in-game item and still have access to it over a decade later. Not many games can say that.

  • The Absurdity of the Dump-Biden Uprising
  • Listen. I don't like Biden. I didn't get a choice of who should run for the Democratic party in my state.

    But at the end of the day, I would pick a literal pile of dog shit that's turned white from being cooked in the sun, over Donald Trump.

    The debate isn't changing anyones mind. It sure is generating a lot of panic news though because to the news, appearing tired is just as damaging as appearing unhinged and lying nonstop.

  • Trump is “absolutely” immune for “official acts” on Jan 6th, SCOTUS rules
  • Wouldn't this mean a president has an obligation to kill his political opponents if they're seen as a threat to the United States, and as an official act, it would be completely legal? Effectively making one man above the law.

    Even if it's not seen as an official act, you can't charge the president while they're in the office, and with that power and a loyal justice department, you could eliminate anyone who might try to argue the legality of your actions.

    Good luck convincing anyone to bring a case against the guy who keeps making people disappear when they investigate him.

    This + project 2025 & a trump presidency is the end of US democracy. I don't even wanna start thinking about the impacts globally..

  • The ‘Climate Crisis’ Fades Out
  • Oh look at that. The author, Steven E. Koonin, was employed by BP as their Chief Scientist. Then he was in the department of energy during Obama's administration.

    I'm sure he doesn't have a vested interest in oil though.

    The energy transition’s purported climate benefits are distant, vague and uncertain while the costs and disruption of rapid decarbonization are immediate and substantial.

    Yeah... No conflict of interest here at all.

  • Ghost Stories (English Dub) is currently free in the US to watch on Youtube

    If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

    [FF7Rebirth] what are you most looking forward to see?

    The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

    [Spoiler] Act 2 - Last Light Inn | Discussion

    Can we discuss the start of act 2?

    I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

    This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

    I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

    It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

    My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

    Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
