The line about yearning for the mines also made me laugh, but I didn’t think there was anything else funny in the trailer. I don’t understand the level of vitriol I see either, it just looks like a bad movie ¯\(ツ)/¯

This is a new interpretation of the meme, you would know that if you read books

They tried with student loan debt and the courts blocked them at every turn. The courts are shaped to allow republican plans, because we have done these things in the past. Courts are more willing to reject things that haven’t happened before.

I did not know this existed, but I’m going to watch it now!

I am currently playing through it, and it has some of the best moments gaming has to offer. You don’t normally see such a specific voice in games narratives these days. I have been really enjoying it.

I’m currently in a swing state, and I really enjoy getting the postcards. It makes me feel a little less alone in the sea of red.

Skillup started the video saying that other people can have other opinions on the game. He didn’t like the combat, the art style, or the new tone. Those are all subjective things that other people could have enjoyed. Purely just in the video, he talked about how he didn’t like the necromancer character, but every clip he showed I liked. It’s just different tastes.

Yeah, because the market went from having the opinion of “I’m 80% sure that Tesla is going to do this robo taxi, automaton thing” to " I’m 65% sure that Tesla is going to do this robotaxi, automaton thing". Things are rarely all or nothing with the market.

He’s openly talked of rounding up illegal immigrants, and changing the laws about what makes immigrants legal. If he acts on even half the threats he has made, a lot of people are in danger.

I really love these games. I like the silly little puzzles with the good music and art. The lack of story never really bothered me because every single person you meet is so unique looking that it enables a lot of people-watching imagination on my part. I just think they’re neat :)

It’s an older comic,

Oh nice, thanks for the recommendations

That definitely makes sense. What’s a good SF book you’ve read recently?

I just had a friend tell me he loved the whole series (with caveats), why didn’t you like it?

It is a good sign, I was just saying that Georgia is definitely not for sure blue without interference from Republicans though (they do absolutely interfere though).

Nah dog. Georgia has some super red areas. The recent swing of the Atlanta suburbs to blue is a very recent phenomenon. Outside of Atlanta, it’s all trump country.

I’m playing Alan Wake II, and oh boy is it a great game. I’m not normally a horror fan, and have really only dabbled my way through a few residents evil, but I’m really enjoying myself in AW2. I love the off-kilter humor that remedy has, and their confidence to include it inbetween the horror, knowing it won’t undercut the scares. I’m also pretty intrigued by the mystery of it. My memories of AW1 are hazy, but there are a ton of nods to Control, which I also really liked.

That sounds very not simple, but I’m glad you were able to find relief! And it does sound like an interesting problem

Slang meaning cool, admirable
