Avowed actually fared pretty well, and I already finished Outer Worlds 2 on the 3070, but I now have upgraded my GPU. ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V - DDR4 - 32 GB INNO3D RTX 5080 X3 OC Crucial MX100 512GB Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 - 4 TB Dell U3415W 2 Dualshock 4 gamepads Antec P101 Silent Seasonic CORE GC 650 Obviously I spent too much but hopefully it will serve me well until the next decade.

The All Things Political Topic - world tidings
In Portugal a neonazi organization was recently found to be heavily armed, doing military training, and planning operations to goad Muslims into violence. Over ten members of the organisation were found to also be members of Chega, the Portuguese Conservative party totally not right wing fascist.

Build Thread 3.0
ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 AMD Ryzen 5 3600 G.Skill Ripjaws V - DDR4 - 32 GB ASUS GeForce RTX 3070 OC Edition 8GB Crucial MX100 512GB Seagate Barracuda ST4000DM004 - 4 TB Dell U3415W 1 Dualshock 4 gamepad and 1 ds5 Antec P101 Silent Seasonic CORE GC 650 Given the rampocalypse, I'm trying to decide whether to get a 5070 ti or a 5080 right now. The first already goes for 1000€ around here, while the second seems stable for now at 1300€. I was actually planning to buy a gpu along with an AM4 cpu and a new monitor after the summer, but it seems like it's a bad idea to wait now. Also last year I ended up ignoring advice to buy a 5700x3d, and obviously I'm now regretting it. What do you think? The monitor would be a QD-OLED thing, ultrawide.

Question regarding OST
I see that there is a soundtrack only dlc now for avowed, while I have the artbook/avowed dlc. You got the soundtrack dlc with the premium edition?

Question regarding OST
I have the premium edition and can only access the soundtrack through the app, as far as I know. So far it's the same with OW2.

Question regarding OST
You have access to the Avowed soundtrack separately?

First both Houses are entirely toothless. Entirely. They will either endorse whatever comes out of this administration, or ah-hum their way to the apocalypse, with vague hand wringing about norms and civility. As for the courts, the system is slow, but the Supreme Court has already clearly shown who it stands with. Congress, lol.

The All Things Political Topic - What's Going On...?
While my examples were more generic authoritarian than fascist, a significant portion of Eco's list already applies to a tee to current situation in the US. That said, at this point, differentiating between authoritarianism and fascism is at best an interesting rhetorical exercise, at worse a distraction. Also whether the situation now is better or worse than in the Lindberg days, is really not that important. More important is where American political institutions and discourse stand now compared to ten, twenty or forty years ago. I'd argue things are moving in the wrong direction and accelerated dramatically with Trump's accession this year. Regarding your disappointments, I wasn't really surprised myself with either media or tech companies capitulating to Trump. Tech companies especially weren't so much capitulating but rather going mask off in the name of profits. Not all of them are run by complete nutso Peter Thiel, but the Zuckerbergs and Bezos and Musks of the world are not that far removed from Thiel.
