Long but worthy read. No surprised that this is a MAGA thing at heart, and it's why that, unfair or not, any affiliation with MAGA or MAHA should naturally invite intense skepticism that the reality they describe is on the same plane as ours heated.world/p/the-influe...
The influencer teaching millions to fear solar
Alexandra Fasulo says she’s protecting farms and wildlife. How much of her rhetoric is actually true?

I've always been a bit cold on Yakuza/LaD, because I feel like it's always reaching but never quite grasping for the right gameplay. Having recently played it again, it turns out that already exists and it is still excellent today
what’s the Odyssey about? I’m so glad you asked
I find the SGDQ thing heartwarming, not only because I agree with the action but it's yet another sign that, yes, you can just *do* that, the world won't burn, you'll have another event, and life goes on. I think it takes an honest mindset to do something like that, which is where many struggle
Shame about almost everything non-gameplay related about SFxTekken, it has some awesome remixes of classic Tekken tracks that you never get to hear youtu.be/7ftr_U7yzTQ

If I were trying to increase foreign tourism by buying up sundry entertainment companies and sporting teams, I would simply not restart the war of aggression I had previously started that has caused untold numbers of displacement and death
Yemen’s Houthis have launched missiles at Saudi Arabia in retaliation for a strike on Sana’a Airport. Several Saudi airports are now closed.
I support this position, we shoulda been divesting from EVO and boycotting EWC ASAP, but also look at who we're talking about this whole scene is fucking whack there's too many bums who only care about chasing a bag and they have overwhelming mindshare in the community.
IMAGINE IF THE FGC HAD THIS MUCH OF A FUCKING BACKBONE TO STOP PARTNERING WITH EVO, SNK, EWC, ETC. IMAGINE THE BETTER FUTURE WE COULD HAVE
Could be a handy quote for life itself!
Everybody sucks here and I hate how compelling it is!
Trying to research the Reddit Bricks story: - Franchisee makes consignment deal that isn't legal under franchise contract - Consignor was given an inflated value, is owed substantially less - Nuisance Youtuber makes himself the center of it all and tries to represent himself in court Jail pls?
seemingly everyone chotiner interviews: “rip to everyone humiliated by chotiner but i’m different. and better. maybe even better than chotiner.”
A prediction from me in 2023. I was off by a year, but it's good (read: soul killing) to know that I can read the tea leaves well enough

I get ppl being annoyed with the Ludwig thing, but at least that was a slop v slop exhibition. Real ones remember that there was a stunt to have Lupe Fiasco beat Daigo via a thrown match and Evo put him #1 on the leaderboards on SRK and pretended it was a shoot. Way more humiliating as a competitor
Jabba the Hutt: *looking at Cassian Andor, gesturing* Ya Fussa Pleeka Jutu "Y tu mamá también" Ho Ho Ho Ho Salacious Crumb: HeeeeeHehheheheEEE
Running for political office on the barn-burning platform of "YouTube pedophile hunting vigilantes should all be imprisoned for 3-5 years"
a large portion of small business owners got that way because they were nightmares to work with anywhere else
This dumbass guy from DK 64 looks like Grox from War Gods.
Evo has the lowest entrants since 2014 and they want like 8 of these mf
Been playing this now that it's free on PS+. If you solely followed mainstream discussion of this game you'd feel as gaslit as I do now lol this is a quite solid action/stealth game. YT and Twitter so trash for talking about games iswtg
The Baffler wrote an article on the "Saudification" of video games, rightfully bringing up the EA deal but not one word about the competitive fighting game space rollup or Fatal Fury, which is arguably the first "Saudified" product from a company they completely own. "Baffling" indeed!
The first “Outer Worlds” was a charming work of anti-corporate satire, allowing players to side with eco-socialists against the corporate raider class. Its sequel—produced after its studio was acquired by Microsoft—was less critical, more cynical.
