Survival horror is not my cuppa, but Alpha Beta Gamer recorded some gameplay from the demo(?) it for people who like that sort of thing:

[YouTube] Labyrinth of the Demon King - Crunchy Retro-Grim Survival Horror Set in Feudal Japan!

By that point, big tech will have created the Torment Nexus, and half the country take out Klarna loans so they can own the libs with it.

Is this even a meme?

Hermes: Orpheus. Don’t come on too strong.

Seconds later…

Orpheus: Come home with me.
Eurydice: Who are you?
Orpheus: The man who’s gonna marry you.

I wish we had a better name.

When marketing to the “I only read the headline before commenting and sharing” crowd, anti-abortion is a loser compared to pro-life.

Pro-bodily-autonomy doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.

After blowing up the aid trucks.

We did not blow up an aid truck. We blew up terrorists.

After evidence comes out that, yes, it was an aid truck.

Well, they did not properly identify themselves as an aid truck.

Video evidence comes out that they identified themselves on the truck, with their uniforms, and during direct conversation with the soldiers who then killed them anyway.

One of the aid workers was totally a terrorist. He was hiding a bomb in his underpants, we swear!

Everyone knows this is an obvious lie.

And what are you going go do about it? Tweet at us?

Small, local communist Ws would enable more state and national communist Ws.

“Well, that co-op just outside of downtown is doing fine. Molly’s daughter worked there when she was in high school and said it was the best job she ever had. I guess communists can do some things right.”

is an improvement over

“I’ve never met a communist, but I know they’re all stupid and evil. I’m going to vote against anything with the word socialist or communist next to it because [media personality] told me so.”

I agree. “Exclamation point” sucks all the fun out of it.

Duckduckgo calls it “bang” for their special searchbar commands (like !gi makes it route the search through Google images), and I think more people should use that term instead.

I think our skill to process information has natural limits, which were overwhelmed decades ago by the social media firehose and a breakdown of information-filtering infrastructure.

an average edition of a newspaper the size of The Times already contains more information about the world than a person in the 17th Century was likely to come across in a lifetime. (Wurman, Information Anxiety)

That was back in 1989. We’re now 30 years later with an internet supercharged by predatory algorithms.

And we can’t filter all of it without either completely withdrawing from the world entirely or spending months learning why and how to filter it ourselves.

We have had information overload in some form or another since the 1500s. What is changing now is the filters we use for the most of the 1500 period are breaking, and designing new filters doesn’t mean simply updating the old filters. They have broken for structural reasons, not for service reasons. (Shirky, It’s Not Information Overload. It’s Filter Failure)

I think you’ve got to start with the bang to make it a community link.

Like this: !stick@sh.itjust.works

In an analysis of human exposure to climate change extremes — such as heatwaves, floods, droughts, wildfires, cyclones and crop failures — researchers found that children born in 2020 are two to seven times more likely to face one-in-10,000 year events than those who were born in 1960.

Why pick (great) grandparents as the reference point?

Wouldn’t it be more practical to compare them with their parents?

Edit: the actual study does show comparative data for other cohorts (i.e. every decade since 1960). Unless the average LiveScience reader is in their 60s, they just picked a weirdly unrelatable way to describe the study.

Serbian prosecutors on May 14 announced that the cultural official in charge of the site’s historic designation had forged a key document and had been arrested. Goran Vasic, the acting director of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, admitted he had fabricated an expert’s opinion.

“Vasic forged a proposal for a decision to revoke the status of cultural property,” prosecutors said in a statement.

So they forged a document in order to un-protect the building site?

I can’t unsee the source as BDSM Movement.

I’m so glad my Lemmy app has video preview thumbnails.

Who?

I’ve done this. It had the opposite effect.

The letter

Thank you! I now understand the joke.
