US Elections 2016
Bernie also polled better in the initial batch of Southern states than he actually ended up doing - another part of why I'm greatly afraid of Florida. And unfortunately, the fact that the South almost certainly won't vote for the Democrats either way has little bearing on the nomination process itself. :/

US Elections 2016
There's still Florida to account for, which is a very large amount of delegates, and which he is polling horribly in. Tying (or, in this case, slightly winning) Michigan was very important for him to remain at least sort of viable, but now we're on to the next very frightening milestone, one which, if the rest of the South is any indication, he might very well lose badly. Still, at least there is at least some optimism remaining after today, when it was widely predicted there wouldn't be.

US Elections 2016
According to fivethirtyeight (the most accurate pollster/aggregate pollster, supposedly?), the previous greatest upset in American primary history was Walter Mondale winning the Democrat NH primary while trailing 17.1 points. Clinton lead Bernie by 21.3 in Michigan. It might not end up mattering in the grand scheme of things, but at least he can stick that feather in his cap, I guess. (e): Well, assuming he actually ends up winning, that is. Detroit doesn't like him very much, it seems.

Main Story, an atheist cliche?
Ah, that explains why I didn't see this pile of garbage before it was already 8 pages long.

What You Did Today Thread
Why do you randomly put put two empty lines between some paragraphs, and one empty line between others? Your posts drive me crazy whenever I read them. ._. Personally, I always have my Steam profile set to completely private, so I can get away with just blocking the undesirables (that for whatever reasons I can't/shouldn't remove), which prevents them from seeing I'm online or what I'm playing. However, for friends who are also friends with some of my other friends, it runs too much of a risk that they might be talking to one another and one might notice I'm online while the other will see that I'm not, so to be safe, I block all of them. This doesn't seem ideal in your case, because you like playing with your other friends that he is also friends to, but you can at least play stuff in peace. (e): Also, ideally, yes, do what Malcador said. I've done what I've described, but I've also done what Malcador has said, and it's generally much better to do it that way.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
At this point, I don't think much of value was truly lost here, as the studio was just a shell of its former self. A shame that the company's plans (perhaps dreams, more accurately) for their games were never fully realized, and that they're gone entirely now, though. The first time I played through Fable: The Lost Chapters many years ago, and my experimentation in Black & White, are good memories - although I knew next to nothing about the two games going in, which probably explains why I wasn't so horribly disappointed as so many others were. Still.

What are you playing right now?
Because they're so horrendously unenjoyable. Going through the idiotic blizzard area with the randomly charging horses and going through Iron Passage...literally just so bad I never wanted to play a Souls game ever again. Maybe part of it was because by that point, I was starting to feel more like one of those people who just doesn't like Souls games rather than the DS "veteran" I was supposed to be, but whatever - that crap was horrific.

What are you playing right now?
For me, so far it's Dark Souls > Bloodborne >>> Dark Souls II >>> Dark Souls II DLC. I haven't played Demon Souls...yet. The Dark Souls II DLC is the most horrendous gameplay of any Souls game I've played so far, though, with every one of the new areas being uniquely awful in an entirely different way. I'm truly impressed how they managed to make someone who's played through about 95% of DS1 (including DLC) on NG7 at SL1 just absolutely loathe DS2, but they managed to do it.

US Elections 2016
The South is a gigantic number of delegates, though, and while he's projected to do better outside of it, he's not projected to do so well he can make up for being absolutely crushed in the South, which is why he's currently projected to lose. He's also currently losing in Florida and Michigan, the latter of which he needs to be winning, and the former of which he needs to be at least sort of close... There's nothing to misunderstand, Bruce. That's good, because you are, after all, the one making all the posts that you are constantly making that have made us regard you this way.

Bloodborne. My opinion of it is a lot better than my opinion of Dark Souls 2 so far, so that's nice. Much more fast-paced like DS1 was...

Blame Social Justice Warriors for Donald Trump
My point was, that if Trump actually wins based off of this current "self-destructive" platform (and those who vote for him are presumably pleased with his presidency), then why wouldn't future GOP nominees emulating him have just as good of a chance as he did, thereby averting this so-called "self-destruction"? Wouldn't the GOP voter base picking a radical and a outsider that totally *fails* to win the presidency be a greater destructive force in the GOP, instead of one who can actually win? The latter is the GOP evolving to nominate the president its voter-base wants and actually being successful at carrying them to the White House - the former is demonstrating that the GOP and its voter-base have failed, and will probably continue to fail unless something changes (which may or may not happen regardless of circumstances).

Blame Social Justice Warriors for Donald Trump
Isn't winning the Republican nomination already more than enough for that, ktchong? You want Trump to win the presidency so it breaks the Republican party, because they'll just emulate him...but if he wins the presidency doing that, isn't the logical conclusion that future Republican nominees like him will do the same? (...Unless his presidency is horrific, of course, in which case the GOP will likely distance themselves from him as much as possible, particularly as he's already an outsider to begin with.)

VR 8K per eye, but the vast majority of developers still won't be able to make competent face animations...

Nvidia Pascal to launch in June
I'm aware, however, that has not been the case for, what, almost a decade now? (e): Since they were at least close, that is.

I mean, it's not like nvidia and AMD haven't at least been comparable. Intel and AMD, on the other hand...
