Twitter should just ban all politicians. Or anyone that talks about politics. This might be why I don't run a social media company.

Because it is catchier than Fallout with swords? Because it is more current than calling it an Ultima Underworld clone?

I finished Wasteland 3. It was a good game. For the most part, the choice and consequence aspect is on par with Obsidian, and I consider them the best in the business. The story was entertaining. I thought the side quests in particular were well done, and there was a good cast of characters to get to know. Combat was entertaining enough, and I loved the mix of weaponry, but I did feel there was way too much of it. I mean, there really seemed to be little value placed on human life in this universe. It was a solid follow up on Wasteland 2 and I enjoyed the continuation of the Desert Ranger storyline. I imagine the Great Plains will be the setting for Wasteland 4.

To be fair, this sounds like one horrible doctor at work here, rather than institutional policies. But then again, ICE has shown to be tremendously inept. Given the frequency and seriousness of all the human rights violations they are getting hit with, it is hard to see them as anything less than criminally negligent.

I had a parade of about 8 vehicles loop around my block for the last hour+ honking and waving Trump flags. Oddly enough we had a number of BLM and Anti-ICE protests in the summer that went by our house, and they were much quieter. There was some chanting, but no loud trucks laying on the horns. Ah well, to each their own. I'm not sure why anyone would spend so much energy celebrating a politician myself, I guarantee they aren't returning the favor.

You are talking about me, aren't you. I plan on going back to Phoenix Point one day! It contains the true spirit of Christmas, er, Xcom.

Heh, I have The Witcher 3 sitting in my queue for the exact same reason. Granted it also took me a couple years to finally commit to playing TW2. I also find The Witcher universe to be pretty depressing, and I need to be in a certain mood to get into it. I'm plodding through Wasteland 3, which is also a depressing world to live in. There is some fun absurd humor that makes it a bit easier to overlook the darker moments, but I hope I am nearing the end. It is pretty combat heavy, but that might be because everyone is terrible and I'm not a fan of just letting them off the hook for cannibalism and slavery.

My toe looks bad but feels fine, so I have been running regularly. In the mornings I try and get the kids out for a couple laps around the block. It is less than a mile amd takes about 6-7 minutes. Today was filled with me yelling and them crying.

You're right, I did. Sometimes, when faced with a bunch of people disagreeing with me, I adjust my own opinion and approach instead of just digging in. It's rare, I know.

That's terrible, but Antifa has been breaking windows and stuff, so you need to make sure to condemn them as well.

Yeah, I didn't. I just asked if those clamoring for MCA to get a job are also fans of Polanski's work. There seems to be this mentality that creative people that are responsible for works of art should be excused from bad conduct. Polanski is the most extreme of these examples. A bunch of you are all *gasp* he's a criminal! and yet he continues to direct and even win prestigious awards.

Yeah, at first I was like "Terror from the Deep!" but then I watched some videos and didn't see any cruise ships, so I was out.

@the_dog_days is more interesting than the current NFL season. 😀

I broke my middle toe. Ouch. Nothing exciting, just banged it into my bedframe. Now it is blue and swollen.

Change is bad!

I tend to agree. I don't think Pence did anything to really win the debate, but as Kamala Harris's first real turn on the national stage, I think she needed to do more. I was expecting her to either be aggressive, given her prosecutorial background, or to be the more charming candidate (which really shouldn't be hard against Pence.) But I don't think she pulled off either one of those. It seemed too safe.

Debate isn't over, but it is pretty clear that the fly on Pence's head is the winner.

Gromnir is the original an antagonistic companion.

Huh, seems strange that they are doing EA at all.

Ah, my bad. I thought you were going to the opposite extreme of GD's point. I don't agree with GD's point either.

Historically, religion has gone hand in hand with pretty much everything.

Everything is fine! https://gizmodo.com/so-who-else-thinks-the-white-house-is-totally-pulling-1845269694

Whoa whoa, Orogun is the one making a gun argument here, stating states with strict laws have worse gun violence. I tend to point at poverty figures over anything else.

Wow, you clearly didn't look at the links.
