I mean, it's neat that she's trying, but I'm not sure who the intended audience of this endorsement is. Do zoomers know the history of the Vietnam War? To my understanding, she's pretty reviled by boomers for being anti-war.

I mean, if you live and work in Ohio, you probably won't be fired for being an out and proud racist unless it gets picked up by the news. He's allowed to do this because he's protected by all the other bigots in his state, and Ohio is full of them.

The Coke flavored Oreos are the more demonic side of this coin. Who the hell thought Aspartame was a good flavor for a cookie?

Trump has to understand this.

Who says? It seems like these days he doesn't even know which state or city he's in, I think the likelihood of him understanding literally any political theory at all is close to zero.

It's a shame that I'm a quivering pussy, because I think the combat against the replicants in FEAR fucking rules. The shooting feels awesome, slow-mo karate is awesome, the game feels awesome to play.

...and then the game goes quiet after the shooting stops, and it delivers some of the spookiest atmosphere I've experienced even after two decades of age. A single light fixture moves suddenly, showing the shadow of something just behind me, and I jump out of my skin and have to take a break from playing.

Unfortunately had to live in Evansville for a few years, this story checks out. My guess is that meth was involved, as that's a pretty common drug from the area.

They're already arming themselves for a civil war and openly calling themselves domestic terrorists, and your response is tea? You're naive if you think neighborliness is enough to avoid the coming conflict, they've already killed Americans.

The boring answer is that Mossad probably were the ones who convinced Hezbollah to move to pagers in the first place, likely through double agents, and likely also controlled the supply chain from the beginning. They probably also didn't actually care about who specifically had a pager, and just made sure they were distributed thoroughly within Hezbollah.

Temu isn't a social media network that has been known to boost specific narratives with their algorithm. The U.S. isn't saying that China can't sell and market to the American audience, just that they'll need a supervisor if they want to mess with media.

I'd like to hope that the American people wouldn't stomach such a brazen coup, but I think that requires Harris to win in a landslide. If it's even remotely close centrists will shrug and say it's the will of the people just like they shrugged at Gore.

I hadn't heard of such a thing, but it would make a lot more sense if this was just Meta trying to make sure they're dodging potential sanctions.

Their implementation of it just feels like they don't actually want you to buy the microtransactions. In Dragon's Dogma 2 for example, one of the most useful things you could buy is a Port Crystal, since it lets you setup a location to fast travel to and they're reasonably rare to find. However, you can only buy one maximum, and you don't really need them at all in the early game. By the time you would need one, you'll have collected like 3-4, and getting an extra one would be honestly pointless. You would think that they'd change gameplay in some fashion to encourage you to spend money, but after finishing the game I had tons of all the stuff they were trying to sell.

It's not really much of an argument, it's just stating facts. I'm not for the microtransactions, I think it's confusing that they would add such a thing at all, but they've consistently been doing it for all of their published games for nearly half a decade now. I've just chalked it up to a cultural difference since Capcom is an Eastern publisher, and on the sliding scale of scummy microtransactions it's pretty close to the bottom.

I mean yeah that's sound political strategy, but you're telling me MTG woke up and possessed the self reflection necessary to realize that?

I think it's more believable that we all died.

This is a real valid issue. I've heard they finally put out a performance fix, but have not personally tried it out myself to confirm. It's definitely the kinda game where you'll need cutting edge tech to make it look beautiful, and it can look incredible, but that doesn't excuse the abysmal performance on lower end hardware.

I mean, that's just every Capcom release now. It has nothing to do with their confidence or anything, they just add pointless microtransactions because some suit at the company thinks it's a good idea. It's the same shit with Devil May Cry 5, all the recent Resident Evil games, literally everything they published. If that's honestly the only thing keeping you from playing Dragon's Dogma 2, you're making a mistake.

Nope, the Dems goal is to try and scoop up all the disenfranchised Republicans. They understand that the modern GOP is in their death throes, so they're happy to shift the Overton Window further right. Republican policy is what their donors want anyway, it'll be a lot easier to push when they're a coalition of conservatives and centrists.

The goal for leftists is to start organizing grassroots campaigns for Senators and Representatives now, so that once the Dems have finished feasting on the ghouls' corpse, we're ready to fill the power vacuum.

I don't know how to break it to Ohioans, but we didn't exactly have a high opinion of them in the first place. I don't know if Vance is really sinking it any lower

This seems kinda unprecedented, no? I typically criticize Meta for sitting on their ass regarding the misinformation that's rife on their platform, but this seems like an actual step forward to reducing that.

I'm interested in knowing what your issues with it are. As someone who never played the first, I found it a pretty incredible and innovative RPG. Probably the biggest disappointment is just that I wish there were more monsters to fight, which I understand was a criticism of the first game until it's Dark Arisen expansion.
