The way they jerk themselves off after every successful missile strike, you would never know they were losing.

It’s a shame we never invented a Space-Time machine

Americans: “We’re going to engineer hypersonic air travel in the 1970s.”

Also Americans: “We lost the arms race to the Hermit Kingdom in 2024.”

Had the opportunity to throw some time at the FF7 Rebirth on my friend’s PS5. I’ll have to wait until June before I can expect to see it on PC, but its been a lot of fun to date. Eager to see more of it.

Meanwhile, Unicorn Overlord on the Switch has been a great travel game.

Seems like it’s the only way anyone knows how to make money anymore

War is always just the prelude to diplomacy. Gotta wonder how many more people will die before talking starts.

Indian Muslims generally

Othering 172M residents in a country prone to fractious internal conflicts and with large nuclear armed majority Muslim neighbors next door?

What could possibly go wrong?

Me: “Mom, can we have New Star Trek?”

Dune Mom: “You have Old Star Trek at home”

Old Star Trek At Home

• Regular

• Deluxe

• Budget Brand

• Whole Foods Select

• Fiji Brand Chickpea (not from Fiji and technically not a chickpea but does somehow both ruthlessly exploit foreign laborers and generate ten times its weight in carbon emissions; promises to cure cancer)

• A single novelty supersized chickpea that sits in a display case and never actually gets sold but kids love to look at.

In Georgia, demand for industrial power is surging to record highs, with the projection of electricity use for the next decade now 17 times what it was only recently.

The first new nuclear plants since Three Mile Island just came online in Georgia last year. Vogtle 3 and 4 will produce a combined 1.2 GWe at peak capacity.

These reactors took 16 years and multiple bailouts and bankruptcies to complete, costing an estimated $34B to finish.

Hopefully, future power construction will move a little smoother.

As a comparison, the Taishan Nuclear Power Plant took ten years to complete at the cost of around $7.5B and it has a peak generation of 3.3 GWe

Everyone who wants to give your lives for a 3 year long mistake, please take a step forward.

Well, it looks like everyone took a step backwards but you, Private Luckless, so pick up your rifle and follow me into the meatgrinder room.

And every time she’d try and report the posts the report button is greyed out.

What about the uninstall button?

What does it say that these once popular forms of mass surveillance are filling up with dog shit?

England posting their Ls

Its called a bumblebee because its got three left feet.

I know this to be true, because the TV told me so.

I am just personally uninterested in the direction the game is going with the OneD&D, and I think the source of this muddling path is do to the failure of the original business maneuver with the OGL revision.

I absolutely agree. Although, I think the consequences of that decision has been something of a “Let a Thousand Flowers Bloom!” D&D-knock-off renaissance. And I’m pretty happy with that, given how a lot of my old favorites from Palladium and Rollmaster and GURPS seem to have found some new life.

I don’t really see things getting better under Hasbro, so any major shakeup might be a good thing overall.

I would love to see the Onyx Path (ie, old White Wolf) folks find their legs again. Miss myself some old school Vampire: The Masquerade.

they might have been more hands-off than Hasbro went it comes to mucking with the business model,

Hasbro was extremely hands off for a long while. But then their toy lines fell apart and their board game revenue just became “How many times can we sell you the same box of Monopoly pieces?”

Suddenly WotC was their revenue stream, and the head managers decided they needed to apply their magic touch to the franchise.

I don’t really care, because D&D is more a style of playing than a product for sale. Sucks to see Faerun or Eberon cannibalized by these ghouls, but there’s just so much fucking material out there that’s never going away.

It’s just not a game you can ruin (and 4e fucking tried, let me tell you). Too much of it is bound up in what you and your friends bring to the table.

Looks like they… crossed the line.
