Heh, I was half-way to posting that m'self. Latest I've been hearing is the guy's being speculated to have fled the country. Fucked up all around, it is.

@FD's quoted stuff: ... also, it's peanut butter and jelly. Even when it is made with jam, most americans are going to call it peanut butter and jelly. If you're going to make the joke, at least get the terminology right :-\

And yeah, the air thing. From what I understand, it's not exactly the most unusual thing... odder is perhaps no one else got in on it at that scale, yet. China has some hella' skank air in places. Strange though it may seem, buying some air that won't kill you from someone else is attractive under those circumstances.

It's... not really shoehorning? Hinduism has an explicit mechanism (so to speak) for that belief, and the abrahamic religions have trinitarianism (which is by and large just the hinduism bit writ small and exclusionary, something that can easily be claimed as mistaken in scope) from christianity and a god of many forms and many messengers regardless. Saying Vishnu, YWHW, Buddha, and so on, are all expressions of the same entity/concept/thing makes about as much sense as anything theological. You can easily say that the abrahamic god(s) are just another divine expression of the brahman (which, shit, they more or less are according to hindu metaphysics), or that Vishnu and co. are just another sort of burning bush and/or angel and/or prophet and/or etc., etc., etc.

About the only thing meaningfully contradicting the stance is some of the holy texts occasionally saying otherwise, and it's not like that's ever really stopped anyone.

Something about that picture just doesn't seem right...

Annnd, time for the bundlecruft!

Edge of Space goes to... ragnar119! As the only person that wanted it :V

Interplanetary actually had people!
Spoiler: And so it goes to.... (click to show/hide)

ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS ends up with...
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And last, but conceptually not least, STARWHAL
Spoiler: Goes for a double number! (click to show/hide)

Congratulations, folks! And those of you who didn't luck into the proverbial bundle pocket lint, most/all of these still have other people giving them out, too, so you'll get another chance :D

Annnnd... 17th. I'll do the draw for frumple's bundlecruft in, let's say... ~four hours (Noon, CST), assuming nothing comes up on the fleshy side of things? Just in case someone wants to get in on 'em in the last lil'bit.

... completely forgot to coordinate with metalax about ROCKETSROCKETSROCKETS and STARWHAL, though. I'll.... PM 'em if they don't hold their drawing first? Something like that.

Hrm. Actually looks like stopping it entirely puts it behind (ahead of?) reality. Quick check shows that death by alcohol exposure is actually a thing for cats, and can apparently happen just because of being doused in the stuff, nevermind straight up normally ingesting any of it.

It's self published, apparently. Amazon's just serving as the distributer, or something along those lines. Also people seem to like it, for whatever reason.

Mate, these fuckers'll shoot for no reason, nevermind getting shot at first. If that was a concern I'd never go outside.

Nah, if I were going to shoot people involved in that nonsense, I'd be shooting the ones that are complaining about it. I can actually find large numbers of those in driving distance. Rabid SJW stereotypes barely exist outside the internet (or on it, really), but people frothing about political correctness and whatnot are literally down the street in numbers that require more than fingers and toes to count.

Both. SPAZ2 will be released, then pulled from the store within a day due to a crippling security problem -- this will be spun as a reactive release due to a (nonexistent) leak causing them to release earlier than they intended. Stardew will open for download shortly thereafter, and SPAZ2 brought back up a week later for its "official" release.

We seem to have suddenly reached the point of starting to build them en masse, so I figured I might as well throw another into the pile.

You heard it here, folks. People trying to help other people leads to the USSR. Clearly, all poor people, minorities, and various groups facing discrimination and/or oppression must die of exposure to prevent this horrible fate. Do your part to fight the SJW menace! Shoot a hobo today!
