Possible, but I also believe it happened whether Sasse actually heard it from some unnamed staffer or not. Only the scale of this was different from his previous, publicly recorded endorsements of violence done on his behalf at rallies, or that lovely time he told a crowd of cops they could maybe think about ramming a…

Agreed. This whole thing is a political exercise of moves and countermoves, of course.

This is exactly why the bullshit defense that it’s unconstitutional to convict a President after he’s left office. They don’t care how many Constitutional scholars we line up to tell them that’s bullshit. They aren’t trying to appease Constitutional scholars. They know this whole thing is about being put on the record…

It’s not that they found his actions indefensible. They could defend anything if they wanted to. It’s that they don’t WANT to. They’d rather not have to pick a side here because they know there’s a decent sized chunk of GOP voters who really would like to see Trump banned from office over this. Not as large as the…

Here’s another thought. Per The Hill (1/8/21):

More like embarrassing for the middle-aged dude who is trying to sound like a kid by using the word “pwned” in 2021, you mean?

When I start to think a spoon might help me eat a pizza... that’s when I wonder if I’ve made a mistake.

There is no one “New York” style pie.

Oh they have economic anxiety.. it’s just imagined economic anxiety. They have swallowed the Republican lie that Democrats will wreck the economy and turn us into Venezuela (rather than any one of the MANY successful countries that are more socialist than we are).

Fishing in Valhalla isn’t especially bad, but it is very boring and time-consuming.

Yeah, I’m not so sure that wasn’t just the original concept for the planet’s sky color. Although Sovereign scorched (melted even) the ground it landed on, it’s not like anything else is on fire and sending smoke into the air.

He doesn’t mean it literally can’t be done. He means they didn’t plan to do it, so they’re not doing it. He’s running a software project here. Also, this is probably one of a hundred different things you could come up with to improve the original game. Why not all of those too?

Eh.. less imaginative maybe, but lazy?  Lazy is throwing up two different color suns in the sky of Tatooine without caring if that could even work.  Not saying Mass Effect is hard sci-fi, but it’s always struck me as at least trying harder than Star Wars.

That doesn’t explain the lighting people are talking about here. Sovereign didn’t literally darken the entire sky merely by landing on the surface. That was apparently the original choice for the atmosphere of Eden Prime.

False dilemma. The answer is: neither. And that’s the answer they went with in ME3, you’ll notice. Well sort of. You still have a little bit of it with the scanner pinging away in the system but it takes a lot less time and there are fewer instances of it in the game. When it comes to scanner anomalies where you…

The Mako was never the problem with the Mako. It was the boring-as-hell repetitive planets that all consisted of a dull square of randomly generated terrain and pre-fab structures, crashed space probes, and mining nodes.

And now it’s just... “A sunny day. Oh that’s a weird space ship”

It’s just mind-boggling. I never could have guessed it would be this bad.

Misleading story. You were not vulnerable to getting hacked just for playing CP2077. You were vulnerable IF you played with a malicious mod installed.

All progress is about to be lost as we ease up everything far too early and let the new strains run wild.
