Call me "Thorn", it's not my name but it suffices. I write and make games sometimes, and I'll probably be dead by thirty.
Combo meter ranks from Hetzer, an arcade endless survival game with shitpost elements made in @gdevelop.bsky.social's GDevelop 5 engine.

I was inspired by Pizza Tower for these, and even moreso by Pizza Tower joke mods like Pinolino Adventure and greg.

The comedy/satire aspect of Helldivers 2 really seems like a swing and a miss to me NGL

Like the joke is that Super Earth are tyrannical and incompetent... but their opponents are all blatantly evil and murder civvies at the drop of a hat, and the Helldivers themselves are all one-man armies

I think Star Trek endures because it encompasses all of the fundamental storytelling archetypes: Man vs man. Man vs self. Man vs computer. Man vs sexy lady. Man vs cave. Man vs God. Man vs lizard. Man vs tribunal. Man vs Abraham Lincoln. Man vs ghost. Man vs boss. Man vs doctor. Man vs rock. Man vs

maybe it's just cuz I reflexively shit on smug people but nah, civilisation will make it in some form. we've got resources and space to expand to. population and living standards will decline but there's a country level-headed and determied enough to stay afloat and it's uh. oh. uh. well then.

me normally: fuck me, Europe. what a terminally cucked continent. we're all so fucked. no one recognises the basically lifethreatening systemic threats to our democracy that we are surrounded by. everyone's granny is a violent racist. it is all so shit

What Americans don't understand is 'crassly forgetting Northern Ireland' is a core part of British culture, like cueing and only being able to communicate via laconic understatement.
No. No. It's absurd enough to think this for Americans, but fucking Brits!? Do you not know your own history!? Part of the country was in a civil war!

"The Deep Space Fleet".

Advance Striking Force (Krenik) over Mastocal, Summer 2266.

The Advance Striking Force represented the vanguard of the Klingon Naval Fronts: composed of a mix of battleships, cruisers and destroyers,its role was to eliminate minor opposition ahead of the battle line.

This is not to say that American government *isn't* a clear and present danger to all of its citizens and to world peace as a whole, of course.
My fucking god am I sick of the American doomposters insisting the GOP has a master plan.

The American far right has big tech and the press backing them to the hilt, basically controls the conversation, and has utterly incompetent opposition. If they had an actual game plan we'd all be dead by now.

pickup trucks for the average person should not have been allowed to advance past this. if you need anything bigger, you should have to provide some kind of documentation showing you have the license and need for special heavy machinery, otherwise you get the 1990 toyota hilux

The loading-the-dishwasher struggle is real. Even—or especially—for the $20,000 1X Neo humanoid home robot.

How I feel looking at the DS9 fleet shots thinking "Why are these ships in a deathstack and not arranged into multiple formations over a wider area?"
