I disliked the batmobile sequences so much it ruined the game for me.

Kind of a bummer since I played all of the other three Arkham games and loved them.

Gave up Dragons Dogma 2 at 120 hours.

Played a shit-ton of Vampire Survivors this week and I’m thinking I may pick Jedi: Fallen Order back up. Jedi: Fallen Order was hard for me to get into because, while it has a fantastic opening act, normal difficulty was too hard and easy was way too easy, which made it tough to get into.

I would be shitting my pants in terror if Boeing were trying to take my body anywhere.

Gaza’s new terror: Booby-trapped cans of food for the unwary --- UPDATE: please see comment in the thread (news.un.org)

A 14-year-old boy was seriously injured and sustained limb amputations after opening a booby-trapped can of food found while looking for his belongings in his house that had been shelled by Israeli forces in Khan Younis,” the UN aid coordination office (OCHA) said, citing the Strip’s authorities....

*EDIT: Apparently the original story was deleted.

I can’t find a legit source for this.

Doesn’t change the fact that Israel and Genocide Joe are warmongers, but it appears this is false, maybe a reverse recycling job on the propaganda around Israel supposedly finding warheads in kids’ toy chests.

The answer to that question is: jack shit.

He’ll wipe his ass with it and then order more bombings. (Oh, excuse me, I mean “air strikes”.)

Yup. I got a grip accessory for mine to mitigate it.

Really, I just mean ‘in the courts’.

When American business interests just decided to unite and collectively steal all of the IP on the Internet, it was always going to end up in the courts. Neither Congress nor the President will act because, by and large, the people doing the thieving are their golf buddies and fund their campaigns.

I switched back to a very early morning workout routine this week, so I am TIRED.

BUT, I’m about to DM a party for some D&D, so Friday night’s looking lit.

After 120 hours, I finally got bored with Dragon’s Dogma 2.

So I’m picking back up Solasta: Crown of the Magister. I also dusted off my VR rig and I’m playing the Affected: The Manor, a horror/haunted house game.

It’ll be fun.

LOL

Because giving people the option to opt-in to the platform that birthed the resurgence of Fascism worked out so well. I’m good with not hearing your weird uncle’s incoherent rants about chemtrails and lizard people, thanks.

I’ve wanted to see this in the US for years.

I’m doubtful it can happen, but it is more than fair of the author to point out the multiple labor wins over the last year as evidence that maybe it isn’t a pipe dream.

Only lightly?

That’s a shame.

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

Define ‘better’. I’m not sure that word means what you think it means.

The first two paragraphs sum this up pretty well: “To understand the current headline-dominating furor over the protests taking place on college campuses against the war in Gaza, think about the death toll of each. As of the time of writing, more than thirty-four thousand Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, almost certainly a massive undercount. On US campuses, that figure is zero.

It’s this cosmically vast discrepancy in terms of “harm” and “safety” that more than anything explains the absurd and ongoing freakout over college students protesting the war on Gaza — one that would be laughable if it weren’t so menacing.”

I love that the top comments are all “I don’t”, as if that’s helpful in any way.

First, you should put this in air quotes: “a major healthcare reform”. It’s only a reform if you the consumer can absorb the price gouging required to access our health care system in the first place.

Secondly, Obama had a supermajority for a time. He could have done anything if he’d have been willing to do the work.

Americans can’t eat excuses, and for me at least, it’s no longer acceptable to simply be slightly less conservative than the other conservatives.

Respectfully, the “fight them there so we don’t fight them here” and “help them stand up so we can stand down” nonsense is straight out of the chickenhawks’ war branding guide. Our government wasted tens of trillions on these meaningless platitudes in Afghanistan and Iraq, and those boondoggles led to the rise of ISIS.

Meanwhile I can look over the border and see Mexico spending a mere 8 billion a year on war and Canada a mere 26 billion. Meanwhile we’re up to a trillion and a half this year, but sure, it has nothing to do with the housing crisis or the standard of living in this country. We’re definitely not neglecting our own people to feed an insatiable war machine.

Frankly, I’m sick of watching our government impoverish our people to pay for more super yachts for warmongers.

It’s a hard one.

I’m no longer adapted to in-office work, so doing a two-day stretch wore me out, and I have many more meetings than usual this week.

BUT, tomorrow’s Friday.
