#doom 2025

(I just realized how weirdly that was worded)

The "dignitary":

You don't need to read the entire thing. Let me share some key points:

These are actual words in the article:

imagine being that guy.

News station KATU has video of this. Bluesky link, they don't seem to have it on their actual site.

yeah.

Thinking back to the last time there was attention drawn to Portland protests. I'm not saying there wasn't ridiculousness then, there absolutely was.

But what we've got here is just humiliating. Probably not to the Visiting Dignitary, but to anyone with even a small grip on reality who's been on the "hell on earth" train.

And tonight?

I don't know much, but I know that 1000 years from now, whoever digs up the remains of this country are going to be so confused.

Doom: The Dark Ages (2025)

Did you watch the recent Xbox Developer Direct stream with the Doom showcase?? It's looking absolutely fantastic and to know it's launching on May 15th, we really don't have to wait too long!

I can't get over how cool the skull gun looks, lol. Not only that though, but have you seen the Collector's Edition? That statue is looking so goddamn cool and is probably one of the best we've seen in a while from a game edition!

Is this one you'll be picking up on launch?

Here we go?

Big mistake.

This isn't my area, geographically, so I'm not going to be posting about it like I did 2020 PDX, but please pay attention to what's happening in California.

When this kind of thing happened in PDX, the bulk of the news that made it outside was, "Portland is burning", "Portland is unsafe because Antifa".

It was bullshit, and I'm sure it'll be similar here. Pay attention.

I am asking you share this with anybody you talk to who uses Portland as an example of a city in turmoil because of immigration.

Huh. I wonder if Flock cameras are being used in the wider vicinity of where I live. Let's find out!

OH. Just at Home Depot.

Home Depot tracks - they've had plenty of raids there.

Fred Meyer...I guess not very surprising either.
