Feel like Warframe is the closest we'll ever get, and that's okay.

...jfc I am so old

Yeah this sounds seriously disgusting.

I can understand the intent of "we want to allow people who knew how to mod the old game to be able to develop for the new game." but Oblivion was 8 years ago. This game might get released in time for the 10th anniversary. Who is going to go back and update 10 year old mods?

You can have good modding support working off a base of UE5, just use full UE5 instead of a weird frankenstein of the two engines mashed together.

Considering Harris' campaign was basically "I'm Biden 2.0, except I'm gonna capitulate even harder to Republicans," I really, really doubt that. Biden won the 2020 election entirely off a platform of "I'm not Donald Trump." It was foolish and belittiling of the DNC to think they could pull the same trick four years later.

No Biden, your legacy will be that your ego was so big, you let your country fall into fascism rather than relinquish power. He never should have run for 2024, and the DNC should have had an actual primary.

Nothing else he did during his term will end up mattering nearly as much as how it ended.

Her whole thing is that she wants to plunge the Lands Between into a thousand years of darkness to connect to the power of the moon. Yeah she wears all white, but that doesn't inherently disqualify her, she's goth af.

It's seen as an American problem because America is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. It's not surprising you don't hear about racism much in countries with 80%+ white populations

Everyone in the comments of these articles keep saying things like "are they stupid?" No, everything's going to plan. Their plan just sucks for us.

It's honestly just business as usual in American politics, our leaders have been corporate puppets for decades. The only scary part is that they think their victory is so absolute that they can drop the mask.

Oh... That explains the toxicity...

This time, they think they have enough of the general populace controlled that they can get away with it. So far, they've been proven right every time.

None of the 50 states currently have a standing military. What if those corporate interests don't take no for an answer, and decide to hire private military contractors to conquer it by force? With the collapse of the U.S. military, there'll be plenty of mercenaries available. What if, after consolidating their power in their new former U.S. holdings, they decide that they want more and push for expansion? At that point, the corporations can have their own professional armies, made up of former U.S. citizens, fight against the remaining "independent" states.

I'm not saying your initial premise is wrong, but you haven't fully looked at the consequences of releasing ~43 incredibly weak nations into the world with no treaties or alliances protecting them. It guarantees conflict. You'd have maybe seven states masquerading as the "real United States," and complete chaos.

Hey Goliath was clearly in the right. David brought a gun to a fist fight, bastard never should have been allowed to walk free after that level of cheating.

Turns out constantly voting for the status quo when it is shit got us to fascism anyway!

Boomers disappearing won't fix this, they've already indoctrinated members of Gen Z. The problem wasn't that being born at a specific time made you a conservative, it's that conservatism requires a lot of idiots to support it. They've bred their fresh crop of idiots, and they won't stop digging their hooks in until we unfuck private media ownership and enforce education standards.

The DNC broke every fundraising record they previously had. They only lost the election by our metrics, they all got fabulously paid this year.

What actually happens if the Union splits is that corporate interests start buying states. If you think we live in a cyberpunk dystopia now, just imagine what would happen if Amazon owned Mississippi through Georgia.

The problem is that the second the federal government fully collapses and states are left on their own, a majority of them will become captured by megacorporations or China. Red states like Mississippi just fail to function on their own, they would require an entity with seriously sizable funding to subsidize them, and the number of entities that can fit that bill is pretty small. Even if these red states band together...they're the worst states. 5 of them together doesn't equal the income brought in by places like California or New York, who would perhaps instead enjoy a large surplus of state funding they could make use of and maintain individuality in the face of a corporate dystopia.

Capitalism: A Love Story and Where to Invade Next came out at the start of Obama's era and the end, respectively, and both offer some criticisms of Obama. Of course, Fahrenheit 11/9 really lays into him, particularly because of Obama's stunt in Flint, Michigan where he boldly tricked people into drinking the local water.

You didn't hear shit because you didn't watch his other movies.

It never had any credibility, no awards show does. It's always a way for the richest and most powerful of an industry to jerk themselves off.

On the one hand, I can kinda get it. It must really suck to lose to a self-servicing corpo ad-a-palooza, even one as well crafted as Astrobot. It's like losing a collectible contest to FunkoPops, just clear feelsbad.

On the other, fuck this guy for dragging nationalistic pride into a dumbass award ceremony. The Geoff-fest is always a stupid corporate cockgag that celebrates publisher money more than developers, taking it personally and trying to pretend like all of China was snubbed only serves to makes BMW look worse.
