It’s also worth noting that each frame is an opportunity for player inputs to be registered by the game, so for any sort of game where tight reactions are an important part of gameplay (which is many – particularly fighting and other competitive games), higher framerate can directly translate to more responsive controls.
I can always tell that these developments are coming from China, even without reading the article and even if it’s not in the headline. Then I read the article, it says “in China,” and I’m like 
that’s right.
Sucks there’s no site to see reviews of IDF soldiers they’ve killed in Lebanon.
I was going to express sympathy for having to serve in a chud government, but reading the comments and learning she’s a zionist causes me to lose all sympathy, and I am now eager to laugh at her misery.
Wendy Hoopes voiced three separate roles on that show: Jane Lane (pictured), Quinn (Daria’s sister) and Daria’s mother Helen.
I looked it up recently because I thought she might also be the voice for Poison Ivy in the Harley Quinn animated series (they have similar voices and cadences to my ear), but no, that’s Lake Bell.
You’ve got three busses: one takes you half way home
I wish the democrats were even that useful. The analogy is broken immediately.
I’ve been watching some episodes of the old '90s Batman and Superman animated series, and I’d like to specifically recommend the Superman episode The Late Mr. Kent.
It ends with a cop being executed in a fucking gas chamber
I hate nintendo so much.
It takes material progress to facilitate for social progress. Thinking of LGBT rights in the US, they were basically total shit “until” the late 90s and 2000s saw some significant improvements (not too long after trying to kill as many as possible by deliberately mishandling the AIDS crisis under Reagan), and are now at risk again as various flavors of gay panic are returning – material conditions get shittier and people look for scapegoats.
Likewise, I think when material conditions improve, they are under less stress and have less reason to create these antipathies in the first place.
Digimon World is fun vibes when things are actually going, but a huge part of the game is training your digimon, which involves sitting and just watching them do repetitive stuff for long periods of time (getting punched by a gigantic boxing glove to level defense, sitting under a waterfall to level focus or whatever the stats were, etc).
You might be doing that for a very long while, only for your digimon to evolve into a literal giant turd.
If you get a good champion evolution you can start breaking out into the broader world, which is actually pretty fun. The game has great vibes, and a fun gameplay loop of journeying out of the main village to find lost villagers and send them back, which in turn upgrades the village (residents return and open up shops or provide special services).
But it always suffers from having to go back to that damn training grounds for long stretches. Maybe if there’s a modded PC version that solves that problem, that would be best.
My core memory of Digimon World is being excited when my digimon evolves, just for it to turn into the shit-eating slug (numemon I think?), or the giant yellow shit-monster that also eats shit.
Historian Mark Tauger’s review of Applebaum’s book Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine:
What a piece of shit. He could have said nothing at all and come across better.
Fits with my assessment of modern democrats being essentially Bush-era neocons but “woke.”
Democrats basically became gay George W. Bush.
I think it’s China, there were pictures of their fancy shooting team outfits posted here a few days ago.
I might be misremembering Hillary’s reaction, but didn’t she just sort of act like a dog having a thermometer jammed up its ass? I think saying anything at all is probably a real improvement.
How much is supporting a genocidal apartheid state worth? 
… and? Anything to say about the causes of that anger?
