Last night I played hockey and felt good, but today I've got a terrible sore throat and feel exhausted. I'm hoping it passes quick, I go to Vegas next Sunday.

Are you going to release Tyranny on GOG?
If they announce it now, they are going to upset people that do not want to buy it on Steam. If they announce it closer to release, they are going to upset the same group of people. What if the situation changes? What do they actually gain by announcing distribution this early?

First I'm not talking about adult mods necessarily as not everything sexualized is considered adult content. And second you're wrong, true adult mods are very easy to find. They are all over Nexus which is where all of the normal mods are. Unless Bethesda is creating those mods, your point still makes little sense. Pressuring a community of fans and hobbyists is a waste of time.

Political Philosophy in Comics
That seems pretty clear by the way I worded my post. I guess I should have been more obvious with my disclaimer that I am not a big comic book guy.

Lobo sounds familiar but Ambush Bug sounds like something you made up. Maybe it is just the readers of Marvel comics embrace the weirder characters more than DC readers? I'm not a huge comic book guy, but I can name a pretty long list of strange Marvel guys, but I come up pretty empty on DC.

What are you playing right now?
I have multiple people trying to convince me to play Black Desert Online. I have a guest pass going right now. I am trying, but I don't really get it.

Political Philosophy in Comics
Marvel always struck me as a good deal more liberal with their storylines and characters. Not necessarily politically so, but just quicker to take risks, try weird things, etc. DC is usually pretty conservative. Could Deadpool exist in the DC universe?

Heh, trying to teach our own kids is way tougher than being in the classroom. I don't understand how homeschoolers do it.

Hoonding has had some pretty good one-liners, but he's pretty one-dimensional. I like some depth of character in my forumites. Also, the Overwatch butt looks terrible. I mean, it really isn't even a butt, it is legs with a crack in between. I assume they are changing the pose because it looks stupid.

Sorry to hear that Gfted. My wife got a new job. Bit scary to change school districts, but this will place her much closer to home (the school is in our backyard) and eliminate a good chunk of the commute. On the less exciting news I'm trying to figure out how to pay the state $2300 in taxes. I think I'm going to apply for a payment plan, rather than be super broke for the rest of the month. At least I already paid federal.

US Elections 2016
Kasich does have some democratic leanings, and that's why I see him as a decent threat to Clinton in a general election. Now him getting through the brokered convention is a total crapshoot, so I agree it is probably not in the dice. And if he does, Trump will probably run independent (I assume he can still do that and get on the ballot?) That will pull votes away from any Republican candidate, as you've said. But if there was a scenario where it was just Kasich versus Clinton, I'd put my money on Kasich. The Republicans are going to vote for him, regardless of their feelings, just like they did for Romney. And I think there is enough flaws with Clinton to pull votes away from her. She lacks the charisma of her husband and Obama. All I really know is the Republican Convention is going to be a barnburner.
