Is there an election between now and when any intelligent person would realize "If they were gonna do it, they would have done it by now"? Oh, who am I kidding; our Democrats have been holding literally every issue over their voters' heads for decades and no one's caught on yet.

Hungary was never part of the Soviet Union.

Sadly, developers seemingly have to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting hardware features that other platforms don't have. Think about how many first-person shooters came out on the PS4 and didn't support gyro aim. Including some that got it when they were ported to the Switch...

I started watching Pat Boivin's (of Two Best Friends Play fame) playthrough of the Demon's Souls remake, and he said when his sword hits a wall, it feels like you're holding a thing that just scraped against a wall. I don't even know what that means! Shame demo kiosks died in the pandemic...

Probably the same timeline where Hurricane Katrina happened during Obama's presidency.

That megacorp, and others like them, are more to blame for fascists getting into positions of power in the first place than anyone else is. If it weren't for their willingness to overlook those policies on the grounds that it means less taxes and fewer regulations, and donate millions to their...

Europe is also pushing hard for clean energy, so they'll probably just dump more funding into that and hope for the best.

Yeah, I get the sentiments behind those who've been making parallels between this and Bush invading Iraq (especially in terms of how the rest of the world responded), but they are also not literally the same in all aspects. Bush wasn't trying to make Iraq the 51st state, and Putin isn't going to...

It's a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't scenario. Allow it to exist as a giant company town, or make them submit to the fascist state?

This part is the real shocker. People are talking about Russia planning to erect their own Great Firewall to cut them off from any non-state-approved information, but apparently they've already had one for a good long while.

At what point do we just straight-up admit the legal system is fundamentally broken? Like, there have to be plenty of countries where he wouldn't be allowed to do this stuff, right? And not just the third-world ones where people have no rights.

Getting drunk on the job, what are they, airline pilots?

Todd's gone all the way back to 1970 this time, with a song I first discovered in 2009 when the oldies station finally started adding '70s music to their lineup. I had no idea it was written by the same guy as "Build Me Up, Buttercup", i.e. the catchiest song ever created, but it tracks...

My only experience with emulators is the kind that run on PCs, and I don't know if my reaction time is good enough to even judge if there's input lag or not. That said, I've heard that some of the worst lag tends to come from the TV; for a long time, flatscreen TVs have been infamous for having...

Just heard that Germany is buying a bunch of fighter planes from the US. Our actual military might not be doing anything, but the military-industrial complex will be eating good tonight. Comment on the r/news thread that I found amusing:

I laughed.

And we should let them go, and block them from coming back.

Still wouldn't discount the possibility that Musk intends to throw the match. Or that he will once the oligarchs make a counter offer.

Only "might"? Have we forgotten the half-decade worth of memes about how swole Putin actually is under the suit? At this point the only two possibilities are that Musk will get curb stomped... and that Putin will go easy on him but narrowly beat him anyway because they've secretly been planning...

Isn't this the same guy who also mocked people on Twitter for supporting Ukraine just today?
