Schizollama from Chaosmonger Studio is a blazing-fast run and gun game

Chaosmonger Studio sure are busy. After releasing ENCODYA and Clunky Hero, then announcing Soul Tolerance and Three Minutes To Eight they've now announced a fifth game. It's called Schizollama and it looks ridiculous.

All these #SteamDeck competitors are great! With the release of the #ROGAlly and now the upcoming #LegionGo, handheld gaming is taking off 🛫

I guess we can thank the success of the #NintendoSwitch for that 👏🏻

I’m going to stick with my Steam Deck because:

1️⃣ I already have it, don’t need another hand held gaming PC.
2️⃣ I like the console like exp the SD (Steam Deck) provides.
3️⃣ The SD customization is fantastic 👌🏻

Custom Steam Deck with purple Skull & Co thumb sticks, JSAUX grip case and custom Decky Loader Home Screen.

Globally we produce A LOT of #energy, but did you know the majority of fossil energy gets wasted? In the US alone, two-thirds of that energy is *wasted* as heat.

As Hannah Ritchie has pointed out, we don’t actually need to produce a low carbon equivalent of all of the coal, oil & gas we currently use.

That means we can decarbonize quickly by being less wasteful & more efficient. #ClimateChange #science

Estimated U.S. Energy Consumption in 2021: 97.3 Quads Of that, 65.4 is rejected & 38.1 is used. Image from Lawrence Livermore National Labs

All use of carbon fuels is deadly waste. A filtghy history ending waste.

24 Billion trees. Twenty Four Billion Trees. With a "B"

Greenland will NO LONGER allow any search, drilling exploration for oil. Ever. Done.

India interrupted their new Five Year Plan to DROP ALL NEW COAL Spending, already budgeted.

The money will be spent on renewables.

Build ALL the new energy needed to END ALL CARBON FUELS FOREVER.

UN-used UN-needed UNderground.

Carbon fuels are death.

I won’t venture deep down this rat hole now, but the faux philosophies espoused by many of the AI boys — in the acronym of Émile Torres and Timnit Gebru, TESCREAL, or longtermism for short — is noxious and frightening, serving as self-justification for their wealth and power..."

@hubzillar Tell that to the farmers who put together my local learning co-op. They would love to be told they are part of the elite, provided that were given that sort of money! Because of their small size they collaborate with other "village schools".

I had a feeling. I'm originally from the US and until you live here in Australia, it's sometimes hard to understand the odd ways in which things are different. I understand your viewpoint, though. Public schools should be the gold standard, and private schools only exist for special instances that have nothing to do with being rich. One independent school that I have done some work for here was founded because the public schools just weren't prepared to properly help kids who are neurodivergent, have ADHD, anxiety issues, etc. They are awesome kids! But they did need their own space.
