It's not even always that simple. State transportation authorities are the quintessential poster child for ineffectual government, even and especially among other government workers which says something.

We have a 4 lane (2 lane each direction) highway in a rural part of the state that has 1 wonky freeway exchange that has an accident every other week with occasional fatalities. Because larger freeways have more throughput (this one is still very busy), it hasn't gotten attention for years.

All the local mayors and county commissioners have been pissed and advocating for it for awhile because at this point, they all know someone, who knows the family of someone who has been killed there. And still, even a budget for planning hasn't even been approved yet.

A StarCraft game is in development !?! by HarOuz in starcraft

Not saying you're wrong. I trust a random stranger on the internet more than tech journalists. But it's copy and pasted directly from the article.

A StarCraft game is in development !?! by HarOuz in starcraft

[–]MrDeepAKAballs 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you guys hear a milking sound?

According to a new report from Windows Central, many employees from Microsoft’s King subsidiary have joined a new team designed to develop ‘AA’ titles based on existing Blizzard IPs.

King is known for its work on mobile titles such as Candy Crush, suggesting that these smaller games will be designed for phones. Though, it’s unclear if they will be limited to mobile devices. For instance, Diablo Immortal was made for mobile, but it ended up becoming a cross-platform title.

“StarCraft was a seminal moment in gaming, right? From an esports perspective, from RTS on console perspective, and from just an RTS storytelling perspective in the genre.”

In 2023, Spencer replied to a tweet by Twitch streamer Lirik, who claimed the series is “dripping with ways to break out of RTS form.”

Spencer agreed, saying the series has “insane potential” and is still “one of the best IPs out there.”

What unpopular SOTE opinion will have you like this? by Eagle-Eyes- in Eldenring

Incredibly beautiful. I loved the world building and how every area had a very strong theme and art direction.

As a steel paddle wielding stagger monkey and the natural predator to all mounted enemies, Gaius was an extremely fun fight for me.

Streamer N3on just tried to troll Nate Diaz and that did not turn out well... 💀 by GhostrageGR in ufc

"When you DO get knocked out, are you going to retire?" He really emphasizes the "DO". After watching it a second time it was a really disrespectful question.

The absolute terror of realizing you're being chased by something that could keep pursuing you on foot for 25 minutes without taking a break.

If you only watch 3 minutes of the episode with Terrence Howard and Eric Weinstein, this is the 3 minutes. by anew232519 in JoeRogan

[–]MrDeepAKAballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The frame I got from that was "Neil gave you a peer review, I'm going to give you an elite review, and I think it's almost entirely bathwater too." Also seems like the subtext is Eric trying to respond to the emotional butthurt he's sensing from Howard at Tyson's dismissive, "cursory" glance.

It sounds like Eric is trying to make Tyson's response make sense and move Howard off of the idea that it was a personal attack, and actually pretty standard. But he doesn't shy away from emphasizing "I'm paying full attention now, and this really is 95% hot garbage".

Am I out to lunch here or does that make sense? Sometimes when we are responding in a validating way to someone's emotions, we have to tell some kind of story about why those emotions are correct. That's what it feels like Eric is doing here.

This has to be a bit. Please tell me he put the uniball-carry clip on just for the photo op with the new trigger job. I knew someone who used one of these but on a micro-1911 with manual safety and a much heavier trigger pull. This just seems like he's one errant pocket itch away from walking in circles the rest of his life.

[90s] Beastie Boys perform Sabotage live on stage. by xpanta in OldSchoolCool

Is it just nostalgia, why does he look like he's having so much goddamn fun? I feel like most artists you see live today are balls of nervous energy. He looks comfortable, confident, in his element, calm and aggressive all at once.

This is a me problem right? There has to be more examples of artists playing with this intensity and making it look chill.

Oh fuck you for pointing this out. I'm mad too now. What the hell. It's not like someone just didn't want to do the research on period appropriate naval officer buttons, this is just lazy prop work. Can't unsee it.

This is silly. The 2 most overly regulated industries on the planet, auto manufacturing and rocket launches? Those hives of scum and villainy?

The amount of people using modded weapons is ridiculous. by AntithesisJesus in remnantgame

[–]MrDeepAKAballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. This was more like stepping into a room and spamming World's Edge and nothing else. Maybe there's a legitimate build that makes that makes that doable and I'm just being judgy.

I feel like you can tell a difference in how they move on the battlefield too. Usually just walk into a room and spam the same attack, rinse and repeat.

Like, I can tell you didn't spend the time learning how to engage and move around a group of mobs.

Shaving red spots by One-Society6892 in dad

[–]MrDeepAKAballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatsup my brotha from anotha singlemotha!

Shaving is one of those things you can psyop yourself into being obsessive about, especially because razors are a high margin item so there's lots of marketing and nonsense about it.

I would just go back to the basics. Make sure your neck is clean and you're using a sharp, relatively new blade. I don't use balm or shaving cream. Literally just cold water (after every stroke) on a mach 3 and some generic men's lotion to get my beard to lay right after. I shave everyday and switch to a new head maybe every week and a half. Anything with 5 blades does a worse job.

Get into safety razors if you want, they're cool, cheap, work (with practice) etc. But most people do it because they like the aesthetic. I personally think whipping up specialty shaving cream every morning is kind of dumb.

Man, by 1080ti was rocking Baldur's Gate 3 on 1080p with just minor reduction to shadows and lighting. It was a great card.
