‘batch transfer to the cloud’

hmm today I will pavlov my employees to associate their families with abnormally-high levels of stress. nothing bad will happen as a result of this

glad I fell off MHA 200 chapters ago, ending doesn’t pass the smell test on a cursory glance

too expensive

It’s really great. My personal favorite game of 2024 thus far, narrowly beating out Balatro

The politics of the game are all-but-explicitly socialist. I don’t want to spoil anything or even any of the little bits because I was genuinely caught off-guard in a good way and don’t want to deny that to others so you’re just going to have to trust me here?

Switch performance is jank–no two ways about it. It’s definitely unoptimized. They seem to have fixed the game-breaking/softlocking glitches on it (as I am currently making a friend couch-play it for my entertainment), but you are going to notice lag, I’m not going to sugarcoat it.

oh my fucking god I forgot about Bill Maher. sub him in for Nick Fuentes and that circle becomes ten times more insufferable if nothing else

Now, the best circle in my opinion—without including leftists/left-adjacents or comedians to challenge myself on it—Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, George Santos, Eric Adams. Genuinely depraved people, but they have beautiful minds. Three of four have the personality of an alcoholic aunt which is the optimum candidate for an interesting experience in any social game, and three of four are wholly self-absorbed compulsive liars to an unhinged degree which adds a certain je ne sais quoi to any experience.

Destiny, Aimee Therese, Elon Musk, Nick Fuentes.

Four different miniature spheres of influence, but fundamentally the same caricatures.

In my experience, the absolute worst people to play CAH with are self-styled edgelords who think they’re in their element. This circle would amount to the equivalent of four of the white kids who would show /r/ImGoingToHellForThis posts to other white kids at school and meekly whimper out a “d-do you get it?” when even white suburbanites feel unnaturally irradiated by the manifest Hitler particles.

they made us play this as a class in my synagogue’s sunday school.

my parents also had a copy on their 2009 macbook since they work for the synagogue part-time and I remember almost exclusively choosing palestine when I booted it up, though i don’t exactly remember why as I was pretty indoctrinated at the time

[pulling Iran aside] you’ve got to understand, they’re a little guy. They’re just a little guy. It’s also their birthday. They’re a little birthday boy.

it’s really funny to be federated with an instance that we’ve banned the admins of and I want to maintain the bit for as long as possible because they’re the only abject toxic actors that there’s an actual conundrum dealing with on the site, and they’re dealt with, so unless they pull some bullshit with socks/targetted fuckery through some abuse of federation which would get them seen as a bad actor not just on hexbear, it’s not a problem. No matter what, the outcome is funny and/or pathetic.

also love that part of the tide shift on this is people realizing how funny the current situation is

Still love the truck tho

Another Crab’s Treasure, ocean-themed sardonic eco-conscious Souls-like/3D Platformer that just came out. I’ve been absolutely loving it thus far. might not be comfy, but it’s definitely cute (and has basically ecoterrorism).
