The original Resident Evil was pretty revolutionary and terrifying for me, but the 100% scariest I’ve played is the original Dead Space.

More recently, The Outlast Trials is really good, and I would HIGHLY recommend any of the Dark Pictures Anthology games, but my favorite is Man of Medan.

More like bots, really. Threads had a huge user influx but also a ton of inorganic activity.

Yeah, it is.

Could even get Trump reelected in a few months. Super bleak.

you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent

I’d like to think that, but Amazon has the benefit (at least in the US) of operating in a country where most people need 2-3 jobs in order to live, so it’s either churn-and-burn or starve.

Video games as a narrative vehicle have come a long way.

Go try ‘Detroit: Become Human’ or ‘Man of Medan’ or ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’. The stories in gaming are GD amazing.

I’m curious as to how the fundraising for Palestine actually benefits the situation. Is it even possible to get charitable donations in?

The article’s pretty graphic, and yikes, I hope they go for attempted murder. The shooter fired THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD at kids just sitting in their car and offering no threat. Further, the injuries to the kid’s face were pretty substantial.

I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting on that, honestly.

Agreed. The headline made it sound like the deceased person was injected or something.

It really does suck that something so heartbreaking is just business as usual in this country.

I must say that I think the city government makes a reasonable point: those of use who want to offer foreign visitors safety and dignity in American must also demand that our government takes responsibility for helping them relocate to a town in which is expecting their arrival and has been aided in making that arrival successful.

Agreed. It just makes sense.

But there are lots of things we do differently than the rest of the world for no good reason. That’s America for you.

My biggest worry with all this attention on Springfield, Ohio is that some chucklehead neckbeard in podunk nowhere is likely already planning a mass shooting there.

It made me very sad to read this when I woke up today. As if Elijah’s death wasn’t horrifying enough, the paramedics who drugged him to death (and any paramedic who seemingly wants to do the same to another person in the future) now have a get out of jail free card.

Compared to the US, very hefty.

Is it enough, though? I can’t say if it is or not, but my gut tells me it’s not enough.

That’s wonderful news to read.

Mostly Neverwinter Nights.

We’ve had more active players on the server I DM for, so I’ve been popping in more often to run quests and ambience for all the newbies.

To be clear: I 100% think people should be able to enjoy their things without being robbed, public or no.

I’m not amused, just glad I have different habits.

Fair point.

Let me be perfectly clear that I think you should be able to look at your phone 24/7 without getting robbed.

Still glad I don’t, though.

Not blaming the victim here, just glad I have different habits.

Stories like this make me glad I’m not one of those people glued to my phone 24/7.

It’s way harder to snatch it when it’s in your pocket.

But the fun of these stories is when someone writes an article about the thieves trying to scam the victim into giving up their codes. That’s always amusing.

Yeah, that’ll be misused. Without a doubt.

What an awful development.

Barf.
