All I see is a sign explaining how to steal from the vending machine.

Conservatives think the only two possible roles for a father are distant or abusive. Love is probably "too woke" or something.

Trump's policies resulted in thousands of veterans with PTSD being denied treatment by the VA on account of lack of funding. If anyone deserves to suffer from it, he does.

It's a thing we all took for granted at the time, but I really miss menus. There's something much more complete and professional about the movie and bonus features being presented with an interface that fits the movie rather than the streaming service's generic devoid-of-personality UI.

“For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites,” Trump wrote. “It’s time we take a stand — together.”

Do people actually believe for a fraction of a second that Donald Trump of all people is on the side of the average American? And that the way to "take a stand" is with a crypto pump and dump scheme?

The headline really fucking buried the lede here. Texas is secretly compiling a list of trans residents for unknown reasons, we only know this because of a whistleblower.

While there's nothing wrong with a game being declared complete and stopping updates, the way this went down doesn't sit right. Evil Empire (the studio that split off from Motion Twin specifically to maintain Dead Cells) had longer-term plans and the resources to make them happen, but Motion Twin then ordered Evil Empire to stop development because they thought an actively developed Dead Cells would be a competitor to Windblown that they could preemptively kill off.

The irony is that without the warning to attempt to suppress discussion about that, people might have just forgotten about it.

Depends on what you mean by help. Yes, it would communicate the point better, but it's engagement bait, so the ambiguity is a feature rather than a bug.

There's also a recurring theme in all the interviews after release, they were very open about their biggest regret being how much content had to be cut from the original plans for the first game due to budget constraints. Some things were restored in the content packs afterward, but other things were too foundational to the game's overarching structure to make sense to be patched in after the fact. The Dreamer sanctums were going to be full fledged dungeons with a big climactic boss fight with each Dreamer, the Abyss was going to be an entire zone with multiple bosses rather than a plot only area, the Coliseum was going to be part of a much more involved sidequest, and there were several major zones that just didn't end up in the game at all. The result was still a great game, but a shadow of the absurdly ambitious project they envisioned starting out. I assume they're making Silksong with the intention of not leaving any "what might have been" things.
