Nostalgia is when you say an old game is better than a new game. Even if you played the old game just a few months ago, or even if you played the old game *after* you played the new game.

“The fight lives on,” says guy who never fights (unless it’s bombing starving children amid rubble)
CNN: Was the shutdown worth it?

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: We have waged a battle on behalf of the American people.

CNN: But you didn't get what you want.

JEFFRIES: At the end of the day, the fight lives on.

Was 9 when this happened and this might have been one of my first times understanding that, outside of the "dirty cop" trope, law enforcement does have the capacity to hurt or kill innocent children
Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

My gambit to allow my daughter to play Super Mario Jamboree seems to be paying off as she just shouted "I'M STARTING TO HATE THIS GAME" and all I can do was nod in approval.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Using Charlie Brown and Lucy as a metaphor for the Dems and the GOP respectively, when she pulls the football out of the way, is particularly apt because typically the person who holds the football and the person who kicks the football play for the same team.

I don't know if I pulled a muscle in my thigh or what but it seemingly doesn't hurt at all while I'm at work and only bothers me once I'm home relaxing

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

I’m watching people play that lousy Sonic Fall Guys ripoff that just came out. Whoever decided Sonic’s jump sound effect should be that little joyless “thwip” from now on instead of the round “bwoop” should be shot

Maybe it’s better designs, or maybe just a lack of cutscenes for them to be able to do or say something annoying, but I’m liking these rando soldiers they made up for you to play as in this game more than most of the current-day allies in BOTW or TOTK

one of the funniest pranks ever played on my generation was the myth that japanese games were way harder than the US versions we got. total switcharoo. we were getting slapped upside the fucking head with rebalances explicitly designed to make you cuss out the Blockbuster clerk.
