One of the few games that makes me jealous of PS5 owners. Sony is getting their Super Mario Odyssey and I want it on my PC 😭

Glad they still left Frank lookin like a caveman

i can’t speak to all of the monoliths that have been erected. but this one seems unusual because it was “near Gass Peak in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge” (not a location that is easily accessible by car) and it was “made of folded sheet metal and held together with rebar and concrete, authorities said.”

That sounds heavier than one or two people could just carry on their own, but maybe I’m overestimating that.

probably true for a lot of people. i think the joke in this comic is that many of us grow to appreciate the little things more as we grow older, and that leads us to being excited about things that our younger selves would have characterized as “boring”. It’s the same as rewatching a movie you thought was boring when you were 20, and discovering that it’s now your favorite movie ever.

The accusation from two former Twitch employees, as posted on Twitter, was:

He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product. He was trying to meet up with her at TwitchCon. The powers that be could read in plain text.

Beahm’s direct response to that specific allegation is:

Were there twitch whisper messages with an individual minor back in 2017? The answer is yes. Were there real intentions behind these messages, the answer is absolutely not. These were casual, mutual conversations that sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate, but nothing more.

So the detail of “sexting” is “in dispute” in the sense that the predator denies the allegations, but predators always deny allegations. And the fact that his formal denial still included details like “sometimes leaned too much in the direction of being inappropriate” is really sus.

So to me, saying “we don’t know if it was sexting, all we know for sure is that inappropriate messages were sent” has the same energy as saying “no criminal charges have ever been brought against me”. We don’t need photo evidence to know he was a creep.

If you’re just catching up on this news now: Twitch dropped him because they found Twitch DMs where he was sexting a minor and discussing plans to meet up with said minor at TwitchCon.

my partner refers to all pasta as “spaghetti” and it drives me up a wall

aha i can be stickler for clear definitions as well, but I was just shitposting

it’s the car manufacturers that piss me off on this. Why is the license timed? Why isn’t it licensed on a “per game release” basis? What does Toyota lose if the 94 Celica is still driveable in a dead racing game from 10 years ago? It’s clearly a case of game devs having to acquiesce to the demands of stakeholders that don’t understand video games.

Christ, well that’s not surprising, but that doesn’t make it any less horrific. As you mentioned several times in the quotes, the UN is meeting with the Taliban this Sunday to discuss Afghanistan as a whole, and the Taliban has demanded that no Afghani women be present for this meeting. This report really calls into question the point of the meeting. If the Taliban are treating Afghani women this way, and the Taliban deny that they are even arresting women for “bad hijab”, then what is there to even talk about?

You wouldn’t call a burrito a dürüm, would you?

Is a dürüm not a type of burrito? sure looks like it to me…

Does “bullshit the Lord” work better?

The World Tour!!

you just described my workday

I won’t dispute it, I just recognized the spot from my time with Ruby!

To my knowledge, Denver is one of those cities that is exploding in popularity, so you might find that your rent increases year-over-year faster than you like. I have not lived there, so take my advice on it with a grain of salt.

For my part, I will say that Minneapolis is a great (and affordable) place to be queer!

At this point, it might end up being a cross-gen/launch game for the next Switch.

Ugh so grim. This genocide just keeps on rolling and it feels like no one can do anything about it

Context: Justin Timberlake arrested, charged with DWI in the Hamptons.

i bring it up because there was a discussion at some point about whether beehaw as a whole should allow bots. I think the agreement was that some users still find them helpful. I’m just questioning if that is still the case, as the summary doesn’t strike me as particularly useful. But if others disagree, then i have no beef with it.
