There’s a fire starting in your ship
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bringing 'em out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go 'head and crash land and I’ll strip your saucer bare

See how I leave with every piece of it
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and its bringing me out the dark

The scars and gore remind me of war
They keep me thinking that we almost lost it all
The holes in my suit they leave me breathless, I can’t help feeling

We could have had it all
Terror from the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it to the beat

It can’t be a universal thing for all birds, but budgies feel safer if there’s some ambient noise; it indicates that there isn’t a predator around that needs to be avoided. Silence means danger.

"This is a coordinated political effort to Islamify Texas, and you’ve got to say it, you’ve got to mean it, you’ve got to push the Legislature to pass laws,” U.S. Rep. Chip Roy, who is also running for attorney general, said in an interview with Steve Bannon. “We’ve got to tweak the Texas Constitution. Whatever’s necessary to protect Texas from being Islamified by the radical Marxists.”

Chip is a profoundly evil man who wants to enforce White Christian Nationalism. He isn’t as stupid as this quote meant for his constituency, he knows Texas isn’t going to be “Islamified;” he just knows that his base is that stupid: they’re motivated by racism and forcing their religion on others.

And the worst part is that he’s right.

Guitar, bass, ukulele, and renaissance lute. They’re all fairly similarly tuned, so there’s some skill transfer among them. Guitar is my strongest instrument, I’ve been playing that for about 30 years.

I play a bit of hand percussion, too.

I also play soprano and tenor recorder, they’re good to know for early music and tuned the same except an octave apart. I’m decent enough at them, and they’re especially fun when played in a consort. I picked them up about 4 years ago now.

Everyone who likes couch co-op should play this one. It’s fantastic.

That does sound interesting, kind of like you build your own class. I’ll check it out, thanks!

There’s no shortage of dipshits in the world who see machismo posturing and threats as a projection of power.

They think they’re safe from the reactionary tide because they fly the same colors, but the thing about fascists is that they always eat their own.

Granted this one got bit sooner than most, but I guarantee he’s not going to stop being a reactionary chud.

I’d love another good hero shooter after Overwatch shit the bed, and Rivals doesn’t really do it for me.

It’s been my favorite multiplayer genre since Quake World Team Fortress.

This could use a tonguebath, and you’re apparently ready to go:

Cool, I didn’t know there was an open-source alternative. Thanks!

Not a console, but PICO-8 can be installed on lots of stuff and uses lua.

He also fled the scene after.

Greg Abbott hates the big cities. We shouldn’t be giving tax breaks to multinational conglomerates anyway; they should be paying their fair share in taxes instead of leeching off of working families like the parasites they are.

We should be breaking up monopolies like we used to, not letting them exploit our economies.

Fuck AT&T and fuck Old Greg.

The mirror universe.

Your agonizer, please.

I did indeed dream about looting last night. I’m having a blast with the game so far; it’s got a really addictive loop.

Yeah, those graphics are kind of crazy for the GBC.

You could get hired as a consultant for a state-of-the-art zoo.

I hope they used practical effects in this game. That’s where his work really shines in my opinion.

I like this version of Gaudete.
