I’m not European, but from what I’ve seen, there’s a lot of media coverage. You can’t spend 2 seconds on the mainstream music side of the internet without hearing something from the contest.

We have the technology.

I’m cutting the original storyline of Five Nights at Freddy’s off at the third game and removing Afton’s weird implied Pamela-Voorhees-meets-Gendo-Ikari motivation for his murders; he kills for a feeling of power and punishment. As much as I like the sci-fi elements, they utterly ruin his character. I’d also remove 3’s cutscene of him coming back: he’s dead, and he stays dead.

However, I do believe there would be room for sequels after that. I think it could be neat to have games skipping straight to the Vanny story and making her an actual developed villain as well as a real copycat killer, perhaps even starting a small cult of sorts around the Fazbear brand and Afton’s legacy.

Yes, though I doubt enough to fully understand the appeal. I think I may just hate vehicle controls in any game ever made.

The answer is that no one at WotC knows what D&D is supposed to be at this point, so the setting went through 20 years sailing with the Ship of Theseus, with a captain whose sole focus seemed to be fantasising about dark elf matriarchs dominating him. In the middle of that, the game’s Fourth Edition came as a messianic figure from the sky in both mechanics and setting, and was fittingly crucified, continuing the ever-expanding clusterfuck generously called the Forgotten Realms.

Outer Wilds.

A bit more concerned now that the US is resuming nuclear tests.

To be honest, the idea of nuclear weapons ever being used again is far scarier to me than WW3 in general.

You’re half right. Andrew Wakefield, the father of modern anti-vaccine sentiment, wrote a bogus study with horrible methodology against the MMR vaccine due to a desire to sell separate alternative measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines. Brian Deer explains it best in his 2004 documentary “MMR: What They Didn’t Tell You”.

That one Reddit post about George W Bush being a werewolf.

that headline brilliantly conveys the absurdity of the situation

i’m like half sure i saw the same caption on another platform (either tumblr or threads)

“Social credit” was straight up never a policy that happened on any national level in China. There were some city-level attempts at a similar system, but they were condemned by the government.

Planescape: Torment had the “intellectual pleasure” brothels, boosting your Intelligence.

all my attempts at some portmanteau of charlie kirk and cum have failed so far

I wonder if there’s an exact definition of “round”, and if the Earth matches it. I mean, plenty of bumps in this sphere.

If I remember correctly, the PLO only adopted a two-state ideology in 1993.

So many times I’ve seen Zionists argue against this. Wonder how they’re gonna try to salvage it now?

Yep, it and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! The first PG-13 movie was Red Dawn, which would probably be R today.

Never seen or read it, but am in the middle of Blood Meridian from the same author… Yeah, I get it.

If you know about how Pennywise works, this is really funny.
