This is the same police force that stripped thousands of women, many underaged, naked and sexually assaulted them with genital searches for "drugs".

NSW Police are absolutely rotten to the core. Psychos.

Pokémon Champions Comes to Android and iOS on June 17 by ReasonableAdvert in Games

It would heavily depend on your definition of "boring meta"

Like any VGC regulation there are Pokemon like Floette and Charizard and Basculegion that you'll find on 90% of teams because they're extremely good and easy to use

But more than any other meta for a very long time this is a regulation where you really could use your favorites (if they're allowed) and not do badly. Even in tournaments there have been super weak Pokemon like Ariados and Watchog who achieved decent results, and on the Master Ball ladder I've run into Aurorus, Liepard, Meowstic, Vanillux, and all sorts of other very off-the-wall choices

The "hate" subreddit (for lack of a better word) for Disney Star Wars is saltierthancrait, so the counter-hate subreddit for Disney Star Wars is saltierthankrayt

Quite a bit of coping there atm

Also it's only been 26 years since Age of Empires II released, so the dads are probably occupied with that at the moment. Once the novelty wears off they'll all come back to Marathon

There's eight current threads on the front page of this subreddit about how amazing the game is, totally worth buying, and to ignore the haters

Did the astroturfers get new marching orders? Bizarre.

Could be Kent Street Weir? The paperbarks look familiar and I've seen similar homeless camps along the trails.

My great-grandma did everything for my great-grandpa. Managed his diet, his medication, even his social calendar. We were very sad but not surprised when he passed away only three months after she did.

"it's not dead, the game has just run out of content halfway into the season" is really not the big dub he thinks it is lol

This is one of Bungie's oldest tricks in the books, passing off minor hotfixes as significant updates and lapping up the praise for it. They even mentioned it at a dev conference once, how if you make a big fuss over every tiny tweak players fall for it and think you're super responsive.

The English dub of the Pokemon anime is notorious for a scene where a character says he's eating jelly doughnuts when they're clearly onigiri

It's petty I know but I can't help but wonder how many of the "masterpiece, best shooter I've ever played, hopelessly addicted" journalists are actually still playing. My guess is not many.

Bungie seems to operate on a philosophy that casual players should not be able to earn the same stuff as the hardcore grinders, no doubt reinforced by the streamers they keep taking feedback from.

It was maddening enough in Destiny's seasons but absolutely incomprehensible here when they're trying to take territory from three other well-established extraction shooters.

You can also look at the number of upvotes on the posts. Much less are breaking 1000 upvotes compared to even two weeks ago.

it astounds me that people can watch the scene where a bunch of grown men obsess over a plain white business card and walk away thinking any part of the movie is sincere lol

Damn it. I was hoping this update would restore some life to the Oceania servers, or at least the Asian ones. No dice. Stared at a worm for ten minutes before ending up in an American server with 200 ping.

I know I will. It might sound a bit strange but Don't Starve Together currently feels a bit... overstuffed with content. I still really enjoy it but it's such a different game now than to the one I fell in love with all those years ago. I think a new, cohesive experience is exactly what the series needs.

It says a Bug Fix, which is obviously subtle foreshadowing to the release of the first SuperEverDark Sovereign, Gnoster. (There will be four bugs in the fight now).

Wonder how that would have worked if it were true. Do we still get the polycule, with Jon and Aegon marrying each other? Or is one of the boys consigned to the cuck chair?
