Well made, sure, but better than every other game this year? Especially after the toxic work conditions and crunch that were exposed at ND?

THIS. If he wanted to make a statement about the horrible things you’ve done as a player, pacifist runs should be possible (at least with living enemies). When every set piece hinges on you murdering everyone to advance, it sort of undermines the whole experience.

Yup, same for me. I was a Square fan and we got our N64 before I heard that Square was jumping ship to Sony. I ended up hating Mario 64 and OoT and finally got a Playstation and FF7 in 1998. Never looked back.

Hot take: The Nintendo 64.

YUP. Just ONCE I’d like to see a Democrat run on the obvious: we gave trickle-down nearly FORTY YEARS to work, and it’s been a failure for 99% of the population. I want them to just bluntly say it during a debate: if it works, shouldn’t Americans be far better off than they were 40 years ago? 

We put ours up the day before election day and spent that hellish week decking the halls (one of the beauties of having a fake tree). My mom and I are (and always have been) Christmas Fanatics, and we needed some cheer after the hell that was 2020. 

I consider Reagan to be the HIV to Trump's AIDS. We didn't get here overnight, and the seeds of a lot of our current problems were firmly planted in the 80s.

My mom tells a story about my Nana‘s reaction to Reagan becoming president. Nana was a teen/young adult during the depression, and her dad spent day after day wandering New York, looking for a job. They were dirt poor until about 1947.

I honestly think we should have a separate clothing storage. I had to start up a second character JUST to have a place to stash all my seasonal stuff because clothing is eating up my inventory. I don’t even visit the Ables anymore because I just don’t have space.

For me it’s sorta like a virtual dollhouse. Something I play for a few hours at night to unwind from the day. I’ve clocked about 600 hours, so... Yeah. I guess I’m enjoying it?

I ended up grinding on this squid boss in Tantal. Driver combos+the correct equipment and you can get legendary cores pretty quickly. It still took a while, but I managed to get everybody (thank God for Tora and Poppi).

We usually wait until the first “must have” game before we jump into a new console, so we usually adopt in year 2 or 3. The only console we’ve ever gotten at launch was the Switch, and it was 100% worth it for portable Zelda.

“Reform the police” would have probably gone down smoother, and that’s basically the same, right?

My uncle laid this out for me when I was flabbergasted about the Cubans backing Bush in 2004: The Cubans who fled Castro in the 60s were the fascists. They were the plantation owners or folks who were enriched by the dictator we were propping up. So now we have 2nd and 3rd generation Cubans in FL who have grown up…

Naaah, nah, nah. As much as I’d love some sweet revenge, that sort of attitude is what galvanized the Nazis. What we need to do is approach them and show them that Democratic rule isn’t scary, and do what we can to give them a hand via passing job bills and retraining and the like. If they’re not desperate, they’re…

Out here in Cali people were cleaning out the alcohol for Biden parties. Got my champaign for our victory mimosas! The vibe at the grocery store was amazing!

What we NEED to do is work on BRANDING. “Defund the police” to your average Joe sounds like we’re gonna fire all cops and live in a lawless hellscape. How about “Police Improvement” or “demanding a gold standard for law enforcement”? Make it sound like we’re GIVING people something rather than taking it away. The…

I always thought the abortion movement was more about keeping poor people and minorities tethered to shit jobs. It's hard to strike for better working conditions when you have kids to feed.

Latinos, unfortunately, after a few generations essentially become white. They’re trending socially conservative, too, so... 2050 might not bring the change we’re hoping for.
