what's the over-under on at least one of the screens being a straight up Unity tutorial?

is... is that not what they are going for? (because I thought that's what they were going for 😬)

imagine being on the 'execution team' and finally realizing the guilt and shame of what your life has become... and then also realizing that the coward's way out is unavailable to you because you'd just fuck it up.

They already have... funneled a bunch of money into the stock market without directly notifying the families of the children. You have to create an account on their app or website and agree to who knows what terms and conditions to access that money.

a screenshot from the article which says:
"Both the government money and the deposit from the Dells go automatically into an S&P 500 index fund."

What's weird is that they definitely have those in the States, but it's not the government, private insurance companies get to decide whether you get life-saving care or not.

One thing I really like about Galactic Racer is that it doesn't try to pull in external drama like other racing games where your brother is kidnapped by The Cartel and you have to join the CIA to go undercover in the underground racing scene... no, people race vehicles! They love it! It's enough!

I mean, in the case of these guys, accountants don't even really do math... the job of the accountant is to make all this graft appear legal somehow.

(yes, it's from experience... also they like to hang out in bathroom ceiling exhaust fans, so it's not a good idea to install those directly over the toilet)

The interplay between speed and handling mechanics is cool and you get a lot of tools, like afterburner, ramjet, shield and drift. Throw in track hazards on some planets like acid pools that corrode your speeder for extra drama. I am enjoying the rogue-light branching path and upgrade/fault system.

We already had a word for "social contagion" but I guess if you say people aren't having children because of peer pressure you sound stupid so they had to come up with something else.

I arrived in these comments simply to say, "that is too much soy sauce." I am relieved to see the sentiment already reflected here.

But if I can read 634 books, Scholastic will let me get a Mountain Bike for only the cost of shipping and handling...

Okay, but it's not great because of right-wing weirdos so they have to take it over and end up wrecking it because they never knew how to do it to begin with. Look at the movies The Daily Wire makes... nobody wants to watch it, it's hot garbage.

I remember working in a video store when we got our rental fleet of PlayStations and Saturns in... I'd stay after closing and play all night. wipE'out" was extremely confusing to me because it opened with Red Bull and The Designers Republic logos, neither of which I'd heard of.

I was going to suggest this one, but I see boss fight theme is a separate category/day! youtu.be/WWtpAzbEnc8?...

I presume you get yelled at a lot less. (even though there probably still is a lot of yelling)

Oh wait, uhhhh... yes, just checking the bylaws and, yes, in a chat such as this one, you must use the more casual pronunciation of "tahmaytah" when referring to the soup.

It sounds super Canadian to this Californian who's been living in Canada (Quebec and Ontario) for the last 18 years.

People are joking around, but this legit looks delicious, lol.

Probably because they are both of the group of "first responders" (along with EMTs/Paramedics) and likely candidates for some of the money that would come from "defunding police" (though one hopes for more to emergency social and psychological/psychiatric services). Could be seen as chipping away.

This and Sleeping Dogs are my backlog White Whales... I must have had them installed on at least four different machines over the years but I have never gotten to either of them in spite of knowing this is a crime I will pay for with my soul.

It's not work... it's a little club of other rich jackasses who meet so they can hunt poor people for sport or race their mega yachts while seeing who can rack up the most dolphin kills.

So... while I don't think it's very well done, it's pretty clearly mimicking traditional James Bond intro credits scenes? Like, those tend to use an art deco style and rely heavily on silhouette and rotoscoping. In that scenario, it doesn't make sense to include gameplay. youtu.be/YnzgdBAKyJo?...
