I cannot post on social media what I hope happens to everyone involved with this depravity.
This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets.

my fav thing lately is when people misspell it claire obscure which absolutely is the title of a fire early 00s emo song

I mean to be fair the bar for content slop mills like this should be like underground. It’s not great that it’s that way but it’s definitely that way :(
I really hate how games media handles anything out of China: www.thegamer.com/clair-obscur...

We're getting a gorgeous remake of one of their best RPGs ever, but the clown does zero research about it and just goes "I'm getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..."
We've Got Our First Clair Obscur-like, And It's A Chinese Game Called Sword And Fairy 4: Remake
Some shots almost looks like a Clair Obscur DLC.

We ended up accidentally watching this whole video yesterday, and against all odds, it ended up being one of the greatest pieces of cinema I've ever experienced:

It’s really awful that the Byzantines would ritually mutilate former rulers to keep them from taking the throne again but on the other hand this did mean no one had to suffer through episodes of the Nikephoros Bryennios Podcast Hour.
Liz Truss, who served 44 days as UK prime minister, goes full Curtis Yarvin.

Interviewing Yarvin on her new podcast, she calls for overhauling UK government to fit his vision.

“I agree with you, having spent 10 years in the system, you need to start from scratch,” Truss tells Yarvin.
