The stander is Donald Trump (US president), the croucher is Keir Starmer (UK prime minister)

I tutor kids in math. The other day one of them was like “hey, what’s 58 + 9 again?”, and I, like the rube I am, answered the question

I can’t tell if I hate six seven or if it’s the funniest meme to have ever existed

I assume so, tbh. But it’s cool, Ezra Klein said Eliezer is worth listening to, and Ezra Klein is always right, as we all know

Eliezer Yudkowsky is the best thinker in a generation and everything he says in his new book is absolutely, 100% true, we should all be terrified of the superintelligence that LLMs are going to turn into at some point in the extremely near future.

Biscuits isn’t saying you support Trump. Biscuits is saying that joke feels like a joke a Trump supporter would tell. And I have to agree. It’s not a funny joke, it’s not a good joke, it would make me think less of someone if they told it to me as though it’s funny.

You’ve basically got it! Your complaints are shared entirely by hbomb. He also draws parallels to other terrible shows that had Moffatt as showrunner (the shittiest Doctor Who episodes and a terrible Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde show that everyone mercifully forgot about)

Ah fair enough! I’ll skip NES Metroid then! (Thanks for saying it, I have a bad habit of wanting to always start with the first title in a series, even if that’s a really bad idea)

Yeah, there’s zero reason not to try the old metroids and castlevanias. I will play Super Metroid

Edit: I feel bad about how pissy my comment is. Ori (and soma) are my gaming sore spots, but I really need to let that go, because who gives a fuck? They’re games I spent too much time with and still ended up hating, but other people like them and that’s fine, I don’t have to be an asshole every time either one is brought up, I know I like games that other people hate, that comes with being humans with different tastes and life experiences

There is no world where Ori is better than Hollow Knight. I despised Ori and the Blind Forest. I hated its story, I hated its movement (I probably could have gotten used to that), I hated its combat (apparently even Ori likers agree that combat is bad), I hated its art style, I hated its map, I hated how checkpoints and healing worked, I hated everything about it. There is nothing good about Ori and the Blind Forest in my mind, and I’m still grumpy, years later, that I spent so much of my time trying to like it.

I think it’s possible I actually don’t like metroidvanias, I just like whatever the fuck Hollow Knight is. True, I’ve never played a Castlevania or Metroid game, so I can’t really say until I do so, but if you, a person who likes metroidvanias, think that Ori and the Blind Forest was a better metroidvania than Hollow Knight, then yeah, I’m not sure I like metroidvanias.

Absolutely! Let’s do it! Sounds like a great idea

Oh no! Something must have gone wrong! Are you sure you said the incantation correctly?

Holy shit you turned into a spider!! I don’t think you’re ok at all!
