MECCHA CHAMELEON is a hide-and-seek body painting game taking over Steam

It's fun if you have a group, but still very rough around the edges. The UI is a bit of a mess currently. There's no search on the public servers page - you have to go into "join private server" and search from there, which is super unintuitive. Public servers also take forever to fill up and seem to disconnect or end the game within a few seconds of starting.

Supposedly its sold 3 million copies, so I hope they'll hire a small team of developers and designers to polish things up a bit.

Zohran Mamdani is reshaping the Democratic Party faster than anyone expected

Reply in thread

Planted by whom? The democrat establishment that dragged their feet on giving him any support whatsoever? The republicans who were urging their own candidate to drop out in order to give Cuomo an edge? High roller donors who were desperately trying to prop Cuomo up? Seems like the entire establishment across the political spectrum was against Mamdami. The wealthy and powerful clearly did not want him in office, I don't think there was some 5D chess gambit behind their opposition.

Seneca Village

From the Wikipedia page

A newspaper account at the time suggested that Seneca Village would "not be forgotten"

Then later

The settlement was largely forgotten for more than a century after its demolition.

Also just kinda interesting that one of the residents was named Edward Snowden.
