What frustrates me is that it doesn’t have to be this way. They could just start using better original music. Consider what Game Grumps and Sbassbear did for Lipitor.

Meanwhile, they’re also responsible for the best cover of Sandstorm.

I’m on the receiving end of this from a friend and I didn’t even think twice about it. I think we’re all in a place now where being asked to install yet another app is pretty commonplace. Plus phone app stores make it relatively painless to do.

Seriously. “Our product is as much a honeypot for corrupt policing as it is for public surveillance” as the way to whitewash this just goes to show how hard they had to workshop this press release. It’s indefensible.

You’re right, but all the 1% heard was: you think they should have less yacht money.

Sweet jebus, I’m sorry to hear that. You’re absolutely right though: “have you tried PTSD?” may not be right for everyone.

See, this is why I’m afraid to go to the local recycler. I’d wind up coming home with more potential Linux systems than I know what to do with.

You may not like it, but this is what building wealth and saving for early retirement looks like.

Maybe. Is that the one with a floor-hole through to the cursed basement?

Exactly. This person has/needs a full or queen sized bed, but their bedroom isn’t big enough for it. So, it’s blocking the closet, because that’s the only place it can go.

This is why I follow reviewers and curators that sift through the bottom 99% to find interesting indie stuff. It’s absolutely jaw-dropping what never shows up on Steam’s store landing page or queues.

Splattercat is one such reviewer. He tends to prefer dystopia and post-apocalypse style stuff, and clearly works hard to bring interesting titles some more exposure: https://www.youtube.com/@splattercatgaming

You can survive Phantom Liberty. Bad news is that you’ll live on with at least five completely new forms of PTSD.

Good news is: you’re now functionally immortal.

Bad news is: everything tastes like metal.

The Ascent. I am now an indentured servant sanitation worker with a poor sense of self-preservation, but just so happens to be really good with a gun. Oh, and the arcology that is my home has been thrown into complete pandemonium because the head Corpo AGI shit the bed.

Brazil now has at least 16 more countries on their border, and none of them speak Portuguese.

What really gets me is that the compounds responsible for this hue in food are called “anthocyanins” which means “blue flower.” I can’t even.

No worries: those server chunks haven’t been explored yet. Give it time.

Seconded. That kind of humor is 100% on-brand for her.

Ah, that explains why the article smells like an LLM wrote it.

I feel ya. Pass the ibuprofen.

How in the world could someone find the energy to…

inhaling cocaine

Ah, okay. Why is the answer always drugs?
