Of course they are fucking things up. Doesn’t change the reality that it is still up to them and Biden can’t change that. DeSantis would like nothing more than to prove his loyalty to Trump (and thus to Trump voters) by valiantly opposing the evil Democrat Joe Biden’s attempt to force Floridians to wear masks.  It…

Leaving things up to the states was Trump’s idea. How’s that working out?

there should be some punishment for them for not wearing a mask

I’m not that hopeful about it. Trump may be leaving the White House but his legions of dipshit mask-holes aren’t going anywhere. The situation with masking and social distancing probably isn’t going to be any more respected under Biden than under Trump.

Right, it works that way now, but I think it maybe used to be based off of the enemy’s damage because while I could barely scratch a red skull Zealot with my own attacks, returning one of their javelins would do like 10-20% of their health.  It was very noticeably better.  Now it’s about the same as a normal attack on…

The improvement I like is not worrying about whether I need to use assassinate or advanced assassinate since the prompt comes up on its own when you do a normal assassinate, if needed. Contrast with Odyssey where I’d sometimes screw it up since I was waiting to the last moment as an enemy closed on my hiding spot, to…

Speaking of being chased... I have to say Valhalla is WAY more forgiving about this than Odyssey. I have both installed and had to remind myself how things were in Odyssey after playing some Valhalla. Getting noticed in an enemy fort in Odyssey basically puts every last person in that fort on you like a bloodhound…

One note about Missile Reversal. I think it may have gotten a nerf in one of these recent patches. Or a “fix”, I suppose. Before, I used it to take out a red skull zealot with ease because each returned javelin shaved off a pretty big chunk of their health. Now it seems to do very little. Possibly they made it so it…

Well, Republicans DID keep insisting that the Georgia Sec.State keep looking for election fraud.

To me the biggest parallel is his insistence on calling the media “Fake News” Hitler called them the Lügenpresse (Lying Press).  Both men understood that the biggest threat to their plans was the people listening to anybody else but their propaganda.

Actually, Mike Godwin, the man who invented that Internet rule... said it was totally appropriate to compare alt-right goons in America to Nazis.

Sadly, so is “Confederacy of Dunces”.

When I hear ‘defund’ it says to me zero dollars whatsoever toward policing because ‘defund’ has been sloganed by anti-choice nutjobs...

He can pardon the person offering the bribe but it’s unknown if he can pardon himself, since he’d also be committing a crime by accepting the bribe.

Nobody knows if he can pardon himself, because it’s never been done. And because it’s never been done, it’s never been challenged to the Supreme Court.

It’s really annoying too, because they are often milling around inside the chapel when you bust in and the defenders have no problem just attacking you right through the throng of panicking monks.

This. It’s not about feeling sorry for them. It’s about feeling sorry for ourselves, because we’re stuck with these idiots no matter who wins the White House from now on.

This has to be the most powerful kind of cognitive dissonance there is: Admitting that you are to blame for your own looming death because you were wrong about something as stupid as political party loyalty is somehow more painful than dying?

Sure, but that was not all done in the same afternoon, which is how it appears in the game. I mean, you can loot monasteries on your way to talk to a bishop about being friends. And then you can loot some more after.

How do you know Vikings couldn’t read, Nathan?   Read that in one of your Templar history books, did you?
