Celeste is a wonderfully brutal game. I love the characters and the whole idea behind, "conquer a hard thing just to say I did it." To be fair, that is what it feels like when climbing mountains or other large rock structures

Plants vs Zombies is the best tower defense game out there. Y'all can fight me on that.

Haha, this is perfect. You encapsulated Shadowrun combat perfectly. How does the Darkness fair in the matrix is my question.

This is the correct answer

Did you know that Alfred Krupp, one of the guys responsible for the arms race that led to World War 1, absolutely loved the smell of horse manure? He loved it to a point where he built a house designed so he could always smell it. Wild stuff.

That always makes me think of this great moment from "Men In Black."

I'm glad at least someone on Lemmy is talking about what's been happening in Sudan. Too many of us are neglecting their plight, along with those in Ethiopia, The Ivory Coast, CAR and The DRC.

And here I was thinking the perfect comic didn't exist.

The "live, laugh, love" pillow is a nice touch. I wouldn't mind this kind of poltergeist in my house...as long as they make good design choices.

Uh... Chanukkah is the least important holiday on the calendar. A shitty thing for this guy to do, but the high holy days were months ago.

I still love playing Dead Cells. I'm planning on putting this on my wishlist for when it goes on sale. Hopefully there's co-op too.

I can understand why the government would want to do away with the colonial language. It's a reminder of a dark time. However, the decision of what the official language(s) should be can lead to some tricky politics. If one local language is elevated, it gives an advantage to those who grew up speaking it. This is especially hard for minority languages from indigenous peoples.

An example of this is in Botswana, where I'm currently living. The Tswana people came up from South Africa and displaced indigenous populations like the San and Herero. After independence in 1966 from being a British protectorate, they made English the official language and Setswana the national language. English is used in education and government, but everyone is also expected to learn Setswana to function in society. For those who didn't grow up speaking Setswana or who don't learn it, it's harder or impossible to get good healthcare or a good job.

Language politics can get really messy when there are lots of local languages. I worry about what might happen as a result of this decision.

My wife and I are caring for our 2 month old daughter, and this just scared me a bunch. We're not using formula from the company in question, but the fact that this happens is terrifying.
