The other problem with the “end game” in BL3 is that it can really trivialize your action skills. For instance, when using Moze’s “best” build to it’s optimal effect you’re almost never getting into Iron Bear. I think this disadvantages Zane more than any other character because his digi-clone goes down almost…

The goal posts of the progressive movement are right where they’ve been for decades now. What you’re noticing is more akin to a trail of breadcrumbs leading towards what progressives actually want. You pick up one crumb, only to have a crowd of very frustrated people shouting at you to move on to the next one.

When Democrats choose an “electable” candidate, they lose.

I can understand the strategic decision she’s made to drag her heels on this, based on her concern that the Democrats might be painted as raving, slanderous partisans. She wants to look reluctant, she wants it to appear that Trump is forcing her hand. She wants to look like “the adult in the room”.

Will this over-wrought pile of bullshit be the thing that finally exposes Gladwell as the too clever by half pompous idiot he really is?

Modi has followed the fascist handbook in his climb to power pretty closely. His concentration camps for Indian Muslims are even a step or two ahead of Trump’s “detention centers” for Latin migrants.

Oh look, a pair of Fascists holding hands.

What they see in people like the climate teens and the gun teens is the death of their entire neo-fascist movement. The kids today represent an existential threat to nationalism and corporatism on a global scale.

I expect him to resist, because he knows that at least New York now has enough on him to send him to jail. I hope you’re right that the armed forces/WH security will be ready to remove him by force without sparking armed revolts.

I don’t want Trump to be rewarded for attempting to extort political favors from a foreign head of state.

As someone who isn’t fluent in Japanese, even I know it’s nearly impossible to translate a 280 character Japanese tweet to a 280 character English tweet without losing nuance or changing the tone.

Yea, she spent the weeks following the first debate apologizing and waffling and backtracking on everything she did right during the debate. She showed herself to be the ultimate flip flopper, with no ideological core. I normally hate that term because I believe politicians should grow and change over time. I could…

I’m on a few of their mailing lists, and Kamala’s have been getting increasingly desperate the last month or so as well. Kind of petty too, this last one was whining about how much money Bernie and Warren had as if it’s unfair to her that they’re better at attracting donors that she is.

It’s the fandom for Critical Role, the first really successful live play D&D stream.

Or that, despite this being an issue raised about a character in Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3 has a white character appropriating African American Vernacular English.

I love Bernie, and I hope that when Warren is elected president he continues to be an important ally in marshaling public support and Congressional votes for their shared Progressive agenda.

I would argue that the reselling of physical media is part of what made indie game development so unsustainable until the rise of the digital marketplace. It wasn’t just the upfront investment to produce the physical goods themselves, but the fact that the “long tail” that indie devs survive on today didn’t exist. You…

….or maybe that’s incentive to make games worth keeping? There are some games I own digitally that I want to keep, basically forever, because I’ve really enjoyed them and might be interested in another play through.

The only solution I can think of is if Steam allows you to sell your license, but only at full price and the seller only gets a tiny cut of the money?

Some might celebrate this as a win for consumer rights, or a kick in the dick to a huge corporate entity.
