I coveted mine (variations of the LUCCA A53) for about seven years before I could manage the funds. It still feels absurd but I can’t argue with the results.

I gave up completely and just bought an espresso machine. Sure it’s gigantic and it and the grinder take up a fuck ton of counter space, but turns out making a latte the way I like it wasn’t that hard to learn.

I would deem this a success. Good work.

This seems like a wrong thing to say.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen you post something that isn’t sexual innuendo.

On a game’s page, it orders them by most-recent first. There’s also a filter query field at the top, but I’m not sure what the syntax for it is and I can’t seem to find information on that, but at least you’ll automatically see the newest ones first.

Oh wait. Is it the initials? My brain got hung up on using parts of the name.

I’ll bite. What?

Affected workers say the shutdown has been a continuation of attacks they have experienced under the Trump administration, from mass firings – many of which have been overturned or blocked in federal courts – to drastic budget cuts, pushes to take early retirements or resignation buyouts, and threats of withholding back pay for workers furloughed during the shutdown.

I mean…no?

This sounds like they did you a solid by not working. I’ll have to look up this genre of shooter, though; not something I’ve heard of before. I tend to be too easily annoyed for anything that isn’t single-player or local co-op these days, although some part of me still remembers some MMOs though rose-colored nostalgia glasses.

When the internet was better, sometimes people just made entertaining things for no particular reason.

I keep waiting for the headline to be something like “Vance slammed face-first into the sidewalk by passersby until he stopped twitching,” but I’m always disappointed.

This may be the first time I haven’t fallen into the subset of “everybody.”

Everything I want to play runs using Linux/proton. It seems like the only things that have trouble are things I’d never consider even installing, let alone running.

Oh, that I did not know about. Sounds even worse.

Thanks for the link, that was a fun read.

I’m guessing that thing from a few months ago where he was scared of gay people in a cartoon.

I mean I don’t think this’ll work, but I don’t really get why anyone is mad about it. It was a little difficult to get used to but not exactly impossible. Seems like harmless fun.

That does sound pretty likely.

My understanding is that humor is a very common coping mechanism — in the face of an abuse of power this absurd, I imagine it’s sometimes all someone has the strength for.

Haven’t played this, but I think Bastion is the first game I remember doing the grandad voice thing. I enjoyed it there, not sure about liking it elsewhere.
