  • You absolutely want to do it in-person, but understand this is going to be a long deprogramming process. You'll need to demonstrate how each lie they have been fed is untrue, and correct it with factual information. Once you get far enough down the right-wing rabbit hole, these people start living in a completely separate reality. Not only will you need to deconstruct that reality and bring them back to our own, you'll need to do so in a supportive and caring way, because most people don't respond well to their worldview crumbling. You'll need to convince them that you care for them more than anything else, or they'll retreat further into the fake reality that's been constructed for them.

  • If you have enough money to afford a modern cellphone, you can pay $20 for crappy bluetooth headphones like the rest of us. It's very interesting that it's never an otherwise very respectful and thoughtful individual whose playing their music loudly in a public space, there's always one or two other markers letting you know they're just always an asshole.

  • I'm pretty sure he actually did all those things as President. I definitely remember him trying to withold respirators from Democrat ran states, and I remember there being some very suspicious companies that received FEMA funds when Puerto Rico suffered from the hurricane that hit during his presidency.

  • That's sorta the lede being buried here. This shows that people who would self-identify as gamers prefer single-player games. Gamers aren't the target audience for AAA devs though, they want to make more money than God by targeting the entire population of Earth, and a lot of people who would not categorize themself as a gamer seem to prefer being able to play simple online games with their friends.

  • Cyberpunk is very much not a shit game, it's a pretty good RPG with a great variety of character builds and fantastic writing. The devs did an absurd amount of work in order to make the gameplay significantly more fun. I'd also make the argument that Witcher 2 is a really good game, and is what popularized the series enough for Witcher 3 to be such a colossally known hit. The two companies make very different RPGs to one another, for sure, but you're just being a contrarian if you think the pedigree of the two companies is vastly different.

  • Neither of which will matter.

    Bethesda's game design is just too old. Playing Starfield felt like playing an RPG from a decade ago. Bethesda just got complacent from back when they were one of the only companies that could seriously do an open-world RPG, now we have CD Projekt-Red and FromSoftware with wildly different, significantly more innovative gameplay experiences. Hell, even other AAA devs like Capcom have been able to outperform in the open world space, Dragon's Dogma 2 was a ton of fun.

  • This may be hard to remember, but there was a pretty long period of history where the U.S. wasn't represented by bumbling idiots, and the U.S. definitely projected strength on the world stage. There was even a brief window of competency during the Obama era where it seemed like the U.S. could be a leader again.
