@sarobertson_ Seriously, after 1.5 years of this BS 51st state trolling and now the thorough limp-dick humiliation in Iran, does anybody still cling to the notion that Trump is smart and tough? 🤡

[PixelAdvocatePodcast @PixelAdvocate]

@rhpeer @Mattxduchak @sarobertson_ He’s not wrong though. There is not a shred of good faith being demonstrated from the US. The only “deal” available is pure, outright capitulation to Trump’s fantasy. I suppose you have to pretend not to see this reality so you can unironically wave your “Fuck Carney” flag.

@BeardedSonOfNel Great game. I was getting a fair bit of slowdown, is that normal?

@PixelCNinja Loved this game when it came out but playing it now, it feels like a scam the way your energy just drains no matter what, kind of like Gauntlet. My favorite Rampage game is Total Destruction on PS2/GC/Wii.

@RealEmirHan I’m with Mark on this one. Ep7 leaned so hard into fan service that they basically re-did ANH beat for beat. A short onscreen reunion of the classic crew doesn’t seem like too much to ask against that backdrop.

@JarheadWI @FELibrary_ That picture is from Apollo 8, shit for brains.

@RagingOwlbear My feeling on the changes ranges between indifference and approval for most of them. ROTJ band at Jabba’s is the only one that makes me cringe. On a related note, I always thought some of the most phony-looking FX in the OT were in the Tatooine scenes of ROTJ.

@St1ka Having emus with huge game lists is a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand, choice paralysis is definitely real. On the other, I love just picking random games I’ve never heard of and exploring. To do that, you kinda need that big list.

@Lord_Wompus @XRPee1983 Yeah, how is this a conversation?

Next vs. battle: the battle of the Vettes! Would you rather have:

1) Corvette
2) Chevette

Answer below! 🙄

@EricRStPierre The main driver of current high gas prices is the supply shock caused by the war in Iran, due to a completely predictable response from Iran (SoH closure) that every single administration was able to foresee, except the Trump admin because they’re hamfisted and incompetent.

@uscfan981 WCW and Pro Wrestling were awesome, as was Tecmo World Wrestling. Wrestlemania was flat-out ass

[PixelAdvocatePodcast @PixelAdvocate]

@PixelCNinja Crisis Beat is a great beat-em-up.

@NicoHQ1 If a steak needs sauce to taste good, just eat something else. What a waste. How about we mix our single malt scotch with Diet Pepsi while we’re at it? 😆

@EnglishNoticer2 @gefara777 @UnityNewsNet No internet? I suppose you learned all the brilliant insights you’ve shared on heat transfer and spacecraft comms from Oxford, and got all your memes from the British Library then? 😆

Obviously I know the answer on the battery, that’s how I know you’re wrong and stupid.

[PixelAdvocatePodcast @PixelAdvocate]

@EnglishNoticer2 @gefara777 @UnityNewsNet My god, the hypocrisy of you accusing me of “relying on the internet” when your entire toddler worldview is literally curated and crafted by the internet’s seedy underbelly. 🤦‍♂️

I have a collection of highly detailed Apollo books so I can recommend some to you if you like.

[PixelAdvocatePodcast @PixelAdvocate]

@EnglishNoticer2 @gefara777 @UnityNewsNet Wrong again. Stop being so fucking intellectually lazy. It wasn’t lead-acid. The info is out there, go learn something.

Are you ready to pretend to know something about the physics of subatomic particles? 😆😆😆 Your record so far has been less than confidence-inspiring.

[PixelAdvocatePodcast @PixelAdvocate]

@EnglishNoticer2 @gefara777 @UnityNewsNet Why is lead-acid battery performance relevant if that tech was not used in the way you claim, shit-for-brains? Who’s making stuff up now?

[PixelAdvocatePodcast @PixelAdvocate]

@EnglishNoticer2 @gefara777 @UnityNewsNet 500 swing from day to night. How exactly is that relevant for a daytime-only mission, dunce? Answer this question please.

And it wasn’t lead-acid batteries either, BTW. Swing and a miss, wrong again. You’re nothing if not consistent.
