Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer and diesel fuel go brrrrrrrr.

The Art of Extortion.

This happens every time. You’d think these people could spot a trend.

And it’s intentional. Lay off the workers. Implement AI Slop. Slop does sloppy work. Hire back workers as Temps or Contractors. No benefits. Lower pay.

Like all of Capitalism. It’s a fucking scam. A conjob. A new innovation in fucking over workers. (Ironically the only “innovation” ever directly produced by Capitalism)

Dude just can’t help himself. Gotta open his mouth and dropkick his own throat.

All because he fucked up.

Yakuza 0, kiwami, kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, 4, 5, 6, then 7, then Gaiden, then 8.

Then play Judgement and Lost Judgement. Not part of Yakuza’s core canon. But adjacent.

I’m not a huge fan of Borderlands. I like the stories. But I don’t like the loot goblining. Constant hunt for ever higher damage numbers.

There’s only 1 company I’ll pay $80 for a new game. And that is Ryu Ga Gotoku. Cuz they don’t miss. No bad half finished launches. No bad games. Every game is a masterclass in Peak.

It’s a threat. To your security. To your data. To you in general.

Real Spiderman points at Spiderman moment here.

Live service garbage has costed the industry billions in losses and costed tens of thousands of devs their jobs. Fad chasing in general.

Everyone wants to make the fortnite killer or overwatch killer. They set billions of dollars on fire and get nothing for it. And it’s the devs who pay the price. Not the c-suite dipshits who threw all that money in the fire pit.

Millennium Challenge 2002.

That’s when we learned that low tech can beat high tech in this manner.

Did they learn the lesson at DOD? Of course not. They demoted the guy who won and made him play out a cosplay battle where America Wins!

Here’s a fun little thought experiment. What would an Evangelical Suicide Bomber yell before smashing that detonator button?

We’re all well acquainted with the Islamic version. Cuz racism and propaganda.

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged gave us a hypothetical glimpse at Catholic Suicide Bombers.

What would an Evangelical scream?

Normal Store Citizen behavior.

The absolute slaughter of cops and ice agents that would immediately happen. Like a Thanos snap.

No incentive to comply. No incentive to be taken alive. If they ever get you in cuffs that’s a wrap. You are gone. Whether that’s to an extermination camp in a foreign country. A domestic slave labor camp. Or just beaten to death and thrown in a mass grave like those cops did down south. You are effectively gone. So we have to stop that from happening by any means necessary.

I halfway think that’s what they want. So they can declare martial law. But that just ends in open war.

Since the New Deal the goal of the capitalist class has been a slow crawl back to slavery. Couldnt do it too fast. Had to take it slow.

No taxes for the rich and businesses. No rights for workers. And eventually No pay or choice for them either.

That beyond all the other myriad failures of this country is why I hate it so much and why I long to see it fall.

And it’s all been fully Bipartisan. Republicans advance the goals of oligarchy by leaps. Democrats are the vanguard that protects the rich and the corrupt. They stop all of us from making things better. Social and cultural issues are ephemeral at best. Ultimately unimportant to the oligarchy beyond their utility as a tool of control and coercion. There is no morality involved. There is just greed and corruption.

Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

Increased price should mean increased size and scope of the games in question.

No online game with microtransactions should cost more than $20 at launch.

The Trump regime needed to feel the pain. They don’t care about consumer spending. That isn’t what GovCo cares about. Just look at the state of the domestic economy. The rare earth metals was about impacting the MIC. That’s the sector that matters. And China made it hurt.

Liberals. Do not run this clown in 2028 if you want to win.

Inb4 - All I’m saying is that someone who openly does shit like this during a time of record hardship and homelessness is gonna have an uphill battle. Inb42 - Yes I know the shitheads on the otjer side are worse. Nobody cares. Republicans don’t care. In their addled minds they’re all temporarily embarrassed millionaires and every homeless person personally made the choice to be there cuz God or some other insane bullshit. I’m saying that people on your side do care about this. Not the Brunch Liberals. But your actual base. That you need to win.
