I wish shooting dolphins was legal. It would be a really fun sport.

why are video editors in general so unstable?

Player's HP restores to maximum HP in-between levels.

I'm trying my best to make this game at least beatable. I noticed that because of the random enemy drops and the random nature of the in-game shops, healing is heavily RNG dependent, and you can go multiple levels with very little chance to heal, so I feel like this was necessary.

> People lost friends in their support of Donald Trump.
> People were excommunicated from family in their support for Donald Trump.
> People lost jobs in their support of Donald Trump.
> People went to jail in their support of Donald Trump.

So it looks like the whole Epstein files thing was just a distraction from the GENIUS Act, which plans to implement a CBDC in all but name.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸

I just voted NO on the Rule for the GENIUS Act because it does not include a ban on Central Bank Digital Currency and because Speaker Johnson did not allow us to submit amendments to the GENIUS Act.

Americans do not want a government-controlled Central Bank Digital Currency.

Republicans have a duty to ban CBDC.

President Trump included a ban on CBDC in his January 23rd executive order and Congress must also include the ban on CBDC in the GENIUS Act.

_While You Were Distracted: Trump’s GENIUS Act CBDC Will Allow Government to Punish Vaccine Mandate Refusers by Freezing Bank Accounts_

It's a double-edged sword: What it permits and enables could be targeted at anyone: Illegal immigrants, abortion opponents, ANTIFA members, gun rights advocates, or "enemy" Senators or Congressmen, you name it.

FTA: The GENIUS Act would create a digital dollar, the “Stablecoin,” which would likely eventually replace all cash, and would enable governments to freeze the accounts of anyone declared in violation of “lawful” federal or state executive branch regulations, such as the vaccine mandates passed down in 2021 by the US Department of Health and Human Services.

Trump is doing the exact opposite of what he pledged to an audience soon after he was elected in November 2024. He said he would ban CBDCs – central bank digital currencies – but Stablecoins are in every important respect CBDCs.

Really, until recently, adult games were always games that you had to go out of your way to find. Prior to Steam, they were mostly on shareware sites or purchased via mail-order. Steam banning such games will just bring them back to self-hosting.

Feeling a bit of FOMO from refusing to have a Facebook account for years.
It's weird to ask the fedi about this, but does having a facebook account actually matter in 2025?
Ironically I think Facebook Marketplace is what I'm missing out the most on because many people refuse to use anything else...
