The one time I get a little hype over a rumor and it turns out to be some NFT profile pictures or some shit lol. Only thing I can do is laugh 

It’s all BS anyways. None of these people would have ever voted democrat even if the economy was fine. They would find some other excuse like “illegal immigrants” to vote for a Republican ticket. You can’t win with willfully ignorant people. 

They were sliding before 2007.

Republican economic strategy:

And also how Republicans actually plan on tackling inflation? Because I’m pretty sure the Republican plan is to do nothing and still blame Democrats for the economy.  It's worked out well everytime.

“He’s not a far-right extremist, he was just motivated by far-right extremism” is a distinction without a difference.

I just like how he’s blown a large chunk of his on-paper fortune and potentially scuppered the rest of his “empire” in the process all to buy an infamously loss-making website just so he could stop randos from saying mean things about him online.

Easiest way to bankrupt this robber baron fascist is to not use twitter. Billions, and billions, and billions in loans. Tesla is losing money and falling way behind on the competition, and the U.S. Gov is questioning Elon’s mental stability and bad publicity associated with his racism and fascism tilt. Meaning the are…

It’s amazing how many people openly call it a hellscape and a shithole, acknowledge that it has no useful purpose as a site and in fact has instead significantly contributed to numerous societal problems, and yet still use it.

Good people, just leave Twitter. You really should have done it about 15 years ago, but we’ll let that go. DO IT NOW. And believe me, if you delete the rest of social media too, you’ll live happier. 

Price gouging “inflation”

Are you suggesting that distrust of the US military is right wing? Or that uncritical support and trust of the US government is a leftist position? Because if so you profoundly uninformed what the left is or believes.

In a series that has you shoot up an airport, it’s important to consider that maybe this sequence is supposed to make you feel bad. The game makes it clear from practically the start of the mission that you’re not supposed to cross the border, so everything you do past that point is wrong. The “de-escalation” phrasing…

They don’t ‘have to’. They want to make shareholders happy and they already cut their staffing to the bone. The only thing left is increased prices.

Let’s be realistic, the Democratic party loves the military, too. The only disagreement is on whether we should be shooting immigrants at the border or drone striking civilians in Iraq.  There are very few politicians on either side of the aisle in the USA who would ever dare suggest taking money away from the…

There’s a twist in the last half of the game where it’s revealed that US army general in conjunction with a PMC group are commiting war crimes in Mexico as an excuse to find an Iranian terrorist and they become the big bad for the rest of the game. So if anything the game takes a very big centrist stance on everything

Comparing this to a regular job pay is nonsensical. How many projects can a VA actor realistically get in a year? To make it ‘40 hours a week’ job all games on the market would have to be covered by the same handful of actors. Would you like it if characters in most games sounded the same?

You have to consider it in the context of freelance work. Any one job has to pay enough to keep you going for a LONG time, since you don’t know when the next job will show up. Also all game devs should be earning a lot more anyway, so that shouldn’t be an argument for keeping any particular role from earning more.

This baseless speculation needs to die. She had to audition for Bayonetta 3. If they wanted to get rid of her they would have just turned her down in the audition rather than do a lowball. People acting like they lowballed her to get rid of her have zero evidence that this is true and it doesn’t make sense given the…

They’re perfectly fine, I just think with a game this beloved people want a “A team” working on it and feel like “well enough” isn’t good enough. I’d almost have sympathy for that view, but given the fanbase I think they’d find reasons to bitch even if Santa Monica Studios was making it.
