    Vermin Supreme is easily the best person to have run for office for the entirety of the existence of the US.

    It doesn't sound like an excuse and teachers themselves usually do the best they can, but I still think that education in the US is lacking in that regard (as well as many others). There's really no easy way to fix it and I personally have no ideas that don't involve the dissolution of the USA. Anyways it looks we had one of the hottest temperatures recorded and a heat wave but climate change isn't a big deal (and is probably fake news) because it was cold in December.

    That had she-elephants break down in tears.

    I want a codpiece revolver like Sex Machine in From Dusk Till Dawn.

    New Vegas, which is also the source of DT. It's a good idea but one that's not necessarily appropriate for every game. Factions have generally been disappointing in the PoE series so if they return in a hypothetical PoE3 I'd prefer if they got an overhaul.

    So it's weird to go back to this after getting used to Pathfinder 2e, but I'm looking forward to the official turn based mode. For anyone playing the beta, how does it feel?

    I learned more about the Confederacy and colonialism from a smattering of 10< minute articles than I did in 13 (k-12) years of the Texas public school system. Admittedly Texas tends to rank poorly in terms of public education, but poor historical education seems to be consistent in the US regardless of state when it comes to the more unsavory aspects of history involving the US and pre-US colonies. I'm not sure if there is any real solution, but it's something I've been thinking about lately.

    It's an open world game designed around first person view and the end of the trailer emulates Skyrim to the point it could be mistaken for a screenshot. It may have more complex mechanics and will almost certainly have a more complicated story than Skyrim, but comparisons and valid and probably something intended by Obsidian.

    I think they're all terrible, and there's an argument to be made that the office of president of the usa requires someone to act terribly regardless. In specific terms, Harris was the top cop in California (her words) and as such was instrumental in the justice system that has been protested against for two months now (the same applies to Klouchbar, who I believe declined prosecuting the cop who kneeled on George Floyd's neck). Maybe that's not as terrible as the rest, but it's not anything to get enthusiastic about from my perspective. I'm pretty sure GD will dislike her for the same reasons he dislikes every Democrat, and the three resident Trump simps hate her for incoherent conspiracy theories they cobbled together from facebook memes and trumpy bear commercials.

    Put the protesters on paid leave pending investigation.

    Huh, median income in NYC is less than 60k last I looked. Seems kind of weird the lowest in that chart is over double that.
  12. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I think necromancy in Eora is closer to animancy than wizardry in that it seems to be more experimental and not as applicable to combat situations as spells. Aside from the already discussed wizard spells and chanter summons, I don't see the player character becoming a researcher that plays with dead bodies but whose to say? Maybe they'll go full hog and release a Dawnguard ripoff that lets you turn into a fampyr. I haven't played TOW yet, but it wouldn't be surprising to see them go the New Vegas route and have a couple of animal (or robot vessel) companions as options in addition to kith followers. If they do this, my guess is we see at least a dog, an imp, and something weird.

    Regardless of the national origin of your students, it would stretch belief to teach that. Even discounting some of the truly heinous **** that has happened in the 200+ years the US has existed, a day spent getting evicted after losing your job in the US is going to be a lot worse than a day spent having fun with your friends and family in some other country.
  14. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Yeah, there's probably dozens with the biggest (CPUSA, PSL, WWP, SWP) having memberships less than 10k. They tend to function like cults or pyramid schemes and most of their activity is based on trying to scalp new members to keep the cash flowing or running a candidate who gets next to no votes. They also despise (despise is perhaps not strong enough) each other for arcane reasons and most of them are run by the feds.
  15. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I was just thinking of reinstalling New Vegas. If the cool bald man likes it then it's probably good and I'll give it a go.
  16. PK htiw klaw eriF
    It's not a good idea to have plans that involve kidnapping, much less high profile elected officials, unless you want a visit from the feds. Really though, all of that doesn't address the systematic issues with the US political and social systems that result in choosing which mentally ill old white man with questionable ties to industry and robber barons who may have sexually assaulted someone you want in charge every four years. We've got to work outside of electoral politics and get back into strategies employed by labor and civil rights movements if we want to get the goods instead of hoping we can push the Democrats away from being irl versions of Bruce by coming from their left flank. A lot of media channels strive to appear unbiased to a comical degree, if you read MLKs Letter from Birmingham Jail the white moderates has been consistently accurate in describing such behavior. Moreover, the cancel culture panic is just media figures being mad the filthy peasants have the gall to mock them for being awful people. I can't recall any of them who have destroyed careers, most of them are actually getting a higher profile when they go on talk shows or get applauded by their peers.

    I guess I'll be the dude to side with GD. There's lots of stuff structurally wrong with the US and whether your opinions on what they are or how to go about addressing them replacing the orange man (who is undeniably a festering piece of **** that needs to **** off) is insufficient. Biden is a career politician with ties to various industries who presided over such structural issues since before I was born, furthermore the whole "settle for Biden" campaign signals that he isn't going to budge on his positions that maintain said structural issues. A vote for Biden is a vote to keep the same issues but have a management that is nice to you while doing nothing instead of one that screams incoherent gibberish and says that 150000 people dying is actually good or that BLM antifa omega stalinists are going to force you to gay marry a transgender mexican muslim after they take your guns. It's not enough to change your shirt, you've got to take off all your poop stained clothes and clean yourself up.

    That comparison seems harsh to disingenuous dog****ters tbh. I'd argue that mandatory minimum sentences is one of many problems with the carceral system and is something that should be done away with along with the whole tough on crime bull****. And the Settle for Biden is a hoot, it's pretty much saying Biden isn't going to satisfy the bernouts but they better vote for him anyways. That's enough politics for now, I've got a bottle of bourbon and it's stay the **** inside weather so I'm going to watch a movie.

    I think we'll see either a loose class system like Morrowind (with customizable classes) or a classless system. The latter is most likely, but there's a good deal of variety there so it could work in a variety of ways. I'd be surprised if we didn't see many weapon types and abilities from PoE/Deadfire pop up, but if it is classless it will be interesting to see how they fit in abilities that consume class specific resources (focus, phrases, and wounds).

    All of that applies to Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel though, which was released a few years before Fallout 3. As of now, Avowed and PoE aren't the same game series and there's nothing to say PoE3 will be a Skyrim clone, if it happens at all. If steam achievements are any indication, few players manage to get past the first third any game. This applies to DOS2, a sequel that sold extraordinarily well and better than DOS (let alone other Divinity games), where only about 60% of players proceeded past the first area. Things like mods and console commands that can disable achievements complicate this, but it's a pattern that consistently holds across most games.

    Huh, there really is always a tweet.
  22. PK htiw klaw eriF
    MATH is a TERRORIST plot by BLM/antifa, they murdered TEN THOUSAND with CALCULUS last week. LMAO
  23. PK htiw klaw eriF
    That depends on what you consider "PoE 3" to be. If you think any game set in Eora is a Pillars of Eternity game, then Avowed is PoE 3 in the same way Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel was Fallout 4. If you think PoE 3 would be a game that followed the specific story of the watcher and/or a RTwP/Turn-based D&D ripoff set in Eora during a time period that mirrors the early years of colonization, Avowed is not PoE3. Personally, I'm going to take Avowed as being Avowed and leave it at that. I'd like a PoE3 that is a RTwP/Turn-based D&D ripoff, but after Deadfire didn't perform as expected (which I blame on the lack of sea monster battles, seriously Obsidian you had one job), Josh Sawyer feeling bummed about it, and the general decline of RTwP Baldur's Gate ripoffs spiritual successors in favor of turn-based games or action rpgs that is an uncertainty.
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Yeah, but in Skyrim (and Bethesda Fallouts) third person is worse for a lot of stuff than first person. While I would honestly be surprised if third person wasn't an option in Avowed, the game is going to be designed around first person and we will be seeing the effects of that on the gameplay,

    Probably to control for big attacks, like how they left out 911 for jihadists. It holds that left-wing violence tends to focus more on property destruction and defacement (the justification for sending in the feds to portland is almost entirely graffiti) while right-wing violence tends towards targeted killings like shooting up places of worship and shopping centers frequented by Black and Brown people or Jews.
