If memory serves they used something water soluble, didn’t they?

I'm gonna beat the user with a ball-peen hammer

Also I hate having to pretend I don’t mostly just loathe moderate, non-politically engaged people for having the system revolve around them despite being oblivious jackasses and massive liabilities

I hate how society gives you a bunch of reasons to hate it then acts all aghast when you hate it.

Nick Fuentes hires worst hired goons ever seen, asked to leave club

Yeah, it's interesting. I was just kind of a RationalWiki type then so I already kind of broke left, mostly just seems like it's some of the bigger figures that broke right?

I hear TJ ended up leaning more into the left politics. Not sure about that, though, haven't really thought of the guy in a while.

yeah, I probably shouldn't be posting while irritated at people

Oh, "They" being the right

It's a shame a lot of the NuAtheists ended up breaking right because I can relate with wanting to irritate the shit out of these people at every possible opportunity

He's got better politics than I'd expect of a host of a broadcast TV show on a major network, but he's not really anyone I care that much about either. I don't really watch TV, and (more importantly) these personalities have expiration dates. At one point I liked Colbert but he became quaint in the face of Chapo; eventually Chapo themselves became quaint as a broader swath of podcasts did the things they did better. Eventually they too will become quaint as my interests move elsewhere and i crave increasingly outwardly belligerent media.

Seibu Kaihatsu's Dynamite Duke (1989), a pretty novel hybrid Cabal-like/Beat-'em-up with a lot of love put into it. The arcade version's got a pretty slick art direction, the environmental destruction vfx rock, and the animation's pretty slick. The whole thing's got that passion project charm to it. Unfortunately, Cabal clones were only really in vogue in that late '80s/early '90s space, and the beat 'em up gameplay isn't fleshed out or consistently applied enough to be satisfying in a post-Final Fight, post-Streets of Rage world. I'd like to see something like it, but there's no way to bring Duke into the world of modern game design practices without drastic reformulation at a minimum.

Notably, Seibu had really high hopes for Duke, being a passion project and a intended magnum opus. Unfortunately, lukewarm reception brought in poor returns, the company slipped into dire straits, and they were forced to make something simpler and lower stakes as a hail mary. That title - a simple, Toaplan-esque shooter nobody had any real faith in - turned out to be Raiden, which would become a darling in arcades, pushing 17,000 units solds worldwide in the first year after release, and becoming the fifth highest grosser on the Japanese market in 1991. (Beating out some offerings from much bigger players like Konami)
