damn you mean building our infrastructure in such a way that getting around absolutely fucking sucks yet is unavoidable ends up with people not wanting to do it once its proven it is, in fact, entirely avoidable 95% of the time?

never would have guessed..............

Deputy Police Chief Chris Davis told reporters that a white man in his 30s was shot and killed by police, who opened fire with a gun and weapons that fire non-lethal projectiles.

"killed by non-lethal projectiles" is a new one

i used to work as a cashier at a walmart and lemme tell ya i saw some shit

the most notable was the dude who like, definitely had something kinda grey in his hair, i could tell it wasn't actually hair though, but i had no idea what. was kinda wirey and stringy. maybe it was just greying, fraying hair, idk, the dude looked old enough for grey hairs

.......then the spider dropped down from his glasses and just hung out dangling from his face for a bit before climbing back up. the dude didn't react at all.

my man had a fuckin spider living in his hair what the fuck

like im not arachnophobic or anything i fuckin love insects, cute lil critters, but that is not a good house for a spider!!

YOOOO THIS IS MY TIME TO FUCKIN POST. hi him a huge fucking rhythm game nerd to the extreme

Basically, they just over-produced them, mostly with the single-artist spinoff titles. Rock Band: Green Day, Guitar Hero: Metallica, etc. Both RB and GH pumped out a new title mainline title annually, plus a shitton of spinoffs. The market for the single-band titles was tiny, obviously, you need a pretty specific music taste to want a version of GH that's only Aerosmith songs (or in the case of the DS spinoff titles, just unplayable due to the control scheme).

So like, GH3 in 2007 was the big name one. In 2008 and 2009, we got: GH4, GH5, GH:SH (basically a best-of of GH1/2/3), GH:Aerosmith, GH:Metallica, GH:Van Halen, GH:On Tour 1 2 and 3, Rock Band 2, RB:Beatles, RB:Green Day, and RB:Unplugged. No one gives a shit about any of those except GH4/5 and RB2. But, damnit, the games sell good, why are these spinoff titles not selling too?? Just make more, I'm sure we'll make the money back!!

People just stopped paying attention to the new releases after that because just, holy shit, no one's buying that many games for artists they don't care about. The publishers saw the profitability of the titles fall, without ever stopping to ask if they oversaturated the market, and stopped making them.

GH isn't dead, though. Grab any USB guitar, plug it into your computer, and head to https://clonehero.net/

People have gotten RIDICULOUSLY good over the last decade. Just. What the fuck. Like, the community is at the point now where the infamous Through The Fire And Flames is like, not interesting. That's not to say you can't get into the game without being absolutely godlike! There's a ton of charts for normal people. But holy shit the skillcap is just so far beyond what anyone thought was possible back in 2010.

And, hell, if Guitar Hero isn't your thing, the rhythm game scene in the west is growing again too. Some games you might wanna look into (and probably don't know about, since only DDR and GH/RB took off here) if you don't know about 'em: Beatmania IIDX, Sound Voltex, and Chunithm are all incredibly fun. Admittedly you either need to find an arcade that's got 'em, or buy a pricy controller for home play, but honestly, not like that's anything new, the full Rock Band kit was, what, $300 or something?

gg. actually no bg did u rly have to use the supply chain blocking cheese?? that + sanctions is op no skill strats. smh fuckin noob cant wait until they nerf that. reported.

im in canada tho is there an equivalent for canada that's not as fucking worthless and broken as the CPCML

The SOULS games are popular for being the hardest games ever produced

all i can feel is pain upon reading this sentence

Yeah. A lot of them also are like, basically just a closet, you can only stay in it for a month, don't even have a bathroom...

When the complaint is "the homeless people take up too much space" as it is here, giving them a "home" they can only bring a single garbage bag full of stuff to isn't an answer, especially when "buy back all the shit you had to throw out" is something they, by definition, can't do.

Invariably, people crying about the homeless just don't get the reality of the situation, once had some dude strung out of his mind on drugs - the only real way to temporarily escape the misery that is being homeless - act weird around them that one time.

found it, this clip here. 2:00 onward is like, the best summary of who sf is. the only good gamer.

sonicfox is arguably the best fighting game player at the moment - and is also extremely loud about being a black nb furry.

and i mean, what are the event organizers gonna do, just say "no stop that" to the star player? nah. so they kinda just do whatever and its fucking wonderful

its so much better with the video though

poor pewdiepie, begging for scraps of food or change outside the local corner store, his tens of millions of dollars obliterated and sent to the void the second he said The Gamer Word on stream...........

wait hang on

the gryphon looks like a friend and i would like to hug the friend thank you

this is clearly the correct take op

ad nauseum to fuck with any ads that slip past ublock origin

bitwarden b/c lastpass a fuck now

bypass paywalls and sponsorblock because fuck those things

panorama tab groups to quickly swap between 'do whatever' mode and school stuff

yeah but the fuckin next post though, the one just out of the screenshot, the one from the landlord fuck complaining about "we have the same anxieties"

lemme just. copy-paste a thing i sent in discord earlier today.

https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1374903132820492288?s=19 jesus christ dude shut the fuck up you're a huge part of the reason property in this town costs 5x what it should what the fuck do you mean you have the same anxieties as us. fuck you. the canadian retirement plan is literally just to buy a house then sell it for more than you paid once you retire and live off that, purely because our country's economy fucking sucks and neolib hell government refuses to do anything that could lower property prices -- and now you have the fucking nerve to say you "have the same anxieties" as the generation you priced out of being able to do that ever. fucking eat my dick.

bosa owns a shitton of condos and apartments here in vancouver, the city who's real estate market is so fucked up - because of shitbags like this - that iirc literally only hong kong is worse in terms of house-cost-to-average-salary. and this motherfucker thinks he has the same anxieties as me, who probably cant ever retire unless i move to assfuck nowhere and get hatecrimed for it, largely because of him

guillotines. fucking. when. :gui: :gui: :gui:

drawing a giant dick then power-sliding your boat directly into the shore, fucking up the world's economy in the process, is exactly the kind of power move i aspire to perform one day

same shit as always i guess

look at your riding, if your vote's needed to keep cons out of power then do it, otherwise idk ndp i guess even though they still kinda suck

as much as i hate voting lib, the social conservative wing is growing in power and theres absolutely no fuckin chance im risking someone who wants me dead being put into power, sorry. accelerationism is only cool when you're not one of the people being put in front of the accelerating train.

Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes: Although the first game does have condemnation towards Cloning and genetic engineering, and also has (albeit unintentionally) a pro-life/anti-abortion message due to Liquid Snake, when describing the process of the Les Enfants Terribles' creation, in particular its use of abortion to encourage fetal growth, explicitly labeling it as murder (although in that case, he attributed the act of murder more to himself and his brother Solid Snake, both byproducts of the project, than to the people actually responsible for the Super Baby Method), as well as promoting the concept of redemption to some extent, and also paints terrorism in an appropriately bad light, it at the same time is rife with anti-Americanism among both heroes and villains (although obviously not to the same extent as in later entries) as well as pushing an anti-nuclear and anti-war agenda, both of which seemed to focus more on America doing so than other countries, in particular Russia and China (specifically, the character Nastasha Romanenko, a member of NEST, spent most of her time condemning America for using nuclear weapons or even using nuclear power at all, and giving very little, if any criticism towards Russia and China for their having nukes, despite the fact that the event that caused her to hold a strong hatred for nukes, Chernobyl, having originated from within the Soviet bloc).

this is one sentence

dang hate it when that happens. truely unavoidable 😔
