lolololololol

Also picked up the new Castlevania title. (Belmont's Curse)

It, like Dead Cells, is gorgeous visually, plays very well, and is good fun. It does not stick to the OG Castlevania formula, but is more of a souls-like, and that's not a bad thing.

The only major downer is I don't like the music, so I've muted that and just have the OG Castlevania soundtrack playing on random while I play.

That is some seriously petty bullshit on the part of the HOA.

Get a fucking life.

This is fascinating as heck. I've never even heard of the concept of wargaming sciency stuff. I'm going to have to make a video about this on my channel. Thanks!

I am, once again, playing Noita.

I have come to really like this game. A lot of it is how the procedurally-generated levels are always interesting, the spells are randomized, so literally every run is different. I also end up killing my wizard in fun, weird ways, like summoning a giga black hole and being sucked into it.

Agreed.

The denials are so pathetic. We know they're fascists, and we know they gleefully embrace the idea of accountability-free torture policies on perceived undesirables. (Unfortunately, though, we saw during the WoT that torture has bipartisan support.)

Also, I want to see an audit of Alligator Alcatrez. $400,000,000 to build a tent city doesn't make any sense whatsoever beyond government patronage and fraud.

Don't plan on using Grindr after going to the polls. Probably won't be working.

I believe it.

Infuriating, and the donut eaters will line up to deflect and defend themselves when the full breadth of these abuses eventually become known.

And I half-expected it to be Uvalde.

I love that the Hard Times came in so hard on this one. It's eminently frustrating to me that everyone just kinda forgot how Robert Kraft was caught, on video, participating in a sex trafficking operation. (Granted, his lawyers got the video suppressed in court, but it was reported to exist in the media.)
