    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    They're just going after other Commonwealth countries so they can pretend they're getting the band back together.

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    You can make people answer test questions, but you can't force them to believe the answers they gave.

    Back 4 blood! Cause zombies weren't enough: we needed mutating worms.

    Regardless of whether this game is a worthy successor or not, it speaks volumes about Valve that someone had to step up and be the Bloodstained to their Castlevania. That makes them Konami in this equation. That's how fall they've fallen since 2009.

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Sadly, people who actually care about any of that stuff are a lot rarer than you think. Companies like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, and Konami wouldn't still be the biggest and most successful ones in the industry if the vast, vast majority of gamers weren't utter sheep who will shell out for a turd...

    So how many easily-provent perjury charges did he rack up per sentence?

    Seriously though, I would 100% believe they are actually making a registry of everyone they've sent this message to, for... future use.

    Goddamn that is some straight-up Death Eater language.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Wouldn't be the first time one of the two major parties has held onto its legitimacy despite clearly existing solely to be the villains of the story and despite having already been defeated by its heroes.

    Christian Evangelicals - not all are made equal

    The funny thing is that the "Evangelical" label was coined by people who were trying to distance themselves from the religious ultraconservatives of their day, the Fundamentalists. Time is a flat circle.

    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    If certain commercials for charitable foundations are anything to go off, one in six just sounds like they've caught up to the status quo in the US.

    Police behaving badly

    It happened long enough ago that I've lost the link, but special mention has to go to all the police departments that tried to make their officers get the COVID shot and caved at the first sign of resistance. I feel like if we started enforcing the vaccine on a nationwide basis for police...

    Outdated game mechanics.

    Oh, I'm sure it was a deliberate choice even back then. Random encounters are how most fights work in tabletop RPGs too, right? The DM just goes "there's a monster in this room; everybody roll for initiative"? With the logic being that as soon as you can see it, it can see you too unless you're...

    Outdated game mechanics.

    I'm amazed that random encounters without overworld sprites survived past the age of turn-based movement and platforms that couldn't handle more than a few sprites on screen at a time. Even roguelikes made enemies your character could see visible, and being bullshit on toast was the entire point...

    The COVID Vaccination Thread

    Honest question: You know how the ACA forbids insurance companies from denying people coverage for any reason as long as they paid up? Does it say anything about the hospitals? Because if I were an overcrowded hospital I'd start authorizing the clerks to look up incoming patients' Facebook...

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    I feel like if you're literally the government, allowing your defendant to settle out of court shouldn't even be allowed. They should have to make their pathetic excuses before a real judge, as quickly as possible, and get taken for all they're worth.

    The Ever Popular, "What Are You Playing" Thread!

    My abusive relationship with Enter the Gungeon remains as strong as ever, but I've added a new infuriating roguelike to the mix, Void Bastards. It's a first-person shooter with heavy System Shock inspiration and a tone right out of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Technically it's a...
