Don't worry: there's no guarantee that there's going to be any kind of vote in 2020!

In Michigan, Clinton's margin could have been made up by voters who voted for downballot races but didn't vote for president at all.

Also, a 7.1/10 is a B-. So this "negative" review is "missing the consensus" (which, of course, isn't how averages work… a 7.1 average demands that lots of people score it lower) by one refined letter grade.

He either didn't do it or he's a shining example of one of those 100 guilty guys we're supposed to let go to protect the integrity of the justice system and ensure that not one innocent person goes to jail.

Hopefully he doesn't read this comment where I say "oh, wow, silly me, once I look at that picture for longer than a second it is very clear that he is not a twenty-something"!

Ah! Now that I actually look at the picture for longer than a second, I see that this is clearly not a twenty-something man!

When are these white men in fedoras going to stop ramming their feminist agenda down our throats?!

I think that point is both true and relevant. True because plenty of white people (even rich ones) didn't vote Trump, and relevant because there's no path back to victory for Democrats that doesn't involve at least holding steady at the current percentage of the white vote (and preferably grabbing a small bit of it…

Yeah, the feelings of sooky rich white people are definitely not getting enough attention in the aftermath of the election.

Technically, at the end of it they're stumbling into a riff on the Fishing Hamlet/Orphan of Kos segment of The Old Hunters. And they're doing this quest on behalf of the campaign villain, who very recently slaughtered some beloved NPCs and subjugated the entire town with overwhelming force.

I know you're playing the original, but Xenoblade Chronicles X is probably the perfect escapist experience right now: a sci-fi fantasy about a world where the heroes of the human race are huge believers in the value of multi-culturalism, respect for indigenous cultures and wildlife, and sound environmental stewardship.

So glad you're loving Skyward Sword! There's a lot of very cool stuff yet to come, including some jaw dropping boss fights and some really fun sword duels (since you're enjoying the controls!).

Yeah, Dark Souls seems a bit on the nose right now. If I want to reflect on the inevitability of civilizational decline, the slow dying of the Fire, and the coming Age of Darkness, I can just go read the fucking newspaper.

I'm playing Mega Man 2 a lot this week, which is probably not unconnected to the fact that it takes me back to a time when I didn't even know who Donald Trump was.

I believe you're correct, although I imagine that producing a consistent "autotune voice" sound probably does involve producing at least generally consistent timbres in your own voice (that is, you're not singing the melody that autotune is looking for, but you're doing something consistent with your voice so that the…

But didn't you look? Someone replied who actually is informed and it turns out I was fairly accurate! Not bad for a technical overview based on pure ratiocination.

I know that's not a real question, but the quality of your voice matters a lot when you're singing through autotune.

With the caveat that I'm garbage at scheduling because of my weird job, I would love to do some co-op Dark Moon!

Ah, the Marsh Cave! Boy, I had some seriously fingernail-ruining experiences trying to get in, get the crown, and get out alive. Due to, as you note, the huge excess of poisonous bullshit!

I gave my players the "denoument of last arc, intro to next arc" bit last night. Had an inspired idea to set the next arc in a wetlands and create my own race of elves: the swamp elves! Did some silly southern accents as my boathouse runnin' swamp elf NPC tells the heroes all about the region and sets them up with a…
