If YOU had YOUR way every 20-yr old working in conservative politics would be in prison. Spare me.
I have to admit that this new Castlevania Belmont's Curse game has me very depressed.
I have always loved Castlevania. I think the gameplay is great. I love the whip swinging- it's fast and feels natural.
But the character designs are terrible. There is no creepiness in the mood or art for me. No beauty and no darkness.
The color palette of the levels makes me feel literally ill. Between the faded puke green and garish magenta, looking at the levels gives me a headache.
The bosses are disappointing. I like that they require some thought and strategy, but it doesn't feel like the monster mash I prefer. The first boss is a big hulking... dude? Then there is Joan of Arc? Strange choices. They don't have the character I prefer.
It doesn't feel like anything here keys from Castlevania III... just the Netflix series that I did not like. Mixed with Dead Cells (also makes me feel ill) and Hades (which I avoided due to the art alone).
It kind of hurts. I wanted to see Castlevania make a triumphant return, and the gameplay IS good... so is the music.
I guess I should be grateful my favorite of the series is one of the least popular... apparently I don't have to worry about anyone making a revision, remake, or pseudo-sequel or prequel to it.
Seriously, why couldn't Konami just give us something we wanted, with Simon Belmont looking like how did in Super Smash Bros? Would that be so hard?
What am I even doing anymore... I just don't know.
Apologies/credit to original photographs that I pulled randomly.
And yes, I know it makes more sense for the Creature to be the Navy SEAL. That is the point of the absurdity.

How exactly can Congress allow somebody to take an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States if they openly advocate for eradicating the country?

Emily Wilson completely changed the meaning of a key word in the Odyssey to make it seem like Helen of Troy didn't blame herself for starting the Trojan War, when in fact the text makes it clear that she did.
In 4.145-146, Helen calls herself κυνώπιδος (dog-faced). This is an insult meaning "shameless." It is commonly used to refer to unfaithful lovers. For example, it is used elsewhere in the Odyssey (8.319) to refer to Aphrodite after she cheats on Hephaestus with Ares.
Fagles translates 4.145-146 to: "all you Achaeans fought at Troy, launching your headlong battles just for my sake, shameless whore that I was.”
Lattimore translates 4.145-146 to: "for the sake of shameless me, the Achaians went beneath Troy, their hearts intent upon reckless warfare."
Wilson completely changes the meaning of κυνώπιδος to "hounded" (she is trying to be cute by translating 'dog-faced' to a word that still relates to dogs, even though its actual meaning is completely unrelated). She then applies this word to the Achaeans, saying that they were hounded, not Helen. Her translation is in the image below.
This is obviously an ideological change that she made because she personally believes Helen shouldn't be blamed for the Trojan War. She deliberated distorted the meaning of one of the foundational texts of Western literature to conform with her modern beliefs.

I’m tired of the Senate’s evergreen excuse for inaction:
“We don’t have 60 votes.”
There are ways around the 60-vote cloture standard.
It’s time to start using them.
And stop disingenuously characterizing any refusal to do so as virtuous or conservative.
Share if you agree.
I don't mean any disrespect to real artists, and I am not profiting from it... but has anyone else tried plugging a bunch of their old junior high and high school art into @Grok and telling it to make everything photo-realistic?
It's a real rabbit hole.
That was a stressful and exciting few minutes... hoping nothing but the absolute best for @NASAArtemis II and everyone supporting it.

Air superiority means the enemy can still try.
Air supremacy is when B-52s are just flying around doing yard work.
Why are scientists so obsessed with resurrecting mammoths instead of stegodons? You can't keep a mammoth as a pet. Sure a stegodon would be bigger than a great dane, but can you imagine taking one for a walk? It would be awesome.

We have to take all the F-14s into custody so we can breed them in captivity. When their numbers are higher, we can release them back into the wild.
