Who exactly is supposed to do the communist revolution? The soldiers arent allowed, they are too evil, the working class isnt allowed, they are all mini hitlers, and the farmers cant either for the same reason. Is the revolution supposed to be entirely college kids?

So if we deport enough 3rd worlders then houses become more affordable?

🚨INDIAN H-1B WORKERS LEAVING TEXAS IN DROVES—HOME PRICES PLUNGE 9%

Trump’s H-1B visa crackdown is triggering a housing bust in Dallas suburbs like Frisco, Celina, and Prosper.

New $100,000 visa fees, higher salary requirements, and state-level freezes on H-1B petitions, combined with AI-driven tech layoffs, have forced many Indian workers to leave the country within 60 days of losing their jobs.

As a result, home prices in Collin County suburbs have dropped nearly 9% year-over-year, builders are stuck with 125 unsold luxury homes, and foreclosures have risen 44%.

[Merk @TrulyAFed]

This is the low estimate btw

[Leading Report @LeadingReport]

Up to 90% of India’s H1B visa applications contain fraudulent information or involve unqualified applicants, a former official tells Newsweek.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: The CIA officer caught with $40 million in gold bars allegedly invented an entire fake top-secret spy program to steal the money.

As if this story couldn't get and wilder:

-David Rush allegedly built a sham "special access program," the blackest box in U.S. intelligence, so secret even top-clearance officials couldn't look inside without authorization

-The fake program posed as "continuity of government" work, the doomsday planning that keeps Washington running after a nuclear war

-He allegedly read in two colleagues as unwitting accomplices and used a made-up government contract to funnel millions, persuading a defense contractor to buy huge amounts of gold

-The FBI raid on his home seized 303 gold bars worth roughly $40 million, $2 million in cash, and 35 luxury watches

-Investigators say he lied about his college degrees, faked being a Navy pilot, and still sailed through the CIA's notoriously brutal vetting

-A judge ordered him held as a flight risk, and several CIA officials are now on leave as the probe widens

The scheme worked because of the system, not in spite of it.

The secrecy walls built to hide operations from China and Russia hid the fraud from the CIA itself.

A man with a fake résumé ran a fake doomsday program inside the most paranoid institution in America, and for years nobody noticed...

This makes me laugh.

“I smoked crack and slept with prostitutes at a cheap motel. I suffered no financial consequences and my dad pardoned me to get me out of legal trouble.

Do I look like I’m part of the elite oligarch class?”

Yes. That’s exactly what it looks like.

Also cautiously optimistic for the star wars xcom
Will need to see more tho
Hopefully its more like xcom type where you lose a guy and just need to accept it and not the gears tactics type where some characters end the game if they die and the rest literally dont matter at all

[Merk @TrulyAFed]

Some of the stuff looked fine but the only game shown that made my eyes bulge out of my head like a looney toon character seeing a hot dame was that Chronicles game
Looked v good and am hopeful for it

Ah yes, the Bovine Defense Force 😌

We could have fixed that cow hide farming exploit in few minutes bonbons, just kill the respawn or drop the price of the hides. But that's not how we roll. Designer's job is to create fun, not delete it. So we added a chort instead. Chort hide is double the price of cow hide, not by a coincidence. We saw you farming, so we raised the stakes.

The whole thing spiraled beautifully: later Bovine Defense Force became a Gwent card (cow leaves the battlefield, chort arrives). And then, we made something special in Hearts of Stone. Taxman Walthemor Mitty shows up at 35K orens and asks Geralt point blank whether he was involved in the wholesale rawhide trade in White Orchard.

This is what game design is for me: don't patch the fun out, find a way how to escalate it, engage with fun dialog with the players, surprise and delight.

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

CD Projekt Red lead quest designer Paweł Sasko once said that a game designer’s job is to create fun, not take it away.

In The Witcher 3, players found a way to make easy money by repeatedly killing cows and selling their hides. Instead of removing the exploit, the developers added a powerful chort monster that would appear if players abused it.

The monster was much harder to defeat, but its hide sold for even more money. This turned a simple exploit into a tougher challenge with better rewards.
