No snow here yet, but it's cold enough - the grass outside is gorgeously frosted.

The best game ever is still Starsector, paid :10bux: for it 10 years ago and it's gone from Asteroids to 2D X4.

Gotta get your Fascist vs turbo-Fascist vs Techbro vs Libertarian kicks somehow.

Widely regarded as the hardest boss in a game renowned for having very hard bosses.

Then a bright spark started a gimmick called "Let me solo her" and she turned into a meme.

I was lucky enough to beat her before the Devs nerfed all of the fun stuff in the game.


Was still hard as hell and I only just did it by the skin of my teeth.

To be honest this boss was fun but I wouldn't say the hardest. That's reserved for the cheap final bosses of Elden Ring.

Those made me quit and uninstall the game twice and I only beat them due to trying to exploit bugs for about the hundredth time.

Such an absolute craptastic end to an amazing game.

The best game ever is Blood by Monolith Productions. It came out in 1997 and is best described as an unofficial evil dead duke nukem game

From the brain geniuses who brought you "hound Mermaids and Samaritans into altering their hours to prove that transphobia is over" and "assault RNLI staff to prove that we're not unwelcoming", you won't believe how we've proved that racism is still over!

"demented anti-human policy crisis" would be a good way of putting "we did nothing, in fact the opposite of nothing, to prepare for something that we know happens roughly every 60 years or so, because we wanted to cut taxes and buy yachts and drink champagne while listening to idiots babble about blockchain instead", but that's not what he means at all.

There’s an essential core of neoliberalism that distinguishes it from other capitalism-based political ideologies. It is that _anyone can be upper class if they are simply given enough money_. As always, people naturally act in their own class interests. From that perspective, the amount of money required to ensure all of society’s decision-makers are financially upper classes is entirely affordable.

With the corollary that obviously anyone who suffers, starves and/or dies under neoliberalism brought it on themselves because all they needed to do was work a bit harder to get themselves into that financially-based upper class therefore they were just lazy QED.

Our children arrived (no Pill in those days). We brought them up without any state aid.
And when there were surplus (for we couldn't choose it), we'd just drown the runts and the pigs couldn't prove it.

Isn't "getting carried away" one of the things you want to hear least about a chancellor of the exchequer? Like if you heard that a surgeon had been "freestyling it".

My mum is 75, and thus at university when LSD use was at its peak. My granny died 20 years ago - and she had holidays abroad, carpets and a remote control telly in her council house. This kind of fetish porn poetry seems to romanticise an era from my great grandparents time, pre-war basically. The person writing this must have died at least half a century ago.

Your surgeon "freestyling it" is fine because even in the most carefully planned operation there's a chance for poo poo to hit the fan and you need the guy with knife to know how to improvise.

Your surgeon "getting carried away" on the other hand is when you find he's (almost invariably, a he) autographed his work (your new liver).
