It wasn't that bad of a watch imo (barring the fact that it needs a massive CW for SA), and it gets a bit silly in the

spoilerpost-apocalypse where apparently children speak some new wasteland slang instead of normal english despite going to school

The hogs will contort themselves into pretzels to support whatever Trump does because their entire ideology is centered on Trump specifically.

Look, I just want the war to be balanced so that both sides have a chance, and at this point that means giving Iran a gundam.

Assuming those numbers are true, then that justifies foreign intervention into the US to stop them invading another country.

Ignoring entirely the most obvious conclusion that it's because Israel is a "western" ally and is being directly and publicly supported by the US, which is the global cultural and military hegemon. Therefore people in the US and its allies are more aware of Israeli crimes compared to other countries. If other ethnic cleansings received the same amount of media coverage and had the same US backing, I'm willing to bet they would also lead to support by "the left".

B-but I was told they definitely wouldn't just take the money and run? fell-for-it-again

I use musicbee and grab bootleg premium feeds from jumble.top.

Can't stop playing Warframe. Just missing Yareli Prime and then some prime weapons and I won't need to run relics for another 3 months.

Haven't seen that, but there was a lot of reporting in I want to say 2022 about how the "inflation due to COVID" was, on average, 60% just price gouging, so I wouldn't doubt it.

Hmm, do I pay for a service that has ads, or do I simply pirate-jammin? It is impossible to make this decision.

Also the political terror enacted by the KKK in the south post-reconstruction. This shit is as american as it gets.

It's soooooo good, and imo it just keeps getting better, though there's a bit of a tone shift around Book 3/4.

 

If you click the "Request Invite" button on the storepage, you instantly get one.

Performance is dogshit for me, 30-ish FPS on all lowest settings (with DLSS off). Water doesn't even render.

The whole "disrupting packs with dung bombs" mechanic is also pretty lame imo; every couple minutes the monster leaves to go rejoin the pack and you have to do it again.

Undecided on the wound mechanic because I only did the first two hunts. Optimistically, this could be like the clutch claw but actually good.

 

The relationship between doing infinite damage and being able to see is dialectical.

 

So my old wireless Xbox 360 controller is kind of on its last legs, bad stick drift, thumbstick rubber starting to rub off, and I'm looking for a replacement. Would gladly just buy another 360 controller but they haven't made them in years.

Got an 8bitdo Ultimate earlier this year and it has not lasted. Out of the box, the thumbsticks started losing sensitivity in one or two directions after a few hours of play, but I could get around this by messing with the deadzones in the software. Not an ideal solution, since it lowered the resolution, but it worked.

But now it's got new and exciting problems that I can't work around. Sometimes the B button won't register at all. Sometimes the A button will press on its own. And my favorite, sometimes the entire controller just freezes and won't accept any input for seconds at a time.

I had a coworker recommend a GuliKit but the face buttons are backward and that's enough to put me off it.

Any advice?

Honestly doesn't seem like my thing but a neat enough concept that I thought I'd post it here.

Also somebody in the comments mentioned that the itch.io bundle for trans youth earlier this year had this game.

 

Now to spend the rest of eternity painting them. Going Oops! All Aspect Warriors (plus some warlocks/farseers, purely because the models were cool). Mostly 3rd party, though the Striking Scorpions are GW because they were on sale (though where the FUCK is Karandras, GW)? The minis missing arms are the exarchs, as I'm going to magnetize all their options.

Timed the third party order pretty badly considering I missed the refresh on Swooping Hawks and Fire Dragons by like 2 months lmao. Though that said, the 3rd party models are a bit cheaper (~$100 for 10 Warriors + Exarch + Phoenix Lord, compared to $170 for GW), and it's really easy to repose resin models with a heat gun. Also, while I'm not sure if the other Aspects are/will be the same, I'm not a fan of how the torsos and legs are all locked together for the Scorpions, as it means that both my Exarchs will have identical poses...

Bonus Psychic Space Lenin in the back.

 

Was browsing the modlog and noticed this

It's good. Here's hoping Goodbye, Eri gets an adaptation some day.

 

He's smokin' entry plug, he's on that LCL.

He's got 4 knives

Stupid sexy Eva

*sort of, not a gundam but it's a kit by bandai so... sans-shrug

As someone coming at this from 40k, honestly pretty impressed with the kit. All snap-fit, with full articulation? Multi-colored sprues? Hell yeah, let's go. Really need some finer grade sandpaper; I had to make do with just a glass file which is a bit too block for some parts (and doesn't work at all for the metallic parts because it makes them way too shiny).

Only a couple things went wrong during building. The right metallic pectoral cover is loose for some unknown reason (I may have filed down a ball-joint too much?), and the left purple bicep cover doesn't rotate which means the rest of the arm likes to pop off if I'm not careful. There's a noticeable gap on the fingers in the left hand on the first image, and I don't know why since there were no sprue connections ono the surfaces that connect to each other.

Might put on some more of the stickers but the one on the entry plug is already peeling so idk it might be wasted effort. Also the kit came with two spare knuckle covers that I don't see a use for in the instructions.

Full kit name is "RG ARTIFICIAL HUMAN EVANGELION UNIT-01"

 

Finally finished the whole group! From left to right: Inquisitor Coteaz, Interrogator, Sister of Battle, Scrollboi, Feral Worlder, Mystic, Servitor, Booksy the Book Skull, Joe Krabo, and "Daemonhost".

I'd painted up Coteaz years ago (and it's good I did because his new model sucks lol). Eventually they'll all be based in the same style as Coteaz but the texture paint I use is all dried up.

Close-ups of individual models in comments.

 

Everybody knows that the american civic religion places a lot of emphasis on our "democracy" as it exists, so we should set up something that will let people in the politics fandom get all of the excitement out of their system without actually getting in the way of important governing decisions.

The actual elections will be on entirely separate dates with minimal fanfare. The show elections will have the non-stop campaigning and press events everyone's used to, but nobody elected will have any political power. On MSM talkshows and the like, they'll only be allowed to talk about things happening on the fake side of things. Mentioning real politics will carry a penalty of having to sort rocks in a quarry (or similar task in regions lacking sufficient rocks) for 1 hour per time mentioned.

In terms of subjects, they can argue over whether we're abolishing the value form too quickly or too slowly, or if outdoor cats should be legal. They'll constantly go on about national unity and how we're too divided while agreeing about 99% of things.

 

Paint now has built-in AI image bullshit.

Death to Microsoft.

 

TFW you're halfway through converting and painting a miniature when its rules are removed from the game boohoo. Oh well, now it's a tech priest proxy.

It has parts from 5 minis, bonus points to anyone who can guess them.
