In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

i want to believe the US will not let trump get away with saying that the shooter was actually ran over, and injured, and he is in hospital recovering & it is surprising he survived. none of that is even conceivably a bend of the truth, it's just a completely different reality. beyond the pale

I find the duality of Metroid Dread and Prime 4 kinda wild.
Metroid Dread has all the structure of a Metroid game but the gameplay lacks the same feel because it’s more trial and error than the earlier entries.
Prime 4 on the other hand looks and feels like Prime but is lacking in its structure.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

If I had to give a top 5 for games I’ve played this year it’d probably be somethin like:
1. Expedition 33
2. Peak
3. Cronos The New Dawn
4. Monster Hunter Wilds
5. Metroid Prime 4
Honestly never woulda predicted most of those being among my favorites. Expedition 33 and Peak snuck up on me.

I think my only complaint so far in Prime 4 is the overuse of the word “psychic” on abilities.

I guess it’s cool there’s a new Mega Man game? But like, I’m sick of classic Mega Man. This os the 3rd time they’ve revived it.
Do something else, like X? There’s more than one Mega to make things about Capcom.

$20 billion could end homelessness in the US
$40 billion could end hunger globally
Both would still only cost 3/4 of what Meta blew on Mark Zuckerberg’s obviously bad ideas because nobody would tell him they were stupid because he’s worth over $200 billion because he doesn’t pay his share of taxes

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.

The more I think about Pokemon Legends Z-A the more lukewarm I feel about it.
I like the changes it made, the story is good, but despite being one of the more polished releases they’ve done in years it feels weirdly undercooked.
Honestly prefer the overambitious mess of SV in many ways.
