What are you Playing Now? I name all the operations that go down in Taipei.
I also picked up Chaos Gate with the Epic games coupon. It's very grimdark. Does this massive ship have a lounge where space marines can get a drink? Combat is super fun, but I am a bit overloaded by all the abilities and equipment options. Still, it scratches that Xcom itch I get regularly.

The All Things Political Topic - A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/police-academies-paramilitary/612859/ I took part in a volunteer police training program and came away with a similar feeling. I was idealistic and pro-police entering the program, and by the end I was pretty cynical about the whole thing.

Police departments are paramilitary organizations that spend an exorbinant amount of time training in the escalation of violence, rather than focusing on de-escalation. The argument for defunding the police is to put more resources into social work and mental health care, which are severly lacking in most communities. Cameras are cool, but if you've trained officers to pull out a gun at every traffic stop, then video footage doesn't really help that. The entire training process needs to be overhauled. Thank you for attending my TED talk.

You can stop right there. 😉

Yes, the BLM protesters are the real problem. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61773358 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/drag-queen-story-hour-disrupted-men-shouting-slurs-authorities-say-rcna33184

More Hardwood + Round Holes = Lots of Scoring in Basketball 2K19
He's had some rough games against the Celtics. I'd say a lot of it is they are just a deep team. Draymond looked great against the one-man teams they played to get to the finals, but both Memphis and Boston are harder to control. Of course, the complaints about his offense are silly. He has never been a scorer. He is still getting assists.

High on Life, Pentiment, and Starfield look like pretty easy purchases for my money.

Whoo, what a game 4. This is shaping up to be a pretty good finals.

If South African schools aren't critically examining the cultural and societal frameworks of race and racial justice within their own country, I don't know why they even exist. If education is supposed to lead to the betterment of society, then race should be ground zero in a country recovering from apartheid.

Picture of Your Games the 15th
Elex 3 is probably going to feature the kid you have with Nasty. My guess is the kid will rebel against his mom and be super square.

Funny Stuff: Joke-Wing vs Meme Fighter
Hmm, strange criteria to judge a film on. Are there a lot of Titanic fanfics? I'm not going to bet against James Cameron at this point. The movies will probably be huge hits.

https://www.foxnews.com/sports/rays-nick-anderson-explains-differing-beliefs-teammates-pride-night-logo This is an entirely not surprising story, but one that still depresses me. You can dress it up as nicely as you want, but stances like these ignore the reality of the world. Gay people are discriminated against. Wearing the patch is a stance against discrimination. Refusing to wear the patch is such a strange stance to take for me. I mean, best case scenario is you are just indifferent about discrimination. Are they going to refuse to use pink bats as well?

I've started in on Black Geyser and it is pretty enjoyable. Seems like a solid BG type clone. I'm not too far into the story, but so far it is engaging.

I can agree on everything but the writing. Obsidian is way ahead of Owlcat in writing and character development, and that is kind of important in an RPG.

I guess the idea is he is a grumpy retired Jedi and we are supposed to watch him run around and say he is getting too old for this %&*#. Unfortunately Ewan McGregor doesn't look old enough to be Danny Glover.

I assume Malcador would be played by Moss from the IT crowd. I would probably get the 3rd Baldwin brother. Not quite the worst, but a few notches down the ladder. 😉

Best offense against the best defense? Seems like a good matchup to me. That video says the Warriors always have an easy path to the finals. That is ridiculous. Memphis was a very deep team that had their number since last season. Even before Ja went down, they had taken a 3-1 series lead. Maybe they are just a better team? They also beat the Rockets and Thunder when they were the big dogs, and that was all before KD. Haters gonna hate.
