Yeah, I’ve been saving hard for nearly 6 years now, I have zero debt from higher education, extremely cheap rent because I live in my parents’ backyard, and a well-paying job… and I still don’t know if I’ll be able to get a house by 2026.
If even one of those factors were different for me, then owning a home would become completely unrealistic.
And politicians wonder why we’re not having kids, huh.
WotC and failing to understand their own game, name a more iconic duo
Forgive my caps, but:
WHAT THE FUCK IS REUTERS DOING??? YOU DO NOT POST PICTURES OF A CITY’S CURRENT AIR DEFENCE LOCATIONS WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVELY AT WAR!! THAT WILL GET PEOPLE KILLED!
The news certainly isn’t new, but there’s a difference between knowing something that is 99% likely to be true and having hard, factual evidence, and just having a formal report on it.
We all know that Epstein didn’t kill himself. It was the most blatant political murder of the century. But there’s a difference between knowing Epstein didn’t kill himself, and a major investigatory body releasing a report that analyses all available information and confirms accurately and without bias, that Epstein didn’t kill himself.
I’ve had some issues with Invidious being unable to play specific videos once or twice, but the issues tend to go away after a couple of days.
I mean, we know Google and Youtube are both multi-billion-dollar corporations that are absolutely enraged by the idea that there could be any possible way for a commoner pleb like you to NOT have your online experience absolutely crammed with as many privacy violations and hyper-targeted ads as possible. Invidious having to constantly stay ahead of such powerful entities’ attempts to block them out means that some errors and periods of downtime are perfectly excusable- what’s important is continuing to support them in their fight.
People really need to understand that for 3rd party candidates to actually be viable then they need a dedicated support base within the existing government structure.
You can’t realistically vote in a 3rd party president until you’ve first built up an actually effective support structure of 3rd party mayors, senators, and other politicians to prove that your party can function effectively in government rolls and that it has the reach, policies and platform to actually appeal to voters at large.
(On god we need Ranked Choice voting though. Here in the UK and in America. Fuck First Past The Post, all my homies hate FPTP)
Today, we’re dancing for no reason. Someday, we’ll disappear for no reason.
“Roll a death save.”
“No.”
“…No? You can’t just not do that?”
“I don’t care.”
“That doesn’t make any sense!”
“Too bad.” Gets back up with 50% HP
You know, I feel like it might be more cost effective to use all these fighting-age men to grow your economy rather than ban birth control?
Oh yeah, I wouldn’t say that Nintendo are paragons of virtue or anything. But they are far, FAR better at making games that offer a wide variety of experiences (edit: when compared to Sony/MS. Indies are king). Similarly, sure the Switch control scheme isn’t something nobody had ever conceived of before, but it’s very distinctly different from the Xbox/Playstation controllers.
They’ve got like… what, 7 or 8 IPs that they actively maintain, right? And about 10 more derelict but still iconic IPs. Plus some stuff made by other companies that’s exclusive to their hardware.
-Mario -Zelda -Pikmin -Splatoon (Hey look a gun game) -Fire Emblem -Donkey Kong Country -Super Smash Bros
Dedicated 3rd party: -Xenoblade -Pokemon
All these games have really different themes and gameplay styles and aesthetics, and that is the reason why I’m convinced that the Switch 2 is perfectly positioned to just completely take over the market the way the Wii did- Nintendo is large and competent enough to avoid the issues that plagued the PS5 launch and later life, and fresh enough to get people interested, unlike the Xbox.
Where Sony/MS have uhhh… Looks at the PS5 exclusive games… Looks at Halo/Call of Duty/Fortnite…
Pffff. The AAA industry is notorious for being about as stale as a three week old french baguette. If it isn’t a Gun Game made for chasing the most recent trends, then chances are they don’t even want to sniff at it. To say nothing of the absolutely egregious thirst for Profit that plagues a lot of titles. It’s one thing to be a $70 game, and another thing entirely to be a $70 game with a subscription, ingame puchases, and day 1 DLC.
Sony and Microsoft can have their pathetic little ‘arms race’ about processing power and framerates and 150GB+ games.
In the meantime, Nintendo is likely going to step right up with something that has a nice fresh, intuitive control scheme like the Wii or the Switch, with a solid release library that covers a variety of styles and appeals, and promptly curbstomp the living shit out of the competitors. The market is absolutely wide open for a smash hit console in the near future, coming off the backs of the PS5’s no-games failure and the fact I haven’t even heard about the Xbox in about 3 years.
THey’re trying so hard I love them
(This is also excellent because it applies to the DnD game I’m running)
Oddjob is banned. No exceptions.
Yeah, checks out. I’m just a UK guy, but when the Tories were all having a media circus about “Oh inflation is done now, we’ve stopped inflation, the cost of living crisis is done!”, I mean… no amount of lying to my face is going to stop me going to the shops and wanting to scream when I see the price of Everything has jumped up by 20% again.
I can’t imagine that’s any different at all in China. You just can’t really hide something as objective as the cost of a bar of chocolate.
Now that’s really interesting! I wonder where I can go to see this stuff…
I don’t rightfully know, but my heart says “The hotwheels logo”
150TB??? Holy fuck. I wonder what sort of stuff one institution even stores in 150TB of data?
On one hand: How the hell do you prove that you’re NOT planning to assassinate someone?
On the other hand: Do it Kadyrov. Start a military conflict with the Russian nobility. I dare you. I double dog dare you, you prada-wearing, back-shooting, boot-licking little shit.
Peak Konsi content, this might not normally be my style of character but I LOVE it when she gets to nonchalantly and completely accidentally upend people’s understanding of reality
