    Aah, well, that sucks... it's not really a remaster then or even a remake, it's more of a reimagining. I doubt I have the patience to play through the original as it was envisioned back then though lol, I can get why they simplified it for the new generation of gamers.

    Estimated 20 to 60k per episode of Wednesday, 8 episodes, cinema still wins. This one website says 600k for scream with no sources but it's no secret even today TV actors want to make it on film.

    She left bc her co star was fired over Palestine.

    Hey, designer here (at least that's what I say at family functions). I'll need to look at it properly on a computer but I can see two things.

    1. The kerning with the A is a bit wider than on other letters, either the A letter needs to be brought closer to the rest of the word, or it needs to be a little more top heavy.

    2. Same alignment argument with the whole logo, the word Cry feels a bit too aligned to the right. I would bring it a little bit more to the left.

    I assume you mathematically aligned the letters and so on paper they are all centred properly and stuff, but you need to do it optically for human eyes. Because the C is rounded, it looks further left than it actually is, you need to offset it to the left a little bit as the left edge of the C is very thin (if you looked at in 1D, imagine it's just a line).

    I can provide a more visual example later but this is what jumps out at me.

    The gem also clashes with the typeface as you don't really find that shape in the font (lozenge). You have straight lines for the most part with thin, needley ends (the serif) and a very rounded, almost circle C. Is it possible to try other shapes inside the C?

    Do you condemn hummus?

    This is actually the argument Israelis use as they keep appropriating Palestinian property (with which they make this hummus) and give themselves a claim that they are native to the region

    Gaza is not only dense but well-defended. They have networks of tunnels dug under the city and extending out of Gaza. Fighters can disappear an IOF soldier in 10 seconds in their tunnels and you'll never see him again. The last time they tried to enter, in 2014, one IOF soldier came out of it describing the experience like so: It was hell. Everything you touched could explode against you. Everyone you see could pull a weapon and shoot you as soon as you turn your head. And there's lots of people. You move step by step, as if in the dark, and just hope you make it out alive.

    Honestly a land invasion of Gaza might be their nail in the coffin. This is where they do not have superiority. They can bomb Gaza all they want, but they can't invade it and succeed. Both times they've tried it was a colossal defeat for them.

    Compound that with the fact that the IOF is a serious paper tiger. They can claim they're the most disciplined army in the Middle East or whatever as much as they want, but video footage shows an army in disarray, shooting at their own, not practising the most basic amount of safety. Remember the video from a few years ago of an IOF soldier picking up a flag someone planted on the Gaza border fence and just casually bringing it up to his mates before it exploded in his hands? All they know is to terrorize civilians, once the civilians start shooting back they don't know what to do.

    Link takes you to blog space, announcement here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:ProleWiki%27s_new_Essays_feed! This was custom-built exactly like the library was (and you wouldn't believe how hacky I had to get lol). It looks much more like a blog would, which is an improvement over the "just put your name in a table" method we used earlier. All automated too!

    Since November* 2022, ProleWiki has been the victim of a very dedicated stalker and harasser. ProleWiki has been maintaining this document since February of 2023, when Wisconcom was ramping up his attacks and harassment against us. When he left us alone briefly in May-June 2023, we agreed we would not publish it so as not to ruin his reputation. It was always an equivalent exchange: if you stop bothering us, we'll leave you alone. He didn't though, he came back in July, and so we make good on our promise. That is one thing Wisconcom -- and all harassers that would come our way -- must realise about us. Be prepared for a long read, but it's worth it. I am only the humble messenger of this document.

    > I was hoping to be able to interact with this community and learn and share, but my initial responses have suggested this is sadly an echo chamber, and any contrasting views are not tolerated. I would have appreciated explanations and suggestions but having experienced nothing but lazy downvotes and little discourse I suggest this community is doing communism a great disservice. Shame. I will be blocking this community and will begin to suggest others avoid it for the above reasons. link: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/802236

    We get posted on r/tankiejerk (for the fourth time) -> we get posted on Twitter by some euro liberal -> we get posted by socialism done left himself. Anyway we've never been visited this much. Actually no, we've doubled our visits since we had that thread on Yeonmi Park go viral (on Twitter), and our most visited day was march 1st, which is still unbeaten. But the SDL shoutout has set a new 2nd place record.

    I thought it was gonna be easy to write, but there was just so much to cover. We cover the basics of nutrition (especially nutrients and healthy eating), weight loss, weight gain, and getting into fitness. I have two workout routines I recommend and detail in this guide. I also make recommendations for my trans comrades who might be scared of getting too buff as chuds are too fragile to touch this topic and information is sorely lacking, so someone has to step up (done to the best of my knowledge as a cis person mind you). And this shit is all free, what the fuck am I even doing. Anyway, enjoy it.

    Prolewiki, the marxist-leninist encyclopedia, removed an administrator who tried to sabotage the project (you can see the evidence in the linked tweet). Therefore he was removed. It took the infras a few minutes to find the tweet and start brigading it. What else can I add? Their "huge" community and their "magacommunism" that will totally save the USA has like 920 members in their Telegram. They are less relevant than your local Five Guys that sees more traffic in a half day. But they deploy a "point and shoot strategy" where one of them will signal your tweet and the rest will swoop in and post the most asinine stuff they can think of (definitely quantity over quality is important), boost each other, and just drown you out. Hope this is the right community to post in, it was hard to decide.
