    the amount of nepotism is insane. If he really is good enough to be in the NBA that's something else, his dad must've trained and shit with him. why name your kid brony though?

    Lost my best friend to trump. He would constantly argue with me back at him. the friendship wasn't sustainable after he traveled across the country to go to the Jan 6th insurrection.

    I told him he was a traitor, but that wasn't before he sent me video of him being there. He called me hurtful names in response. I never turned him in.

    we havent talked since. this was someone i knew for a good part of 26 years

    Been putting hours into Helldivers 2. What a fantastic game, I think my first live service game i've bought. The gameplay loop with killing the bugs feels exactly like what it would be like in the movie Aliens. Not much of a fan of the automatons, takes a lot of headshots to kill them quickly but it's not that big of a deal unless you get overrun with multiple chainsaw wielding bots.

    The game is a master class on how video games need to be. I'm having an absolute blast, im about 40 hours in and just got to act 2. What a freakin game. I'm not surprised other companies are scared. Put your game for early access three years before release with a lot of community feedback and you get yourself what could be the greatest pc game of all time. I know it's I think #1 pc game of all time metacritic
