Yeah, the likelihood of having to relocate to some shitty little border town in the desert SW is plenty of incentive not to apply. Even if you could stomach the work for a semi-decent paycheck and the promise of a pension in 30 years, do you really want to live someplace that gets to 115 in the shade and has scorpions

Unless he’s willing to either try to primary Trump by leveraging the moderate Republican never-Trumpers, or suck it up and run as a Democrat....he can sit down and shut the hell up.

Flattering, in a way (I guess). Had Steinbeck’s name not been somehow associated with it, it might have gotten less notice, though.

My bad. Too late to edit. Seems to be a widespread misattribution across the internet, though.

Disappointing, yet not really all that surprising. 

I don’t know...my expectations for episode 2 are pretty muted. I really enjoyed most of the first LiS and BTS, but something just didn’t click for me with episode 1 of LiS2.

The problem is that there are no “good guys” in this scenario. Supporting either side is ethically and operationally problematic, just for different reasons.

Ugh. We’re a platoon of Maduro loyalists storming the embassy away from an expensive and poorly defined police action in Venezuela, aren’t we?

Would looking like giant, talking thumb or wearing a Duck Dynasty beard that looked ridiculous with a suit improve your image of him?

The second video may add some context to the fact that it was a more broadly contentious situation, but the MAGA hat teens were still being asses toward Phillips by not stepping aside to let him pass. Just because other people were being rude to them doesn’t give them license to be rude to a third party. I feel like

It feels like a substantive proportion of online commentary can be written off as potential Russian bot activity. Basically, I find most strong opinions online to be suspicious unless I either know the person expressing them personally or they have a verifiable online history beyond similar shit-stirring.

No love for the menu music from Life is Strange: Before the Storm (Right Way Around by Daughter)? Bummer. 

Yeah...even if true, this is just another random Tuesday for Trump unless there’s actually ironclad enough evidence to impeach him for suborning perjury.

If it was true that this was shoddy journalism or outright falsification, Buzzfeed News likely would have thrown Leopold and Cormier under the bus and apologized immediately. The fact that they’re standing their ground and publicly asking the special counsel’s office to actually specify what about the story isn’t

My problem with LiS2 wasn’t it’s politics. Lord knows, if you’re cool with the LGBTQ themes in the original LiS and BTS, you’re probably also not offended to admit that racism is still a real thing.

So, a permanent wall in exchange for a temporary reprieve on some immigration concerns?

Well, it’s pretty clear the developers thought sacrifice Chloe was the “right” ending. And I suppose it’s the responsible/moral ending. It wasn’t the ending that was true to Max’s journey or the person she had become, though.

The first may be a little white hipster angsty, but it does have some solid LGBTQ+ subtext (if that makes a difference for you).  Overall, it was a really good game - if you have an XB1 and GamePass, I’d encourage you to give it a try.  The only risk is a little bit of download time.

I dunno...that kiss with Chloe if you pick the “save Arcadia Bay” ending is pretty hard to misinterpret.
