I’m pretty sure the shock of taking so much damage at once would kill you

wrong, but that’s okay because it means more for the rest of us

for some reason I always think the 360 came out much earlier than it really did.

god has it really been two decades?

We were created by a bunch of fanatics that y’all didn’t want on the continent anymore because they constantly wanted to ruin other people’s lives, can you really be that surprised?

Gamecube-PS2-Xbox 360 Era. It was a time when game developmental costs had come down a bit, the demand for games was pretty steady, and the market wasn’t oversaturated. It allowed AAA devs to make some big creative swings and return a steady profit.

There’s a lot of different genres that are popular today where you can point to a game from that era as the progenitor. Stuff like Resident Evil 4 for the third person action shooter, Devil May Cry for spectacle RPGs, Katamari Damacy and Pikmin for uh…whatever the hell they are.

I don’t think AAA has ever been as creative as they were during that period. For over a decade now, pretty much all creativity in games has come from indies, with AAA being comprised of copycats.

nah they’ve always struck me as the type of guys who want someone to suck them off and then have them finish themselves off. they’re not giving any reacharounds or reciprocating.

damn I wish I lived in this fantasy. Working food service during the pandemic, all I remember was the MAGAts screaming at me and my coworkers.

it insists upon itself

what fucking world is frozen pizza $1 usd?

The absolute cheapest thing that tastes like cardboard is still like $4

it’s so wild that she never wants to eat them. I’m eating them! I know it’s yummy! oftentimes it’s stuff with fish or chicken, which she knows the taste of! but never even goes for a nibble, just a sniff.

Honestly quite happy that she’s very stupid. The only way she knows what food is, is if it is in her bowl.

or even just… what cops in the U.S. do to any minority.

Had a co-worker today try to be like “extra-legal executions just aren’t American” and I was like “welllll we sure seem to love doing them, especially against anyone with a skin color other than white.” Topic changed pretty quickly after that.

:3

okay but goals? looks fine to me

yeah I don’t interact with people who clearly aren’t interested in first-hand accounts that don’t fit their narrative

why does the dem look so submissive and breedable

my friend lent me a heating pad cuz one of my cats had a spay this last Friday. she’s spent practically the whole weekend recovering on it. I think I’ll have to buy a heating pad now, because I don’t think she’ll be happy when I have to return this one to my friend!

If you’re interested, I’d recommend reading through the works of José Peirats, especially The CNT in the Spanish Revolution: Volume 3 which details the numerous different ways that the Soviets suppressed and terrorized the syndicalists, going as far as imprisoning and torturing anarchists and anti-fascists.

no shot, the US is actually kinda fucked if they get in a serious international war. There’d be a huge fifth column that could get supplied through Canada and Mexico

a big part of it was people seeing first hand the Soviet’s sabotaging the CNT-FAI’s efforts, which I imagine was part of what turned Orwell against communists later in his life.

I still contend that if the Soviet’s supported the Syndicalists as much as the Nazis supported the Nationalists, CNT-FAI would have won the war.

yeah people don’t realize just how insidious advertisement really is.

your phone isn’t “reading your mind,” advertisers have such a comprehensive model of you that they’re able to predict your thoughts with an incredibly high degree of accuracy before you even have them. There’s also obviously a bit of confirmation bias in play, you only remember the times they got it right as opposed to the times they guessed wrong.
