absolute chad gets the president coping and seething

More of a consequence of unfortunate genes and arthritis of the wrist before I turned 25! Looks like the surface of the moon under an ultrasound. The Ranch Rifle form factor sans pistol grip is not likely to mesh well, I'm afraid.

Right. It'd hurt my wrist, but I'm sure I can be just as effective on a range with an MCX Regulator as with a run-of-the-mill AR.

Right. Hell, even a magazine size cap is effective, if you want to go the route of targeting hardware restrictions. We cannot be the guys calling out literal fascism and then, at the same time, say "but we're going to take away any means you have to defend yourself from the fascists."

And, for reference, I'm originally from NYC. Never owned a gun until 2020, when I was worried the election would yield a crisis, and then was totally validated by January 6. I now own several firearms. Fun for the range and I hope to never have to use them. After MN, damn sure not giving them up.

I know there are a lot of others on the left, both to my left and more moderate, who aren't so comfortable making that trade. I've spent a bit of time this week reaching out to my Delegate and State Sen. to rail against the AWB and will continue to do so. Wish I didn't have to. Hard to defend.

Virginia lefty gun owner here. I would never vote for a Republican (certainly not under current circumstances), and knew that my vote for Spanberger was going to lead to this situation, but I won't lie and say I'm not upset. I balanced the choice against Rs being generally evil rn and my guns.

like I get that his main takeaway is that Star Trek is primarily about the space travel, which, sure, I guess you could say if you ignore the other 30 minutes of every ~45 minute episode

we're going to create Digital God™️but it will only be accessible through Microsoft Copilot in Teams and also may occasionally tell you to create mustard gas to get a stain out of your cardigan

your use of hashtags is almost as infuriating as the idea you're pushing here

both of which are just totally out of touch

They're updating it to be able to download with screen-off.

Steam Machine definitely will hinge on its pricing. If Frame is price competitive with the Quest, it will easily conquer the VR space with even a small amount of marketing.

Steam Controller is going to be massive and I foresee it being ubiquitous in the PC community, usurping the Xbox controller.

In a good place. Modest but healthy userbase, feeds work exactly as they should, feels like Twitter in the golden age as far as actual features and daily use goes. Just needs some more of the big names that I follow (mostly Capitol Hill/DC reporters, but that's a niche need).

Right. I'm all for new blood, particularly in the aged Dem ranks, but jumping straight to a high-profile Senate race as your first foray, and at a time when we can't really afford many losses...not great.

Since the sale, I've kinda dropped Polygon. My main gaming content is discussion on Reddit and listening to Triple Click, at this point.
