  • I sadly couldn’t play LotF14 because the camera does this weird nauseating wobbly animation when you move around. I have to assume this was the fault of someone at CI Games, because LotF23 and both of the Surge games don’t have this issue.

    Anyway, I don’t really get why LotF23 gets so much hate. It’s a baseline competent soulsborne-like with good combat, a fair amount of build variety with some neat options, tons of QoL, and no major issues. It’s a solid 7.5/10 and its only real crime IMO is how painfully unoriginal it is in tone and setting. I actually enjoyed it slightly more than Lies of P (probably mainly because of the increased build variety, because I’m a sucker for that). It’s great and I’m looking forward to the sequel.

    The CEO is still a turd, but he wouldn’t be a CEO otherwise. 🤷














  • Like I said, it’s just a side effect. They make money off the grift.

    Prior to his current position as Secretary of Undermining Health, RFK Jr. was the head of the Children’s Health Defense, whose mission is to defend children’s health from various things that improve it, such as vaccines and fluoridated drinking water.

    From the linked Wikipedia page:

    From $13,000 in annual revenue in 2014, World Mercury Project brought in $470,000 in revenue in 2015, when Kennedy joined the organization. Its revenues increased to $1.1 million in 2018. With the group becoming a major disinformation hub during the COVID-19 pandemic, its revenue reached $6.8 million in 2020, $15 million in 2021, counting among its new donors LimeWire’s founder Mark Gorton,[6][64] and $23.5 million in 2022.[31]

    Basically, it’s just another variation of rallying people against a problem that doesn’t exist. Once you have their support, you can start asking them for money. And since your cause is a farce, you don’t have to worry about getting results - just keep banging that drum and let the donations roll in. An unfortunate side effect is that you might eventually start succeeding at eliminating public health measures, but who cares as long as you’re getting paid?

    I would also assume this, if I hadn’t also repeatedly witnessed the exact behaviour the OP describes. The “instant honk on green” drivers also tend to follow up with whatever reckless maneuver allows them to beat you to the next red light by 1.5 seconds. Inattentiveness and impatience are both dangerous on the road.
