I totally agree it was a mob with no clear organization. I say the same thing when people try to blame antifa for everything. There is not clear leadership structure and no concrete agenda other than breaking stuff and looking tough. I still think you can hold Trump responsible for creating the mess. Since the election, he has eroded the democratic process with fake hyperbole and called for action from his base. The President should be held to the highest standard.

Minimum wage is garbage right now. When was the last time it went up? I'm pretty sure the economy has changed since then. And don't start mewling about small business owners. Big business has been killing small businesses all pandemic long, so maybe figure out a way to balance that AND improve the plight of the minimum wage worker.

Hospitals in Santa Clara County are currently at zero capacity.

Wait, so Skarpie's entire family went and get tested before holidaying together? That's actually pretty awesome, you guys are very responsible. I prefered to just avoid my family. But that isn't just about the virus.

Cyberpunk's performance on last gen consoles in a pretty serious gaff for them.

Antifa, obviously.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever seen you write, numbers man. I mean, you typically come across as a smart guy with a bit of snark, and I mean that in the nicest of ways. But claiming something isn't personal while in the same breath calling someone ignorant is pretty daft. If you are going to talk down to someone, at least own it.

@Malcador Dave Mustaine? I just read an interview with him based in your comment. Sounds like he is just a regular grumpy guy that hates all politicians, so I don't think he would be marching for Trump.

Hmm, that does sound promising. Hopefully there is like 95% less killing than the Wolfenstein games. I love the setting and the areas in those games, but I get quickly tired of the constant killing.

I'm pretty sure most of the stop the steal crowd are focused less on the legal options of how to overturn the results, and more on the fact they voted for Trump, so he must have won. This is reinforced by Trump himself.

Empyrion is amazing and janky at the same time. Still better than No Man's Sky. Edit: The game actually has a pretty solid storyline to follow, which so many of these open world survival crafting games seem to lack.

That is way too young.

Goonies in Hawaii? I'm game.

I am really looking forward to going back to the times where these were the controversial stories of the day: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/kamala-harris-vogue-cover-182547945.html Remember when this was the biggest outrage coming out of the White House? Or when George HW Bush threw up on the Japanese Prime Minister? Or Dan Quayle misspelled potato? These are the low stakes hijinks I think we have to look forward to over the next 4 years. Ooooooh, Biden looked like he was smelling some kid's hair! How weird.

This is totally going to work:

Hah, most people here have been voicing concerns about this crap for years. Welcome to the party. Did you complain about the attempts to ban TikTok last year? It would be pretty humorous if Trump takes his act there after spending last year threatening to ban it in the US. I'm pretty much anti-censorship full time. Government led or corporate led. Of course I also believe there is the proper platform for different types of speech. If people want to turn Parler into a conservative echo chamber, then no skin off my nose. Within certain legal bounds, of course. If you use it to organize acts of violence, that is a different story. Hence the current debate.

Trump didn't just make the Obama presidency look amazing in contrast, he rehabilitated the image of every President before him. Nixon's preserved head probably has a big smile on it, as he is now off the hook.

I am not really sold on anyone creating a better Shadowrun game than the guy who designed the pen and paper version. Obsidian is great, but can they nail the tone of the books and harebrained games?

This meme had me go watch the video again. It is still amazing. 10 million people thumbs upped it. Also, 743k people downthumbed it, and I'm pretty sure a few of those were at the Capitol Building Wednesday. There are some dumb people out there.

You are missing out. It is an amazing game. Get over yourself and play it.

I would guess we will get a Wasteland style game in a steampunk setting. I don't know, I've enjoyed a few of these reboots, unlike Azdeus. Wasteland 2 and 3 were good uses of the Wasteland IP. The Shadowrun games were great. Xcom has been excellent, I enjoyed the new Star Control. I'm happy to have some of these old properties brought back to life. Could InXile pull off the Arcanum setting? I'm not sure.

I don't get it.

You've still got one more year until it all goes downhill. My wife clearly has a sinus infection, but is freaking out about Covid and is narrating her last will and testament. I'm like, I know you are miserable about the sinus pain and pressure, but you have no other covid symptoms, you haven't been exposed to anyone, and you ran 6 miles and swam laps in the pool two days ago with no problems. You aren't dying. Take your antibiotics, get some sleep, and you will be fine in a couple days.
