this world is a nightmare
This is true insofar as something happened, a bunch of people made up a bunch of conspiracy theories about that thing based on no factual information, and decided to distrust the government on those grounds rather than the well-documented facts of the thing
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

Me if I was one of the 12 on PLURIBUS

Can’t believe we’re four whole episodes into PLURIBUS and we don’t even know what Heisenberg’s role is in all this yet 😔

A very generous (and more well-off) friend of mine gave me a used 360 with DEAD RISING. The first time I did something that yielded an achievement I literally poked around the store and the settings for like 15 minutes trying to figure out what the fuck had just happened
Hoihoi, it's the Xbox 360's 20th birthday today! Happy birthday, one of my favourite and personally important consoles in my gaming life.

Yes, I too fought the RROD.

But yeah, the 360 was my gateway to that generation of gaming. Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Assassin's Creed II...

I opened the Xbox app this morning and was immediately met with “now you can use copilot for gaming!”
Microsoft is so fucking desperate for anyone to give a shit about copilot.

Honestly everything about this story is baffling with the possible exception of them deciding to do it in the first place

This is why announcing the game of the year nominees in early November is stupid

Sitting here idly hoping a meager inheritance comes through before the economy bottoms out and destroys every 401K so I can pay off my student loans before they’re sold off to a private equity fund that will throw me in debtors prison if my $2000 monthly payment (mostly interest) is one day late

Mario Kart DS is 20, which means the kids who dominated the online mode through snaking are now all in hospice care

Basically crawled into a video game hole all day and didn’t look at this app which was apparently a smart decision by the looks of things

The weird thing about this post is the blue dress doesn’t have anything to do with this? It’s an entirely different scandal lol
If Bill Clinton's implicated, I'll simply have to burn my Bill Clinton shrine with all my Bill Clinton baseball caps and my Bill Clinton Bibles and my Bill Clinton t-shirts and my Bill Clinton playing cards and my Bill Clinton gold-plated coins and my Bill Clinton flags and my Bill Clinton shoes.

I know this is just bad-faith bullshit and I try really hard not to amplify this stuff for dunking purposes but I think maybe Megyn does not know what “barely legal” meana
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

HORIZON might be a cursed franchise
Just to clear up some confusion I've seen, the newly announced NCSoft Horizon MMO is different from the multiplayer Horizon game that's in development at Guerrilla Games. That one is Guerrilla's next big project
