Balatro, Unicorn Overlord, and Factorio: Space Age all deserve mentions, too. 2024 was a great year for gaming.

I know there us Ukranian voice and its close enough to Russian that it doesn't matter for atmosphere, but it feels unnecessarily petty considering you know everyone who worked on the game probably spoke both.

I get pissed every time I launch Steam and "Chornobyl" is the first thing I see. It was "Chernobyl" for my entire damn life until this stupid game released and it will always be. Get fucked, revisionists. I don't care how petty this is, I refuse to play this game for this reason alone.

I really hope this meme format takes off.

34 men, 10 women

Several of the women nominated have worked with Trump for years. Linda McMahon was part of the first administration, Susie Wiles was his campaign manager twice, and Pam Bondi is his personal lawyer. Tulsi was on the campaign trail, and Noem supported him when it was politically dangerous to do so. Trump rewards loyalty. I don't know why this is surprising to people.

EDIT: I forgot to add that Karoline Leavitt was part of the 2016 administration, too.

Anorexia.

I heard someone call that lady "Black Voldemort" and now I can't un-see it.

I'll mention Snowpiercer since the movie adaptation is popular. That's the only nice thing I'll say about it, though.

I predict a punishment trip to the Holocaust museum in her future.

It's nice to see Balatro get some recognition.

I strongly recommend NHK's Nobunaga: King of Zippangu. If Shogun is supposed to be the story of Tokugawa Ieyasu, then this is basically the prequel.

More than 115,000 accounts deactivated on the day after the election, the most dropped accounts in a single day since Musk acquired the platform, according to data from Similarweb, a third-party company that tracks social media analytics, shared with NBC News this week.

The bot farm money stopped after the Election. Most of those accounts were probably astroturf.

Sony owns the engine used to make the Horizon games. This brings down development costs and increases Sony's profit per game. That's probably the real reason why they seem absolutely determined to make this franchise popular.

THANK YOU! I was already going to buy it cheap on Black Friday or Christmas because I plan to play the franchise next year. You just saved me some money.

Here's a summary of the Sandy Hook/Obama SSN theory:

EDIT: Can't copy and paste because of formatting issues. Here are some links:

The only thing I have to add to the comments is that there was an additional side theory going around involving Obama himself. Allegedly, there was some incriminating evidence in the CT state records about the man's true origins. Obama's handlers used Sandy Hook an excuse to push a CT state law that limited public access to the incriminating records. IIRC, the damning evidence was that he was illegally using CT resident's SSN. You have to remember that this happened during the peak "Obama is not American" years.

Back during Occupy Wall Street, the White trust fund kids camping out on a national bank's property told me with complete sincerity to go shoplift from the local grocery stores. I'm not even exaggerating. That was their platform—go steal from the grocery store. I know it's common now to associate shoplifting with viral videos of brown people swarming stores, but rich White Communists were very much encouraging this behavior for years.

Don't make me overdose on hopium.

I would like to add a fifth bullet point though: no posting photos for men

PSA: 5B, according to the /r/twoxchromosomes extremists, is "don't do business with male customer service workers, doctors, etc." So if you encounter some woman demanding to speak to a female employee, there's your reason.

I hate that I know this.

/r/twoxchromosomes has been a gold mine since Election Day.

• Lefty women claiming they're going to buy guns now. Good. More gun ownership makes it more difficult for the government to ban guns.

• Extremists socially isolating themselves via 4B, removing themselves from the dating pool, and sparing all of us their drama. Good. We all dodged a bullet, single men especially.

• Leftist women identifying themselves with blue bracelets. Good. Makes it easier to spot the crazies and avoid.

Putting on my tin foil hat, I wonder how many of these election-related "suicides" are glowies faking their deaths and bugging out before Trump is inaugurated.

The money artificially boosting Lefty influencers got pulled after the election. The lost subscribers were never real in the first place. Same situation with Kotaku's layoffs this week. The dark money propping up all of these nincompoops is gone.

I suspect most of the right-wing already knew this, but it's nice to have confirmation.

It turns out that the theater kids are annoying faggots in every culture.

I suspect the real reason they're dragging their feet on GTA 6 is because they know they can't be edgy anymore. Beating up prostitutes for cash used to be a funny joke and now that kind of thing will get your funding pulled.
