I will use this opportunity to sing the praises of HiFi Rush, because that original game deserved so much better than it got. Probably would have gotten it as an indie game too.

Should be a subbranch of “ambivalent towards safety” - How do you like to endanger yourself -> Blowing things up = Chem Eng or Hit things with hammers = Geology

Nuclear doesn’t really solve the problem. Yes the energy generation is carbon neutral, the material still has to be produced, refined and transported, which is also quite energy expensive, not to mention the messy matter of material disposal. Further, nuclear does put out a lot of energy, but the ability to output an entire countries energy requirements from 3 plants makes energy security worse, because you have fewer fallbacks in the case of power grid malfunction (CSIRO published a nuclear feasibility study for Australia recently which highlighted this as a major issue with nuclear power). Even if all that works out, it still takes ages to build a nuclear plant, by which point you could have filled the grid with renewable energy and storage and saved a lot of time and money while also meeting energy requirements and reducing cadbon output.

I got back on the Warframe wagon with the Whispers in the Walls update. After a long break, I’m impressed how much better it is, and it’s hooks are firmly back in my brain. The new location and the throat chanting type soundtrack from the semi-hidden boss regularly flash into my brain at awkward times.

I love these word cloud things, because you can see the shitposts float to the top as the class gets in on the action. A palaeontology class once did one asking why we thought life began moving from water to land, and we all just watched the word Craig get bigger and bigger. Fucking Craig, this is all his fault.

Abigail Thorns video on the subject briefly yet beautifully dunked on the idea that taking away cars is taking away “freedom”, since you need a government issued photo ID to operate them, registration and strict rules to use them on the roads, and new cars are full of computers monitoring you and sendingndata to insurance companies. To quote directly, “you know what doesn’t do any of that? Fucking feet!”

Yikes. I got it through Game Pass and still wanted my money back

No kidding, I remember buying a loaf of rye bread when I went to the US and being shocked that it tasted sweet. It’s rye bread, sweetness is not the flavour I was going for.

I also think most of the core Chasers crew have some kind of legal background, either studying or practicing, so have a decent grasp of what they can and can’t get away with.

I liked that Mike Patton voiced both the Darkness and also the Anger Sphere from Portal. Horrifying mass of snakes, blades and tentacles, then a harmless orb.
