Listening to some of these people jaw at the cops and some are saying "If we were BLM you wouldn't be roughing us up" Also some dude saying they don't want socialism. Also, saying the cops would let ANTIFA walk in. Oh man, this is a great comedy show, feel sorry for the cops having to endure this nonsense.

Looks like someone is taking a souvenir with them.

Nope

Ironically before the proceedings on the capital and the mob riot Trump had a rally with all of those people and he was laying it on thick there. In fact it would not be a stretch to say that he incited them to do exactly what they did. I’m afraid I agree with Bill Kristol. Once the capitals cleaned out Congress should reconvene and impeach him. January 20 is too long a wait

This is turning into some bizarro reverse Tianmanen.

The US did use the Roman Republic as a model. Invading the Capitol with a mob was a pretty established tradition there especially in the later republic when the strain was showing.

Soooooo much bigger. When did ANTIFA occupy anything near this scale?

Sorry but I need to correct you, I am just speaking alternate patriotic truth by stating that true patriotic Capitol troops support true and only leader of America, God Emperor Trump

It only gets used on leftists and Black people.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe they’re not paid by the hour LOL

I keep seeing that prediction being kicked around like it means something. We're already in two wars, inherited from Bush/Cheney. Do you mean a new one? Because eight years of Obama/Biden didn't see us enter a new war, unless you count Syria (which is already related to the Iraq war thanks to ISIS).

Since there's GamePass they don't necessarily need to only develop big games. Microsoft wants lots of content for GamePass which might lead to more small(ish) games being developed. Fingers crossed!

Jonathan Swan Describes How Lincoln Project Pence Ad Set Off Trump: He Was ‘Enraged’ “The president didn’t realize Pence had this ceremonial role — he didn’t know about it until very recently. And the way he found out about it was the Lincoln Project came up with this ad… and they ran it just in the DC market. Mostly on Trump’s favorite shows on Fox, designed for an audience of one. And the ad sort of, in an over the top ominous framing, points out to their audience of one that Pence actually plays this role and will be sort of putting the ceremonial sound of death to President Trump’s presidency. Trump sees this ad, becomes enraged ,and begins to take this up with Mike Pence privately.” HA! Good Fun!

Just finished Disco Elysium. It's probably the best written game I've played in years. Was very impressed lots of times. The middle part was a bit boring, because the game made you run around a lot, and also started throwing lots of exposition around. However, it got better again to the end. Making this game must have been an incredible amount of work.

I wonder if Pence wishes he had retired in '16 like he was planning to. In other news The Democrats have total control for two years. As long as they don't try to do something stupid like expand the Supreme Court you likely won't know the difference. Really what are they going to do? Spend trillions of dollars on ineffectual government programs, military expansion, foreign aid to hostile nations? Currency devaluation, debt explosion, and down the road hyper-inflation and ultimately currency collapse? Puh-leaze. This was happening with the Republicans in control so like I said... you won't know the difference. Bit Coin is nothing. It is literally air. I could not hand you a bit coin. It does not actually exist. Bit it's worth $35k and going up. Gold has an actual value of around $900 US per oz. It's around $2k right now. Commodities and real assets (income generating real estate for example) are climbing in price. This is significant. These are hedges against inflation. If the government hands you a check for $2k but it's actual buying power is $1k but still incurred $2k in real debt have they really helped you? Anyway, I'm not terrible worried about it. I have done all I can do to protect myself and my dog from any kind of government mismanagement or economic collapse. I'll give you guys the same advice I always give and it would be the same no matter who wins: If you are in debt get out. If you are not in debt don't go in Have as many credit cards as you can but use them sparingly. Pay off whatever you spend every month if you can. Invest in real assets and large cap stocks. Do NOT buy bonds. If you are keeping yourself out of debt why in the world would buy someone else's? If you want to gamble buy Crypto. Save money. But not cash. Do not keep your savings in a regular bank account. Hell don't even bury it in the yard. Inflation when it comes (and you better believe it IS coming) is like a tax on savings. So DO something with that saving that brings back value. Invest it.

I really don't think they're gonna close down so don't worry. They just need to not try to make games that shoot for the stars and learn to operate within a more reasonable scope. That's why I'm looking to From Software and Obsidian with more optimism in the future; they know how to craft very well made games within a well defined and carefully structured playing field.

Is this really fair ? Did they mislead gamers around the terrible performance on consoles ....arent they going to address this ? CDPR is an excellent company and I would hate this to lead to them closing down I can understand the share price drop but this will recover so basically this is about angry console gamers....not really such a big deal. Its a game after all

Those are the prices we get in Europe...

finally watched the third season of true detective and season 1 of doom patrol. every main character performance in true detective were great, and that includes stephen dorff. (pausing for effect and self reflection. stephen dorff?) even so, something were missing and am not sure what to identify as the problem. too much flash-forward, flash-middle and flash-back... and then flash mostly forward but not quite full forward? too much flashing? enjoyed the show overall, but nevertheless felt let down 'cause it just seemed as if so many great performances did not add up to a genuine great show. good show. enjoyed doom patrol in spite of our low expectations. am thinking some of what guardians of the galaxy did right were captured with doom patrol. similar team-as-surrogate-family-drama, with tongue firm in cheek for a large % of season one. also saw ww84. ... a movie in need o' serious editing. HA! Good Fun!

I truly believe their best creation was tyranny. That game allows me to live my evil fantasies without feeling guilty

I watched the first two episodes. Feels like I already know where this is going ... Today I'll watch the new Expanse, so maybe I will continue with Cobra Kai tomorrow. We'll see... Oh, I also started watching Inuyashiki, because I thought why not. So far quite interesting. Will see if this follows up like every other anime and gets boring later or if it will keep me entertained till the end.

Based on all the comments, it's more than a "bit" buggy. A good effort but still largely unusable outside of goofing off or maybe non-combat walking screenshots. Anyway ... I totally understand wanting 3rd but I think I'll stick with first, unless they officially add it in at some point. What I wish this game had was a more permanent companion - and I don't mean in-your-head Keanu, but someone like Jackie with you all the time. Am I correct in assuming you only get paired with others for a mission and they disappear to "wait" for you somewhere else, if at all? Sigh. Makes me want to reinstall FO4 just to have the dog around again. I know! Cyber-dog companion DLC, anyone? I'd buy it.

You call this "moderate" and "reasonable"? Good God man how far right are you?

is not possible. but again, this administration has done illegal and impossible many times. is not legal possible, but if senate were to be complicit and the Court decided that the issue were a nonjusticiable political question... impossible or illegal is only having meaning if the people with power involved accepts rule of law. example: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/05/953738158/in-explosive-debate-pa-gop-refuses-to-swear-in-reelected-democratic-senator am repeating, but what if mitch mcconnell refuses to accept Presidential and runoff results and a senate majority backs him? what if the Court refuses to hear any election related issues, asserting that all such is non-justiciable political questions? am not suggesting such will happen, but is so many things which has occurred the previous four years we thought were impossible. at the moment it don't appear as if the trump loyalists have a majority in senate or house supporting the unconstitutional efforts to reject state certifications. moot. even so, has been numerous times in the last four years when illegal happened with support o' the senate. 'course by tomorrow afternoon it may be clear the senate minority leader is mitch mcconnell. will change the dynamic significant IF that happens, and not necessarily for the better. biden may wish to heal old wounds, but many democrats will be looking not only for change but for payback. republicans claiming payback rights has been a big reason why the last four years were such a mess. an eye for an eye for an eye for an eye... HA! Good Fun!

just to be sure, bruce understands that the democrat candidates are not taking a lead in any real sense. votes from an election which already happened is being tallied, yes? personal, am ordinarily in favor o' gridlock from Congress, but perdue and loeffler is both so utter skeevy and contemptible is no way we could support either. freaking gaetz threw loeffler under the bus? HA! Good Fun!

Not really. The South appears to be going through some kind of weird phase since like 2017 or something. Some kind of mood shift. From Nixon->Trump the south was always considered a Red stronghold but it's become strangely complex in recent years.

3rd Person mod is out! A bit buggy but so is the rest of this game https://www.nexusmods.com/cyberpunk2077/mods/669

Democrats winning both seats seems most likely out come. They have become quite good with their strategic vote dumps

And back in reality, there is no path of victory remaining for Warnock's opponent, Warnock has been given a >95% chance to win (final margin likely to be a ~2 point victory). There is only the smallest sliver of a chance for Ossof's opponent to win, but it is very small indeed (6%). We're just waiting for one particular Atlanta county to drop its results before this is called for at least Warnock and possibly Ossof as well. (e): And there you go, Warnock has officially taken the lead back, with Ossof only very slightly trailing (but with the big drop without any surprise shift, his opponent also no longer has any remaining path of victory).

A few experts have already called it for Warnock, and Ossof is looking better and better as well. Looking pretty likely to be a 50-50 Senate. Wow, Georgia! (e): Warnock at over a 90% chance now, Ossof just outside of 80% (the margin of error). Could thankfully have this settled by tonight.

The fact they covered Home Alone and Die Hard means they've already covered the best Xmas movies.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Express thought Norway was in the EU. If they're better than the Scum or the Daily Fail it's only because they have less people reading.

I normally wouldn't mind a split Congress, but these are unusual times (and also, at best, it'd be a 50-50 split so nothing too radical for the Democratic agenda with the few more conservative senators like Manchin still around). There's nothing more I'd like to see than that ghoul McConnell lose Senate Majority Leader.

You sick bastard! Get well soon Katphood. And may your dad stay safe.

Hope you recover quickly and your dad never gets it.

For what it's worth, here are the Metacritic scores: * Pillars of Eternity -- 89 * Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire -- 88 * Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords -- 85 * South Park: The Stick of Truth -- 85 * Fallout: New Vegas -- 84 * Neverwinter Nights 2 -- 82 * The Outer Worlds -- 82 * Tyranny -- 80 * Dungeon Siege III -- 72 * Alpha Protocol -- 72

How about an interstellar post-apocalyptic setting in which the habitable planets of the galactic empire have been turned to rubble by giant death machines? That would save the developers the trouble of building world settings; instead it's all bases built from surviving freighters, outposts, recycled spacecraft, and other relics. Your job is to help rebuild a federation of new colonies, while destroying the last of the death machines.

I'd probably be forced to join the people who were murdered faction. My weapon would be the stench from my rotting corpse.

I'd have to imagine that DLC production was slowed down by the pandemic, much like the Switch port ended up being delayed. I don't know how much outsourcing was done on The Outer Worlds, for example, but a lot of developers in China who handle that sort of stuff would have to either have transitioned to work from home or closed altogether for a while, and this all the way back to the end of last year. Then you get Obsidian transitioning to WFH themselves, and it's easy to see how development would slow down as pipelines get adapted to the new workflow. The game's still getting a Switch port and a Steam release, so, while it's not ideal to release DLC this late into its lifecycle, it can still make a come back in the news thanks to that (and we don't know *what* kind of DLC plans they have... is it a single big DLC? Smaller packs? If it's a single big DLC than the wait also makes more sense).

I would love Poe 3 .

Two years later, on a Linux box, this problem still exists. geissomatik is correct, it does seem to be an issue with games being saved within a few seconds of each other, or with characters that haven't changed location. It can be worked around, but it's a fairly annoying bug, and I can't imagine it would be all that difficult to fix.

Haven't played Deadfire yet, so no clue why it struggled financially. Hopefully they're still going to make a PS4 version, as that's solely what I play games on these days.

Pathfinder fans on it's steam forums complain a lot about turn based vs real time and yes, they are totally unfamiliar with *let it go* playstyle. I got impression people thought Pathfinder is turn based because you have party members, like in those JRPGS.

I kept running into this problem - I'd save a game, then later go back to check, and it was GONE. I think I found the cause. It happened to me specifically when I would pause the game, save; then, still paused, do stuff (manage inventory, level up, etc), and save again under a different savegame name. But when I did this, it would NUKE the previous savegame! I suspect the reason is in colliding savegame filenames. They seem to be a hash of the main player's name (or something like that), then a timestamp, then the map location. The filenames do not actually include the text you type into the UI when saving; those are inside the file. So if you save two games that are very close together in time, and on the same map, *they will collide* and try to use the same filename. So the second one you save will overwrite the first, and the first will just disappear. I did a quick test and if I unpause for just a few seconds and move a meter or so, then save again, the collision does not happen. So - after each save, if you just unpause for a few seconds before saving again (and/or move a few feet), you should be OK. Obsidian could easily fix this issue by adding a short hash of the savegame name (that you type into the UI) to the savegame filename.
