Apparently those sections are actually more for players to understand they are entering a different area and are not (primarily) used as a loading screen

@kirkhamilton.com your theory is everywhere

it is also important and different that the pope is from Chicago, which has endless fighting resources dating back millennia

5 stars for performance is an amazing touch

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.

This is a serious escalation.

I’m actually hoping it happens when his book about being catholic comes out (but I hope it doesn’t do shit for sales)

And Yknow what this is beautiful

This pope is the first pope to have seen his reflection in the Bean.

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?

just a wild country

The data is “they lose money and influence if these progressives win”

lol GTA V sold 5 million copies in 2025

I’m playing RE9 and idk I think it’s weird there’s back to back releases from Capcom where the little girl don’t have shoes

When plan your day(s) around eating pizza for dinner

what a glorious time capsule of this broken moment we are in

A flyer depicting Mario shaking hands with a Soviet military official. SUPER POWERS REACH EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT. Nintendo of America Inc. and Elorg, the Soviet Foreign Trade Association, are proud to announce a worldwide exclusive licensing agreement to market Tetris,* the exciting new home video game designed by Soviet computer wiz, Alexey L. Pazhitnov. No other company in the world is now, nor has ever been, licensed to market the Tetris home video game. We at Nintendo are proud of this first-of-its-kind licensing agreement with the Soviet Union. We're very excited about the potential of Tetris to become a major success. Tetris is surely a game with strong appeal for Nintendo Entertainment System® players of all ages. We intend to support this belief with a marketing/advertising plan guaranteed to generate high levels of awareness and even higher levels of sales.

Bluesky is broken, post Soviet Mario

This isn’t a hot take anymore and all the spaces are safe for this

Wait is this like a diy that sucks in dust/particles in the air for a room?

No yeah that makes sense. I guess it may have been attributed to the whole “Nintendo does game dev differently” mantra

Was there a major issue that caused a culture shift in Nintendo when it comes to crunch? My impression is that it’s generally to be avoided within Nintendo at least within the last decade+

Wasn’t it like the park district that fumbled the bag on this?

Yeah I’d say get an used air especially a more current one. You’d get more ram and it’ll handle video for a long time

SEAN EVANS: As you tackle the fires of Da Bomb, a two-part question as a Chicagoan and a Pope: one, who wins a best-of-7 between the '05 White Sox and '16 Cubs, and two, as part of the Nostra Aetate dogma of Vatican II--

THE POPE: (coughing) fuck!

SEAN EVANS: careful around your eyes Your Holiness

If you’re looking for more cost effective for a more powerful computer, many a used MacBook pro or air that’s an M-series. The Neo will be alright but that 8gb ram won’t hold up in like 4-5 years

I love the implication that she was right and a war criminal lol

Both

Yes yes yes yes yes. I’m even annoyed about the (20xx) versions in place of the originals. Tho I’d imagine it’s cause of royalties and dues but still smh

A student set a goal to run every street in Chicago and inspired a city. Now he must leave the country. Joabe Barbosa, who is earning his doctoral degree in psychology from Roosevelt University, plans to finish his yearlong journey to traverse the city by foot on June 14.

This is sad
