It's more nuanced than that, unfortunately. The more I look at RFMA, it's less about codifying Obergefell and more about providing a roadmap for a post-Obergefell landscape. Namely, RMA establishes: Existing marriages are given free faith and credit. So states cannot annul same-sex marriages...

The legal argument is bullshit. I've spent like a month reading about this damn ruling to explain implications for Obergefell/Lawrence to my inlaws. First, the legal argument holds ninth amendment to the Glucksberg test that ninth amendment inferences must be "deeply rooted in history." 1864 is...

Not just approved by Congress, but the Senate specifically. Like, isn't something like the Trump justices were approved by senators representing just over a third of the US?

*is getting SCOTUS hasn't published their formal decision yet, but if nothing changes, this is the decision come June or July iirc. This means that protests, for the short term, are aimed at changing SCOTUS' mind.

I'd lean towards yes more times than not. If RNG is so oppressive that people feel the need to both learn how it works and how to manipulate it, it often reflects bad game design. I remember using RNG manipulation for Final Fantasy XII ZA for best gear because there's no skillful way to get...

LF: HA Snover, preferably female (but make is fine too). No other specifications. FT: Shining Pearl exclusives, limited by my current progress (currently at Solacean); also Spiritomb. I'm still very early in the game, and I've always wanted to use Snover, but I'd rather not deal with snow...

I *had* to learn from the Internet because all sex ed assumes everyone is cishet. And given parents' reluctance to talk about sex ed, as well as quality of most sex ed courses nationwide, the Internet is often the de facto place people need to learn. I don't know if there's any better advice...

If we're being pedantic, yes, I should have said "Abbott, Paxton, or an even more rightwing Republican who primaries them" will remain in office. The point I'm making is that we shouldn't be betting on a timeline where Texas elects a Democrat governor who can rescind this order. EIther GOP...

I'm honestly at a loss for words for the new Texas policy; it's genocide (literally, per UN definition) and *will* kill trans kids. There is no sugarcoating this. And while getting Abbott and Paxton out of office would be ideal, the hard fact is Texas has spent the last year doubling down on...

I wanted to briefly touch upon The EARN It Act, which does two things. Removes Section 230 Protections for any Platform having Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM). Section 230 explained...

Colorsharing is good on this type of banner; colorsharing has small impact on rates/orb costs but gives value. For people going for a one-off, orb costs go from 107 median on no colorshare to 117 median on qaudraple colorshare; 10 orbs for a non-trivial chance to pick up three other units *is*...

MATLAB. Having arrays be the default datatype makes scientific computing so much easier. Can be a bit sluggish since it can't compile, and of course, being behind a paywall sucks--although, most labs will probably have it. The other languages I used were python, java, C, and fortran. Of those...

To be honest, I don't really see The Game Awards as anything more than a glorified commercial reel dressed up as an awards show. I'm fully confident Deathloop will sweep just looking at its nominations just because it's the game that most overlaps with the trailers they'll inevitably show. For...

The N64 emulator has problems. Namely: - input lag (only when docked, I think?) - OoT has no fog and other texturing issues.

No. That's a reference to the fact some DLC characters, if bought within the next 3 days, give extra gold coins. That's it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll get it if I can 8 people together to split costs. $10 per year is honestly lowkey cheap; but $50 per year is too much. I get the feeling I'm not the only person who's looking to family share.

Per year.

If it was $30 just for N64/Genesis, perhaps that'd be fine. But adding the cost of dlc and requiring you have an active subscription to access dlc... Idk. I generally don't like having active subscriptions, and only subscribe to a service as I plan to use it.

2000, when I was second grade. It started with Nintendo 64, which my brother got for Goldeneye. I didn't really play N64 too much out of Super Mario 64 and a handful of multiplayer games (Mario Party 2, Mario Kart 64, Crusin' USA, and Goldeneye), but later I got my gameboy and played Pokemon...

Finished Code: Realize. In preperation for Sora's eventual landing in Smash, I'm playing through some older games related to newcomer in Smash U, starting with Donkey Kong Country on the SNES online. After DKC1-3, I'll probably get around to Punch-out and Super Punchout (yes yes, Little Mac is...
