I don't really get why society won't grant me a living in exchange for me spending most of my time making sure cats are happy. There are a lot of cats out there, many are not getting the love they need and everyone us generally really happy to find out that cats are having fun. Give me a Cat Ranch. With sufficient funding and space I could totally keep ar least 20 cats absolutely stoked all day every day. Throw in a ranch hand and that could go up to 60. Six people could for sure keep a solid 150 or so cats in barracks and ready for war. Its too bad being a witch isn't really a thing cause my affinity for cats really seems to come in handy there. Im pretty good at cackling too.

Has any 3d game ever done dream logic for geography well? Like you turn a corner outside and then you're in a building and while a certain place may lead to another consistently there is no real world logic behind it? Like the hall leads to a bathroom and if you open he shower curtain theres an desert behind it kinda thing? Games seem uniquely able to do that. I hafe a recurring dreamscape that as long as what loaded when you did what didn't make irl sense I could probably make navigable in a game if the player got used to the nonsense geography. Ive seen games that go way too far with it and may as well be or are procedurally generated. Aside from specific set pieces in games I've never really seen that kind of spatial dreamscape thing and it would be sick if brought togerher well. I wanna feel like Cooper at rhe end of twin peaks season 2

that's our (humanity's) secret, officer....we're all crashouts

(i breka down weeping in the starbucks while imagingin i am becoming the increidble hualk)

Wild that I live in the country of both a) lots of people carrying guns and b) lots of people setting off random fireworks it really seems like a winning combination

which way, western they?? (pull out my heart and feed it to the megathread, or go to badposting and make a "lenin my goat" spampost????????)

My wealthy gusano relatives told me they aren’t bothered by the BBB because the economy couldn’t afford to take care of people who didn’t work and expected the state to take care of them.

They also aren’t afraid of getting deported because they’re wealthy and even if they do they can just live in a nicely gentrified part of Guatemala City.

My disgust for these people never reaches a limit. They’re the side of my family that sided with the fascists during the civil war and only left because they wanted to make more money in America.

the Big Beautiful Working Class (who needs to mercilessly devour the bourgeoisie: for the sake of our friends, siblings, lovers, parents, children, children's children, our comrades we'll never meet who live a globe away, their children & parents & friends & lovers, the memories (or even spirits if you conceive of realoity like that) of our past comrades & their friends, siblings, lovers, parents, children.

( ahem um, devour them as in politically - bloodlessly & non-literally, like a big old peaceful general strike that goes "boo!" and scares the mean ol' industrialists so much they hand over the reins of power. yeah.)

Woke up this afternoon, learned that basically every societal problem is about to start getting worse faster than it was before, just another day in what I hope will be referred to by historians as the late Amerikkkan empire.

Professor E. Gadd be like "Luiiigi, ikeh-ikeh, sookoo sookoo"

What if instead of melodrama it was fellowdrama and it was just for the boys

Pulled a muscle in my leg doing my physical therapy exercises lmao

Good Lord, if that neighborhood had an HOA, Phineas and Ferb wouldn't be able to do shit.

Vania should be stricken from metroidvania im replaying them, I liked them as a kid and they were the first ones I got into but now vastly vastly prefer the old school ones.

They are just throwing everything at the wall. The shambolic castle design and poor signposting as well as lack of map references for why you were stuck at whatever dead end. Metroid showed when a red door was red on the damn map. The exp system and short range weapons combine to make backtracking fucking suck and you'll need to do a lot of it. The dead ends are just dead ends cause most of the time the reward you get is useless to you aside from sale value to restock on potions. Instead of potions you could just have more health or not need to tank as many hits. Cause youre gonna blast through those potions trying to backtrack through hallways of unskippable enemies thar respawn every time you leave the room or giant open areas with small damage but hard to avoid enemies that fuck up your jumps and whittle you down for the next hallway. So you just tank hits going from save point to save point between dead ends until you need to warp back to the first area to buy potions and start your random search from the closest warp room to where the last unexplored dead end was. Im finding this really frustrating with dawn of sorrow as well cause after you can double jump you can dive kick flying enemies and bounce off which gives height and restores your second jump. My sequence breaks have yielded me a weapon im not gonna use, armor that i already have on and a full magic restore and magic restores itself by not using it. The souls of enemies being random ability drops is another thing that's cool in concept but falls apart in execution cause your starting souls are fucoing stupid. Instead of one of each type where one is pretty useless and the other is just a stat bonus the starting ones should have been equivalents to the classic subweapons. I didn't get any souls that attack upwards and am sick of using heavy swords for the arc when id rather use an equivalent to the age and id rather not grind axe knights to do so.

Well, the move is done, that was the shittiest apartment i’ve been in so far

this timeline is fucked i need to find the right way to nihilistically crashout we could've had something beautiful but isntead we live on nazi-earth

My partner is finally starting to become political and it feels like I'm radicalizing all over again since we're rehashing things that radicalized me as well as the big beautiful bill shit. I honestly forgot how much physic damage you take when you fully internalize the evil that is the US government and its supporters. It is not an easy process and watching them go through it feels bad. Watching them fully realize that various friends and family members are just fully demons who wish to watch the poor and vulnerable suffer is causing them great pain. I'm glad I'm here to remind them that no, they aren't crazy and that these people are genuinely evil.

I'm like a month behind on twitch vids but quitting might be the example I need to kick it myself. I'd miss the topic-specific news and a couple fun subreddits, but the psychic benefits would be great. I hope he keeps it up

Amiibos both being allowed in speed runs and a part of the any% world record route is so annoying lol

Heyo,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask (first comment in this negathread, I think, I'm mostly a newshead), but I've been getting into more debates about economic systems recently and I often get hit with the argument that "Czechia, Slovakia, Poland are all much better off than during socialism and even if income inequality rose in that time, general wealth levels rose by so much that practically everyone is better off".

Would anyone have pointers to some books/articles, explaining the processes and events surrounding the fall of communism, with a particular focus on these western parts of the USSR? I've read Blackshirts and Reds(referring to the Market Paradise chapters here),, unfortunately that book isn't sourced well and it expects you to already be aligned with its way of thinking. The people I end up arguing with usually hold very opposing opinions.

express scripts has my adhd meds in stock but because my pharmacy insurance is a competitor to express scripts i cannot use express scripts and my insurance's mail-service pharmacy does not have my meds but will get them in the third week of july so if i send a script to them i get the honor of being allowed on their waitlist and and and an

Put off buying new insoles because i thought I could wait until there's a sale

Turns out I couldn't and now I have sore feet, worse circulation, and im like a weekish away from getting some relief

And I paid full price

Stop procrastinating reading, me...

Does Trump have a petty beef with the Smithsonian? Why did they sneak moving the space shuttle out of the air and space museum into the budget bill.
