@Middy_Moony@yongsadragon Shlawg theyd absolutely break your fingers off for a bad joke or kill you for insulting someone who happened to be a friend of the middle
The middle is just the thumb if they were a bunch of frat boys and knew how to party rather than tryharding being the mafia
@yongsadragon TBH i love the middle, they seem like one of the more reasonable Finger organizations of the city.
they are still bad but they aren't gunna kill you for making a bad joke (Thumb), use you for Art work (Ring) or kill you because their ChatGBT magic 8 ball told them too (Index)
@Minister_Makbre@PhysInHistory Or because hes literally standing right next to them in attire given to him by them, but sure everything is about white people and liberals and how they ruined your life I guess
Albert Einstein visited the Hopi people near the Grand Canyon in 1931, where he was honored with a feathered headdress and a peace pipe at Hopi House. The gesture recognized his pacifist ideals and is preserved in a well-known photograph.
@DailyNataliX@HumansNoContext Yeah among other issues
Like structural integrity
Messing with depth perception (if the glass is too clean it looks l like its just not there)
Making acrophobia even worse
Probably way more
Its just all around bad for everyone
@jib_loger_alt this just seems like an incredibly basic ending, it doesnt seem like the worst ending ever its just what id expect from a game hanging onto life support with generally mid writing like pixel gun
a lot of endings go like this and a lot of them have sequel bait
Ok recently Pixel Gun 3D added the final world to the campaign, which is world 5 and it has genuinely the worst video game ending I have ever seen just look:
AI generated voice with shitty cutscene that plugs Pixel Gun 3D 2 ok…
@Einzeilhandery I swear theres an overlap between mechs and barotrauma with how people keep making the most funky submarines and the fact you can mix and match them
Barotrauma is just a mech game for submarine fans
@panzervor051@histories_arch Yeah, real strong the group of people that died out due to underpopulation, militant failures, and their economy.. wonder why..
Also you have an israel flag pfp but glaze Spartans, pick a side if youre gonna be a supremacist you cant glaze two
@Synsation01@histories_arch It wouldve been sketchy if it was for personal gain or the care of the infants wasnt considered, it was probably a sideshow to spread attention to an experimental method that turned out to work not to capitalize off it
@histories_arch Genius. We still use incubators to this very day. The circus show is sketchy sounding tho. He would need a much more humane setting for the real props to be given… My true fact.
@Bobbygromit@histories_arch Yeah dude, because modern scientists and historians totally want to hide a huge discovery of an ancient human sidespecies, its all a conspiracy the illuminati is hiding big humans!!
@histories_arch Apparently the Smithsonian was founded to find and remove all evidence that there existed giants, many buried in these types of mounds. Perhaps this information rattles the "official adopted" darwinian perspective, a not so little unaccounted for discrepancy. So much for science
Beneath a quiet West Virginia mound, archaeologists found eleven people laid around one central burial, a pattern so deliberate it still unsettles the imagination.
What makes Criel Mound linger in the mind is not simply its age, but the care buried inside it. Deep beneath the earth, eleven people were found together at the base, arranged around one central burial in a layout that looked intentional, ceremonial, and impossible to dismiss as random.
That arrangement is the detail people remember, because it suggests a community making a statement in earth and ritual. Ten individuals surrounded the central figure, and the finds around that middle burial made excavators believe this person held unusual importance.
Today the mound stands in South Charleston, but long before streets and businesses surrounded it, this was part of a much larger ceremonial landscape in the Kanawha Valley. The mound was once among extensive earthworks that stretched for miles on both sides of the river, evidence that this was not an isolated monument but part of a broader sacred geography.
Archaeologists generally connect the mound to the Adena world, with the West Virginia Encyclopedia placing such builders in the Ohio and Kanawha drainages between roughly 1000 and 200 B.C. The commonly repeated estimate for Criel Mound itself is around 250 to 150 B.C., though some older nomination language also noted a mingling of Adena and Hopewell traits in the material recovered there.
Even in altered form, the mound still conveys scale. Sources describe it as about 33 feet high after historic damage, making it one of the largest surviving burial mounds in West Virginia and second only to Grave Creek Mound in the state.
But Criel Mound was not left untouched by the modern world. Before the Smithsonian excavations, its summit had already been leveled for a bandstand or judges’ stand, tied to a racetrack that once circled the mound, so by the time investigators arrived part of the original form had already been lost.
That loss matters, because every change to a mound like this erases context that can never be fully restored. What survives is precious not because it is complete, but because it endured despite being treated for years as scenery, usable land, and public space rather than as an irreplaceable archive of Native history.
In late 1883, Smithsonian investigators began cutting a shaft from the top down toward the original ground surface. Near the upper levels they found burials at shallow depths, and the associated artifacts led later interpreters to believe those upper interments were intrusive and from a later period rather than part of the mound’s first use.
Then came a long stretch of earth with no major discovery. Only when excavators neared the base, roughly 31 feet down, did the original burial deposit appear and reveal the moment for which the mound had first been raised.
The dead at the bottom were found on a prepared setting of bark and ash, then covered with another layer of bark. Postmolds and structural traces suggested some form of tomb or vault, which helps explain why this was understood as a formal, deliberate burial event rather than a casual accumulation of graves.
The central burial drew the most attention, and not only because of position. Copper near the head, shell beads, and weapon points were associated with that individual, while some of the surrounding burials had fewer or no objects, creating a pattern of difference that likely reflected status, role, or ceremony.
Older retellings often fixate on the size of the person in the center. Some sources and later retellings describe a skeleton around 6 feet or even 6 feet 8 3/4 inches long, but the West Virginia Encyclopedia stresses that Norris reported the individuals as adults of medium size, and the National Register form itself warns that the extreme height may have been exaggerated by pressure from the earth.

@histories_arch@archeohistories Good grief, why do modern day people think that ancient people had no culture? Burial mounds have been found all around the world.
@Adam_L_10@Bucky_cm for shirtain
though, for online games this quantification is sorta necessary,if a multiplayer game has low player count or saturated with a certain playstyle then you might not have fun, if a mp game has no players its just not playable, people get too petty but makes sense there
@Bucky_cm I’m a lil drunk so forgive me but this is what I hate about modern gaming. People genuinely think like this. I miss when games were art instead of purely a way to generate revenue. I love when games were something to enjoy and appreciate. I miss shitty Xbox games
🚨Breaking News!
Half Life has only 782 players! Thats 97% down from their peak!
The game is dead and the developers have been completely silent about it.
Unless these devs ship a major update or at least explain why players left then recovery seems unlikely!!
@Tychodragonfan@Bucky_cm well any generation since steam can experience this era since most of the games are ported to pc and a good chunk is on youtube if not, but yeah its a shame that a lot of people miss out on the classics
@GFox70611742@Bucky_cm if this post is for the bit then it Was pretty funny
but i gotta clarify half life was always what buzzword lovers throw around as "woke garbage" now, its Literally about how people are powerful by wit and will alone, the mc is a rando with a PhD and what he picks off the street.
@GFox70611742@Bucky_cm hl1 had wheelchair accessibility, both games have a decently diverse cast especially with the combine herding everyone and city 17 being somewhere soviet, the entire series is about saving humanity from major interdimensional threats, both happening to be alien oppressors
Valve is bummed about the delay of its new Steam Machine.
The small gaming PC was supposed to launch early in 2026.
Supply chain problems with memory and storage parts have pushed back the release date.
A Valve designer named Lawrence Yang said, “Obviously we’re bummed that this is the state of things.”
The company is working hard to fix the issues and keep the price as good as possible.
