So basically everyone is in shock right now and we'll see where its at in a month or so? Would love to hear from people like Gromnir now, who always said that something like this would never ever happen because this or that.

So is anything happening in America now, to deal with the Trump/Musk situation? All I read is stuff about taxes and tariffs. People write that what's going on is madness, but it seems nobody on the government side is really doing anything against it? Thus it actually can't be that bad? What's going on? It's been half a week now and it feels to me like the media is barely reporting this stuff, if at all... instead everyone jumps on the tariffs, as if it's a very nice distraction.

Interesting art style. Makes me want to check it out, at least.

Is it? Sounds to me like what gangsters do, at least in the movies.

Can someone tell me that this is all hyperbole and not really happening like that, and everything will be fine? 😄

That s2 somehow didn't click with me at all. Was surprised to see it getting praised so much on the internet, tbh. So maybe this is just a me-issue because I had different expectations... dunno. Kind of just suffered through it till the end because there was nothing better to watch.

If I ask the people in my area for why they are voting right, it's always the same garbage build on lies and "feelings."

Everywhere in Europe the right wing parties are winning, mostly based on lies and manufactured outrage. Russian troll farms are pretty good at making us fight against each other.

Damn, I forgot how nice Deadfire looked. I'm currently playing BG3 and I have to say... Deadfire with that engine would be absolute fire. Being able to interact with everything, jumping all over the map, the whole mechanics, etc... very nice. Also in hindsight I'm pretty sure the real time with pause has hurt the gaming experience. Was never much a fan of it anyways, but playing BG3 now again just proves it to me.

I mean, Russia has already won on the propaganda war front, so..

Does he know anything else but tariffs.

So I started playing BG3 again. Stopped a few months ago, because somehow it didn't grab me too much / it felt hard and complicated. Anyways, I binged the last 2 days, because apparently now it has clicked with me. Starting to get into what's all possible and such... Like, yesterday just for lolz I picked up one of those tiny rats that came all on me and threw it onto another rat... and that was a bad day for both rats. I lol'd. Still. This game feels so huge and I can't shake off the feeling that my characters and stats aren't great and that I should rather restart... but I just don't have the time to restart. Sinking another 30 or what hours into the game just to get back to where I am right now is not something I'd be looking forward to.

So apparently Trump is removing income tax now? Can that really be done? Does anyone know what would happen after? Would he increase sales tax and wouldn't that mean literally everything gets more expensive for everyone? /Edit: Apparently this stuff gets submitted like once per year and is always blocked.

Watched the new Nosferatu. Not bad, very atmospheric. Makes me want to play more Bloodborne.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how surprised is Bruce right now

Doom: The Dark Ages is also 80€ lol. Looks like I'm not buying games on release anymore.

American Primeval was ok-ish, I guess. Didn't hate it, didn't really love it either. Tbh I was surprised they would show the violent Mormon history on tv. This is probably the first time in a wild west movie/show that I saw it as a theme. The mormons really did some f'd up things back in the days, but it felt like everyone completely forgot about it.

They need the DRM at least in the first few months. It has a *huge* influence on the revenue, even if people don't want to believe it. And GOG games are regularly shared on you know what sites.

Playing it on 1440p is not a good idea at this point. It's still quite unstable on everything but the default screen resolution. On that one it's super stable now, though. (only can crash after approx 2 hours due to memory leak) If you have intel, you need this mod or you'll get the crashes that you just described https://www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/mods/41 You might also need the vertex explosion fix mod, though for me personally it's working fine now since the latest version, and all I have installed is the intel crash fix. https://www.nexusmods.com/bloodborne/mods/109 And you need to use diego's build (activate nightly build in settings) https://github.com/diegolix29/shadPS4/releases I have played through the whole game, beat every boss, visited every area, started NG+ and almost finished it now as well, without pretty much any issues.

Because he will end his presidency or because he's died of bad health till then? 😄

Well, I don't complain about that one because I won't be playing it. 😄 Haven't played GTAV either, and still don't feel the mood to do so. RDR2 was the exception, because I'm digging wild west theme very much, but still it was clear as day how dated R* approach to modern gameplay is... it just doesn't exist. They still make the same game as 20 years ago, just with better graphics.

Funny to see all those people trying to explain this away with "he said my heart goes out to you" and crap like that. What a dog whistle. This world is mad.

Jesus Christ.
