I don’t think she will try to and probably shouldn’t. No one with the power to, will go against the Military industrial complex. It’s political suicide. Unfortunately the MIC is a major source of our current economic health and we will go into a recession without these arms sales. It’s manufactured, disgusting, and been the source of misery the world over for a long time. So as terrible as the situation is, we are currently stuck with no good options for the Gazans. It’s a great shame on America and I agree with the protests, but I also don’t think anything will change without a major shift in our way of life and a major catalyst that will not be fun or peaceful for anyone involved. So we kick the can down the road again and bury our heads in shame.

Fresca.

First time I played Myst in 93, that was mind blowing. I didn’t see that level of graphics for a long time after that.

Also a friend let me play Half-life Alyx when it first released and it seemed to be a monumental shift in what gaming would become….. it wasn’t or hasn’t yet, but it blew my mind at the time.

I will sling some BS for the sport of it. All things in existence are subject and coexist in the same spectrum of frequencies. Our soul is the center band (radio station of sorts) of our collective aura which each individual feels as I. Imagine the Sun as the Major harmonic frequency, Jupiter as the next biggest harmonic stabilizer, earth, the moon, our region, our city, etc. etc. Our minds are a powerful radiator of frequency, the more minds tuned in to the same overtones of society, the more we influence each other and drown out the outlier spikes and chaotic frequency disruptions. When awake, we are more subject to external stimuli, or project our own emotional frequency (like stress) which can lead us to losing the synchronicity. When asleep or trained to enter the proper mental state, we can fall deeply into the rhythm of our subconscious and loose ourselves to the collective and free ourselves of our Makyo (the earthly distractions keeping us from fully submersing our conscious into the noosphere.

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but this song is a masterpiece of horror manifest through audio. In fact the whole album is a piece of art, troubling and dark but so well crafted.

Can you help me find my puppy, I think it went into this cheap hotel room?

I think there is a big piece missing if we want to make lasting change. Protests should be the first part and we have missed many opportunities by skipping the second part. Challenging the legality of the issues in court. The MLK jr. movements were so powerful because they changed the laws. In many cases they “got arrested” on purpose and then challenged the legality of the issues in court with some amazing well armed lawyering. The protests, though important, should only be to stir up public opinion and momentum, followed by a timely well thought out and public challenge to the laws we wish to change. That’s where to orgs should be focusing their energy to capitalize on these fleeting moments.

I don’t work in the industry and I could be way off here. But aren’t some of the developers hired on as a type of contract worker to finish a big game and well aware that if the next project isn’t lined up perfectly, it’s impossible to house that many employees. That’s how our construction industry is. Companies have to hire on and then trim the fat as needed.

I was at around 55 hrs during endgame, which was finishing the main story line after doing most of the side quests. I think I had 1 main base with 10 - 20 buildings and equipment. I was playing on a series S. I am boggled you didn’t have many crashes, I’ve seen hundreds of reports of similar issues when I was trying to figure out what was going on.

Endgame was brutal. It was a 50/50 chance if you paused to save while moving it would crash.

+1 for huckleberries. Especially plucked off the bush in the middle of a PNW alpine hike.

Igorrr is the best metal period, not just French. Very experimental but it goes hard. Imagine Frank Zappa, Aphex Twin and Dead Can Dance writing a metal album and you get Igorrr.
