jaaake,

Bastille Day is next weekend. I think that’s enough time to order and assemble a guillotine. IKEA has those, right?

jaaake,

That blunt hand is fake, but they look stoned in the original photo as well.

jaaake,

100% we need better candidates. 100% democrats suck. 100% Biden should stop supplying Israel.

But also. At this point, the literal only chance we have against Trump getting back into the White House is to vote Biden. Trump ALSO SUPPORTS GENOCIDE. Not just that, but about a thousand other things that will destabilize THE ENTIRE WORLD. Even ignoring all of his domestic policies and the fact that he has already shown that he will do everything in his power to become a lifetime dictator, he is on the wrong side of every international dispute. He supports Russia over Ukraine, he supports China over Taiwan, he supports North Korea over Japan, he supports any dictator that says they’ll give him money or power.

This post wasn’t about Biden’s support of genocide, it was about the democrats finally growing some fucking balls and speaking truth about how insane it is that half the country doesn’t believe Trump has ever done anything wrong.

Don’t become a single issue voter. Do I agree with Biden? Not on A LOT of things. But he has done a great deal to unfuck what Trump did to the economy last time. He has gotten student debt forgiven, despite facing pushback and rollbacks multiple times. But look at the alternative. Do you remember what it was like under Trump? I live in a time zone 3 hours off from DC. Every morning I would wake up and read about some new idiotic thing the leader of our country did or said. We should continue to push Biden on Israel, absolutely, but we don’t have the threat of not voting for him. Pretending that we do is likely to lead to voter apathy, which puts our entire nation in danger. Biden is not the lesser of two evils, he’s the evil that is going to ensure that we have the chance to vote for someone else in 4 years.

There’s a dodge meter now that shows you how many dodges each character has left

jaaake,

So the assumption is that they took the game down for almost a year, changed nothing, and are putting it back up?

jaaake,

The fact that it is gonna be live action is what concerns me the most. I hope it’s live action in the style of the Netflix One Piece series and not the Bob Hoskin’s Super Mario Bros film.

jaaake,

I realize this isn’t actually going to happen, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around this dude’s train of thought.

It seems like “You want to protest the killing of these people? How about you go live in the area where the killings are happening!”

Does he think that will change their minds? Like, upon arriving in Gaza, these protesters will realize the errors of their ways and agree that genocide is the best option?

Is he trying to get the protestors killed by the very thing they’re protesting? That’ll teach them!

Does he not think that there is anything happening in Gaza and he wants to show them that it is actually a safe and lovely place?

Ignoring the logistics of the proposal, and accepting that this lawmaker has the viewpoint that the protesters should not be protesting, I still fail to understand what the desired outcome is and why this person thinks this is a fitting response. Like, this dude went through the trouble of writing this up and talking to people about it. Does he realize this makes no sense and he just wants to get his name in circulation by proposing nonsense?

jaaake,

Ahhhh, the old “If you love that inanimate object so much, why don’t you marry it?” response. This playground reaction tracks pretty well with my understanding of major party politics. Goddamn, I miss the days when the masks were still on and policies on both sides of the aisle still had some redeeming qualities.

jaaake,

stair correction

At this point, why would you want that double height step when walking to the bathroom from the hallway?

jaaake,

All the other bands are just shit

jaaake,

Knowledge bomb time!

This is Robert Budd Dwyer, a Pennsylvania politician who committed suicide during a live press conference in 1987. This photo is from that press conference, the trombone has been photoshopped over the gun he used.

R. Budd Dwyer suicide

For the 90s musical connection, this incident was the inspiration for Filter’s song “Hey Man Nice Shot.”

jaaake,

It is, but it’s sold out. They’re a bunch of other weird shit on the site, but the cigarette is the best.

jaaake,

Here’s the scene. Also not sure what that dudes point was.

What adventure games do you recommend?

pretty much the title. i have played most of sierra, lucasarts and telltale catalogues so if you are suggesting one of their games i’ve probably already played it. it doesn’t have to be a copycat, homage or in the same style as these companies’ games either, just that it must satisfy the vague definition of being an...

jaaake,

Comedy is an important part of Point & Click games for me. If anyone has other suggestions, I’d love to hear them.
