I've been playing Monster Train and Hades. Monster Train is a deckbuilding cross with tower defence game. Each game takes about half an hour or so, and involves you trying to take the last bit of the fires of hell or something like that to restart the fires of hell. I dunno, who cares about the story. You get spells or units from card drops, can upgrade said cards for gold, and then get into fights where you beat up angels with monsters or spells. Kinda similar to Slay the Spire; maybe not quite as refined, but still a lot of fun, and has more variance. Hades is an isometric beat em up roguelike (roguelite?) with a neat story that leans into the roguelike mechanics, lots of meta advancement to make your character more powerful for successive runs, great music and a bonkers level of voiced dialogue. Most runs tend to end up differently, and there's incentives (by way of prophecies) to mess with different builds. Also, once you've beaten the game with a weapon, you have to take 'pacts' (voluntary handicaps) in order to get more rewards. Both of them are great imo.

Thanks dude. Yeah, it didn't really offer that strong a refutation.

It matters because of the things in the rest of the post that you didn't quote. Dems still win even if Republicans take Arizona, right?

Guess it depends. The fact that Trump lies so frequently (Forbes said 23 times a day in 2020, apparently Washington Post clocked him at 12 lies a day in his first year in office) means he's given a little bit less credit. It's easy to write off the occasional error as someone just not knowing the subject matter as well as they might, but if you continually obviously lie even when the facts are presented to you, that's a very different thing. It's difficult to know for sure how one might respond if Trump's responses were 'my bad, the figures were off, but that's not really the point' because that's generally not how he responds, he just follows up with another lie.

Frankly the quote "as to aoc, she is almost as much o' a fact checking nightmare as is trump." is more dishonest than anything said by AOC.

I'm honestly not that familiar with the fact checking websites you're referring to. A search for pants on fire got me to politifact, and when I searched AOC on that site, I saw a lot of hits for people lying about AOC, one hit that found that AOC's comments on Amazon were half true, and not much else. Factcheck.org gave me similar results, mostly lies about AOC, not by her. AOC comments being fact checked are one hit where she needed to brush up on her FDR related history knowledge, the bad maths on the Pentagon/healthcare thing, her being wrong on unemployment statistics, and her and Bernie interpreting a Koch brothers study on Medicare for All. (The author of that study said it reflected a 'misunderstanding of my study'. There is reference to other figures that the author of that study says he doesn't think is realistic. So over two years (seems to be about as far back as those sites go) we've got AOC being verifiably wrong like, 4 times?

I can't actually read that because it's paywalled, but the bits you've quoted don't actually mention AOC saying anything, and don't really refute what's being claimed in any meaningful way.

Seems a bit hasty to dismiss any ideas from an entire continent based on two leaders out of I'm not sure how many.

LOL it was Guy Fawkes Day.

Little bit of hyperbole? AOC's comments that earned her the 4 pinocchios were bad maths based mostly on misunderstanding the data, and although her response isn't ideal, she didn't try to double down. You had to go back 2 years to find some bad maths for AOC, if you track back about *checks twitter* 2 hours, you have Trump saying he won Georgia.

I do, but they all involve Republicans committing voter fraud or Trump somehow finding an executive order loophole that lets him become emperor or something like that.

It's because she's rad.

Yeah it's pretty gross how she keeps advocating policies like 'paying workers enough to live off of' and 'not destroying the planet' and 'allowing poor people to have access to medical care'.

I know when I was filling out my thousands of fraudulent ballots, it was easier to just tick the one box and move on.

The game IS called though, by every single news outlet. I mean, Infowars and Breitbart might not have called it, but I'm not going to check either of their sites because I don't want to be put on a right wing terror watchlist.

I know if I were in charge of rigging this election for the Democrats, I'd definitely leave known prince of the underworld Mitch McConnell in his position.

Extremely clever of the Democrats to steal the election but let the Republicans keep a fairly high number of senate and house seats. Cunning.

Hey there friends, just dropping in to say that it's extremely good that Trump will no longer be president next year. Next step, vote out every single Republican, abolish parties entirely, stop using the electoral college, switch to preferential voting... EDIT: also AOC 2024 imo

They have to share the seat in the oval office and take turns being the big spoon.

I've heard nothing but good things about Disco Elysium and if it wins RPG I'll be OK with that. If anything other than that or Outer Worlds wins I'll... I dunno, quietly disagree I guess, they're just popularity contests.

Think they confirmed this one as well.

You certainly are out of the loop, yes. Another loop you appear to be out of is that Obsidian had no input on the decision to be EGS (and Microsoft Store) exclusive for 12 months, so you're complaining on the forums of the wrong company.

Like I said, not many videos. But since we've been informed that every character looks like a lesbian, and lesbians are women, we can safely deduce that all the characters are women. QED.

They look like women. I haven't watched that many of the videos, but I can only assume that there are almost no male characters. Bold choice.

I assumed Daven was having a jape, doing a very clever impersonation of a stupid person.
