No, that’s a stew. A coup is a long procession that’s waiting for something.

It’s well-deserved confidence. The game alone would have been intriguing with just the sheer amount of choice that’s available, but the fact that it’s all excellently voiced is icing on the truly delicious cake. It’s one of those games that probably will only keep your attention for one or two full playthroughs, but those playthroughs will definitely be different for every person. If you want to give it a shot during the Summer Sale, you can finish at least the first part of a playthrough well under the refund time for Steam, in case it’s not your kind of game.

They’re pretty much only in line with the people who like his humor, but SsethTzeentach has some funny ones.

It was, for most of the movie, absolutely not a good time, but that was exactly the vibe they were going for. It’s cringey, anxiety-inducing, and in a lot of parts like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Definitely worth seeing, but probably not one I’d rewatch in a heartbeat.

If I had to guess, he’s drawing parallels between Newman and Cruise’s careers. The Hustler was the first of several films Newman made in a short period of time that marketed him as a hero. It wasn’t his first Oscar nomination, but it did earn him one.

The Sting was a huge box-office success Newman was in after a bunch of flops, and helped bring him back into the spotlight.

The Color of Money finally earned Newman an Oscar, and it was reprising the same character he played in The Hustler after 25 years. You can definitely see parallels there between him and Cruise with Top Gun (36 years between it and the sequel), and weirdly enough Cruise is also in The Color of Money.

All of this is just going off checking Wikipedia, so it could be wrong. Gluons are a type of particle that can have nine different “color states” depending on the quarks and anti-quarks that comprise them (despite the name, it has nothing to do with literal color). These states are made up of red, green, and blue for quarks, and anti-red, anti-green, and anti-blue for anti-quarks. Depending on the combinations of quarks and anti-quarks, the color state of gluons listed something like “red-antigreen” as “rg”, with the “g” having a line over it to show it’s anti-green, not green. Since you can have a color matched with the anti-version of its color, like I said earlier, you get 9 potential color states.

Then, of those 9 color states, you have combinations of two gluons of different types of states that combine. If you have a strong, stable version of this state, it’s called a color state singlet. Particles like protons have this state, and it allows them to interact with other particles that also have color singlets. However, gluons can’t interact at long range, that means they also can’t hold a color singlet.

So, that leaves 8 potential color state couplets that can be formed. I have no idea why there’s only 8 valid arrangements of those 9 couplets that aren’t a stable singlet, but apparently you can only get 8.

Also tagging @Owl@mander.xyz because I don’t think they’d get notified.

Edit: Sorry for the reply after it got answered. There was nothing when I started and it just took a while to figure it out.

That’s kind of Ninja Theory’s thing. Heavenly Sword was boring to play, but had an interesting premise. Enslaved was literally planned to be a movie and had the gameplay added on after that. The only game of theirs that I can think of that had good gameplay was DmC: Devil May Cry, and the story was absolute garbage. I don’t know why anyone would pick up a game from them when their track record is so lopsided.

If you mean the one that has 40 new puzzles and new story content, that’s a mod, and doesn’t have Valve’s involvement.

I played these games for the story. The campaigns used to be pretty solid, with good action and a lot of good moments. I’m not saying they’re excellent still, but Modern Warfare had both the nuke and “All Ghillied Up” sequences, Modern Warfare 2 had the up-until-then relatively unexplored front of the United States and the “No Russian” missions, I was genuinely interested in Advanced Warfare’s story, and if you want to go really far back, CoD 2 had some excellent missions that really nailed the scope of battles in WWII. A big part of the reason that Titanfall 2’s campaign was so highly praised was because they had the talent behind Call of Duty’s campaigns working on it. I’m not saying the multiplayer is any small part of the game, but there’s at least some subset of people who played it for the campaign.

HEY IS IT THIS ONE MFR?!

I genuinely enjoyed Arkham Knight, but those mandatory Batmobile sections are easily the most miserable part of the game. If we had those for an entire game, it might not be too bad, but most of the time you just end up using it to get from point A to point B. If you can put up with being stuck for a bit on those sections, you might enjoy it.

Its big issue is that it has to follow up on Arkham City. It’s not a bad game by any stretch, but it’s following up to one of the best superhero games out there. If you’re not invested in the story, there’s no harm in dropping it. Play something you’ll have fun with.

Normally I’d expect to see this stuff on !curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works

You should just be able to go into the comment section, then click the image from there. Doesn’t matter if it’s empty, but it’s currently the only workaround other than what you mentioned.

I absolutely appreciate all the work done recently, but I was wondering if there was any chance we could get thumbnails that, when clicked, don’t have ?thumbnail=1500&format=webp appended to them. For some posts, it doesn’t make a difference, but for longer posts, or posts with smaller text, it makes the image blurry unless you click into the post comments, and select the image there. It feels like a needless extra step when trying to open an image.

I’d love it if clicking on the thumbnail of an image opened the raw image, instead of the compressed view, so instead I have to go into the post and click the image there for full resolution. It’s especially noticeable for larger images with small text.

You can get past the black screen by deleting the config file in the game’s appdata. After that, it’ll launch, you’ll apply settings, and you’ll get stuck on the “Defrosting Helldiver” screen because you can’t access a server, and be stuck with a black screen the next time you launch. I’m having so much fun.

Long Live by Atreyu, though it feels kind of like cheating. They went on hiatus after leaning toward more casual songs with the two albums before, and came back five years later with an excellent album that made people think they were back to their roots. And then they started trending towards the more popular stuff again.

I could definitely see that. I heavily disagree with you on the self-titled album just being okay, but as for a creative peak, it kind of feels like they’ve been phoning it in after Nightmare. There’s excellent songs on all the albums, but Nightmare was the last one where it felt that the majority of the tracks were ones where you really didn’t want to skip.

Wow, I entirely forgot that Devour existed until just now. It blew my teenage mind when I first heard it. I also forgot how much I hated that every single store seemed to be playing The Crow and the Butterfly when you walked in.

Vermin Supreme is a real person.
