By this logic Instagram and TikTok are better than either, and yet the more any social media site becomes like those two, the more quickly I want to leave it.

And they will definitely not charge you more for it when they are a monopoly, no siree

Cmon government, I was just making Anthrax for science, I was never gonna hurt anyone with it!!

Now do it without a literal ocean to transport supplies and troops over, without multiple surrounding hostile countries. Afghanistan was a failure of logistics and political will, not the victory of the AK over the military.

Can you tell us more about your Rambo fantasy where you fight the big bad government with your very cool and very masculine guns?

It's because the way you are posing questions is disingenuous. It's an article about issues with the Republican party and voter base and you turn around and go, "well, yeah, but there are two sides so Democrats must be the same right???" It's like you can't even discuss the topic at hand, you have to make it a "both sides" thing.

But sure, I'll bite. Do Democrats have huge numbers of talk radio stations, shitty news stations, and grifting facebook pages all pushing the same bullshit? Because Republicans do, and they all for some reason talk about the same shit in the same way. You can hem and haw about how MSNBC could be more "neutral," but it doesn't hold a candle to the ridiculousness of Fox News. And if it did, don't worry, we've still got OANN to talk about.

Democratic echo chambers amount to "we don't like you saying racial slurs in our forum," where Republican echo chambers amount to "don't you dare post that scientific study or countermand the will of the Great Leader." They aren't the same, no matter how desperate you are to equivocate.

Too bad voters don't matter half as much as much as land and money in the US.

I think it's pretty obvious one side is operating totally outside of reality where the other is not. Are democrats peddling stolen election lies and denying the existence of COVID?

I feel like most successful jokes have a much better ratio of accuracy to hilarity. This one sacrifices accuracy for an incredibly lame pun that wouldn't have been funny if it were accurate.

You don't like a AAA game? Make ur own AAA game lmao gotem

You know you could also make a post about how much you like it, right? The world would not end. A post being on the gaming board doesn't mean it's the objective truth, it's a forum. Both of your posts could be up at the same time, even!

Also it's hilarious to go "at least it's not buggy like the game this expansion is literally for"

It's because people aren't idiots like developers have thought for years. People don't mind a game where you need to read and learn as long as there is a payoff for reading and learning. We have been paying the price for devs thinking everyone is braindead for over a decade now as more and more mechanics and features are removed to please people who were never going to give the genre a chance anyway. By way of example, Dragon Age II didn't get the Call of Duty audience to play Dragon Age, it just convinced most who liked Dragon Age that EA only accidentally published one of the best RPGs of its decade.

We will make sure you asked before posting anything else, very sorry

They are, though. They went from taking on a bloated old way of doing things and getting massive good will for a respectful approach to customers to being so successful they decided that they were ready to be the bloated old way of doing things. It's remarkable how similar a trajectory cable and streaming have had.

This take makes perfect sense if you have been paying attention for only the last twelve seconds of history

This is such a weird take because Cyberpunk's storytelling was a series of Grand Theft Auto phone calls occasionally interspersed with "UR DYING V, I'M KEANU REEVES AND IM GONNA TAKE UR BODY LOL". There wasn't anything interesting about Cyberpunk's storytelling. I believe a Bethesda game could be more boring than that, but it doesn't retroactively make Cyberpunk great as a result.

I wish hexbear was like this, instead they fellate capitalist imperialist autocrats like Putin because it feels cooler to be a contrarian than class conscious to them.

I just replayed DAO last year. It holds up in a way Cyberpunk didn't manage on its first play through. The rest of the series is a trash fire though. Mass Effect is forgettable outside of the excellent world building of the first game.

Good thing this was decided by the courts because the map chosen by Republican politicians disenfranchised people.

Thinking Republicans are for anything but the grievances of rich white folks is brainwashing.
