TEGNA furloughs local TV news staffs, managers take temporary pay cut This is going to be hard on my industry. Advertising-driven media = plummeting profits right now.

It's not quite Resident Evil 2 Remake, but it's not as short as reviews claim, and it's a lot of fun. It's more action-oriented, and there's less, "You're in this place for a while and doors will be crying out to be opened for half the game." Locked doors don't stay locked for long in this. Still, I'm happy to say that the engine and gameplay work well in a more action-oriented world, and I think playing it on Hardcore (scarcer resources) will give me a better sense of item management than normal. There is some item management, and there are some puzzles and safes to crack, and I'd say the city area is the biggest time to do it, but other areas in the game will give you the same, "These doors are locked. You'll have to go explore the unlocked one here to eventually unlock this," that you get in parts of Raccoon City. But when you control Carlos, know that conserving ammo isn't as necessary. You have assault weapons and you're not afraid to use them. Nemesis isn't Mr. X Part 2. Heck, on the lead-up to the game, I thought Nemesis would be scarier because all I heard was, "He doesn't just walk at you like Mr. X. He runs at you and uses a rocket launcher!" But Mr. X is scarier because he chases you around the entire building, forcing you to walk slower and more methodically so you don't attract attention. Due to the nature of this game -- you're not staying in one place for as long as the mansion in RE1, the house in RE7, and the police department in RE2 -- that's not what happens here. They could have tried to make it like Mr. X, but the levels aren't built for it. Nemesis looks like Mr. X as far as build at the beginning, but that's where it ends, imo. My game says total play time 8:18:15, Clear Time 6:46:33. I don't know what that means. Did I leave it paused for a long time? I dunno! So marked spoilers:

Overcooked - I talked about it in my Overcooked thread, but it's a 100% recommend if you have friends or a girlfriend/wife/boyfriend/husband to play with. Resident Evil 3 Remake -- Definitely recommend. It's not quite Resident Evil 2 Remake, but it's not as short as reviews claim, and it's a lot of fun. It's more action-oriented, and there's less, "You're in this place for a while and doors will be crying out to be opened for half the game." Locked doors don't stay locked for long in this.

Also, liberals could cut into the Wisconsin Supreme Court's majority in a significantly more important race:

Reminder that Wisconsin is holding their primary tomorrow. This potentially could be another blowout, but we won't know because people can vote after Election Day. Also, the circumstances between the Democratic governor and the Republican legislature, and the enormous amount of absentee ballots requested, are what have been making news.

Where does this WM fall for those of you who watched? I imagine it likely wasn't one of the better ones. I can't imagine Rock/Austin WM17, Rock/Hogan WM18, or Rock/Cena WM28 (Jesus, the Rock each time?) without the hot crowd.

Apparently, the family is censoring her cause of death. Before: No longer there. If you want compassion toward other humans, remember that this censorship kills, and her post kills. She didn't have a different opinion; she was wrong and could have hurt other people with her "wake up" idiocy. She likely did hurt others by exposing herself to them or by influencing them. Let's have compassion by going after the misinformation if you want fewer people to die; posts and wrong-headed views like this are significantly less compassionate than thinking she was a health risk to others. Right-wing news dying would save many lives as well.

I'm around 3 to 4 hours in and I feel like I'm coming to an end soon? I could be wrong. I feel like I am because the reviews said it was five hours, and I haven't been rushing. At the same time, I played the demo, so I didn't really have much trouble getting around the city. Also, locked doors don't stay locked for long. I did like in RE2make that a door would sit there, taunting you for hours until you found a way to open it. I haven't encountered that here. That said, this IS a lot of fun, and there's a time when you switch characters: After this I have to get back to Yakuza Kiwami 2, but I'm really tempted after all this RE to try RE7 in VR.

It's always aggravating to hear subhuman slime say something like, "What good does it do blaming people?" They literally raked Hillary over saying, "What difference does it make now?" over four people dying due to terrorists, but tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people who didn't need to die but will due to the enormous incompetence of this administration is not worth criticizing? We always having to come together when a Republican is president...

So the tweet Soledad O'Brien quoted from the Surgeon General is getting some traction.

I really hope so. Apparently, NY just reported their first decrease in either deaths or cases (or both?). My g/f told me about it 5 minutes ago.

At the risk of enraging @Chairslinger with this tweet:

Two shitty families, at least he's consistent

I think it might be top 5 for Carlin. His last one was everything that made him great and a fantastic sendoff. Complaints and Grievances is a laugh riot and his last "high energy" one. Back in NY was Carlin on fire. It'd be number 4 for me.
