even popular left-wing thought is toying with abandoning abortion rights

probably referring to elizabeth bruenig, the atlantic excusing hires (at first) for calling for the systematic hanging of people who get abortions, perhaps the democrats running anti-choice candidates

laws attempting to restrict gender presentation and roles rear their heads all too frequently

bathroom bills, abortion laws maybe? the author is in england and might be talking about laws in less prominent european states

We live in a world where dominant culture and even popular left-wing thought is toying with abandoning abortion rights and laws attempting to restrict gender presentation and roles rear their heads all too frequently.

Where is this coming from?

I love the casual drop of a new Bioshock game in development

like the only thing that could be better would be if they did a humble toy studies bundle i fuckin love toy studies

this is the #content I live for

I got so excited I emailed the link to one of my old tutors cause I think he would appreciate them

Yeah I noticed you bought it and I was gonna ask you about it so thank 4 review

yeah i played it with emily a bit using the game pass trial but like... the game has so much potential but fell flat in a lot of ways and just isn't worth $60. Maybe I'll check it out again in a year but it needs more time in the oven.

I haven't played it yet, mostly cause I've heard a lot of the things you said above. It's really weird how much this $60 game published by microsoft seems like an indie early access game! I'm wondering if getting the water to be THAT good took a ton of their development time, or if they cut a bunch of content to later sell as DLC, or what... it's weird, for sure.

I hope it gets a bunch of meaningful updates cause the core of the game, the idea of it, is so GOOD. But yea it seems like it's just,,, deeply flawed for now :(

Hell yea

more casual players getting into fortnite and other games through the mobile port is cool

I beat Kirb last night and it was amazing. The pacing was just right. The music was fantastic! I loved all the call-backs to earlier games in the series, from entirely recreated levels (Floria from Super Star!!) to remixed music and boss fights. The final boss even had attacks that referenced the final bosses from Super Star and Crystal Shards.

The only thing missing for me was a remix of the timeless final boss music from super star - Marx's Theme

This is like the side of gaming I've never done anything with but it rules

i miss quake 3 a lot but i definitely don't miss having to worry about making sure you were always framecapped

This video not only included

1. Phalanx, the famous cover for a completely unnotable game that has had the staying power of almost 30 years by now. Guys, this is not a mark of lunacy, but mastership in execution.
2. Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy. Just look at the type faces included here. With this video game in your paws, you want to be a furry.

Puyo Nexus has a good series of tutorials that have helped me get started. From there it's a lot of time and practice until you can instinctively visualize how to put all these chaining forms together.

im so bad at these kinds of games, the ability to play them well is like a superpower to me

Good to see Ian make a video on something he likes for a change!

I want this game BAD but I'm on a "watching things and drawing" kick right now that I don't want to end prematurely with exciting new viddy games. but SOON.

aaaaaa I'm so excited, I spent ages wondering what the FTL devs were gonna do next, I played the SHIT outta FTL, got all the ships n everything

that looks rly cool!

i'm super hype for this one! i spent months of my life in FTL and thoroughly enjoyed it

new hotline Miami looks lit

My favorite detail in this is that they took script lines that were just "[...]" in Japanese and added a bunch of interior monologue so westerners could tell what the main character is thinking. It's so clever.

Yeah, my guess is that the water is brown, stinky, and full of algae.

current best

for more points you need to get 100+ in the cultural and scientific spheres, (gotten through ruins/higher order inhabitants/meeting a space drone), or getting perks 'outstanding beauty' and another higher order society that is intergrated into.

i have also learnt that upgrading your data scanners and then losing the percentages mean that if you cannot scan the item the perk from the upgrade isnt there.
