  • Permanently Deleted

  • Likely never; our country has been allergic to holding people adequately accountable for abuses of power for a long time. Remember, Ford pardoned Nixon. I'll be pleasantly surprised if the next Democratic president doesn't pardon Trump and/or most of these people in the name of bipartisanship.

  • Superman mutates into Super-Landlord

  • Anyone else notice the drip bucket and crack in the ceiling seem to be on opposite sides of the room?

  • SEGA Could Revive Skies of Arcadia

  • At this point I'll believe it when I see it.

  • Helldivers 2 Omens of Tyranny major update out now - ILLUMINATE ARE BACK!

  • They dropped the update during The Game Awards, timed to release while their update announcement trailer played at the event. They seem to have wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible.

  • North Korean troops so 'poorly trained that Putin army yet to throw them into fight'

  • Training people can be harder when the trainees have to unlearn bad habits or knowledge. Ask anyone who has tutored previously self-taught students an artform or craft.

    In some ways, media exposure can help to introduce broad concepts, and sometimes there are excellent examples in media (My Cousin Vinny and Legally Blonde have been used in some US law school course curriculum to show how the parts of the judicial system are supposed to operate, iirc), but oftentimes preconceived notions can hinder training for the real thing.

  • Man who found smooth Mars bar gets £2 compensation

  • American here; you're spot on. The US/Mexico version of the Milky Way bar has a layer of caramel in addition to the nougat, and 3 Musketeers is essentially the global version of Milky Way. Our bars may be also bigger in size.

  • What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?

  • "I hate Ayn Rand." -Francis

  • Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard

  • Honestly, I wanted to ditch the left trackpad for a D-pad and a couple more buttons on the back, but that's all I really wanted. I found myself playing more FPS titles with the Steam Controller than with K+M because the trackball mouse feature worked very well for quick coarse camera movements and gyro aiming improved my fine camera movements for lining up shots.

  • Is the Wii good?

  • I just got a Wii to play RE4, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and a couple GameCube games. I still need to get the component cable (I'm on composite, which isn't ideal) but I'm finding it just as fun as I remember.

  • Random Screenshots of my Games #46 - Deep Rock Galactic

  • Tbf, as a Driller main I, too, drill straight toward objectives. Though I'll ensure I don't drill at too steep an angle, since I don't want to have to bother jumping off I can avoid it. I'll also drill straight toward the escape pod from whatever room the group is in, which usually winds up helping everyone.

    In my group, the person that usually plays engineer has the nuke OC, so I'm generally not the main source of friendly fire. I do fight giant bugs' with C4, though.

  • Random Screenshots of my Games #46 - Deep Rock Galactic

  • The Driller specializes in drilling tunnels and igniting alien bugs with his flamethrower using C4 on Scouts.

    I love this game, even though I haven't played in months. I've got a verified mod installed that gives every enemy googly eyes (and one semi-mobile plant that already looked like a Muppet opening and closing its mouth) which makes me very happy.

  • Teary-eyed John Oliver begs reluctant voters to back Harris

  • Are they forgoing voting in down-ballot races as well? Undervoting is a thing, and most electoral shifts start at the local level.

  • New Major Order: It's time to bring Managed Democracy to the paranormal realm.

  • Instructions unclear; dropping anti-personnel mines in the foyer.

  • Screenshots of what I'm playing, day 1: progressing through Sonic 2

  • I remember planting so, so many rings in a single place with debug mode enabled in Sonic 2 just so I could play through each stage as Super Sonic without effort- aside from the super slippery controls.

  • Mail carriers reach tentative contract with USPS that includes pay raises and air-conditioned trucks

  • Some states don't require observation of heat stroke risk mitigation for their workers. Getting it into their federal labor contract ensures a) the feature will be required as a functional feature in all their vehicles, and 2. they can't be told not to turn the feature on.

  • Jason Bradbury’s Upcoming Retro Gaming Movie ‘Ctrl AI Delete’ Passes 50% Funding | Retro Dodo

  • This was the only thing I could think of with that title.

  • How to handle getting overwhelmed late game?

  • My approach has been to accept some spaghetti or otherwise inefficient production lines when figuring out the new mechanics. Once I feel confident in my experience I'll approach the next factory for similar production lines in a more efficient manner.

    Crucially, I absolutely refuse to do a full teardown of my old spaghetti and inefficient structures so long as they're still producing what I need of them (at most I'll do the bare minimum to get them working again), and I try to limit how much rebuilding I need to do to incorporate new production lines to the existing system.

    Is it inefficient? Yup. Does it lead to wild power fluctuations? You bet! Will I have to wait an extraordinary amount of time to complete each phase? Absolutely.

  • Russia’s Central Bank reports record staffing shortage.

  • To add to this: taking territory is the easy part.

    The hard part is holding it, because you don't just have to worry about staffing the front line, but maintaining security in the occupied regions long enough for non-state actors to cease hostilities and accept the invading force as the new legitimate authority- which may never fully occur- all the while dealing with resistance fighters.

    This means orders of magnitude more personnel, funding, and equipment for an unknowable length of time across a much larger area than just the line of incursion.

    It's taken them two years to fail to take the land, and now have an incursion into their own soil to contend with. so I'm skeptical they'd manage to keep it permanently.

  • Day 92 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

  • I've been playing this game off and on for years, and it's always a delight.

    That perfect investigation bonus can get pretty big, and that needs a full photo album of 3-Star photos. Disturbed salt is an easy way to get close to that, so your friend is sleeping on some great cheese.
