I’d hate to come across as a Molyneux apologist, but at least Fable 1 was fun. SC can’t claim anything close to that.

This probably isn’t due to any good intentions from Peter himself though, he was tied to a studio that demanded a complete game be released, SC is just on a money treadmill and their “visionary” is free to just grift away.

I read HPMoR back in the day, I don’t remember any grimdark shit, but he was still writing it when I stopped reading so I’m not surprised to hear it went that direction.

It was so weird to hear the author of HPMoR come up in a recent TrueAnon episode, but not at all surprising to learn that he’s an ai grifter these days.

Grab a 5lb CO2 tank from the home brew shop, and a little adapter for sodastream canisters. Easy to fill up at home and you only need to refill the big tank every 5 or 6 refills of the small one. Super cheap as well (and te money goes to your hbs).

I found WoT to really become a slog around book 8. If you’re feeling that way I’d highly recommend finding some summaries and skipping to wherever Brandon Sanderson picks it up. Most of my friends that have read the series dropped off somewhere around book 7 - 9 so I always want people to know that it’s ok to skip some just to get to the finale.

Also lmao to that pigmobile

I tuned in just as she was getting asked about Israel and dear god is it awful.

Trump coming in hot with saying she hates both Israel and "the Arabs", I can't deal with this.

Star Citizen shit makes me so mad. If a tiny fraction of what they’ve promised actually existed as a functional cohesive game it would probably be sick. When I first heard about SC I was obsessed with it, how could you not be? I know this is the oldest grift in vidya games, but at least Peter molyneux delivered a fun game, if it was a shadow of what was promised.

I think that “it’s supposed to be shit” can be good when it comes from an artist that has the ability to do it well. No idea if this is the case for Raygun, but it’d be interesting to me if she had proven her chops elsewhere then decided to put on a horrible act.

There’s never been a better time to switch to Firefox, just saying.

I was just at an aquarium yesterday admiring this tomato-y boy, are you in my head?
