While this outcome does not come with a kiss by Judy at the end of the mission, it does not stop the romance. Judy will just say that Clouds under the control of Maiko hasn’t gotten better which is a heck of a lot better than having her be responsible for the death of the two Dolls who volunteered to help her.

Plenty.

Re: Character building... some thoughts:

Nope.  Never heard of him.  He’s famous with me for being Gary the Prophet in Cyberpunk 2077.

Yeah, I’ve tried the new knife throwing and it’s viable now but... still way underwhelming compared to a silenced Overture.  I don’t know if knives are any stealthier, but if not then there’s really no good reason other than aesthetic to bother with them. The new knives they added all seem to do less damage but have…

So even if you hack into a base and turn off all cameras, you can also hack them back on and then manually turn them off to double dip on hacking and engineering XP.

I don’t know how he even hires lawyers anymore. Can there possibly be anyone in the profession still who doesn’t know that the guy simply won’t pay them, won’t listen to their legal advice, and will probably tell them to do five illegal/unethical things by the end of their first day with him?

Yea, last time I checked ACTUAL history books

Pretty sure that ship sailed when they all voted for a thrice-married former reality TV show host and serial liar who was cheating on his third wife WHILE she was pregnant with his fifth child... or something like that.

I will also gladly buy some donuts while I’m there.

Cognitive dissonance is real. Conservative voters live in a media bubble that won’t let them see this news without the proper spin. The headline for this story over at Fox, last I looked, was how Ken Paxton “defended” himself from a media narrative about him running away.... despite the fact he actually DID THAT SHIT.…

If you had told me about social media in 1977, I would never have believed it.

There are apparently even older versions of this “counting rhyme” from all over the world, but this is one of those cases of racists appropriating something so thoroughly that even if it’s not technically “the original”, it might as well be by now.

Yeah, but it’s tricky. “Here’s a bunch of cool toys!” and then “But if you use them we’ll punish you!” doesn’t make for a fun game.

And it will probably work with their voters.

I’ve said it before. As long as people keep giving them money to develop the game, why would they stop... developing it?

Their logic is that they are sending them to places that want to help them.

as well as a sheriff in the heart of deep-red Texas

It’s true that the vote result for the referendum in Kansas was better for pro-Choice than the polls prior to the election would have suggested. It was around 50/50 in polling opinions on abortion being legal/illegal but the measure ended up defeated by something like 18 points.

Still has a fair number of minor bugs, some of which sometimes require me to save/reload. But nothing really too bothersome.
