Please get me up to speed on the Byrd Rule because fuck. I'm seriously looking at Biden and his messaging with other Democrats -- we can't do too much, but we can do too little -- and I see someone who could have a very good two years no matter how annoying or crazy opposition may become. It's even more golden of a moment than when Democrats had even more control in 09/10 because Democrats, by all accounts, seem to understand the lessons of 2009 and 2010 very well -- negotiating a long time with bad-faith Republicans, the stalling of legislation, the hypocritical sudden caring of the debt.

The sites saying '7' are saying something is good, which means the average game is good. Which I don't feel is a controversial opinion considering how games have improved upon what they were like at the start of the 3D transition (similar to how SNES/Genesis is much more refined than Atari). A good example is a licensed game: licensed games used to be like Blues Brothers and The Matrix and Superman 64, and now they're like Shadow of War and Batman Arkham and Miles Morales. It used to be that all the money on the licensing meant no money was put into making a good game. Nowadays if you have a game based on a movie or TV show, that doesn't spell doom for the game as it used to because a good licensed game used to be a surprise. People used to wish for high-quality Batman games. Batman Arkham Asylum's quality was surprising at the time for plenty of people, including me. Even the OK games nowadays usually have some kind of hook, something going for them even if they're by-the-books, and they typically aren't game-crashing buggy. 5/6 typically means there are things going for the game but there's a lot going against it. That reminds me of Bioshock, actually. I remember a ton of audio logs, and usually you'd have to go to a menu to listen to them if I recall correctly. I actually dig audio logs depending on what they're like. Horizon Zero Dawn has some fascinating ones that I REALLY liked, all dealing with how the world became as it was. I played many of the games in the PS+ Collection, but there are a few that I've thought of trying but really don't know if I want to put in the time. Fallout 4's a great example, mostly because the branching dialogue system seemed really bad compared to 3. How you liking Days Gone? I'm clearing out a ton of hordes late game right now.

So yeah, I don't really get the idea that 6 is consider okay now when that's how it's been. People tend to do this which tells me nothing: Though I think this is a good update:

People really should utilize the entire scale or else don't use 1 - 10, you know? To get below 5, you have to be bad, and I don't think a lot of devs are making truly terrible games that are deserving of it, so I wouldn't go below 5/6 much either. It was that way when I was reading EGM in the early 2000s, it was that way with Gamespot, and it's been that way with IGN since the beginning AFAIK. Here's their 6 for Black Ops Cold War multiplayer which literally says 6 is OKAY.

tbh I don't know what that taunt means.

Inside Bidenworld’s plan to punish the GOP for opposing Covid relief - POLITICO WWW.POLITICO.COM A robust sales job will follow passage (should it happen) as the president and his allies want to avoid the missteps of the Obama years. Please don't screw this up. Forget means testing and push the bill through. And dare Manchin to vote against it because of the minimum wage increase. This is a much easier sell than the last stimulus bill, which was watered down with tax things from Republicans that didn't do much, while the bulk was "shovel-ready" projects to put people to work. Good idea but harder to sell since most people aren't seeing the benefits from it compared to checks, minimum wage, help for families, and hearing about vaccination expansion.

I had to dip out around the beginning of the fourth quarter, but I see nothing happened after that.

congrats man im happy for you and i think with time you'll see what a great decision it was to get enraged to something so important

That was a good fucking throw, too!

They've always been OK, old man. Most sites I see use the entire scale, so 1 - 10 means 5 is average.

Okay, I thought it was just my ears as to why it sounded strange. I don't know much about the singer, but I dug the visual of the dancers taking over the field.

Coworker showed it to me a few days ago; it made my day.

This Oatly CEO dude has a very long neck

I'll be damned. Nicely done, Chiefs.

Okay, that gm electric vehicle commercial was great.

M&Ms always deliver on these commercials.

I dunno, that Little Richard version at Wrestlemania X was fucking awesome.

I've long since thought it should be our National Anthem. Star-Spangled Banner is fine, but musically and lyrically, America the Beautiful is the superior song. That rendition was also great as I've not heard many guitar-focused ones.

I don't think it's unreasonable, in this kind of game, to want a win ending. I don't mind endings that don't feel like a 100% win, but they're usually not games like this. Your persuasion skills can win you

Reviews are okay in the 60s. I had no problem finding a game though.

As you shouldn’t! But anyone here fb friends with me knows she’s real. So maybe three people.

1 full year. It's been years since I've witnessed something that spectacularly sad. Maybe on the Vesti when a member's hot gf who also posted on the board was actually a fake account by the guy himself. I don't understand why people lie about themselves, but now I'm suspicious of anything anybody says about their life.
