The Obama administration had a deal with Iran and relations were improving. The current Dem leadership can't even feign wanting to return to that baseline. They are just as pro-war with Iran as the republicans. Iran poses no threat to the US, it's just the same lies as with Afghanistan and Iraq.

A lot of people misinterpreted this because they thought "country" referred to the US. But what he's actually saying here, and is 100% correct about, is that the US president can indeed destroy any country with sanctions through executive order. Like in the past, and right now with Cuba etc

His words are backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS. ⚛️

it’s impossible to make a new good marathon game so it’s probably good they made something completely different. but whatever they made would have to give durandal evil ai voice acting and that kills it just not cool anymore

We're all a bundle of nerves waiting for Mike to finish Virtuoso. In the meantime, let's take a recent trip down memory lane to when Grubb was playing Sonic Blast. A perfectly fine game where there wasn't any funny business happening! youtu.be/GGr8ocLpuBA

Timothée Chalamet says he was dialed in while filming 'Dune 3' "[I felt that] the bat was red hot ... it was my last time doing a ‘Dune’ film, so I really wanted to treat it as sacred" He adds that it's both the eeriest and biggest swing of the trilogy (via Variety)

I’ve been trying a new thing with the zero bypass coffee brewer that’s been working really well. 25g of coffee, a 100g bloom for 60-90 sec, and then 310g of water with the drain set extremely slow. I shoot for a 5-6 minute brew time. It’s giving me really great flavor and better body than a pour.

Reb wants to ask KC or Lawrence people: any recommendations for the best cherry pie in either city?

Genuinely unnerving trailer for this upcoming stop-motion horror game. Just like the horror movies I'm interested in, I'm alternately excited and apprehensive to see what it's about!

Been sick today so I've been Mewgenicsing and boy, I had two runs in a row where one of my cats BLEW UP, no body or nuthin, just nuked to death lol. That's enough for today 🫠 maybe one day I'll get good but it's not today haha

Saved up enough Magic Arena wild cards to make a couple simple Brawl Decks and Standard already feels like a miserable grind in comparison.

CORRECTION. The promo for Discord Nitro for my CAPCOM Storefront was incorrect, I didn't realize it was for a previous year so that promotion is NOT available, so I've taken down the post. My apologies. I'll share any other promotions that ARE currently active or upcoming when they're available.👍

We don't talk enough about how good the voiceover is of the announcer in Pokemon Stadium on N64

The guide rules because it’s such early days for Nintendo’s American console operation. They just took the JP book and rewrote it, and where Japanese text appeared in screenshots they shrugged and put black tape over it

Do you love gambling? Come to GDC… It’ll be fine or you’ll do 6 weeks in prison. I am not normally a scare people into not traveling but the reasoning is so random and the treatment so horrible. Triple check everything and I guess dont help anyone pack.

Everything I’ve bought from loveramics has been banger. This new mug is so hefty and soft, might be my new go-to

This guy really looks like he should be terrorizing New York in a gritty 1970s cop movie

My good friend @mitchyd.bsky.social once told me that John Fetterman reminds him of the large goons in the Arkham City game who yell “IT’S DA BAT!!” when they’re about to get beat up by Batman and I laugh about this at least once a day.

Kodansha's K MANGA service has added Robico's To Dusk and Twilight manga in English.

I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed anything as much as Andrew’s downfall. Brits have known that he’s a prize prick for decades, to see him finally get his just desserts is a joy. Truly couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke.

Dug up some reading material to put myself in the proper mindset for today’s anniversary

Sometimes I imagine bodyswapping with someone who knows me, the dual shock of me remembering what it would feel like to be in a body that is healthy, whole, and relatively painfree.... and their reaction to the living hell of a million aches, infirmities, and agonies I've simply learned to ignore.

It's Zeggy's birthday today, and so I'll heartily recommend that you pick up their debut light novel, Infernulls: The Golden Letter, that was published late last year in e-book and paperback. If you're a fan of classic tropey fantasy anime such as Slayers, then you'll get a kick out of Infernulls.

I'm not saying this isn't worth doing, but let me share a bit of Black History for Black History Month. Believe me, this is the tip of the iceberg and insurance availability has been weaponized against us for so long it's more legislated than job and property discrimination combined.

I actually got warned off using the word "fascism" multiple times when writing the press copy for the game we're announcing in a few weeks, too! I ended up leaning in harder instead, to avoid any confusion Funding machines resist self-critique, the only way to avoid it is self-funding smaller art
