They keep doing this. Just light rumblings and rumors of things and they go “THIS IS IT! ITS OVER! TRUMP IS ISRAEL’S PUPPET!” We are not going to war with Iran, Iran is not going to war with Israel, these overly emotional homos need to chill out.

I spent all night watching the horrific footage of Israel bombing Iran!*

*I slept peacefully for 8 hours.

Whole episode reeks of yet another "Information Operation" designed, probably, to put pressure on Iran to negotiate. (Sent via Starlink from my Bug Out Location deep in [REDACTED])

Mr. Biden, I have been listening to your podcast for a long time now. I want you to know that despite my voting against you, I will never try to diminish what you do here and at Mystery Grove.

I bet it all on "Nothing Ever Happens" and lo and behold.

How did I know? Well, I have an instinct, Tony. I have a killer instinct. Big believer in natural ability.

Didn't this already not happen last year? And a few years before that? How does anyone still fall for this?

Watched Running Out of Time (1999) instead of the news. Cat and mouse thriller and cop/robber buddy comedy with shades of Michael Mann and... Mission: Impossible? One of two Hong Kong action movies I've seen that prominently feature master of disguise antics.

The other one is Undeclared War (1990).

Have you thought about reviewing Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines? I saw some redditor comment about how the original game "was political" in the same way modern games are because of the anarchs. Based your previous reviews I think you are really able to articulate what went downhill with narratives in modern games.

I’d like that take as well especially with the sequel coming out, which had a horrific development (https://youtu.be/8nIuREr5HGk?feature=shared). I’m concerned they’ll make the combat better but the factions/lore more pozzed (kind of like Bethesda’s approach to Starfield and later Fallout releases). The original Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines was fun, goofy and immersive. I hope the sequel can be too but it’s looking like they want that cold realism approach.

I have a slightly different take (similar to Patrick Casey), which is that if Israel or the US did bomb Iran it wouldn't result in a larger "war"-type conflict and also wouldn't be a big deal. We'd forget in like a week. It would just be a thing that happened.

Megaman Legends (or as I played it for a week rented from Blockbuster, Megaman64) was so good. I never finished it or owned it, and I'm afraid to go back and play it for fear I only liked it because I was like 7 and didn't know any better.

I didn't even know this was the current "not happening" thing. I get all my news from the paid subscription posts.

Doesn't appear to be the usual half-measure strike. Looks like a decapitation strike against IRGC and military leadership, plus missile and nuclear sites. Comfy in my BOL.

Feels real good to be back as a paid subscriber. About as good as that feeling when you know that nothing ever happens.
