Yeah, I don't think it will directly impact legal stores because they've always been federally illegal anyway. It's just the other states have managed to sell certain edibles and drinks through the hemp loophole that's just been closed.

Yeah, that's what's so fucked up about all of this, it's basically a given at this point that the Republicans are Nazis. I think it does make sense for *us* to be angrier at the traitors than at the enemy, but it's important for the media to not gloss over that and normalize it.

Yeah, having a schedule is a luxury I didn't have for Iron Village for the same reason. It definitely made it harder to finish, but as long as you can roughly plan it out on a longer timescale, it is doable.

Idk about the graph maker in particular, but there are enough people in silicon valley that legitimately believe this that it's a little terrifying.

(oh, and discord integration is delayed for a bit, I've been sick with a cold for like a whole week so I haven't gotten around to it yet)

It turns out the New Deal and waging war against Nazis are great ways to run the economy

The next British election is still far enough away that the Green party actually has a chance to pull off a win, but in the meantime we're still stuck with red flavored Tories, so... it's not great

Yeah, I suspect Spain is a little safer partly because Franco is still in living memory, but honestly trying to make political predictions about anywhere right now is a coin toss

Like at this point, do they even want to make GTA? Or would they rather just be union-busting assholes?
November 7, 2025 at 12:35 PM
I'm honestly amazed, they didn't realize they were Nazis?

Oh 100%, it always is!

It's funny, it feels like the opposite with published games sometimes too - like there are some settings where it's just like, "wait, you just let me change that in production with two clicks?"

At least for published games though, switching the actual build has extra steps.
