Ben Pack was on the Jeff Gerstmann podcast a couple weeks ago, and it was a good ep.

I didn't even look at the specific date until now, I'm exactly 2 months older than him.

That's crazy.

Russia labels LGBT as Extremist

Just a reminder. This is what Mike Johnson wants. This is what all Republicans want. And this is what we stand to 'gain' if we allow Donald Trump to win in 2024. I'm hearing too many people say "BIDEN SUCKS ON PALESTINE!" yeah, no shit he does. Do you really think Trump is going to be better? No, he's going to be far worse for Palestine. Does it suck that these are our options? Absolutely. But until we eradicate the Republican party into irrelevance, these are going to be our choices. Refusing to choose is still a choice, and it's not a good one. Because eventually we won't even be allowed to have different opinions. The trend toward a christofascist america is what any other Republican president will usher. Because it's what the Republicans want.

None of what you said is wrong, but if you dont at least threaten to withhold your vote youre saying dont listen to anything I ask, because you have my vote no matter what.

Its on the party to earn votes. If they lose, we all suffer, but especially the at risk groups, and its their fault.

Still no response from my last reply :(

Friday at like 3 am I got a reply from Steam support saying they would be able to send a replacement, and asked if I had a different address I'd like it sent to.

I replied asking for a signature on delivery, and mentioned they could deliver it to my work if they need a new address.

The person replied on Sunday and said they can't add a special request like signature delivery, but to submit my work address.

I replied saying I don't want it sent to my work without a signature lol, and to go ahead and send it to my house again, and this time I'll be ready to receive it personally.

They haven't responded yet. So I think I'm getting a replacement, but the timeframe of their replies is very strange.

I guess we can agree to...agree?

Israel is acting dumb and laughable, AND they are dehumanizing Palestinians and Hamas.

That is not even close to a "Hitler wasn't that bad" and trying to summarize it in that way is intentionally misleading. Not that the truth is any better, because what he is saying is a "Hamas is worse than Hitler". Those are two completely different sentiments and it is important to distinguish the two particularly with what Israel's current strategy is.

The War Room statement should have filled you in that this isn't in a vacuum lol.

I'm sorry, but there's not much reason to distinguish between "Nazis had some redeeming features compared to irredeemable Hamas" and "Hitler wasn't so bad."

There have been multiple a shocking number of people in the government, in media, and influencers who have literally tweeted things like "The Nazis at least thought they were doing good, while Hamas knows and revels in evil" and "Nazis had shame, Hamas brags about their acts."

I tried searching for them, but I suspect many have been deleted.

I did find this one: https://twitter.com/BarbaraRKay/status/1728059676707684423?s=20

Israel made a fake website that the official Israel and IDF Twitter accounts are claiming was created BY Hamas, and it says comically evil things like Our mission is to trick people into support Islam and has testimonials from supposed Hamas fighters with literal headshots and overlaid text like I love to hear Israeli screams, especially the women and children.

https://twitter.com/lenaarkad/status/1728006777180959069?s=46&t=v9nzYLLBIiNYrqldFs9NWQ

If you need evidence that its fake, the website is hosted and created by Wix, an Israeli company that publicly fired employees for supporting Palestine.

Why would they agree to host Hamas official website? Lmao

I got this as my "delivery verification", but nothing was there when I got home :|

No, I never went for her because I was morally opposed to destroy for awhile.

I may change my mind.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/5e040726.jpgAhhhhhhhhHhhjHhhhHhhh

I had 2 spotlights and got neither of the two I wanted, Im so annoyed

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7b93dd99.jpg

Im on this absolutely infuriating streak.

No less than 10 matches in a row, using a deck with 5 1 and 2 cost cards (BOTH Nebula and Sunspot), I dont draw a card I can play until Turn 3.

Is the shuffler broken? What the hell is happening?

MacArrowny posted...

You can, though once your whole front line's dead it's replaced with the back line automatically.

Thats not really optional, its more you can choose to replace them now or later.

I suppose you could houserule a restart when your first party is down, but its not the same.

MacArrowny posted...

This part's optional. You can leave the dead party member with you if you prefer.

Can you?

Unless I missed it, the RPGSite.com review doesnt say that, and they call it out as a major negative.

Yeah, that's exactly it.

You can swap party members out mid battle now, like FFX (which is neat).

But also, when someone dies, they're replaced with one of your people on the bench, and it doesn't appear the game was balanced around you having 66% more party members during battle.

Ok the unavoidable automatic party swap thing sounds weird.

Why did they do that?

I'm excited to play it, but the text boxes are still absolutely terrible.

Like 60% blank space, it's totally baffling.

Sike I got it, and I shouldnt have but yeah

Had the limited edition in my cart, got to the payment screen and kept getting errors until eventually it was sold out

Why do you think it looks like shit? It looks fun.

Yeah, angry extremists (created, cultivated, and supported by Israel btw) tend to do that, eventually.

As far as "being forced into killing innocent civilians", we were in Afghanistan for 20 years, estimates of 4.5 MILLION people being killed in the region due to our activities in Iraq + Afghanistan, and literally the Taliban took control of the country the second we left.

You don't eliminate insurgent extremists by killing civilians, that's how you get them.

Seanchan posted...

Yeah, when I listened to MBMBaM, the live episodes were always the worst ones.

Totally, there was nothing worse than when Travis got a good reaction and decided to speak over everyone else until the joke was dead.

This looks sooooooo bad, lmao

Just so we're clear and don't go off on a tangent, Hamas is not good, I condemn the deaths of all innocent people, but when we look at the "scoreboard", Israel is much, much worse.

Obellisk posted...

Yes it's awful what Hamas has done to the innocent Palestinians.

Literal abuse language, absolute garbage.

Israel has killed multiple orders of magnitude more Palestinians than Hamas has killed Israelis.

Meanwhile they keep getting caught making up dumbass lies every day to trick numbskulls into dehumanizing an entire people and being ok with ethnic cleansing. Good job!

I had 2 keys and just want Gladiator, I already have Mirage and Loki, but I pulled once anyway.

Got a Modok dupe, aka 1000 tokens.

Fuck.

Gladiator seems really fun, but I already have Mirage/Loki with cool variants for each, so I don't know if I can risk my 2 spotlights on not getting him.

The new textbox looks terrible.

Since when do Snowguard's Bear and Hawk cost 3? Considering the Bear doesn't fucking work on like 90% of locations, that's a huge nerf.

I made it to 79 6/7 yesterday morning.

Dropped down to 75 by the end of the night.

If there was a faster way to report somebody I wouldve reported this guy so hard. He lost match 1 in conquest because he had Mystique copy Devil Dinosaur into a lane I had Echo in and then he was the pettiest goddamn baby. He intentionally didnt play a single card any of the rounds after and made the timer drag out as long as possible til he finally lost all his points. What a loser

Yeah I had the same thing happen to me, and the worst part is I won an 8 cube in the first round and even dragging out ever turn he managed to beat me 3 times T_T

The frustration and boredom of waiting for the turns to end caused mistakes, lol.

I love GTA, I will be glad to play a new one.

Sometimes, a little car convo and driving on your way to shoot guys can be a nice way to spend some time. When GTA Online 2 comes out, I hope they don't put any cell phone shit in it, I just wanted to run around with friends, not have my phone constantly ringing for useless calls to do boring side activities.

Here are the 22 Democrats who voted to censure Tlaib:

Absolute murderers row of dogshit Democrats.

How ironic it is that Dems are holding on because of GOP zealotry towards abortion. Hopefully theyll drum up some more juicy nightmare fuel for 2024 to keep Joe from getting cooked.

Ms Marvel + Namor/Orka with Odin to send back Goblins and Killmonger to kill onsies like rocks and squirrels seems extremely viable right now.

Decided to play a Hazmat Deck in Conquest, came up against a Galactus deck, and in five rounds where he sent Hobgoblin my way every time, I didn't draw Odin once lol.

man that remix of fight against monsters ain't good

Yeah it doesnt punch at all??

With my Kitty/Elsa/Angela deck, I have lost by 1 point like 5 times now, which means those nerfs are directly responsible if just one was 1 point higher.

9-ish?

A bunch of people at Extra Life, then a handful at Shads house for board game nights. I dont want to count it out because Ill forget someone and feel bad.

Werewolf at 2/1 would be good value.

I just had the most unfair Conquest match ever. Final match of Gold, Deaths Domain AND Rickety bridge showed up multiple times each, and of course the opponent was running X-23/Wolverine/Nimrod destroy.

hell yeah

Cerebro 2 just can't hang anymore tbh, it used to be my favorite deck, especially because you could actually get a genuinely game-winning M'Baku, which is the funniest thing ever.

You catch it and are instantly crushed by undersea pressure.

That nerf to Wave makes no sense, there's basically no counter to bounce anymore.

If Nico turns cards into demons they can still keep their abilities too. Not sure about all of them, but she turned Forge into a Demon and he still gave +2 to the next card I played. Today I learned Shadow King does fuck all to Knull though. He was a random draw from a location and I lost, but now I know

She turns them after their effect.
