  • SpaceX's Starship blows up ahead of 10th test flight

  • What long weekend? Their asswipe of a boss doesn't believe in anything but the 80-hour workweek for employees, and there's no way he's not demanding more overtime to rebuild after this fuck-up.

  • What's next, leaded gas?

    Actually, probably. It's a good way to make people grow up dumber and more irrational, and that's basically the target demographic of their party.

  • With a couple of small changes, Send the Marines can be updated for 2025 standards.

    What with President TACO practicing escalato on the Los AngelesAnd then the ICE-est Crisis on top of thatIt has been a nervous yearAnd people have begun to feel like a Christian Scientist with appendicitis

    Fortunately, in times of crisis like thisAmerica always has its number one instrument of diplomacy to fall back onHere's a song about it

    When someone makes a moveOf which we don't approveWho is it that always intervenes?U.N. and O.A.SThey have their place, I guessBut first - send the Marines

    We'll send them all we've gotJohn Wayne and Randolph ScottRemember those exciting fighting scenes?To the shores of TripoliBut not to MississippoliWhat do we do? We send the Marines!

    For might makes rightAnd till they've seen the lightThey've got to be protectedAll their rights respectedSo somebody we dislike can stay elected

    Members of the corpsAll hate the thought of warThey'd rather kill them off by peaceful meansStop calling it aggression

    Ooh, we hate that expression!We only want the world to knowThat we support the status quoThey love us everywhere we goSo when in doubtSend the Marines!

  • The good old dehu-Manosphere. Malignant, cancerous trash run by grifters and signal boosted by insecure mysognists.

    Edit: I see we have some fans of Joe Rogaine, Jordan Small-Peterson, and or Andrew T-hate on here.

  • Trump orders ICE vengeance on ‘No Kings’ protest cities

  • Preventing admission of anyone who undermines the domestic tranquility of the United States.

    Any reasonable interpretation of this means that he just gave the order to keep himself from returning.

    It would have been easier to just say:

    "That's coming with the update that adds Call of Duty and Fortnite into the game."

  • This means either them or more junior developers will be brought in as glorified prompt engineers.

    Oh, sweet summer child. It's not going to be junior developers; they still have self-worth. An un(der)paid intern or outsourced contractors, however? They're fine working for scraps and no health insurance.

  • Friends say Minnesota shooting suspect was deeply religious and conservative

    Jump

  • the Christian Right just doesn’t understand the religious text they claim to follow.

    A less generous interpretation is that they do but don't care about the parts they disagree with. There's a lot of cherry picking going on with them, and that totally tracks with being the world's #4 exporter of cherries.

  • A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?

    Jump

  • To be fair to Ubisoft, the newest Prince of Persia game was a great metroidvania game.

    To be fair-er to Ubisoft, they can go fuck themselves for closing down the studio that made said game only a few months later.

    They can make good games. They just clearly would rather rehash the same tired formula that they've been running with for the past decade while unreasonably expecting to make more money each time.

  • "No Kings Day" protests turn out millions, rebuking Trump | Our unofficial estimate is that around 4-6 million people attended a protest event yesterday. Anti-Trump resistance is outpacing 2017.

  • Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your preferred mode of sitting on your ass and doing nothing.

    Justification:

    I don't live in the States.

    Result:

    sitting on your ass and doing nothing [while complaining online about how other people are not doing enough]

  • Happy Birthday, Dickhead.

    Jump

  • no proper news outlet is reporting that.

    And they probably won't. The best we'll get is watered-down slop or misreporting that frames the movement as small and unimportant.

    It's not in the interests of corporate media to accurately report on protests against the Trump administration. It might make some ad money in the short term, but it's antithetical to the goals of both the owners and the corporations to piss off Trump:

    1. Republicans benefit the wealthy and corporations and they don't bite the hand that feeds.
    2. The Trump administration has proven itself happy to retaliate against reporters and news agencies by banning them from press events.
    3. The billionaires who own them don't want to anger the guy they're buying favors from.

    Edit:

    The AP certainly didn't choose to publish many photos that show off the actual scale of the protests: https://apnews.com/photo-gallery/no-kings-protest-trump-us-b5de52994b7c592034fb19b7d3e9d577

  • ICE AGENT FLED FROM ANGRY RESIDENTS OUTSIDE NEW YORK SCHOOL — AND GOT IN A CAR CRASH

    Jump

  • Yes.

    I'm not at all surprised they did it, though. What's yet another little law when their entire day job involves breaking them?

  • What people miss about Steam Deck's "loss" to Nintendo

    Jump

  • Ok, now suppose you want to release a game for any of the modern Nintendo consoles.

    You need to get a devkit. To get it, you need Nintendo to approve your request, and you need to pay them for a license to use the devkit hardware. And, to actually use the devkit, you need a PC running Windows.

    Sure, to develop a game for PC, you need a PC. But do you know what you don't need on top of that? A devkit and a Windows license.

    Edit: Two downvotes in two minutes? Oh my, the sockpuppets are angry today.

  • Corpos are skilled at wringing any and all interesting bits out of something and reducing it to harmless, overdone slop that still sells. They don't take risks because that may make them $5 less. But indies do.

    I'm still amazed at how Gearbox managed to royally fuck up Risk of Rain 2. They had a great game with solid foundations handed to them, and they somehow managed to both regress the game logic into being tied to framerate and release a buggy mess of a DLC in one fell swoop.

  • It's not that they're allergic to money but rather the inflated sense of self-importance and ego. To rightsholders and executives, it's unthinkable that fans could come up with something better and profitable using the intellectual property that they earned (read: bought) fair and square. And if someone somehow did, it's a threat to the bottom line, not something to embrace and encourage.
