I don't see how Biden getting reelected is that big reverse shift or even how there's a path towards it, at all, beyond an outright cataclysm resetting things in some way. Basically, my worry is that the political course we are in is already inevitable, and that we cannot hope for better beyond delaying it, especially when big financial interests have already significantly compromised the systems in place originally designed to avoid what is already happening.

It's not a view, it is just a statement of fact. The only way one can consider this is not a fight for democracy and the rule of law in the US is if you believe the fight has already been lost. Between the fall of Roe v Wade, the ruling on Presidential immunity for official acts, and the gutting of chevron deference, perhaps the game is already done, even if Trump loses the election. I guess that to roll back what has already happened, then the next election would have to give the dems the presidency, the house and a 60 seat majority in the Senate. But I'd really like someone more knowledgeable than me to chime in.

Even just 1 or 2 points on that list would be a catastrophe for the US. In any case, Trump is easily manipulated. If the right people have access to him, a lot can be made to happen.

I'm really curious to hear what @Gromnir has to say about the recent Supreme Court decisions. Seems like that's where the consequential stuff is happening right now.

Portraits V
Pidesco replied to Amentep's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
This is an old portrait I found today lying around. It's an actual early revision of an Obsidian Deadfire portrait, I think Kaz or Lindsay may have worked on it. I thought someone might be interested in it as it is a Pale elf option. Also, there's no sepia version of the portrait. -

Pidesco replied to melkathi's topic in Computer and Console
Shamefully, I actually only finished New Vegas today. My two main playthroughs is this one, where I left a bunch of stuff not done nor explored, and went with the wild card ending. The other one, over 10 years ago, I did about everything except for some straggling quests and, critically, the actual ending. It would have been an NCR ending. Next I'm considering Tyranny which I've restarted a dozen times but never finished, Storm of Zehir which I also never finished, an evil MotB run, or a new NV playthrough with only Arcade Gannon and a robot as companions. Or something non Obsidian. My backlog is humongous. -
