Film podcast bros in shambles

I prefer it when games set up the bad guy at the start, and then you spend the next 60 hours finding missing frying pans.

The other day I told a barista I was reading Patrick Stewarts autobiography and they didn't know who that was. Time makes a fool of us all!

Democratic operatives are still blaming "the groups" for things Biden and Democratic politicians do lol The exact opposite of "the buck stops here." When Biden - the most powerful man on earth - does something bad the person to blame is the ACLU intern who sent an email

If Obama magically became President tomorrow and announced he was doing Trump's tariffs the next PodSave podcast would be about how tariffs are smart and will work. This sort of ideology is "cohesive" in that it's not a political ideology at all, it's purely team sports.

Cohesive? This guy bemoaned Trump's border "concentration camps" until he found out that they were actually Obama camps, at which point he changed his argument to that concentration camps are cool and necessary. His political identity is "suckup" that's it.

Everyone nerd should be forced to watch the High School Reunion episode of 30 Rock.

The way Twitter is now you can see this message from "Vuyrix" and, based on 5 letters, accurately predict what his entire feed (and Steam profile) is like. These guys love to call other people NPCs but they're all the same person, and without a single original thought among them.

This is partially a "rubber meets the road" problem, where loud leftists voices tend to be well-off guys with jobs like "podcaster" and "blogger" who don't want their property value lowered or their lake view obscured.

It's honestly interesting (and informative) to dig into guys like Matt Darling and realize they hold make-work positions where they aren't expected to actually *do* anything, and just spend all day LARPing as econ experts on social media.

On paper "let's start fresh and make stuff that kicks ass" sounds great. The problem is that in reality this often turns into "let's start fresh and ship something kinda messed up", and Unity's recent track record of new major features is pretty bad.

Unity has a lot of C-suite level problems but it also has a lot of engineering-level problems, or, C-suite issues that manifest themselves as engineering-level problems.

If I were CEO of Unity I would have trouble getting behind back-compat breaking changes knowing that the recent features my teams had shipped mostly sucked. You can't break with with bad new features that you'll have to break from again in 2 years....

(It's a semi-cancellable post block flourish, more or less)

Maybe done to prevent animation jitter - like if someone is mashing fast attacks or you quickly go in and out of attack range. Instead of rapidly swapping from blocking to non-blocking pose you stay in it which looks nicer.

In modern games attacks often have animation flourishes towards the end that you can cancel with input - this is similar but for the blocking animation, and is more restrictive about what cancels it.

Someone who speaks Japanese please reply and say that these numbers are different from blockstun, they specify a window *after* blockstun where you maintain the blocking pose, and from that pose can do certain things like super-jump but can't walk. (Something like that...)

Cormac McCarthy for head of Housing and Urban Development. He fits the single qualification.

When people ask politicians pertinent questions, and those politicians give terrible answers, it's the fault of the asker? These guys are totally lost - confused flailing.
