A distraught friend yesterday boiled it down perfectly:

"If we won, we'd be celebrating how many of them would get healthcare, education, or student loans canceled. But they won, and they're celebrating how many of us they get to kill."

Tells the whole story, doesn't it?

I can’t get over the generals, the fucking generals, the most right wing, old timey conservative Republican people on Earth — they ALL said, “Trump is a dangerous fascist. Do not vote for him.”

And these dumbasses simply didn’t listen, didn’t care. And now we all have to pay.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@mike_vasta @ArtofBattletech @MW5Clans I had a similar thought! But then remembered that it doesn’t really enter the Invasion proper until after the Year of Peace. The Fire Moth though…. Still waiting for that one in either Clans or MWO.

@Chris_C_Lowrey @DLooseDesign The attention to detail on them is beautiful. Doubly so when the original line art are some of the only images we have of these machines. To still be able to identify them is impressive. Much love to all the artists working on MW5: Clans.

We need a plan for when MAGA tries to close down urban polling places with bomb threats on Election Day.

women in gaming spaces should be treated better.

32/ Here's the scary thing, that I think tells us a lot about America: the same independent/Democratic voters who casually say "WGAF" about a possible Trump-Loomer affair would call for Harris to end her campaign if she were having an analogous affair. We're that type of country.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@einherjarvalk Absolutely! The response to CGL’s Community Guidelines should have been a wake up call to many, but instead got spun into this “who’s the real fascist” argument. It’s one thing to razz a friend, a whole other to say hateful things to a rando.

@samikatplays It is very solo-able but it is very long, feels like two exotic missions stapled together or a mini dungeon depending on your enjoyment of it. I’m torn on if it’s too long. It’s fun, the mechanic is fun and the mid mission boss fight was a good challenge.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@SneakyBeaver I think he’s looking for the old YAS build, but that’s been nerfed down. And a really obnoxious way to ask for it…..

[Jessie Earl @jessiegender]

I want to shake every studio executive and say “STOP TRYING TO APPEASE BIGOTS! THEIR LITERAL JOB IS GENERATE ANGER AT YOU! THEYLL DO IT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO SO WHY NOT JUST MAKE INTERESTING ART!”

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@petexnasty @AscendantNomad Brings that issue front and center in a competitive environment. That’s a recipe for high stress and frustration.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@petexnasty @AscendantNomad Fair and valid critiques! And in these cases a looser SBMM would be a reasonable adjustment for that skill bracket. I’m not sure if there is a way to track “Meta usage” as a metric when it comes to matchmaking. At a certain point, gamers optimize the fun out of a game, and PvP

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@tha_rami I swear. Every single test of SBMM for player retention and quality of games show that it is healthier for the game and community. Every. Single. Time.

Conversations can be had about how strict it needs to be, but some form of it needs to be in place for matchmaking.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

62/ I’ve said this in other threads but want to repeat it: if Harris is the nominee you must be prepared for...

The. Most. Openly. Racist. And Misogynistic. Presidential. Campaign. In American History.

I can’t emphasize this enough: it’ll be wall-to-wall *vile* racism/misogyny.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

41/

(9) Donald Trump runs best against women and minorities, because he’s an *expert* at finding ways to stoke racism and misogyny among white voters (and even some nonwhite voters) who do not *perceive* themselves to have latent racist and/or misogynistic views. This is a fact.

[ry @ntItcblvd]

i hope people understand if tr*mp wins, he will legitimately fuck with rights a woman has to her body, LGBTQ+ rights, climate change, & so much more. nobody is safe and i need everyone to wake the fuck up and vote if you want to make a change. project 2025 will fuck us all.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@TristanSnell It’s only a lose-lose if he and his fascists respected women and PoC in the slightest. Trolls like him and his ilk don’t give two shits about what the other side says, accuracy doesn’t matter, facts don’t matter. If they do not respect you, they’ll say “I won” and believe it.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@silvxs12 It’s SKT1 vs Samsung White in the World Finals. Day before the match Faker announces his retirement effective immediately.

[Talgehurst @talgehurst]

@erikmbaker What are you on about? That was their ask a year ago for the primary. Did you not see AoC speak less than a week ago saying he needs to stay? Especially as the DNC has no plan.
