I mean, sure, like a year ago but at this point I also don’t trust what the government and mainstream media say.

It’s a fantastic documentary; as an LA native, I recommend playing through the story to better understand our diverse culture of shallow rich folks, inner city gents, and meth-addled drug countrymen.

In fact, pirate it to truly honor my culture. Lol

Ah yes, the same Huntington Beach who put up a MAGA plaque that didn’t stand for MAGA but we knew it really did (those council members wore their red hats to the ceremony, iirc).

Official surf city? Don’t make me laugh.

Given their lawsuits, emulation is 100% the right way to piss them off. Lol

As an adjunct myself, wanted to see how widespread it is but this doesn’t seem to be. We’re usually first on the chopping block, but a dozen firings isn’t very many overall when there’s thousands of people teaching. I think similar happened when we celebrated Luigi, too, and both are pretty popular opinions with students.

Still, always be mindful of your online footprint and what you say in front of students in particular. You’re dealing with whole groups, so even if it’s a 90% popular opinion, you’ll get one asshole who may report you anyway. That includes religion, too, which is especially tricky when you’re an atheist teaching psychology and have to address shit regarding free will, evolution and why we have guilt and such.

But hey, we’re pretty fucking free to say what we want on Lemmy, it’s so obscure that I’m not even sure the government watches it.

You know, the real concern shouldn’t be someone looking up our posts, or even who is losing their jobs… thinking about 9/11, we’re really prepping ourselves up for a similar terrorist act. Pissing off everyone, losing people in charge of espionage, wasting time investigating people making fun of Kirk instead of actual threats, and so on.

Is that a Banksy?!

Not good enough! Need a compressed phone photograph of a screen with bad cropping, bare minimum.

So… Indie scene saw how shit 2025, so we got E33 and Silksong, we’re even getting Hades 2? What a year.

I think what I’m getting is there more than one way to skin the bark of that boss. There’s a lot of ways to play the game, even as early as Splinter, but I stay a Hunter with the starting pins (admittedly with poison). My friend loves his needle traps, though. There is better, I think, though all tools remain viable for a long time. I wonder if anyone is going full beast mode, that looks fun.

Lol, of course this is after I did the parts they nerfed but honestly nbd. Splinter was only a problem until you realize you can nuke both adds and damage the boss with you special circular AOE move. I actually took no damage on my win.

I also got Moorwing late, cause of fleas. Those 2 damage environmental hazards did seem pretty awful though. I’m great at platforming so it wasn’t much of an issue but I imagine it giving some people a lot of grief. I didn’t even know the gears caused 2 points it damage until my friend told me, lol.

Also… why now? BL games always get 90% off eventually, lol.

Well, there’s always his family, ya?

From what Grok has been saying, it was definitely a Jojo reference. Haha, Charlie is so good at getting roasted. Nice try!

You had me in the first half, hehe.

Yes, but mostly because of how unimportant he is in the whole of things. Like, maybe a Hitler bootlicker but not even a general. More like a guy who rats out people hiding in attics.

I had my moment accidentally in teaching class today when I accidentally said “turning point.” This alone would be fine if I didn’t then giggle to myself after noticing.

Can confirm, DQ5 (1992) had monster catching. Not sure if I’d call it summoning, but Pokemon took clear inspiration from that game in particular.

What happens if you go in for a tickle?

Not in defense of the imperial system, but if you’re curious why it’s so arbitrary, it’s a crazy story about untangling a ton of proprietary guild measurements. The mile itself isn’t quite proprietary (it was defined as 8 furlongs, and you can blame the English for ruining a perfectly good roman measurement) but they needed to make it a certain number of chains, rods, yards, and feet, plus a few other obscure measurements I forget about. Naturally that results in a stupid conversation rate (mostly vs yards and feet since it was basically a different system).

Why we still use it, dunno. I can see an argument for keeping feet and inches for things like carpentry (in the similar way I like hexadecimal in programming) but miles is not that. It’s about as logical as this point as fahrenheit, which is to say it’s outdated nonsense.
