I watched [Vinesauce] Vinny play this with a few other people, and I got the impression that for an off-brand Black Mesa, there weren't actually many threats to deal with. Maybe they've hammered that out since then; it was early access. But compared to—and yes, this is the game my brain ended up...

He did explicitly pledge to declare himself dictator on his first day on the job. Granted, I don't know how he expects to reconcile that with his desire to not have any responsibilities; maybe he'll establish a new legislature to replace Congress that consists only of the members of it that he...

OK, I am now retracting this statement. I do, however, trust the Democrats in Congress to start working on a plan to invoke the 25th amendment at their earliest convenience. And I trust the Republicans to vote alongside them, even though it'll mean getting President Kamala Harris, for two...

Doesn't it take a two-thirds majority to convict, or something? We'll never get that. No one will.

Better-er system would be to nationalize the whole system under the control of the Fed so we don't ever have to worry about scamming people for profits ever again, because there are no profits to be made, just a duty to one's country.

WHAT YEAR IS IT

That's one unfortunate thing about video games compared to movies. By the time you decide you're a superfan and want an expensive "collector's edition", you inevitably already own the game, possibly in a format that can't even be resold. Some publishers have dealt with this by offering one that...

Why would the media want to look into anything connected to Epstein? That just raises the chances they'll get outed next.

Yeah but again, IT IS LITERALLY TOO LATE FOR ANYONE ELSE TO RUN and have even like 10% the chance he does of winning. No one voted for anyone else in the primaries because no one else ran in them. No one is going to vote for someone the party just decided to declare the candidate by fiat.

You know, I've been thinking more about how weird the US system is, both intentionally and accidentally. Over in the Supreme Court thread I pointed out that it's not uncommon for one or both candidates for the highest office in the land to be people the general public had never heard of until...

At the other end of the spectrum, we have individual states (e.g. Ohio) whose constitutions are stupidly easy to amend, easier than even passing a law, so we end up with constitutions that are a zillion pages long and cover every conceivable topic.

And after having already lost a primary to some guy no one had ever heard of, too. You'd think she would have learned something from that. And speaking of "some guy no one had ever heard of", it really is amazing how rarely a presidential candidate is someone everyone is already familiar with...

In fact, Trump being an actual living cartoon villain might be the whole problem. People see this ranting lunatic on the news all the time, acting like something they've only ever seen in cartoons or particularly bad movies, and can't bring themselves to fully believe it's real because they've...

That's still way fewer people than the landslide Trump deserved to be buried in. A race between him and a garden weasel should have left him buried in a landslide.

In fact, you probably should barely be thinking about asset development at all, this early on. Unless it's your main area of expertise and you can just crank them out as quickly as any placeholder assets anyway, it's more important to get a working prototype together as quickly and simply as you...

I call shenanigans on that last one. Living on the same planet as Donald Trump constantly makes me feel like I'm living in a cartoon.

That may be true for the majority of them, but even Rare wasn't confident that it was the best way to play GoldenEye. That's why they concocted that absurd alternate scheme where you have to hold one controller in each hand. They knew dual analog was the future.

All this discourse over whether Biden is fit to run or not and whether it's hurting his chances to win in November is likely to be a self-fulfilling prophecy if anything. In fact, I'll even call it: if he does manage to lose, I will pin 100% of the blame on the people who are constantly on TV...

Sure, but they ultimately got to decide the terms of those contracts, and if "we get to modify the games' controls to better suit the needs of our players" wasn't one of them, that's nobody's fault but their own. I can't imagine that having been a dealbreaker for anyone.

Also, and I can't believe I'm the first one to bring this up, Hillary had way more actual political experience. She had sat on various committees, was a senator for eight years, and then Secretary of State. Being married to a former President seems to be Michelle's only real achievement so far.
