It is a shame that Kamala Harris hasn't been able to capitalize on her postion. Pete Buttigieg, maybe? Both Trump and Biden are way too old, but I know that won't stop Trumpsters.

I'm not sure why the platform would matter. She is a behavioral scientist and she answered a question. edit: As Pidesco pointed out, it was part of a larger discussion where she cited her data. Of course, you don't have to trust that she is a credible scientist. Feel free to dig through the research yourself and pretend the internet makes you an expert in everything.

Outer Worlds definitely has the feel of New Vegas. It is a much smaller scale, but the writing and characters are all fantastic in the same way.

Greatest Beer Run Ever - This is a drama. Sure, the premise sounds silly (albeit very real), but I cried like a little baby. I haven't actually cried that much in awhile. In college, I took a lot of classes on the Vietnam War and read a lot of literature (ie The Quiet American, 4 Hours in My Lai, In Pharaoh's Army.) This movie felt like those books. It was deeply unsettling. I'm not sure why it isn't considered an important piece of filmmaking, but then again I'm not sure why Graham Greene's Quiet American isn't required reading. Anyways, go watch it with a beer in hand. It will give you something to cry into.

Pentiment is definitely proof of the AA model though. It is fantastic but the furthest thing from AAA gaming.

Geez. It makes me nervous when we post 40-something people in this thread.

At first I thought you watched a Neil Breen movie with your wife. That would show serious commitment on her part.

Hah, I'm sure a lot of people fell for that. My daughter has done a few of the Stan Winston courses on SFX makeup.

I think diesel is still a type of gas. I go rounds about trying to get my hydrogen fuel terminology correct. I mean, I guess it is more of a gas than petrol or deisel, since they are liquids. Now I just try to say fuel.

Yeah, the originals were more gear-centic than ability-centric, so I can understand that. Thankfully I also have Xenonauts for the more traditional experience.

I bought Pentiment, but I also bought the expansion for LotRO. I plan on making a brawler for the new starter area, but can't decide on race.

Not being a superhero game is good enough for me. I enjoyed Chimera Squad. I'm not sure what you mean about the DLC though, as those all added quite a bit to the strategic layer of the game.

Leo/Scorsese rankings for me: 1. Wolf of Wall Street 2. The Departed 3. Gangs of NY 4. Aviator 5. Shutter Island Gangs of NY has actually grown on me. I watched it in theaters and thought it was too much, but subsequent viewings helped me appreciate it more. I should probably re-watch Shutter Island.

I don't know how many hoods they will have. The Hood is a pretty obscure character. Plus hoods are more of a DC gimmick.

Huh. I haven't even seen #1. I have trouble with any list that doesn't put Goodfellas at the top. I suppose I am partial to the gangster flicks though.

I was turned off by that, but once they explained that it basically replaces the hit percentage system, it made more sense to me. I'm not a big card battler guy, but that seemed like a reasonable use of cards.

Yeesh. The combat looks good, but no part of me really needs more super hero conversations. Wake me up for Xcom 3, please.

Is Desantis really different than Trump?

That seems super sacrilegious.

Don't be sad about that!

I've started playing Fallout New Vegas because I got it for free on GoG and it just seemed like a good idea. It was. I still plan on starting a new character in LotRO when they release the new starter areas. My Captain is level 111 and battling despair in Mordor. edit: I wish I had the willpower to make different decisions in New Vegas. Like, I always side with Good Springs and go to war with the Powder Gangers. I always attack Caesar's Legion almost immediately. I'm no good at the moral gray area stuff.

You guys are weirding me out.
