Being shown Poltergeist far too young. The face peeling mirror scene was A LOT for maybe 10 year old me.
In honor of scary media month: what is the first piece of media you remember truly frightening you as a child?

I'd still say I'm putting up with the combat more than truly enjoying it but I also just got to The Underpass and yeah, Remedy still has the juice.
Control Resonant may have completely turned a corner for me—mechanically, narratively—at the Underpass.

You could almost certainly wipe all student debt for the amount of money that will get wasted on this.
The U.S. wants a nuclear reactor on the moon by 2030. A Russian-Chinese alliance is working on one for 2036. Some leading scientists caution that governments are moving too quickly and the danger is great. trib.al/HT96ZqB

Worth repeating that in most cases the President has very little control over the economy, except in this specific case where Trump has smashed the make everything more expensive button multiple times between tariffs and causing the Strait of Hormuz to be closed.
TAPPER: 2 years ago, Trump said he thought he could get mortgage rates down to 3%. Last week mortgage rates had the biggest weekly jump in 4 years. It's more than 7%. Why has Trump failed to deliver on that promise?
HASSETT: President Trump hasn't failed to deliver at all. The economy is booming.

Just "love" how ESPN's writers think the Guardians make it out of the ALDS and then their ALCS votes/prediction has the Rays, Red Sox, and Yankees mentioned without even mentioning us as a possibility.

Hot take: The only way to make the kind of money VCs are interested in is to make socially cancerous products and gambling is the most obvious way this manifests.
Entrepreneurs can innovate to create wealth for the many or to reallocate it into their own pockets. It's too bad that current rules favor the latter
The Incentives for Entrepreneurs Have Become Warped
A recent New York Times investigation found that sports betting company DraftKings Inc. built a machine-learning model that scored customers by how much they would lose for each free bet or bonus they received. The data analyst assigned to test the model began to worry that many of the customers ranked highest were prone to addiction. By financial logic, the analyst said, “the best investment would be a problem gambler.”

Even if they give them a pass on every piece of permitting/review, this is operational when? 2028 at the earliest?
If this country had actual industrial policy you could say this is a good idea but the timelines here are so much longer and will do absolutely nothing to impact costs right now.

Exclusive: President Trump will announce a Minnesota company’s plan to build a $15 billion steel mill in Iowa, as he looks to counter voter frustration with the economy ahead of the midterm elections.

This really drives home the fact that if AI can't replace a ton of workers that the underlying value to enterprise customers is nowhere close to what the VC is looking for at IPO time, which is of course why Anthropic and OpenAI want to get that done sooner than later.

Based on my first 5 hours, Control Resonant's damage/stagger output values still feel very out of whack so I can't imagine what they felt like before. No wonder some reviewers did not like it. I'm mostly here for the story so I'm going to be making some adjustments.

Finished Star Wars Zero Company. What a great game. Might go back and play again on hard at some point since normal got almost trivially easy at times with the team combos I leaned into. That said those team dynamics are where the game sings.
