    I am in desperate need of a new game to play while listening to podcasts. Specifically, I am looking for a game that I can play for long 2-3 hour sessions, something that does not rely heavily on audio cues,  and a game that does not require my full undivided attention. Games like WoW and Rogue Legacy have been great podcast games for me, but now I mostly play fortnite, rainbow 6, and dota, all of which are terrible podcast games.

     

     

    I listened to all 400 hours of Dan Carlin's account of World War 1 largely while maxing damn near everything out on Rogue Legacy :D

     

    I mostly play Minecraft nowadays listening to podcasts. But a good amount of arcade games are great for it. Lots of "in the zone" gameplay with a minimum of storyline to worry about.

    it’s becoming very easy to root against Kawhi

     

     

    I mean, he doesn't present himself as a big egomaniac and in general I think it's best to give a player the ultimate discretion on an injury. But when you're deal with an organization like the Spurs that has rarely had drama with it's players it's kind of a matter of "If everyone you meet is assholes.....".

     

    Plus, probably the most telling thing to me is that it wasn't just management. Guys like Ginobili and Parker were the ones being the most vocal. These guys are vets who've been in the league a long time. If they felt like Kawhi was quitting on them they probably had a good reason for it.

    I hope that all those investigations of Pruitt keep going. Make him pay the price for all his abuses of power.

     

    It is bizarre to me how long he was allowed to stay in. It can't be that hard to find someone that will just do whatever Trump tells him and otherwise just does the worst thing for the environment all the time. Was Pruitt somehow notable for his shamelessness in perusing that agenda?

     

    I don't know how true it is, but I've heard the reason Trump put up with Pruitt wasn't just that he could use the EPA to do damage, as many conservative shitstains could. It was specifically the personal ties Pruitt has in the energy sector that kept him safe until now.

     

    Basically, when Trump got on the phone with his billionaire buddies they were lobbying for Pruitt.

  4. When I saw this thread bumped I literally came in here to yell at you guys for repeatedly bumping this thread because every time I saw it back at the top of the page I got my hopes up that he was finally gone.

     

    It's so nice when Trump chooses the worst of both worlds for himself. He could have kept Pruitt. Or he could have fired Pruitt right away. Instead, he dragged around his politically toxic corpse for monthes...and then fired him.

  5. This may be no great revelation, but I think we're seeing the flawed calculations of Trump and other world leaders explode here.

     

    For a long time we got the embarrassing spectacle of people like Truduea, Macron, and Merkle buddying up to Trump. Trying to take advantage of that narrative that Trump is a child that can be swayed by telling him how great he is.

     

    Which I think is true, up to a point. But they found out it's not enough to stop Trump from what he really wants to do.

     

    So the other leaders sucked up to him to prevent this exact thing. Trump saw it as a weakness, and he did what Trump always does. Keep pushing further until someone makes him stop. He expected the others to back down because they already showed weakness, but Trump has shown a staggering amount of failure to understand that when you exhaust all your leverage, the other guy is going to hit back when they have nothing left to lose.

     

    If Trump were in a human shield stand off, he would shoot the hostage immediately and then be surprised that the police rushed in and arrested him instead of being quelled by his show of strength.

    It is annoying in that these are the same outlets so obsessed with impartiality that they could catch Trump saying he had a 20 inch penis and they would go out of their way to say, "President Trump appears to have perhaps mistakenly given the incorrect impression of uttering a not entirely accurate statement."

  7. Lakers reportedly had a shot at signing Cousins for about the same as the Warriors got him. They passed on him because they were worried about his injury making him not much use the first half of the season.

     

    I think worries about what Cousins might be long term are valid, but so far it seems pretty far fetched for the Lakers to be worrying about the first half of year one of this rebuild.

  8. I think the labels are a good solution for the problem of dead boards that we used to have. And it'll be very useful once the boards start really filling up again.

     

    In a couple of the posted pics I can kind of see why the secondary tags seem like a bit much, but on the mobile browser that I am using they look fine imho.
