Back in 2020 I said the response to the pandemic will mirror our response to climate change: ignore all evidence and pretend the status quo is fine to avoid the trivial costs of a real response in favor of maintaining short term gains

Probably a bad idea for your multiplayer game to relentless punish you for playing with other people (this is about Mon Hun Wilds, people you have to heal and block sometimes fuckin hell)

Also, the latest update is a gameplay Q&A from me, which gets into the rules system a little more.

a digital collage with a pink, purple, green, yellow, and teal gradient overlaid on all the images. the images include a horse carrying a bucket, a cluster of mushrooms, a grub, a birds talon, a cicada, five spiders, two flower buds, a hand with an eye over the back of it, and a microscope slide of atoms. there is white text that reads "get weirder or die miserable." the background is black and there is a slightly grainy texture

The very existence of commercially available glasses with Internet-connected cameras sold by Meta, a company built entirely on hiding the costs of services in negative privacy externalities, is an indictment of U.S. tech law and policy. This is an unfixable product from a fundamentally bad company.

I’m doing everything. What bugs me is that there is no difference between a successful run and a botched one.

Plus I hate chasing him in the first phase. And every time he’s down in the third phase he’s 2 miles away so he’s up and gone by the time I get there.

Glad you like it, but it is garbage

Fire the team who put this thing together. Ideally out of a cannon and into the sea, but I’ll take what I can get.

Possibly the worst thing in the game by a mile. Make one mistake? Fail. Play perfectly? Fail anyway.

I’ve beaten it a couple times. How? No idea. Success and failure seems to depend entirely on invisible factors far beyond the realm of whatever I’m doing. A miserable experience even in victory.

I think the main problem with the Democratic party is that they don't pay science fiction comic book writers ten million dollars per year

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Every comic I’ve ever drawn has taken a chunk of my health with it. Every cartoonist should be a millionaire for the amount of effort you have to put in.

The numbers are staggering:

Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters.

Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

"i signed up so i could get through college without bankrupting my parents" incorrect marine! You signed up so pete hegseth would cum in his dockers and see jesus when he gets airdropped a photo of your brains swapping place with a depleted uranium round. Snuff film extra, non-speaking. Oorah
