screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Looking back me not only being obsessed with Ranma as a kid but specifically rewatching this episode repeatedly probably should have told me something. 070
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I also think it's super telling that growing up in a semi-religious household nobody ever told me about that little wrinkle. I was an adult before I learned that just being a good person isn't how you get into heaven 0201
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 28/09/2026This is exactly why I have conflicting feelings about Christians who aren't super pushy. Like what does it say about you if you think I'm going to burn in Hell for all eternity if I don't change my ways and you're willing to just let that happen 1291
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The only difference is that the 1920's were actually kind of cool before everything fell apart. It's like we're at the height of the roaring twenties and the opening stages of the great depression at the same time 010
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Thank you for actually giving an explanation, that's all I wanted 010
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026So doctors wouldn't be getting extradited either way, he just wouldn't be personally responsible for it anymore. I still don't see how vetoing this is protecting anyone 150
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Vetoing a bill that would prevent doctors from being extradited to other states to face prosecution for providing gender affirming care is protecting them? 160
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 15/09/2026It became a meme precisely because it has no defining qualities anyone outside of Ohio would recognize. 100
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Except in most videogames when you lose you only lose a few minutes of progress. The kind of games that are willing to set you back more than an hour are designed exclusively for masochists 000

screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 31/08/2026That's the neat part, you don't! 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I think there's a reason why he doesn't go to HR at this point 020
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Then why did she make a VR movie about it? This is terrible opsec 020
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 30/08/2026It wouldn't even be that out of character for Rockstar, they're well versed in turning controversy into free marketing. 010
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Are any insurance companies currently willing to cover a ship passing through the strait? If not, it's not open. 030
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 25/08/2026A laptop that contained the only copy of the game's source code got stolen so they had to rebuild it from scratch. They actually improved the graphics though, the original version of Zomboid looked even more primitive 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 16/08/2026A game built around a series of interlocking systems capable of interacting with each other in intricate and sometimes unpredictable ways that expects you to exploit how those systems interact with each other 0120

screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Part of it is a lot of people want to emulate Stephen King but setting their story in Maine would be too on the nose. If you want a cold, rainy, coastal setting in the US but don't want to go for Maine, Washington is your next best bet. 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Undesirable voices on X get banned, I think they're just running out of money. 110
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Probably not dissimilar to what most indoor spaces smelled like in the forties. The entire planet just kinda went nose blind to tobacco smoke for about a century 150

screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 02/08/2026And I'm willing to be the insurance company wouldn't do anything without a police report, they seem to love that little game 110
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Kidnapped child soldiers subjected to horrific medical experiments that were originally made to put down colonial rebellions. The Spartan program wasn't even a response to the Covenant, Earth just wanted better soldiers to reinforce its control over distant colony planets. 140
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 22/07/2026The manosphere's problem with the movie is entirely related to the casting, they don't like that non-white people and a trans man are involved. No change to the script would have altered their response. 130
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Basically his whole thing is that people who abuse and exploit others or succumb to self destructive tendencies like addiction do so because they don't appreciate the life they have, and in order to develop that appreciation they need to fight and suffer for survival. 010
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Yeah, "slop" in general has been used to describe lazy, unimaginative media for a long time, I was just thinking to the first time I'd specifically encountered "(suffix)slop". 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 15/07/2026The first time I'd heard of it was the term friendslop to refer to the wave of co-op games that came out in the wake of Lethal Company 100
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 15/07/2026And if you ask them why communism or socialism are bad they'll describe capitalism because they also don't know what that is. 120
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 10/07/2026And they aren't even selling it for that much money. They're trampling our rights, violating our privacy and destroying online anonymity for about twenty bucks a person. 1473
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Because they're all lot less likely to sue than adults 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Huh. It could still be the case, just in a less direct sense. New Gacha games competing with the old bloated gacha games and feeling the need to imitate them to be more familiar to fans of the genre? 020
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Most live service games start out fairly simple, then add new stuff every few months to keep people playing. It's usually not a conscious design choice, just a byproduct of a game receiving regular updates for years on end without a long term plan. 140
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Considering how witch hunts tended to go in the real world, it could just be a case of overzealousness, or some other family with a grudge falseley accusing them of witchcraft to get them killed. 010
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Yes, the prisoner is being forced to work against their will, that is definitionally slavery. As for your last point, yes, we need to feed children better at school, that doesn't mean prisoners are too well off. One injustice doesn't justify another. 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Alternatively, slavery was always the goal and the schools to prisons pipeline was created to facilitate it 000
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 02/07/2026This advice is applicable in a wide variety of situations and applies to many creatures other than horses 0280
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 27/06/2026If I'm remembering correctly Musk removed post dates because he got mad at that graph showing how much he posted over a year. 110
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 27/06/2026As explained here, because excelling usually means more work and higher expectations with no reward or recognition. All you're doing is making your and other people's jobs harder for no material benefit. 100
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Some reptiles and tortoises are very low maintenance. 010
screamingcactus.bsky.social @screamingcactus.bsky.social · 22/06/2026That's because they're making a video game 100
