the ideal form of commercial gamedev is a fidget spinner that is also a slot machine it's not about communicating anything, it's about self-soothing. this is the rosetta stone to understanding like half a dozen different recurring game design discourses and the design trends that kick them off

Thread w/ new public revelations - FYI, Bix is referring to certain WWE Twitter grifters assuming PAC's death was from steroids and acting like this is AEW's George Zahorian moment (Maybe it *was* from steroid use, but PAC also had a known history of blood clots - we don't know yet, is the point)

Not sure how it is now, but back in the day the WWF used to be rly good at using their old monsters to put over their new monsters. You can see some of this in the 80s w/ One Man Gang & King Kong Bundy jobbing to Bam Bam Bigelow when the latter was getting established, but the 90s had a lot of it

One of the skeleton keys to political discourse is realizing that when people give ~pragmatic~ justifications for actions or policies that harm others in their own coalition, it's usually bc they personally agree w/ those actions but don't want to say it (see: the ongoing Talarico conversation)

One last little detail: in a sense, FC also has financial ties to Epstein! Specifically, he funded research trying to prove that nonverbal kids using FC had telepathic powers, which eventually led to a documentary podcast called "The Telepathy Tapes" that helped raise FC's profile

Really wish the online consensus "best" autism org weren't shills for facilitated communication (For the unfamiliar: FC is where a nonverbal person has a person "directing" them to type on a keyboard or such, basically a human Ouija board that's been used to falsely accuse parents of abuse)

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it may ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

To clarify, Carn's 2HK is a fantastic anti-air for stuff directly above him...but it has no horizontal range so you can easily bait & whiff punish it when jumping from farther away. 5HK can sorta work against jump-ins from really far away but it doesn't reach all that high
