His point is that he is the better player right now. And he’s right.

Less than 1% of respondents in the Steam Hardware Survey had a VR setup of any kind. AAA publishers (besides Bethesda ports) have largely left the medium completely untouched. FIFA, Madden, Call of Duty, Assassin’s Creed (apparently the new expansion is bonkers), Fortnite, competitive multiplayer, RTS, RPG, and many…

This is dumb. Have you ever played Skyrim? You realize that everyone is Legolas in Skyrim, able to hold a drawn bow and move anywhere, strafe, turn, aim, zoom, whatever. What you’re saying is, you can’t do that in the VR version. It’s a drawback, a limitation. This is not imagined, but it’s impossible to have the…

There is also something very obviously gendered in the way each of these in-fights have been treated. The GOP and the Tea Party were either seen as principles men or crazy fundamentalist crack pots, but they’re white men, all of them, and their internal beefs seen as the same kind of macho posturing we expect from men…

It’s really not that bad. Some of the systems are a little obtuse, but the gameplay is simple, rewarding, and designed for short bursts. Plus, crafting takes 12-72 hours for a number of things, so you don’t have to be constantly online to manage things, just set the foundry up and come back in a few days.

It does strike me as a desperate attempt to return Congress to normalcy. Like she’s trying to tell the GOP, “Hey! Look! We are playing the game, can’t we just get back to backslapping and making tons of money like the good ol’ days?” At the same time, Pelosi is trying to get the progressive wing of the party to shut…

Yeah...would be nice if we were actually a party to the international criminal courts. A real shame, that.

Oh, it’s fucking deplorable. It’s her excuse, same as Biden, that government’needs to keep moving’, and ‘this is how the legislative sausage is made', ie, its gross and unconscionable, but what are we supposed to do, hold it up on ideological grounds? She expects this should win her some favor with McConnell when the…

Somebody should really be held in contempt for this.

I think the metaphor works, it’s just not very good. If you consider paté and sausage are both ground meat made into something edible, and paté is refined, elegant, in this case passing the perfect bill that does all the things they want, while sausage is coarse and quick and simple and palatable, in this case an…

An unfortunate mistake that you helped the person in the first place. None of them learn without pain, it seems. Would you could do it over again and only offer assistance once they understood how reality worked .

Morale is probably sky-fucking-high if they're all a bunch of murderous lunatics like this guy! They have the President vouching for their crimes, now. They're probably stoked and ready to go shoot and stab some people to death for the 4th of July in the Commander in Chief's name

That’s about as likely as our military disobeying orders and not rolling war machines through DC. How many people can even afford to miss 8 hours of wages? Or potentially getting fired or missing out on their tips or all the industries where that just can’t happen like health care or emergency services. The fact is…

I know, I have the same hopes as you. It's just so, so wearying.

And yet...she’s allowed to be there, tolerated, pandered to, sat with the President alongside the rest of the G20 leaders, and made a party to these discussions. The threat of angering Trump and thus America means anyone can do anything they want. Ivanka has the run of the place as much as if it were her own palace,…

The agency is run by people that condone this very violence. If anything, they’ll ask to be added to the group, not punish anyone found within it. 

Yeah! It would! If they were forced to spend the money on that! Is it really true they didn’t hand out soap and toothpaste because the US Government was out of fucking money to buy some Crest? The ICE and CBP budgets are just tapped out for the year? C’mon, seriously.

But there is absolutely nothing in the bill they passed that will save their lives.

In my limited forays into the game, I think a big part of the problem is that it isn’t solo-friendly at all. When I start an MMO, I like to play by myself for a while, get the hang of things so I don’t come off like a total idiot in my first group, and only get involved with a guild/Corp once I know I’m going to stick…

Which I guess puts it solely within the purview of congressional impeachment? I guess I was more meaning that it lacks any language to the effect that deliberately breaching the articles of the Constitution would be a crime in itself and be grounds for removal from office. That’s it’s a nebulous and imprecise thing to…
