Yeah it’s an incredibly beautiful game considering it was made in the late 80s probably by like 5 people. I was always drawn to how gross the levels looked as a kid, but it was the era of a lot of kids stuff being all weird and gross looking. Like garbage pail kids and shit like that

So I’m old, but there’s this NES game called Abadox that my brother and I played growing up. It was an insanely hard shooter that scrolled horizontally and vertically. You’re inside some sort of alien body zooming around killing shit, but also some paths will dead end and you just die if you go the wrong way so you gotta memorize (or hand draw) the maps. One hit kills you and you lose all upgrades, so sometimes continuing becomes impossible because the enemies are too hard without upgrades.

I used to have nightmares about this game

Everyone knows only rightwingers identify as helicopters so this is clearly their fault

It would be so funny if Elon did a coup

I mean, the middle of the river is generally considered the border. All I’m pointing out here is that California isn’t really importing water if they’re getting it from a river that is at least partially part of California

Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I’m genuinely confused. Everything I’m looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn’t really “importing” it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.

The Colorado River is in California, though? Obviously not all of it, but part of it.

A better version of this would use Zhang Taofeng, but no one would get it

The Nazis were/are part of the West so it’s not destroyed just under new leadership

So we basically need to convince libs to build a kind of dual power via local government? That’s pretty much what Lenin was saying in 1917, but it wasn’t necessarily local vs national gov for them. I think it would work very similarly tho

Where does it come from? I’m pretty sure most water used in California is already in California. Do they import water?

Idk if these technically count as survival, but Satisfactory and No Man’s Sky are both great. Ark has probably changed a lot since I played it, but I loved it once I found a good server

This story seems to play out a lot with the US govt. Likely due to the lack of any real long-term planning.

1. Oh no China is taking some of our control over X
2. Do nothing for a while
3. Scramble to stop China from completely taking over X
4. Waste billions on propaganda, cost everyone money via tariffs, sanctions, bans, etc
5. Realize it was never going to work and give up
6. Do nothing for a while
7. Start at step 1 again

Without looking into it at all, I can almost promise you it’s “the jews”

They’re probably worried about people trying to help Luigi

Seems like it would be way more useful and accurate to just have a bunch of participants interact with a blog or something as a “focus group” and have trigger warnings that let them skip an article if they want to. Ask them to view a certain number and explain skipping is fine. Then after, ask some questions about their triggers and see what lines up. Did people who report certain triggers skip those articles? Seems like an easy way to set this study up and actually test if trigger warnings are useful. Would be even better if you could include people in the study who have documented triggers, but that’s a lot harder to manage
