Stellaris - The Cosmic Storms Mechanical Expansion is available now
  • No first time player would pay that. The game and DLC go on crazy discount like once a year at least.

    I own a bunch, but not all the DLC and have never paid full price.

    Also they really should update the UI in the game. It would be fantastic to play on modern 4k and similar resolutions where there’s plenty of room for lots of information density.

    JD Vance's Solution to Childcare Crisis? 'Maybe Grandpa or Grandma Wants to Help'
  • This is peak conservative problem solving. They rave about about “the elite democrats” when in fact they’re the elite; they have enough money to where childcare is a non-issue. So when thinking about the problem the idea that parents can’t afford the same care is a foreign concept. Thus, their problem solving is limited to knee-jerk comments like “shrug… maybe grandparents could do it?”

    My wife and I have 2 grandparents between us, they live in different states, and both are still working with bleak retirement plans.

    Future Electric Vehicles: The EVs You'll Soon Be Able to Buy
  • Wish there was more than 2 upcoming van style options. And of both, the VW and Canoo have very opinionated styles. I recently leased an Ionic 5 and it’s a good car but with two car seats the middle seat is pretty much unusable (true of any mid-size suv).

    I moved from California to Texas but only stayed 4 months. Texas isn't much cheaper, and everyone was politics-obsessed.
  • It’s like she somehow traveled to a political future dominated by conservative politics (Texas), hated it, and traveled back. But still gonna vote conservative. Boggles the mind.

    JD Vance Said Usha Was Voting for Hillary—Now She’s Full MAGA
  • Usha was likely never left learning. She, like her husband, is clearly motivated by greed and a desire for power. I would not be surprised if part of the reason she worked at a progressive law firm is because she could take advantage of the firms desire for diversity. She’s ambitious and will play whatever role serves her best. She’s the classic example of a modern day conservative — take advantage of every opportunity then work to strip those opportunities from others to ensure they stay on top; 0 empathy.

    The most well-funded campaign in US history
  • Because he’s the leader of the nation. An essential component of good leadership is the ability to inspire others.

    The fact remains that there is no other option which is shameful.

    [Explicit video] I salute my brother @macklemore using his powerful artistry to tell some painful truths! #TruthJusticeLove
  • Agreed. I’m fucking pissed that Biden has done so little to in the public eye to fix this problem. Now countless young people are going to hand Trump a victory to do even worse. Then what?

    George Washington University encampment...
  • Another day with a similar post about how Biden is single handedly murdering children in Gaza.

    It has to be bots… right? Or bad faith actors.

    Could Biden do more to reduce the suffering in this war, probably. But no one here is point ling out specific executive powers he should be exercising or diplomacy that’s being left on the table. Instead it’s all personal attacks that appear primarily motived to discourage likely democratic voters by drawing lines between their votes and enabling genocide. As if it’s somehow that simple.

    Something something Biden bad
  • If you live in a state that’s not contested, sure vote third party if that makes you feel better. But the reality is that not voting blue in any purple state does benefit the party you are less aligned with. So in the case of a leftist it would benefit republicans. I also would love an alternative to a two party system but in THIS election a vote that benefits republicans is a vote for a 1 party system.

    Fans of Pokémon-inspired MMO Temtem are arguing with the developer about what MMO means after Crema CEO says it's 'not feasible' to keep adding content forever
  • I really enjoyed the game when it was first released in early-access on steam. The ability to play through the story with a friend was unique and fun. Unfortunately the Crema team stopped having innovative ideas and just released their version of Pokémon systems. At the time it was nearly impossible to communicate any negative criticism because of rabid fans on the subreddit and devs who seemed to have no interest in communicating with their player base.

    Fellow home owners, are you ready for the housing market to crash?
  • Except that many people live in their homes until they need assisted living. In which case selling the home nets them more money than they put in to pay for those services. Or consider that home prices raise at different rates in different areas so it’s possible to sell in a hot market and retire to a cheaper area when you no longer benefit from things like proximity great schools as your children are grown.

    Dallas Elected a Longtime Democrat as Mayor, but Now He's Defecting to the Republican Party
  • Republicans being “better” at the economy is a myth. They still sell themselves as the fiscally responsible party but in modern history the economy has grown more under democratic leadership and democrats have taken on less debt (less expansion of the deficit). But despite the data here you are spouting party rhetoric.

    And as far as social agenda… that’s all the modern republican part is, various witch hunts and cancel culture.

    Baldur’s Gate 3 fans have created their own ad-free wiki
  • I really cannot stand fandom sites. It always lacks content so pages are filled with useless information such as links to review sites. Also, it’s an atrocious experience on mobile.

    Friday Facts #375 - Quality
  • Seems interesting to me. However, I agree with some others on the forums that the names for the quality levels are kinda dumb. Would prefer something like the crude, good, excellent, perfect, etc.
