It was already the solution many preferred to batteries for dispatchable gen, datacenters turbocharged that unfortunately. Where I work we hadn't seen a single one planned in years, now there's [number redacted but it's several]

It's the xenomorph, that was my brain's shorthand for every monster under the bed style anxiety for the rest of my childhood. I was five or six I think

Comic strip!
Panel 1
A pale yellow landscape hosts a face-off between a woman and a giant scorpion. You mean giant as in big for a scorpion? No. This is the size of a car.
anyhow, sorry-
Panel 1-
Scorpion- Sorry! Sorry! I didn't choose this!
woman- what?

Panel 2
Scorpion- I didn't ask to be a huge scorpion but I am. Claws and stinger are what I have to work with.

Panel 3
woman- So you're going to sting me to death for lack of options?

Panel 4
Scorpion- I don't like it any better than you do.
Woman- Well don't do it then. Open a florist or something.

Panel 5
Scorpion- Wait you can just do that?

Panel 6
Market tent. It's a florist's and the scorpion stands behind the counter. A man browses the flowers.

panel 7
The man holds up flowers
Man- These jonquils are pathetic

Panel 8
The scorpion leaps at the man, stinger to his face
Scorpion- Shut the fuck up don't ever disrespect the flowers

Panel 9
the man lies on the ground foaming at the mouth
man- You're... a terrible florist...
Scorpion- Not from the flowers' viewpoint.
Flower- Damn straight

panel 5
Princess- apart from the fire breath
Prince- The what?

Panel 6
Princess breathes fire, incinerating prince

I find my tolerance for "git gud" has gone down significantly as I've gotten older, mostly because I just don't have as much time. I'll push through if I REALLY like a game but it takes a lot for me to beat my head against an encounter for too long. Silksong is probably the most recent

as a rabid fan... yeah if you're not an enjoyer of a certain kind of puzzle, I can understand getting frustrated. The way the game signposts can be vague and there was one point I had to look something up because it turns out I was doing ALMOST the right thing in a way that just wasn't working UGH

worst-case scenario engineer @worstcaseeng.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yeah this seems about right The problem I have is that I'm not sure I see a world where a Dem Congress passes anything much better, but I'm cynical. I don't really see it helping the R's much because just like Biden's bill all of this will be too long-horizon for voters to care

For this reason, each decade one man must be sacrificed, bound to live with the Blue and participate in her games upon her whim, lest humanity itself be drawn into her games

worst-case scenario engineer @worstcaseeng.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Blue does not actually know the solutions to Blue's Clues before the game commences. The game is a ritual by which Blue is granted inerrant knowledge. It is also required to keep the colored dog god sated and at rest
