>but they don't make games like Halo 3 anymore You don't miss Halo 3, you miss being a teenager with no responsibilities. They could release Halo 3 (and they did on MCC) again and you wouldn't play it because it cannot replicate this feeling for you anymore

Pardon power is probably top 5 in the very competitive list of absolutely dog shit ideas the founders got into the constitution

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense"

1 has obviously got to be the 3/5ths clause. 2 is probably the existence of the Senate in general. So I think pardon power is probably competing with Commander In Chief clause for 3rd

Don't worry trump is very forgiving of public incompetence

lol -- Zacharia suggests her briefing was a disaster bc it was in the morning & day before was a holiday "Typically briefs are in afternoon where the press sec has ample time to be briefed. This was a very different intake. And the briefing materials got to me evening before bc it was a holiday..."

WTH: 🤦 The execution by firing squad of the Fort Hood shooter will be carried out in public, Hegseth says. "We'll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it's public. Because people need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things" - Axios

Charlie Angus: Heavy crude from Alberta has served American refineries for a long time. It has served the US economy super well. But hey, you threaten us, well, we’ll have another pipeline and it can go elsewhere. The message to the MAGA administration is: Keep pushing, sucker, and see what happens

I'd really like it if this particular bubble could crash before Hasbro has basically murdered their own game to try and get a bigger slice of the reseller vultures frankly

"The creative identity and strengths that make Obsidian distinct will remain" I'll believe that when I see another Pentiment

Nathan Grayson@nathangrayson.bsky.social

as part of this week’s xbox restructuring, obsidian has been folded into bethesda, reinforcing layoff-borne fears that it’s been reduced to support studio status. in an internal email viewed by aftermath, bethesda’s president tried to downplay that idea

RW Influencers don't even call you a slur anymore they just look at you like this

A post that’s so eye-opening because this is exactly what liberals will say is GOP distraction tactics, almost as a parody— and here it really is what Gaetz is saying unironically as his GOP message.

What did Paradox mean by this

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li@sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com

so what did i do? that's right. i literally just cheated. i booted up the game in debug mode, opened the console, and force-changed my laws to cooperative ownership, which rediverted the proceeds of capital from capitalists to workers. and then suddenly everything worked again.

I'm not a creative professional but I've got a pretty decent monitor and stare at a computer in much of my professional and personal life. I disliked Win11s implementation so much I was starting only to use it when streaming to my TV

RDR2 is probably one of my favorite games ever, but the "game" part has very very little to do with that. Straight up atrocious RPG systems and mission design

Large portions of the data center backlash are based on moral panic, but the the tech right VC types upset by it are very funny considering how gleeful they were about the demise of ‘legacy’ media. What’s that? You’re missing epistemic gatekeepers who would place complex facts in context? Tough shit
