The American government is not giving Ukraine bags of money. They are giving them weapons. These weapons were made by American companies. All of the money spent on these weapons was either spent years ago, or remains in the American economy. The only thing that is moving is metal, plastic, explosives, etc. Money is being pumped into the defense industry, which you would think would make conservatives happy.

Has Penny Arcade always been this hideous?

Oh wow. A truely stunning achievement for this small indie studio.

You don't think voting demographics would change radically if people could go out and vote on legislation directly instead of a bribed politician voting for them?

Angel Beats if you want to cry while watching highschoolers blow each other away with assault rifles.

Bethesda can't even get ladders working in their engine, and y'all were expecting seamless atmospheric re-entry?

So much of the game is simply infuriating, and I'm not all that far in yet.

The menus are attrocious. It feels like wading through mud every time you try to get to menu. Half of them are locked to what feels like 10fps. You go into the map and it's 37 presses of the tab key to get out, or else use the awkward as fuck hold tab to exit. The inventory menus are a fucking joke. It took two weeks for modders to fix all of Bethesda's UI garbage that they have to fix every time a new game comes out. How is there not an option to sort by value/weight yet?

There's a lot of time wasting crap too. If you want to go to a different planet you have to walk to your ship, go up the ladder and go to the cockpit, watch an animation to sit down in the cockpit, watch a cutscene to take off, open the map, find your planet, set course, watch a cutscene as you jump to the planet, open the map again, find where you want to land, watch a cutscene as you land, get out of your ship. That's a lot of steps. Unskippable cutscenes every time you go somewhere sucks.

The world will only care when millions of climate refugees start moving to cooler areas.

What the world does to those refugees... I don't expect happiness.

Is this an out of season April fools joke?

Fuck Steven Crowder

Am I so ruined by current events that genuine hope sounds like sarcasm?

I hope it helps too.
