You are correct, it IS hot.

Finland is also a wonderful place to visit.
Let's face it: with how he played IRL in DK Mode, this sort of thing was going to happen eventually.
With how het up the Republicans are about bioessentialism they're just mad they have to put "pencil" down on Chuckie's death certificate.
Hell yeah. Glad you like it!
There's a French metal band that does circus dungeon music that I quite like. youtu.be/zWEVhQULUIg?...
This seems relevant.
oh no
Nothing new under the sun, really.
Oi

DROP AND RUN
Remember, God promised Noah that never again would He destroy the world by flood. Eschatological Christians ran with this by saying the next time it'll be _fire_.
aw hell yeah
Yeah. Take a few deep breaths and relax as best you can for a few. Treat it like a flu.
Wait. Does this mean I may be better in heels?
Either that or the opening mission to Brigador.
[inside the secret Geofront base of THE DARK CABAL OF SUSPICIOUSLY WEALTHY FURRIES:] "In other reports from Sector 7, Haus' transition proceeds apace--" "Her gender is irrel--" "--into an anthro artist." "Outstanding. It is as the Golden Path laid down by the Dead Sea Scrolls predicted."
Many such cases.
Eh, by all indications the power vacuum is already there as the Executive Branch has fragmented into desmenes with no meaningful overarching oversight or direction except when he has his baleful eye that way by some advisor that hasn't bored him yet.
Look, Trump is too much of a high school drama nerd at heart to NOT be fully cognizant of his mortality. He just sees it as an excuse for "après moi, le déluge" rather than coming to a Scrooge-like epiphany of the commonality of Man.
Good. Death to shit whiskey.
Exactly this. Vance doesn't have the sauce to hold the coalition together. Sure, Trump is just a grifter too, but Trump is a grifter with _will_ and _charisma_, the stick and carrot for keeping his back-knifing fascist lickspittles in line.
I mean, yes, actually. I'm starting to think there's enough elite names in the files irrespective of nominal ideology that it'll burn this country to the ground and we'll be better for it.
"This is a croque madame zone ONLY, sir. This is a monsieur-free area until the watershed, which is inexplicably some stochastically derived minute between ten and eleven."
If only I could make these things. Alas, the best I can do is throw ideas into the void for free.
(There is a Disaster Bisexual Golden Path where you somehow manage to finesse the entire platoon into a Band of Thebes combat polycule.)
Yeah, sorta like that, but with different mechanics. The evil GM in me does like the idea of leaning into VN/Mass Effect tropes to encourage players taking on dating sim options despite being told repeatedly in narrative it's a terrible idea.
[cont.] Leaving crap pilots on the benches makes them salty and just makes things worse. Over-relying on your good pilots wears them down and just makes things worse. Is this anything? /4 and fin
[cont.] Between missions you have to manage their (professional) relationships to you and others. Build trust, that sort of thing. Romance options are available but it's almost always a bad idea because it tends to build mistrust among other pilots who think you play favorites. /3
[cont.] A pilot who gets, say, caught in a fire will balk if incendiaries show up. Get someone shot up against a certain kind of opponent and they'll not listen the next time you tell them to charge in. /2
MechCommander-type game idea: it leans heavily into the combat manager sim in that you don't have direct control over the fight; you can tell your NPC pilots to do stuff, and that's it. You've got to keep an eye on them and manage their personalities and how they adapt to the campaign. /1
Give them time
If man is still alive, (Yes, I know, a decade too soon)

UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOI
...I suddenly want to hear an acapella version of "Detachable Penis" by King Missile.
Ah, the glorious era of Memphis Milano.
As is right and proper! How the hell did proper postmodern existentialist drama show up on AMERICAN prime-time network television?!
I... was not expecting a "Four Characters In Search Of An Exit" reference a quarter-century into the third millennium.
Aglet (galactical) "A game about tying knots." Frree - Browser: warpdoor.com/2025/08/16/a...
I'm doing better now.
Obligatory NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF.
Me earlier this week.
Huh! :D
The fish is okay tho
I'm just weirded out by the art style. It's an uncanny valley between "postwar rosy-cheeked naturalistic yet demonic children" and "hyper modern limited-animation cartoon mascot". It's a transitional species that somehow postdates both. An abomination of postmodernist contextual deconstruction.
The sour cream to stroganoff connection?
All the pointless marketing tie-ins, methinks.
I... needed this. Thank you.
not to ring post but i think about that all the time. the answer to what would you do is not to storm into valiant battle in a display of might but to offer a beleaguered stranger kindness, to protect a woman from violence, to realize and abandon one's complicity in the terrible way things are.
I will not hear this anti-plane prejudice.
A reminder.
It is interesting that what is hopefully the terminal stage of the First American Empire is making all U.S. iconography toxic. This is good, actually.
Easy, that's Jim.
Late 80s... everyone else says "fetish", I say "cocaine-fueled Good Idea Fairy visit"
"and now he has sweet-ass robot spider legs!"
It's weird seeing, unbidden, the commercials in your head when you have aphantasia.
Apple Sidra is indeed pretty good, even for a whole can. It never gets cloying.
Meh. Just seems to me that there's higher-value targets for learning important lessons right now so the whole Roan discourse smacks of irrelevancy.

In the same vein, Kamala could've changed /her/ tone to be more strident (y'know, like Obama 2008) and taken advantage of the excitement that appeared when Biden got kicked to the curb but +shrugs+ didn't happen and now everyone blames everybody except themselves and, oddly enough, Trump voters
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh she could have said nothing then the argument would be "she should have endorsed" she could have tactically endorsed then the argument would be "she should have meant it" there's no winning against policing tone
I mean, posting ENTERPRISE is just cheating. ;)
Except it's sadly true: look at how milquetoast mainstream Dem defenses of trans people were then and are now, and what little spittle is being raised now that the Supreme Court is going to continue on retracting rights. The DNC isn't actively HOSTILE but it doesn't CARE beyond fundraising.
See, I've worked for the military industrial complex and for a time was in the pipeline to go missileer. Herman Kahn logic runs grimly naturally in my brain. My soul is already forfeit.
Yeah. I've done my national duty and held my nose to vote straight Democrat for fifteen years now (2008 I was blinded like everybody to Obama's promise and hence did so willingly). At the same time I judge no one who treats a _genocide_ as a hard red line that shall never be crossed.
Also a notorious sense of humor, from all reports.
People have the right to exist; states and all the attendant pomp and crime surrounding them do not.
A fellow person of honour!
Hrm. Given the post later about the shorts-checker, I may have some bad news. :/
That all came from a history of being poorly served and there's no shame in it. My experience is not yours but sadly I can kinda get it by analogy. +offers comradely hugs+
Fanged God, dude.
Fuck, it's something that makes the worst kind of resistlib make that accusation NOW but the needle is shifting.
I suspect animal childhood is about shaking around goo and electrochemistry into a shape that readily generates abstractions on the fly and would guess this to be similar? Shake the actual architecture until it makes its own models that function well enough?
This is all the more reason to force STEMlords to actually take philosophy courses and be required to pass them. While we're at it, philosophy of science would do wonders for their clockwork orange brains.
For the LLM to know it HAS to build a world-model to make predictions would require it to KNOW that it needs to make predictions, but a thing can't KNOW a function without a world-model to abstract that function!
Coming back to this, it really pisses me off. Thinking that an LLM would HAVE to build a world-model to make predictions is teleological thinking that simply doesn't follow!
Did... did these fuckers never read a single book on ontology?
Fanged God, it's the Father Ted gag.
The APCs carry three foot platoons (9 tons total) Your general tactic is to keep near light woods and, when under fire, dive into them to dismount infantry which will then take half damage. If enemy forces try to dislodge them use the Skulker as a flanker.
2. This Heavy Tracked APC is your primary battle taxi. It can carry two platoons of foot infantry. 3. The SRM Heavy Tracked APC is your battle taxi with teeth.
Alrighty then. 1. Instead of an SRM Skulker, take a Medium Laser Packrat LRPV. Tiny bit less armor, just as mobile, exchanges an anemic Short Range Missile 4 for an SRM-6 and two medium lasers. Treat it like a short tank destroyer: spinal mount weapons, with all limitations that suggests.
Not a bad idea. Is there a limit on era (year), tech level, or proxying? I'm building ideas now.
Eww. SRM-2. I don't like the two-column on the cluster hits table. Seems an odd way to get someone into the game; 20-tonners are terribly restrictive in what they can do. I'll poke at things and see what I can come up with.
Oof, tonnage balance? That's rough. Not much in the way of competent combat vehicles at that mass. Or do the vehicles get a higher mass allowance?
I could think of mean things that can be done with airborne dragoons, especially with the buffs infantry get in the current ruleset. Vert-airlift GIs into woods and buildings near objectives while heavier tanks bait fire away from them. Combined arms can get really mean.
Intent is what makes art art.
"but Geoff you can't just ban everything" +points at seagull+ "ban this sick filth"
Yes, I dig that. The gag is that the UK is not exactly slow-rolling in this regard.
Slowly?
Yeah.
