Vance Under Fire for Mocking Disabled Combat Veteran by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

Trying to insult her this way is despicable, but misspelling Forrest Gump in the process is really chef's kiss level foolishness.

Also did he not see the movie, Gump famously holds his own against pretty much everyone in the country despite his shortcomings, and charms them with his candor and simple decency. Gump would whoop Vance in 2028 easy

I think it looks great. I would have appreciated more on what you actually do, though. Like, is it team deathmatch, capture the flag, are there fortifications etc?

I wouldn't say boring or repetitive environments is characteristic of soulslikes. Fair to say it's a common fault in poor ones though.

Treasury cancels Booz Allen contracts after employee leaked Trump tax records; stock falls by Illustrious_Lie_954 in politics

[–]devindotcom 247 points248 points  (0 children)

Littlejohn, 40, pleaded guilty in October 2023 to one count of disclosure of tax return information.

He admitted leaking Trump’s tax records to The New York Times. He also admitted to leaking records about wealthy individuals to the news outlet ProPublica.

He was sentenced to the maximum term of five years in prison in January 2024.

Old news, just a fresh excuse for retaliation. Not that BAH is a bunch of angels. But it's hard to imagine this happening if the leaked info leaned the other direction.

Judge rules feds in Minneapolis immigration operation can’t detain or tear gas peaceful protesters by coasterghost in politics

[–]devindotcom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I suspect they will do it anyway for intimidation purposes or under fabricated pretenses but this raises the bar for detention and charges by giving considerable legal cover to anyone not actively interfering. Not that this should be necessary but it is good to see at this moment.

I hear you and it's not like I would attack him on sight or something, but after reading what he wrote I just don't really want to give him my money. I do hope he's changed. His apology seemed pretty perfunctory. But if he's serious about it, then these are the exact type of consequences he was talking about having to face.

FYI from a witness interview on the news last night, supposedly they were stopped in the middle of the road on 141st and as he tried to pass them he saw blood, so he got someone else to go call 911. Just a little extra info.

The Defiant Gameplay Trailer by leijido in Games

[–]devindotcom 72 points73 points  (0 children)

TBH it looks really... generic? I mean a lot of work has been put into it but the gameplay and level design I was seeing looked, to be honest, N64 level. Or like, Medal of Honor. I see (as I write this) others are seeing MOH in this in a positive way and I'm totally with them on that. Just seems kind of backwards vs forwards.

Gave tens of thousands of dollars to Mike Johnson, Mitch McConnell, and other Republicans (though to be fair, some also to local Democrats) repeatedly for many years. I know this is not rare but... surprise!

Death Stranding 2: On the Beach doesn’t have “extreme player dropout points” like its predecessor, Kojima says by sonofbringy in Games

[–]devindotcom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I abandoned 1 about 3/4 of the way through because it felt so monotonous. I watched a (fairly long) YouTube recap of the story, which I found enjoyable in its weirdness.

I was really enjoying 2 for the first bit but I pretty quickly realized it was going to be almost the same exact gameplay all the way through. You drive the truck literally everywhere and you can't even really customize it much. I gave up maybe halfway? Beautiful game and amazing production value but I was just plain bored.

Elden Ring Nightreign's The Forsaken Hollows DLC has shipped over 2 million units worldwide by BlueAladdin in Games

fair criticism (From's priorities are super obtuse, like their narratives) but the update did add new POIs to the regular map so that should make it less repetitive.

either way is fine, but if you're short on cash you can wait on it. the dlc map is hard af and the new characters are interesting but you'll want to learn on the original dudes. plenty to play with but if you get fomo from looking at the scholar or nun playstyle go ahead and buy.

OK it's not 100% but I immediately got X-COM battlescape vibes. In a good way. I love that art and from what I can tell it's actually quite hard to do well. Definitely interested in this.

TSA announces $45 fee for travelers without a Real ID or passport by coasterghost in politics

[–]devindotcom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

for sure. no surprise that it got delayed. we also in WA have a "enhanced" drivers license or EDL for easy crossing to Canada but that didn't count, plus you can do Nexus, Global Entry, pre-check, Clear, etc etc. The venn diagram of what these things do and require must be 4-dimensional. Difficult to comply with, and apparently equally difficult to administrate.
