tear it all down
A new study found that 35 major corporations paid their execs MORE than what they paid in federal income taxes between 2018 and 2022. Each of the companies generated billions of dollars in profit over the same period. When I say the system is rigged for the rich, this is what I mean.
Growing.
currently on my first play through. hot take half life 2 is pretty good. can't take any of it seriously because of all the gmod idiot box I watched in high school but it's cool to see how much later games tried to learn from it
And the game is currently Free on Steam for everyone to keep if you get it by the 18th. If you've never played HL2, now's the time. Or maybe wait until the update drops tomorrow. Up to you.
Seriously. Go. RIGHT FUCKING NOW, SOLDIER! THAT'S AN ORDER!
god I love this game. the soundtrack is sick as hell DnB and the dopamine of breaking through to a new cavern is unmatched. a real gem of old Lego games before they all became reskin collectathon slop
It's quite clever really. Snails are famously quite slow. But in this case, the snail is fast. So fast, that it is able to participate in car races.
yoooo! I rolled Dromad Trader for Sheba! this run is gonna be sick. also, Trash Diviner is my new favourite skill. Never knew i wanted to RP a wise old trash-wizard til i had it.
another person has self-immolated in protest of the ongoing genocide happening in Palestine. his name is Matt Nelson, he self-immolated in front of the Israeli consulate in Boston, he is the 5th known person to have done this. Before he did this, he stated his intentions and reasoning in a Youtube video which has been reposted across several platforms and the condensed transcription is as following:
“My name is Matt Nelson and I'm about to engage in an extreme act of protest. We are all culpable in the ongoing genocide in Gaza […] We are slaves to capitalism and the military industrial complex. Most of us are too apathetic to care. The protest I'm about to engage in is a call to our government to stop suppling Israel with the money and weapons it uses to imprison and murder innocent Palestinians, to pressure Israel to end the genocide in Gaza, and to support the ICC indictment of Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli government […] A democracy is supposed to serve the will of the people, not the interests of the wealthy. Take the power back. Free Palestine.”
Remember his face, remember his name. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸
Cracticus, my True Kin Praetorian had a new and very brief archnemesis - who I've nicknamed Refracticus. The chaos of friendly clones is enough (thankyou, four unique Temporal Fugue-granting items in a row), when they're out to get you it gets really spicy:
my favourite excerpts from this log are: "Refracted Cracticus attempts to conk you on the head" "You fall asleep" (amid Evil Twins, explosions and energy beams) and of course the final grenade smacking into me for zero damage in what I can only imagine as a certified Looney Tunes moment before the 89 explosion damage smears my cybernetics and other, less awesome innards on the walls. I am so into this game. I'm being all annoying irl to people about it. if you haven't yet and you read this far, PLAY IT! this shit is cash! Sun and Moon! Positively Quetzal!
I need this as an automatic response or something
love this. reblogging for reference - if nothing else, I'm capable of writing a short campaign around the idea. 🦇🧛🧛♀️
I know I’ve said this before but vampires
don’t show up on camera
can fly/scale walls
immune to bullets
can break into any safe by turning into fog or some bullshit
could probably hypnotize security guards as needed
therefore I am in dire need of a heist film where a group of vampires band together to steal back their old stuff from museums
