i'm an annoying person who personally boycotts products for which i am shown an annoying advertisement and coca cola took the cake with their AI generated advertisements

i ended up getting Olipop at my local Costco, and they had a "vintage cola" flavor. unfortunately the Olipop coca-cola contains no kola nut

Olipop is one of those "healthy soda" companies, but a whole can of sugar makes me ill whereas this makes me poop good instead.

the coca-cola olipop taste is unabashedly different than Coca-Cola Company coca-cola, and i have no reference point for coca-cola of the 1800s

(p.s. in an effort to make the Coca Cola company Coca-Cola trademark unenforeable, as the name 'Coke' now is, i am calling the drink coca cola. i'm also stressing it as co-CA-co-LA)

And we don't know yet if Maduro or his wife are still alive!

I keep thinking about this time a decade ago, when Trump had already announced his candidacy and it was all just a really, really funny joke. He was a huge meme on 4chan. He's still an actual clown (he's taking a press conference out of fuckin Mar a Lago, he'll inevitably be caked in orange makeup; it's all normal now but still ludicrious).

I keep thinking about "Nothing Ever Happens" posters after events where hundreds of people die, etc. I understand the context as a response to "It's happening!" and to point out the trend towards normalcy, but it's even infected leftie spaces.

This is the kind of thing we expected from a Trump presidency but still. Man

these promotional materials are hilarious. Like:

the Augment System lets you bestow items with randomized stats modifiers, truly defining what it means to be a legend of Lore!

They aren't even taking themselves seriously

Unleash your creativity with our free sandbox game features. Design, customize, and personalize your own in-game home, castle, kingdom, or… helicopter made out of sofas?… with a massive array of items to make your Player Housing build truly unique. Freely rotate, scale, stack, levitate, distort, and place any object ANYWHERE within your virtual home. Time to showcase your epic sandbox skills! The only limit is your imagination… aaand maybe map size, which is limited to a mere 5000 items.

Sheepishly including the object cap for your Sandbox Game Features is so arbitrary and funny

Update on Dodeca Dragons

As an idle game, I don't like this. Many upgrades increase your rate of points by many orders of magnitude. (Say, you get 10 points a second, and at 1000 points you can buy an upgrade that increases your gain to 10,000 points per second).

This means all the time spent idling afterwards is effectively wasted. So, there is a lot of manual grinding. This is not a good "number go up in background, check back every few hours" game. This is a "click so many buttons" game.

It's got a charming interface, at least. But it's a lot of grinding.

i was really dismayed that we didn't drop facebook and instagram after the rolling horrors, but Elon Musk is very publicly awful and doing nazi salutes
