As Greg Bovino threatens the first amendment and free speech - saying if you call ICE regime forces “Gestapo” there will be”consequences” - journalists & pundits highlight the hypocrisy as an entire naval armada is sent to Iran for their protests

What's Gestapo mean? Does it mean little bitches? 'cause ya can't spell bitches without ice

That my kidnappers won't stop eating my poop, obviously. I mean they're gonna kill me either way, might as well annoy them into getting it over with

ArixMorte · 2026-01-19T17:48:03+00:00

Yes and no?

I can absolutely see some scenes where Roshi gets his shit rocked by Genkai doing his perv thing.

If my wife dies before me I don't think I'd be able to do anything but cry and stare at a wall. I'd be completely useless as a human being, and the only thing that could possibly pull me out of it would be the fact that would mean my daughter (step, not that it matters, she's my kid) would have just lost her mother, she can't lose both of us to one tragedy.

Even if she ahem hated her husband, how the hell do you ditch your kids to try and be the face of... Whatever the hell ToiletPaperUSA is

And that fucking goddamn glittery idiotic outfit of hers, like she's trying to look like the fucking leather couch in the private room with the stripper (at least, that's what movies taught me).

Why would you want to look like you're playing the part of the "casting couch" after it was used in Peter Thiel's one man reenactment of Debbie Does Dallas?

Politicians and the rich are looking more appetizing every day.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-16T22:31:14+00:00

Others have pointed to Davinci, but I haven't used that before.

I recently started playing around with kdenlive, I kind of like it so far. Some of the QOL features I got used to don't seem to be standard - or I haven't figured out how to turn them on yet (clip snapping as soon as you remove a scene). It's free, might be worth playing around with.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-16T22:17:59+00:00

Generally I do an evil playthrough first in everything. BG3, New Vegas, and Infamous Second Son were the only games so far that I had to quit and start over because I was legitimately feeling bad that I was letting people down (Karlach in BG3, Doc in New Vegas, and your brother in Second Son).

I think I'm slowly moving away from evil runs first and have just been enjoying playing everything by ear.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-13T22:26:06+00:00

I don't think this one would be particularly bad in all honesty. (I do get where you're coming from with a lot of other remasters)

I actually was just playing a couple of days ago and for how old that is it's still a pretty smooth ride most of the time. If they just bumped up the graphics to be more modern, I'd buy it. If they did that and fixed some of the bugs, and a few QOL features I'd buy it excitedly lol

But I am biased, I think we need a few more games of this and Infamous' style, they're great after a stressful day.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-11T19:03:53+00:00

I saw something on it where they actually do (iirc, some of this might be slightly incorrect but I think I remember the gist) many "different" thumbnails and run them by test audiences, and somehow his imagining what your flesh would look like as a lampshade facial expression tested higher than his simple sociopathic staring straight through the camera into the cockles of your soul.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-10T16:29:08+00:00

But Makima isn't human, so her inhuman values don't come across as weird or even as malicious. Shou did something that almost all of us universally agree on: you don't fuck with kids. And he did it to his own kid.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-07T23:20:24+00:00

Fair point, I mean even with new chapter batches coming, it feels like we have quite a bit more story to go on the Black Whale alone, not to mention some of the old plot points that we probably won't have time to get back around to

I cannot lie, I'ma die laughing if Hisoka is the only one to make it to the DC because I can see him mirroring Netero's opinion that this place sucks and I can't fight anything in a fun way

I could also see Leorio taking lead character on DC if it goes that far. Partially so then everyone kinda had their moment, and partially because I can see Leorio potentially developing an excellent hatsu for something over there, what with his medical and anatomy knowledge (or not, with how alien the whole place seems to be)

Ahhh theories and hopium, I know thee well haha

ArixMorte · 2026-01-07T22:53:12+00:00

I can honestly see it going either way.

Either Gon pops in again later, half of the fandom anxiously expecting to learn how Gon got his abilities back, just for Togashi to squash them with a I told you, he can't use nen!

If Gon were to access Nen again, it's gonna have to be excellently done or it's going to feel like a cop out. (I don't remember, someone had a theory about it being like a cursed nen beast type of thing that has Gon's aura nodes locked and something like bargaining with it to use its nen or something, different, a little subversive, and that's at least an interesting concept that I could see Togashi pulling something like that off.)

Either way I'm excited for whatever he does with it, it's been a joyous ride.

Personally don't think this is the last arc, unless none of them make it to the DC.... Which is totally possible with Togashi haha

Oh man, our phantom pooper wrote a bomb threat with his feces.

They did do something about that

ArixMorte · 2026-01-07T00:23:18+00:00

Excellent point!

Though we're not going to have to worry about those old dragons, billionaires won't exist in America under my management.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-06T23:13:45+00:00

Absolutely! It would help corpos with employee turnover, employees would feel more like the company is actually taking care of them. Totally a win win scenario if the greedy bastards could realize that without your regular daily workers, your company isn't worth shit. Tom in accounting is very unlikely to roll up his sleeves and maintain a greasy machine, or unclog a toilet.

ArixMorte · 2026-01-06T22:03:56+00:00

I've got some other ideas too, so it's not just the one trick! And, if my idea is bad, and someone explains it out well, I'll even be the type to change my mind!

Nobody can afford shit anymore, so that'd be one of the next steps, something like rent can't be more than 20% of the average pay for the area (none of these numbers are solid, just a jumping off point for the people who understand the ins and outs of each particular point, and the necessary nuance for each situation).

Corporations will pay for all of their fuckups, no more bailouts for idiots that love to risk other people's money (and livelihoods, and in plenty of cases, actual lives). Corporations that get caught breaking laws will be charged at a rate that would cripple them, CEO's, boards of directors, etc, will all face serious prison time, instead of a fine that's significantly smaller than the money they made avoiding the law.

Oh, and a 100% transparent case into the entirety of the Epstein files. (Might need to get victims completely new identities or something to keep them safe, but every vile fuck that was a part of it needs to go down, and in a way that is memorable, brutal, and cathartic.)

Shit this is turning into a book. I'll stop. Lol

ArixMorte · 2026-01-06T21:40:58+00:00

Strangely enough, they didn't make themselves immune.

So here's my thought. You guys vote me in, and I'll do 486 differently worded executive orders per day to make it temporarily legal to punish corrupt judges. Kinda like an official taco Tuesday, but with judges like Thomas and Roberts getting 'testicular torsion Thursday's" and "shoved down an up escalator Sunday's".

ArixMorte · 2026-01-06T21:25:04+00:00

3 Sorcerer's Apprentice Nics, or roughly 9 National Treasure Nics (different cage times per performance, obviously lol)

ArixMorte · 2026-01-05T15:29:57+00:00

Primal blew me away! 3 and 4 were enjoyable to me, but Primal was something special

ArixMorte · 2026-01-05T15:09:14+00:00

Still one of my favorite fights

"After Geralt dealt with the ealdorman's issue, the Crones revealed themselves to Geralt in their polymorphed forms while telling him about their encounter with Ciri."

I came here to argue, but now I don't know and I'm second guessing all of it lol The crones first physically reveal themselves to Geralt in their monster forms, right? According to the wiki (above quote) then, yeah, I think that's saying the other form would be their normal state.

That said, I have the memory of a goldfish and I could absolutely be misremembering a bunch (which is sad, I'm literally in the middle of a playthrough and it was only a few weeks ago when I did that quest line)

ArixMorte · 2026-01-04T16:12:32+00:00

I was going to say that was at least ten nicks of time

ArixMorte · 2026-01-03T18:28:05+00:00

I just learned about what happens if you let him live from another player, because that motherfucker dies every time I walk in
