Summary of Luke Cage’s changes in the patch notes. It reads: [Old] 3/2 - Ongoing: Your cards can't have their Power reduced. [New] 2/2 - Ongoing: Your front-row cards can't have their Power reduced. We'll include this in the nerfs bucket even though in reality it is somewhere between a nerf and a re-work as a future facing change. Luke Cage has long been a dominant force in his specific role, and we're taking a step today to reduce his coverage and make him a more strategic card. We've found it more and more difficult to prop up Afflict strategies as well as create any Afflict strategy that can compete with the Luke Cage + Hazmat combo. We also know that he is very popular amongst the Cerebro crowd and wanted to make sure he still had applications for fans of that deck.

A screenshot of the webpages Firefox recommends upon bootup under the header "Popular Today." Pictured are two headlines: the first is next to a picture of a baby that reads "My sister-in-law is going to permanently disable her child. She won't heed my warnings. I'm so worried." Next to that is a picture of a young girl rolling her eyes with a couple embracing behind her next to the head line "My doughter did something to her stepmom that landed her in the ER. I can't say I'm not secretly pleased."

My post from earlier this year that reads,”video games were a short lived entertainment medium popular from ~1970 - ~2025”
We have been testing the game more than 100 playing hours. We created a game to enjoy. So, we also continuously play it. Current version is completely bug free and last version. But, if a problem occurs, we will update it.
The "I can excuse racism but I draw the line at animal cruelty" meme from Community except captioned "I can excuse the reactionary slant of the algorithm on the CSAM generating social emdia site owned by a mass murdering white supremacist, but I draw the line at making fun of my name"
BlueSky post that reads, “Who knew it would be so controversial on here to say Farage is a worse choice for PM than Burnham.”
"In other words, until now, every company has simply done its best within the technical limitations of the previous generation. However, next-generation technology—Unreal Engine 6—will overcome these limits. We expect that by simply launching the Fortnite launcher, users will be able to expand into countless independent virtual worlds, and each company providing content will operate its services independently. Ultimately, we aim for an era where independent businesses can thrive, free from a structure where a single monopoly controls what is created or extracts revenue in the form of fees."
However, with UE6’s aforementioned cross-game social link, users will be able to “form parties via voice chatting with friends in Game B while connected to Game A, and encourage them to try a new game.” Additionally, he considers that being able to bring over rare items from one game to another will give players an even stronger economic incentive to try out new releases.
“Users tend to enjoy games with their actual friend groups, and it is nearly impossible to move that entire group of friends from an existing game to a completely new one. Only the massive mega-hits that appear once every few years succeed in this community migration. This is the decisive reason why many multiplayer new releases have failed one after another recently. Users have already formed solid human networks in Fortnite, Call of Duty, Counter Strike, and Apex Legends; there is no reason to leave friends behind and go to a new game alone,” he says.

Screenshot of a post that reads: “Blank Abe @theblankgeneration.bs... • 1h I'd like to hear about what's going on around stopping arrests of our neighbors, rather than protesters, but I guess that's me.” The quoted tweet reads: “talia jane @taliajane.bsky.s... • 3h As attention around Delaney Hall fades, aggression by feds & Geo Group kicks up: Last night, Geo Group drove thru area where demonstrators were, running over a mini pool. ICE also shot pepper bullets, doused people in mace. Today, ICE violently arrested 1, again shot pepper, sprayed.”

NVidia advertisements running while I install new drivers. This one is for "Summer of RTX," a promotional event where... I guess they want people to play RTX games and tweet about it and win prizes, or something? Look Nvidia could give less than a shit about video games these days.

A list of languages supported by Gatekeeper Simulator: Inner Circle, a title that has a *lot* of text all rendered on its in-game iPad. The image only contains about half the possible languages, starting with "Albanian" and through through to "Maori." Among the languages this game supports are Igbo, Hindi, Hebrew, Dari, Bosnian, and Malay. It's a very worldly video game.
