Survival horror is not my cuppa, but Alpha Beta Gamer recorded some gameplay from the demo(?) it for people who like that sort of thing:

[YouTube] Labyrinth of the Demon King - Crunchy Retro-Grim Survival Horror Set in Feudal Japan!

By that point, big tech will have created the Torment Nexus, and half the country take out Klarna loans so they can own the libs with it.

Is this even a meme?

Hermes: Orpheus. Don’t come on too strong.

Seconds later…

Orpheus: Come home with me.
Eurydice: Who are you?
Orpheus: The man who’s gonna marry you.

I wish we had a better name.

When marketing to the “I only read the headline before commenting and sharing” crowd, anti-abortion is a loser compared to pro-life.

Pro-bodily-autonomy doesn’t quite roll off the tongue.

After blowing up the aid trucks.

We did not blow up an aid truck. We blew up terrorists.

After evidence comes out that, yes, it was an aid truck.

Well, they did not properly identify themselves as an aid truck.

Video evidence comes out that they identified themselves on the truck, with their uniforms, and during direct conversation with the soldiers who then killed them anyway.

One of the aid workers was totally a terrorist. He was hiding a bomb in his underpants, we swear!

Everyone knows this is an obvious lie.

And what are you going go do about it? Tweet at us?

Small, local communist Ws would enable more state and national communist Ws.

“Well, that co-op just outside of downtown is doing fine. Molly’s daughter worked there when she was in high school and said it was the best job she ever had. I guess communists can do some things right.”

is an improvement over

“I’ve never met a communist, but I know they’re all stupid and evil. I’m going to vote against anything with the word socialist or communist next to it because [media personality] told me so.”

Serbian prosecutors on May 14 announced that the cultural official in charge of the site’s historic designation had forged a key document and had been arrested. Goran Vasic, the acting director of the Republic Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, admitted he had fabricated an expert’s opinion.

“Vasic forged a proposal for a decision to revoke the status of cultural property,” prosecutors said in a statement.

So they forged a document in order to un-protect the building site?

I’m so glad my Lemmy app has video preview thumbnails.

Who?

I’ve done this. It had the opposite effect.

Shame on Harvey Randall for platforming executive bullshit:

The problem, he puts it, is inflation. Which is an unerringly boring but also correct answer: “We live in contrasting times, where inflation is real and significant, but people expect games that are ever more ambitious and therefore expensive to develop to cost the same. It’s an impossible equation.”

They’re not responding to the expectations of the people; they’re responding to the expectations of their investors.

Is there a Lemmy function to block keywords?

I have never seen a conversation that was made better by this guy being a part of it. Even takedown videos make me feel like the other guy should have better things to do.

Edit: I know it probably wouldn’t have saved me from this post, but figured I’d ask while it was on my mind.

I knew someone would make this joke the first time I saw it on my feed.

Brother went through ego death before writing this:

When the listener submits himself to the beat, he loosens his mind from its moorings in space and time; no longer does he feel a separation between himself and his surroundings. The difficult world of external objects is blurred and unreal; only the inner pulse is real, the beat its outer projection. Earthly worries are submerged in a tide of rising exaltation. Dream and dreamer merge, object and feeling jell: the whole universe is compressed into the medium of the beat, where all things unite and pound forward, rhythmic, regular, not to be denied.

Rock ’n’ roll is the only form in modern music which deliberately seeks these effects and no others. They are also obtainable through jazz, but the soul of jazz is its continual improvisation, which draws on a wide range of moods and which demands the keenest attention. In contrast, rock ’n’ roll dulls the capacity for attention; the steady beat creates instead a kind of hypnotic monotony. Seen in this light, RnR is only the latest in a series of rituals which have existed in many societies for the purpose of inducing mystic ecstasy, usually in connection with religion. One might think not only of African or American Indian drumbeating frenzies but also of the cults of frenzied dancing and shaking which periodically rose up from the main body of European Christianity. In the United States, Negro “gospel music” often creates ecstasy through repeated phrases of enormous energy, and has been more than casually influential in the formation of rock ’n’ roll. Through gospel music, RnR draws directly on both Christian and African cults of rhythmic ecstasy. It should not surprise us then that so many RnR songs celebrate the all-pervasiveness of God.

It was FREE.

But at what cost?

Is this bait? Or a… humblebrag? I don’t know, but this post comes off to me as slightly unserious.

You’ve seriously never had this experience before? You’ve never heard of this behavior before?

You mentioned gender and posted a picture of your 'fit, which tells me that at least you think it had something to do with gender and/or your appearance.

Maybe you’re being totally serious and curious, in which case… I’ve gotten cynical after my years on the internet.
