When even the most ardent Jones fan has to admit it's not incompetence but malice.

I have the HUD display the current level like how it is displayed in Super Mario Bros as it does a better job explaining which environment you are in and how far are you from the next boss.

I've also decreased the intervals for when bombs explode. I did a full playthrough of the game and I realized that the later enemies that are only killed by bombs are extremely hard to kill due to the long interval, so I cut the interval by half.

Milton Friedman supporting UBI, kind of hilarious in $current_year context where the lines are really sharp and polarized (clipped from a much longer video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z6YTyvCxRY ).

Dumb question: Why do you have to change the oil filter every oil change?

Is there something it's actually picking up? AFAIK the oil needs to be changed because of sludge and acid buildup, and the filter only traps grit and metal shavings. But if you have enough grit and metal shavings to actually clog the filter, your engine is already toast.

Anyone know anything about this?

Since the federal court ruling that fluoridation “poses an unreasonable risk to human health,” 64 communities, serving water to approximately 28,454,829 people have ended, suspended, or prevented water fluoridation!

#TheFediFiles 11 is back with perhaps the most infamous guest in ALL of Fedi: @ube or as you may have known her, Maija!

Do I even need to sell a Maija episode? Kicked off of over 109 instances, denies the existence of Russia, and... a racoon story (not to mention the Faggot Tourney top seed). Maija's fediverse history is something of legend, and that legend will be codified on this very special episode of The Fedi Files!

Stream starts at 8 Eastern 7 Central this Sunday the 8th. Don't miss it!

I've bit crushed the death whirl sound effect, but I can't make it sound like an SNES sound effect. It honestly sounds more like the compressed voice sound effects you would hear in 80s arcade games.

Oh yes... Use the magic term to make sure noone knows if you're talking about free trade, banks, stock market or literally any other from +200 definitions of that term.

How did we go from starting a revolution over a tax on tea to collectively shrugging our shoulders when the government locks us in our homes, keeps us from seeing our families and arbitrarily closes our small businesses?

Public Call for DarkMod Beta Testing, "The Last Night in Stonemarket"

After a long year of tinkering and slaving over a hot DarkRadiant, I'm finally ready to start public beta testing of my new Dark Mod Fan Mission, "The Last Night in Stonemarket":

https://share.anon-kenkai.com/threepenny2.html

It's is a much bigger and more ambitious map than my first outing, and I'm sure it's in desperate need of outside eyes to help find and quash bugs. I'm mainly coordinating beta testing over at https://forums.thedarkmod.com/ , but if anybody plays DarkMod and wants to do some testing "out of band" over here, please feel free. I'd be happy to respond to feedback here.
