Have you tried Broforce? It seems like a run and gun, but the key is thinking how to get out of situations.

How about some pre-transhuman solarpunk? I recommend my favorite book, Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. It’s about the birth pangs of a post scarcity society. Absolutely brilliant.
I thought I was the only one who’s seen Scavenger’s Reign. I haven’t heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it’s amazing.
Six more months until season 2. Counting down the days.
Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it’s one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.
I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides “do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed.” And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.
The only game I really liked in VR was Euro Truck Simulator 2 which wasn’t even a VR game.
HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
The porn was fun though.
I saw Star Wars in the theater when it was just called Star Wars. I couldn’t agree with OP more. However I have zero trust that Disney will make more adult oriented shows for the simple reason of merch. What’s the merchandising opportunities of Andor? You can’t sell lightsaber replicas when there’s no lightsabers to replicate.
Besides J.Lo and the CGI special effects and pedestrian plot, it looks almost interesting.
Emotional reward.
Yay, it can be stopped. Somebody else get on that right away.
So… what’s the second rule of talking to Fox News?
Cory Doctorow and I suggest reading Walkaway. I found it transformative.
It’s a matter of privilege. Trump had the opportunity to stack the courts in his favor. SBF didn’t. The rich rally around Trump because they see him as one of their own. SBF was an interloper. Trump has a rabid fan base willing to commit violence in his name. SBF cloaked himself in effective altruism.
If they both don’t rot in jail, then the myth of the social contract in the US will be torn to shreds. I fear what would happen after that.
Lemmy is home.
Hol’ up. Abe wasn’t a member of the church. However, his grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, (founder of the LDP, fascist, and Class A war criminal) allowed The Unification Church to prey on vulnerable Japanese people. The Nippon Kaigi, the shadowy fascist organization that decides who leads the LDP, has allowed the church to fundraise in Japan for three generations.
Tetsuya Yamagami started out as your run of the mill right winger until he learned of the links between Abe and the Moonies. He wanted to take revenge on Moon’s widow, Hak Ja Han Moon, but he couldn’t travel out of the country because of the pandemic. So he targeted the next best thing.
Wouldn’t you know it? All that harmony disrupting shit that Japan just ignored couldn’t be ignore any longer.
On top of that, there’s some scandal about LDP slush funds now. Fascists gonna fascist I suppose.
That’s news to my brows. Mine are growing longer. A few more years of this and I’ll look like the mentats from Lynch’s Dune.
Put more thought into realistic options for my career.
The first step for me was recognizing that procrastinating created more work for me in the future. Also, having those swords of Damocles hanging over my head robbed me of my mental health.
