@UnseenOps
Genuinely one of the eeriest maps in a game I’ve played and it eternally disappoints me how dissonant the numbersfest looter stuff is with the atmosphere
@carlito_0000
this is a total guess but given the turban and beard i'd wager he was sikh, and sikh temples often make a lot of food for free meals for anyone to partake of. presumably one dish needed a lot of carrots that day!
@realPhoenixFire
it's almost as if imperialism and genocide is bad no matter who's doing it, be it the US against the natives, china against uighurs, turkey against the armenians, germany against the jews and slavs and other marginalized people, and japan against korea/china/rest of SEA 🤔
@poppy_haze
steam engines breathe, drink, and eat. They can grow tired if overstressed if their needs aren’t met and take time and cajoling to do as asked, and require respect and knowledgeable handlers familiar with individual quirks. They’re the closest any machine gets to being an animal
@suchnerve
the best part is when they scream at you insisting you're lying when you try in good faith to understand a problem but you are missing something or did not know you misstepped
@depthsofwiki
funniest part about this is the P59 was the first US jet fighter and top secret at the time - so pilots would have to tell a story about a mysterious gleaming aircraft with a weird sound and no propeller… flown by a smoking gorilla in a hat.
@INXLiNGs
i cannot lie; soft-body (the actual term!) physics when done well are awooga to me, but like... yeah that shit there is so *off* and gratuitous there that it loops back to being entirely unappealing. see this post, but for physics
@einherjarvalk
@UnseenOps
Genuinely the looter numberfest stuff is the main reason I never bothered with 2, it actively undermined the incredible atmosphere
@u_m_a_m_i
it's pretty clear from its content that the piece is evoking late-night moments of uncertainty in both directions. have you never been alone and suddenly had reason to think you're not, or been somewhere you're not supposed to with consequences if you were found? dread oozes
@Liz_Caingcoy
what gets me abt calling it bait is that it's one robot lady braving endless horrors in a personalized psychic hostile samsara loop to fulfill a promise to a woman she loves/is so dedicated to her memories leaking into somebody else *drives them insane*
THE WHOLE GAME IS YURI
@RaceplayShawty
.300BLK and 6.5 Grendel and .458 SOCOM and 7.62x39 chambered AR15s and AR10s in a similar variety (.308/ 7.62 NATO, .243 winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .300 winchester magnum, .338 federal) say hi. also some special 5.56 loadings are heavyweight jacketed hollowpoints that hit hard
@u_m_a_m_i
pretty clear that either the lady in the picture *is* the intruder paranoid about being caught, or she's just after hours and suddenly has unwelcome company and *they're* the intruder. not sure what the disconnect is supposed to be
@Calibaneur
at a wild-ass guess, I think he's alluding to the fact the russian government's highest levels these days are an old boys' club that's essentially a who's-who of late cold war KGB apparatchiks (incl putin)
@talia_bhatt
I’d be more sympathetic to this if she hadn’t spent literal years profiting off invoking the “I’m totally a boy boy man boy trap boy man not one of those t-slurs” wink nudging and pandering to right wing imageboarders. Frankly I still detest her
@u_m_a_m_i
perceptions of art vary by viewer but being startled by something alone at night at least once in your life seems like a pretty universal human experience to me, even if its particular context there is fairly specific (i.e. a computer lab or office after hours)
@perisceris
trying as it was I broke up amicably w my ex after he realized his needs specifically because I could never bear to make someone feel restricted from being who they are even if being single blows. Claiming to love someone while making them suffer dysphoria indefinitely is so evil
@NotoriousPBG
drives me nuts when people think it's bad to have permanent presence in space and also make use of resources there when every object in our solar system except earth is (probs) devoid of a native biosphere and sentient inhabitants, the harm to which is what makes it bad on earth
@endless_sine
@transkatgirl
IQ is as real as BMI (i.e. it's not, really, and is a terrible metric with inherent biases that are extremely flawed and its usefulness for anything but denigrating human beings is questionable)
@wontgoon
for real. even if i find the skirt spinny blahaj stuff to be a little juvenile and cloying, joy at that stage is absolutely not something people should be punching down on. they have it hard enough as it is, goddamn, let them be silly as they figure things out
@notdjkhaled7
@questionableway
ammo, without a firearm, that was used to hurt no one, that he didn't even realize he'd accidentally had in his bag. literally where is the violence
@kunwara_ladkaa
@elamin88
one of the first documented COVID superspreader events was a choir thing. Singing and yelling is a really fucking quick way to spread it
@sevikittty
I’ve gotten more shit for being blunt about my distaste for men from bi and pan sapphics than I have from cis het allies. Like, I’m transfem, I *know* how men talk abt women when they think there aren’t any around and it exhausts me how comphetty the world is. V isolating
@jesawyer
what people seem to miss is that January is a flash-image of Morgan at her most paranoid and antagonistic - not necessarily incorrect or malicious, but literally everyone in the game is unreliable and subjective to some extent, which rules.
ties in w/ "go with your gut" thing!
@NotoriousPBG
The farther out we get from his administration the more darkly funny it is to me that he campaigned with the slogan change and then proceeded to basically be bush terms 3 and 4 with rainbow flags
@mrfishtopher
serious suggestion: please put a bow tie on him. he seems like the kind of portly polite gentleman who'd have that and a nice bowler hat and waistcoat were he human.
@Rythayze
Leaves a bad taste in my mouth considering how much I loved the OSTs knowing he’s grifting off them while furthering an agenda that views me as subhuman
@pookleblinky
if memory serves wasn't what really saved them the fact a lot of vaccines require cryogenic storage and fast deep-cold transport and they were the one non medical, at-scale company whose product required both?
@who_shot_jgr
excuse me that is not the 747 Special Performance (aka "pocket rocket" "short pack")
i love the 777 but something about this stubboeing speaks to me
@emma_x0x0x0
@bethylamine
i say this as someone not even particularly fond of her: the way people are howling about her being a white billionaire when she’s Thai and I’ve seen no substantiated evidence about the hotel heir murder shit that isn’t just posts going “totally, trust me” is deeply ridiculous
@ByYourLogic
@ButterflyRive3r
This is exactly why aerial firefighting whips ass; all the thrill of close air support but you’re saving people without having to kill anybody or do imperialism
@NotoriousPBG
@jesawyer
Josh has excellent taste in bicycles, plot elements, firearms, and european cars AND he's not a shithead.10/10 follow.
if anything the fact he blocked those assclowns makes me like him even more
@aquariusbutch
the funniest (bleakly) part is when they accuse lesbian transfems of being terves and whine and moan about "misandry". like no pal, that's not how this works. i loathe them more than you, i just know words mean things
@Liz_Caingcoy
for real. like. they dance! they kiss! they are canonically, explicitly in love! elster doomguys her way through sierpinski and kills and dies apparently dozens or hundreds of times before she finally fulfills her promise, BUT SHE DOES IN THE END BECAUSE OF LESBIAN LOVE! aughhhhh
@dorkburger84
@valeriehalla
@safenuclearstuf
are you kidding? Modern offshored snap-on and the like are vastly inferior to the shit they made in the 90s and well before. I’d kill for my dad’s toolbox and contents thereof but it was stolen.
@milenkadraws
my motor vehicle is technically from a country that no longer exists, and i have had four extremely close brushes with death, three of which were external
@StopTweetingMia
i'm ethnically jewish and a former museum docent. the way these motherfuckers claim that queer people were not victimized is historical revisionism at its worst. i'm queer /and/ jewish and anyone saying it's co-opting is not only wrong, they're a nazi apologist.
@LiterallyCrypt
fun fact: some commbloc nations used decomissioned MiG engines for rail snowblowing (see also the T-34 tank chassis with twin jet engines and hoses used as an oilfield firefighting vehicle).
anyway give alyx vance a jet train
@InRangeTV
i have lost SO much respect for ian since he decided to be spineless instead of having principles like you did. it's a shame, i used to like him a lot.
thank you again for standing by doing the right thing, karl.

@damnyouwillis
I came here to comment that the artist clearly loves Watterson and I really like the spin on the influence. This is neat
@InstantSunrise
maybe i'm a wet blanket but imo a tiresome twitter bit is not worth permanently putting on one's skin. like imagine a dog rating tatt now, let alone in 10 years
@dandock
ah. the unpleasant realization that joker's standup flopping almost guarantees that in the modern day instead of becoming the clown prince of crime he'd be a rightwing rogansphere weirdo shilling contaminated protein powder
@krissibarks
banging is not exactly rare underwater, the ocean is a noisy place and hydrophones are sensitive instruments and sound reflects. it takes a while for even trained analysts to properly make sense of acoustic data especially if there wasn't something recording close to the source
@strawbrryblurbo
they know, it's just intentionally unwinnable. if we're *too* feminine they accuse it of being cosplay/performative/fetishistic, if we're not feminine enough they accuse it of being not enough of a woman/gross/not even trying. see: shitting on maxi dresses AND t-shirts+jeans
@Kerbo46188000
I noticed that as soon as the cohort of people who were old enough to grow up on media where stuff w/names like that were the bad guys actually reached senior corporate positions, everything started getting increasingly lamer names (e.g. Lucent, Altria) while still being evil
@AaronPa86465757
@GuilloMena
in the case of native americans you're absolutely correct, but i'd like to point out as a jewish person the internment camps had a single-digit death toll and were not genocide factories. still a racist crime against humanity that never should have been done, though.
@KierstenWarren
hi there. i was moved by this story and know how much photos can mean, so I tried to mend some of the damage the years did to them. i'm sure a professional retoucher could do a better job with high resolution scans, but i wanted to take a crack at it! i hope she likes.

a bullet with no gun to fire it out of is about as dangerous or lethal as a ballpoint pen or lithium battery vape, genius.
