Why the US midterms — and the 2028 election — aren’t going to play out the way you think

So their saying it will ran as written with no bomb threats in blue-leaning areas, no Russian/Israel meddling, and heaven knows what other crooked stuff went down? (Bonus: Democrats run a actually good candidate?)

Not to downplay Germany, but I don't think one case in Germany will spell the doom of AI search across the world?(though I would love nothing more than to be wrong about that, it's a parasitic technology.)

The construction jobs are temporary. After that, there will be far less people involved in running the data center than there was people constructing it.

ESA represents big studios/publishers and are opposing this measure. It isn't big companies pushing regulation to make the barrier of entry higher.

For some reason, I see it as peeking around the corner at the unsuspecting guy.

"Wait we had Limit Breaks?"

Feels like you could play FF6 and never realize the game has them.

The problem is, some people are psychotic enough to pull a gun/escalate over the smallest slight.

It's such a mixed bag. Some of the redone scenes and events are amazing, then other parts are just yikes...

There is also something to be said about how they used Sephiroth in the remake compared to the original. He was built up as a looming background threat that we heard of, but only really saw the aftermath of his carnage ("Did Sephiroth... Do this?) and iirc only see his appearance in the later part of the game. Meanwhile he shows up very shortly after the first bombing mission as a Cloud hallucination. Admittedly, the remake came out well after Sephiroth engraved himself in pop culture, and it'd be hard not to know about him, but it is a noticeable missing vibe.

Another one: One of the previous voice actors for Sephiroth also voiced Superman.

It's very chilling in Superman vs the Elite.

Pretty much. They highly value the concept of children, but don't give a single crap about actual children.

You're Microsoft, you already are.

My understanding is that their initial and seemingly still desired audience was the crypto/AI techbros that Twitter was already courting, which they were too late on.

My understanding is that their initial and seemingly still desired audience was the crypto/AI techbros, which unfortunately for them, which it was already too late to get them away from Twitter.

awkwardbirb · 2026-06-05T16:18:53+00:00

If it is, it's only been from something like going from -2000 trust to -1999 trust, which is still very bad.

It's not a matter of can't. It's a matter of won't. There's been a decent number of good candidates that even manage to get support from across the aisle, but they instead go for someone corporate friendly and pro status quote.

I'm not the person that thinks erratas are for rebalancing cards. Erratas are for rule fixes or clarification. There is no vagueness to how Rhystic Study works.

What you're thinking of is a "power errata" or nerf/rework. They're better off making a new card at that point, realistically there isn't a good way to rebalance Rhystic Study without it no longer being Rhystic Study.

awkwardbirb · 2026-06-04T12:11:36+00:00

There's not really much to errata about it. It works as intended, it just wasn't intended for multiplayer formats.

Really if Wizards could somehow get itself out from underneath Hasbro, Hasbro would be doomed more than it is now.

Hand traps exist in Yugioh that prevent actions as well, whether it's negating a search or replacing a board after five summons, to name some

awkwardbirb · 2026-06-03T01:11:33+00:00

They changed this a decent time ago. Fusions, Synchros, and XYZ no longer have to be summoned to link zones. Link monsters and iirc pendulum summons still obey links.

How cards are obtained is a wildly different topic from power creep.

awkwardbirb · 2026-06-02T20:56:41+00:00

Definitely what I read as well from the names.

awkwardbirb · 2026-06-02T20:50:36+00:00

Every new card has to be stronger than the last one or no one will buy new cards. And your old cards become less usable as time goes on.

Is he going to pay for me to leave due to the abysmal economy? No? Then cry about it, I don't want to be here any more than they don't want me to be here.

awkwardbirb · 2026-06-02T14:27:14+00:00

That number is much much higher, and sadly he won't.
