I had a dream last night that reminded me of something I saw in the trailer for the game #Control which I still have to play. It must have been the atmosphere. #videogames
A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments. But Greystar, Blackstone, and AvalonBay are spending millions to block it....
#gardening failure so far this year: invested in #AntPro bait stations in an attempt to reduce ant damage to fruit trees/etc. (and the occasional bee swarm that lands here). The #ArgentineAnts here refuse to take the bait... I think too many other food sources in my yard. #pest#control#ant#ants
Ça me laisse le temps de refaire le premier d'ici là. D'ignorer American Nightmare. D'enchainer avec #Control, pour son extension AWE. Et d'attendre de découvrir à cette occasion la nouvelle collaboration avec Poets Of The Fall.
Et peut-être, comme ça m'était arrivé après avoir joué à #AlanWake à sa sortie, à me mettre à stocker divers lampes de poche ici et là.
With continued American #aid to #Ukraine stalled & against the looming prospect of a 2nd Trump presidency, #NATO ofcls are looking to take more #control of directing #military support from Ukraine’s allies — a role that the #US has played for the past 2 yrs.
The main solo game I've been playing lately has been #Control and wow has it been fantastic!
I think I'm closing in on the end... but it suddenly veered into an #AlanWake series of side missions & a region that is much darker & spookier than the main game.
Not a big fan of the IP crossover.
But... I am happy about more skill points to keep making Jesse more of a badass. 😆
Red line: Estimated average number of daily active users on Twitter in 2013.
Green line: About the time Twitter introduced the algorithmically sorted home timeline that users where up in arms against.
People today: Social media without algorithms just doesn't work! We have to let the ruling class control what information we receive, there's just no other choice. Deciding for ourselves, hah, so naïve!
A while ago I bought a Humble Bundle of #Steam games with female protagonists. I just finished #Sable which was fun and very chill.
And I've now started #Control which is also fun but very not chill and I almost raged my keyboard across the room after my 12th time dying on the first boss. 😆
Until I realized I can't just stroll through this game casually gunning things down and need to actually have some self-preservation instincts and a modicum of strategy. LOL.
With a #constitutional change, #Italy 's #PM#Meloni "wants to automatically give the #party with the highest percentage of #votes a 55% share of seats in #parliament .In other words, as long as one party receives more votes than any other — even if that were, say, 20% of the #national vote — it will be rewarded with outright parliamentary #control ."
Of course,it's pure #coincidence that Meloni's #FratellidItalia is likely to be that party after the next #elections...
Hey lazyweb! I'm a bit out lately from the things about #presentations. But surely want to take a good one later on. What #harvests today? And how could I use #remote#control for impress.js or reveal.js? Do you have some #good#articles? Thank you for letting me know. Much appreciated.
Control is one of my favorite video games ever, but I never played Alan Wake even though they are set in the same universe and Control has lots of references to Alan Wake, and even a DLC.
I am not sure if I should try playing Alan Wake 1 or 2. They seem to be horror, which Control was not, so I am not sure if they will be outside of my preferences. I am not a fan of horror games at all.
Anyone have ideas? #gaming#control#alanwake
One of Susquehanna’s richest bets was purchasing a 15 percent stake in TikTok’s parent company, #ByteDance, in 2012;
according to the Wall Street Journal, Yass’ personal stake in the company is about seven percent.
"The Christian nationalist movement has long used abortion as an issue to unify different strands of their movement. They know that if you can get people to vote on a single issue, you can control their vote. ...
If you dig deeper, it is really about the money and power, and not just sex."
