I'unno, I just fired VS up for a sec and it seemed fine? Sound was stuttery, but I usually play muted so I couldn't tell you if it was like that previously or not (last time I had tried was apparently 2021, heh). Laptop I'm running is only a couple years old, iirc. Seemed to be running okay other than that, though. Might be system specific or somethin'.

It's a fantastic video, but I just had a thought- the cats are drinking milk, right?
I never thought twice about that before, but...

The cats are drinking shots of something milk colored, at least, that's served in something that looks like a old-timey milk bottle (context being what it is, it could easily be a themed white russian or somethin' along those lines) -- the dogs are absolutely drinking something more traditionally booze colored and the donkey/dude has something very strongly implied to be alcoholic by the other video they're in.

But yeah, the cats are 100% drinking something that's supposed to look like milk. It adds an extra layer to the whole thing, what with how cats are lactose intolerant :V

Horizon Gate's pretty fun, imo, but it is very sandbox; what directed plot is there is pretty thin, most of the fun is Sid Meier's Pirates, but magic and SRPG combat. The earlier games by the same dev (Alvora and Voidspire Tactics) get less sandbox/more directed in that order -- HG is an open world, sid meier's pirates style game, alvora is a fairly procedurally built roguelike-y tower climb/dungeon crawl, Voidspire is a fairly straightforward SRPG, little to no procedural content. They're all pretty enjoyable if you're fond of SRPG gameplay -- I've put in a good 200+ hours between the three of them, according to steam. Lot of that was one or another idling in the background, but a lot... wasn't.

Hollow Knights... maybe Valdis Story? It's a metroidvania as well, but the combat is more beat-'em-up, it's pretty neat overall. Baseline difficulty isn't too bad, and while it's explore-y it's pretty directed at any particular point.

The potentially interesting side of it is, well, he didn't just accuse clinton of manipulating the elections. That's stuff from something like half a decade ago, and the shitgibbon hasn't exactly watched their words on that front since. It's not impossible this is just the first of several similar decisions.

When it's Gone - Ben Harper

remix of it that got me to look up the original, 'cause the vocals sounded real damn familiar and I couldn't tell why.

... still not entirely sure where I heard the guy before, though. Somewhere.

I mean, do note that it's vanishingly rare that the systematic destruction of a national or cultural identity doesn't also include quite a lot of murder, even if the primary vehicle of genocide is cultural annihilation. If a nation is banning a language (or stealing an ethnicity's children to put in special schools, or any number of other things of similar intent) you can damn sure bet they're not trying very hard to stop the people that speak it from dying in a ditch somewhere. It pretty much always just "happens" to coincide with a significantly higher fatality rate than less targeted ethnicities.

But yeah, the definition of genocide expanding beyond explicit mass slaughter is a meaning older than every single person on this forum. It's not a new or unusual use case.

To parrot literally the first thing google produced,

Triceratops was an herbivore, existing mostly on shrubs and other plant life. Its beak-like mouth was best suited for grasping and plucking rather than biting, according to a 1996 analysis in the journal Evolution. It also likely used its horns and bulk to tip over taller plants.

Some idle extra checking showed nothing contradicting that in more recent studies. "Basically like" carries a lot of weight, and there's room in that package to go from meatbird to shrubdino.
