it’s a lot more fast paced than Valheim. You can fast travel back to your bases from anywhere, no matter what you are holding, and there are a lot of traversal options for getting around the world, including a legit wingsuit. I’d say it leans more into RPG gameplay tropes than Valheim does, which is definitely not a bad thing depending on what you’re into.

overall, it sort of feels like Valheim and Far Cry had a baby.

    Says it all, really:

    An Associated Press analysis in July found that Trump had approved more than three-quarters of the requests from states that voted for him in the 2024 election but less than half the requests from states that did not.

    Trump may be personally immune from prosecution, but no one underneath him is. Anyone flouting the judge's order to restore access could be held in contempt, potentially all the way down to whoever is physically blocking them at the entrance. So let’s not say there’s nothing that can be done.

    Edit: I should also mention that as of this edit, it appears that access has been restored by the White House.

    Oh look, it's happening again.

    1. Trump spouts bullshit
    2. Trump demands toadies act on his bullshit
    3. Reality fails to comform to said bullshit
    4. Trump throws a tantrum and blames the toady
    5. Trump fires toady and brings in an even toadier toady

    Technically true, but not practically. If you have a case so weak that you can't even get a grand jury to get to 'probable cause' on the first try, there's not a snowball's chance in hell of a guilty verdict at trial. You generally don't see the govt. making multiple runs at grand jury presentation.

    Not surprising, and a good move by Hearn's attorneys. The Trump DOJ has already established a terrible track record for improperly presenting cases to grand juries, and given how much of a reach even charging this guy is, I would almost expect the DOJ attorneys involved to have 'finessed' the grand jury presentation to secure an indictment on such thin evidence.

    Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

    More or less sums it up:

    On Monday afternoon, Trump told reporters it was a “350-foot slit from one end to the other.”

    “I saw it. They cut it. They cut it very violently,” he said.

    When a reporter asked to see photos, Trump said, “You’ll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the parks department, call the Department of Interior.”

    The National Park Service, U.S. Park Police and Interior Department did not immediately respond to requests from NBC News.

    I'll be watching to see how quickly the cases against these 'vandals' fall apart.

    Imagine being arrested and charged with a felony because a geriatric narcissist is too far gone to admit his cronies did a shit job:

    One man arrested was David Hearn, 67, of Bethesda, Maryland, who owned a company that made composite used to build watercraft. He said he stopped by the pool during his 64-mile bike ride Friday to see what was going on.

    Hearn, a former Olympic canoe racer, told The Associated Press that he reached into the pool because he wanted to examine the peeling new coating. He said he briefly touched a chunk that was still attached to the side of the pool, then let go shortly after a park worker told him to.

    But, Hearn said, he was then detained by National Guard troops and Park Police for five hours before being released Friday night.

    OK. So some asshole shoots up a local politician's house, while he and his eight year old son are inside. Something that:

    • Has only increased support for said politician
    • Has strengthened his resolve to support said data center
    • Will inevitably be used as evidence that anti-AI people are nuts
    • Could easily have ended in the murder of a child, because, again, he was in the house this person indiscriminately fired into

    And the reaction here is 'good?'

    If you honestly believe this way, you have been dangerously radicalized. Get help before you hurt someone.
