You can sprint and slide like in other action games but you can make the horse slide too.

Had a Marathon run tonight where we killed every other team on the map.

How could the democrats have lost to Donald Trump, it is a mystery, clearly purity politics from the left

I get the feeling there are probably a lot of fans of things like Blue Prince, Outer Wilds, or even The Witness out there who haven't played Myst yet

They really, really should

All of them: "Yes but surely it will never be *me* who is shoved into the Trump Buzzsaw."

Also the male loneliness epidemic is absolutely fake. Self-imposed misery. If you listen to dipshits like Andrew Tate and the rest of those dorks online, you are actively ruining your own life.

My wife and I are constantly having the "men are trash" conversation as we hear stories from friends about trying to date men. It's genuinely mind-blowing. Like, do a dish, wash your ass, and treat the other person like a human and not your mom-maid, and that's it! You have defeated every man.

Trying desperately to see ANY bright side -- it's never been a better time to be a decent hetero guy who wants a full partner and knows how to do his own laundry and actively likes women as people.

My hot take is we should stop making realistic looking modern military games

would be cool if this was the average demeanor of a democratic senator while talking to gop flunkies instead of a gop senator on his way out the door

Yesterday, The Sheriffs, MPD and law enforcement brutally put down a peaceful anti-ICE protest outside of the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis.

There has been little to no coverage of what is happening in Minneapolis since Trump's supposed stand down, which is why we need to spread the word.

Help me, a lifelong Rangers fan disgusted by the behavior of the US Men's Team and the organization at large, raise money for the National Immigration Law Center by auctioning off two collectible jerseys.

I can ship them to you, donate them, whatever works!

Before you cape...we are years away from the presidential election and still 8 months away from the Maine senate election.

Basically, yeah, with the addition that I think people tromp around the maps, shooting robots and generally being loud, when what you need to do is be observant and cautious so you can completely ambush people when you find them.

My sense on Marathon is a lot of people don't like it because they want to play it like Arc Raiders but they should be playing it like Hunt Showdown.

funniest part of Resident Evil Requiem is when Leon examines a photograph of like ten normal doctors and The Most Evil Guy You've Ever Seenℒ️

Village was kind of the same thing and I think this is the last time Capcom can get away with this. But I also think Requiem is positioned as something of a capstone on the last 10 years of RE, and in that way, it works.

Resident Evil Requiem Review - Two-Headed Mutant With Requiem, Capcom refines its Resident Evil formula to its best parts, but it sometimes relies too much on past triumphs.

Oh yeah I reviewed Resident Evil Requiem. It's an inelegant solution to the problem of bridging the series' two major gameplay identities, honing the good things about RE to a sharp edge while offering little to push forward. But it's spooky and a lot of fun. www.gamespot.com/reviews/resi...

It sucks but spoilers are probably the thing gamers care most about in the world.

NEW YORK (AP) β€” New York City police are investigating after officers were pelted with snowballs while responding to a massive snowball fight at Washington Square Park in Manhattan.

A video of the fracas shows two uniformed officers pacing a walkway in the park Monday as snowballs fly at them from all directions, hitting the officers and covering them in snow.

The officers, growing visibly frustrated, shoved at least two people to the ground as snowballs continued to whizz by. At one point, a person runs up behind an officer and mushes some snow onto his head. One of the officers can be seen rubbing his eye toward the end of the video.

In a statement Tuesday, the New York Police Department said multiple uniformed officers were struck in the face with snowballs and were β€œremoved by EMS in stable condition” to a nearby hospital, but did not disclose additional information on their injuries.

Jessica Tisch, the city’s police commissioner, called the behavior β€œdisgraceful” and β€œcriminal” and said the department is investigating. Police have released images of two people the department is searching for in connection with the incident, asking for the public’s help to identify them.

NYPD officers also had their shoelaces tied together, their pants pulled down revealing boxers with hearts on them, and one was seriously injured when he attempted to run through a tunnel which a vicious criminal appeared to have painted on a wall
