Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings

6 hours ago 13573 3689 231 268

As a kid I remember having so much fun doing sidequests and random battles that I took forever to get to the midgame - at which point I was already overleveled and overgeared from loot plucked off my foes.

While it's the weakest of the three FFT games, its main flaws are just the incoherence of the law system and the various clan/location systems. That said, these provide good novelty and the game itself is a ton of fun to play.
The story is more personal in stakes than FFT but deeper than it looks.

Again: young people might not realize that this kind of repugnant racism was unacceptable to express publicly, *not that long ago*.

Mario & Luigi: Brothership contains an extremely cute model of a decorative baby penguin that appears only outside the playable area and is never seen up close. Below is a detailed view of the model to appreciate the penguin.

Screw Farfetch'd this is a lategame area Fearow can be dominant

Due to a misunderstanding of the encounter file structure, Ditto swarms in Refined Gold actually haven't done anything, like, ever!
At a tragic cost of 5% Fearow encounters, and willfully accepting the price of 5% extra Farfetch'd, this is fixed and Ditto swarms are now *81%* on Route 47.

Art of a Mii based off of my Autumn avatar, made to celebrate Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream on Nintendo Switch. Mii Autumn is a short nerd girl with frizzly brown hair who wears a suit top consisting of a white dress shirt, a red tie, and black coat, a navy blue frilly skirt with two white lines near the bottom, black translucent thigh highs, black shoes, and black glasses.
This piece is a spread consisting of three poses: 
- Left pose: Mii Autumn is sitting on the edge of her island, looking up to the viewer with her left hand resting on her chest. Grass is visible behind her, and three expression dashes appear to her right.
- Middle pose: Mii Autumn is standing with her left hand on her hip and her right arm resting downwards. An ellipsis ("...") in a speech bubble is right next to her. The background behind her consists of a yellow and orange space with polka dots spread throughout. 
- Right pose: Mii Autumn appears very flustered with her hands near her cheeks, almost as if she found out she had a crush on someone. Several pink hearts flow from her ears like steam, ala a classic cartoon. The background behind her is a pink space with several lines flowing throughout. 

The background behind the spread consists of various shapes in multiple different hues, with blue, orange, and pink taking up the canvas from left to right.

I think as a kid I saw the blue and red and thought it was veins? Tattoos seems likely given it's sort of a "villainous" Vivosaur in its movepool and all that.

Trip was a success. Lots of ammonites, belemnites, bivalves, and a possible pterodactyl bone. Plus more of the mystery black shale texture.

Its not a hot take but man the way the word "content" is used these days. A vile bit of late stage capitalist propaganda, lumping all forms of human creativity and expression into a single wastebin teaching the public to treat all art as disposable.

Black and white photo of five shorthaired tabby kittens playing on the sidewalk and steps in front of a structure of some kind. There is also an adult tabby cat with them.

A screenshot of the bike shop in Cerulean City in HGSS with three Shellos - two East Sea, one West Sea - that aren't normally there. The player is talking to their West Sea Shellos with the caption "SHELLOS is doing its best to keep up with you!"

A wee pink axolotl after she settled herself into her little rock house.

Okay so I got mom-of-the-year for booking the science centre for my kid and 11 of her closest friends. (If you are local it is well worth paying a little extra for after hours!!)

I might need my ear drums replaced though.

Look at this little lady.

AI coding tools make developers slower, study finds : Predicted a 24% boost, but clocked a 19% drag

This article from The Register suggests that coders thought using AI would make them ~25% faster, but in reality they were ~20% slower.
Feeling like something is "doing the work for you" might give a rush, but it doesn't actually seem to improve your abilities.
