  1. I liked it for a while, but unless I'm being intimate, I don't want my private areas touching my sheets. Ended up going back to boxers.
  2. I liked that Facebook photo part. Mostly because it was posted, and it was on my Facebook a few days, and then my brother commented, "Okay, I'll bite. wtf is this?"
  3. I just looked at the update: Tuberville ended up winning! :-O But maybe the college center voted for Sessions and surrounding precincts didn't.
  4. Apologies if this was posted a few days back. I think it may have been mentioned in that Trump Rapid Response tweet of Sanders saying Biden's platform would be the most progressive since FDR. Joe Biden And Bernie Sanders Unite For Student Loan Forgiveness, Free College There's more in the link. When Sanders would tell Biden, "You say you have more experience, but I say this as a friend: you voted for this, that. etc." I thought he was just saying the friend part to be polite, but they seem to actually like each other. Then again, Biden did make a lot of friends in Congress.
  5. Under-the-radar for most people except for those in this district: Candace Valenzuela wins Texas runoff, stands to be first Afro-Latina in Congress
  6. Some of the results from yesterday. First the big one, Sessions loses primary race for his old seat. Former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville will face Democratic Senator Doug Jones of Alabama. Former Air Force pilot MJ Hegar defeats Royce West, 52.1% to 47.9%. She'll face Republican John Cornyn for the Senate seat in Texas. While Hegar won most counties in the state, I wouldn't say that it was a rural vs urban split. Hegar did well in rural areas for the western 2/3 of the state but also won in Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso, while West did well in rural areas to the east and also won in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston. Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon easily won her primary with 70% of the vote. She'll face Republican Susan Collins and try to unseat the Senator in Maine. She gets a TON of backing in the form of $4 million: They are tying Collins heavily to Kavanaugh, especially after the vote he made.
  7. You know, I can't believe I forgot to mention this: I enjoyed that the Left Behind DLC explored luring infected to human enemies. I loved that TLOU2 gave you plenty of options to do that.
  8. https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/14/21323326/google-stadia-exclusive-game-deals-harmonix-rock-band-supermassive-until-dawn
  9. Between those two, Persona 5 Royal, this game, Dreams, and fuck, I hear Nioh 2 and Iron Man are good, this has been a fucking crazy sendoff.
  10. From GameSpot and Washington Post respectively. A laud I was not expecting: From IGN's Beyond!
  11. I feel as if I may have seen this here in Florida, but maybe one of the clips he used with a voter was used for another ad, too.
  12. Don't see GI or IGN yet, but IGN gave it a 9 and Game Informer gave it a 9.5. I haven't been able to read much, but considering the praise from GI and IGN and the, "Good but has issues," from Gamespot, I'm looking forward to diving into them and seeing what their criticisms and praise were.
  13. Yeah, but what was frustrating was that there were some people who spammed threads with gifs to slow down people's internet or genuinely were really bitter trolls and the mods were so slow to react. There wasn't a report function that I remember for the longest time (if ever when I posted there), so you had to go to a moderation thread to report something.
  14. I think you're right. You just didn't know unless you did that, and it was hard as hell to report anyone harassing people. With how boards are now, it's surprising that I posted on so many boards in the 2000s where you had to censor curse words or else you'd be banned. Anyone remember when one of the (Sparky?) posted a thread on the Vesti titled "Fuck!" with no content in the OP? Then someone made a ytmnd with the Price Is Right losing horn.
  15. Also, if the side quests are as good as we're hearing, that would be a stark turnaround from Second Son's drone/camera/spray paint side missions with only one (Cole's Legacy) that had a story. I dug the district-by-district concept to weaken DUP control, but it needed more meat elsewhere. Though that Paper Trail one was pretty cool; I just wish it were strictly inside the game.
  16. Some of the best-reviewed PS4 games this year: Past Sucker Punch games: It's pretty tough for even a great new IP to crack 90 nowadays, I feel. I've kept from looking at much, so I've no idea where it'll fall, but regardless of score, I hope the stuff I'm looking forward to the most (the exploration and using the wind/animals to find secrets) is engrossing.
  17. It's easy to say, "Why do the Fireflies pay more attention to the bottle?" Because making games is hard. AI is the most difficult thing you could do in a game with the sheer number of things multiple AI characters are reacting to. It was only this century IIRC that a computer beat a world champion chess player, and that's a 64x64 grid with huge limits on what each piece can do. When you have multiple AI characters reacting in real-time in a stealth/action hybrid where you can run in any direction and use different weapons that'll do different things and affect either one enemy or a group of enemies, you've given the AI an infinite amount of things to do and react to that are significantly more complicated than a 64x64 board. The fact that you can run out of ammo in that game, try to take a shot, and the AI will acknowledge you've run out of bullets and come at you, was pretty damned great. The fact that your AI companion would attack them but say something to the affect like, "Hey asshole!" to acknowledge that she's doing it as a surprise attack, was a big deal. While I get your criticisms, I really don't get why you always ask for nearly impossible tasks in the AI department all the time, especially when the AI is much better than 10 to 20 years before the first game released. You have to accept that AI isn't there yet. You think the people who program it don't know about this and wish the AI could be far more complex? It's not a reasonable criticism. 50 years from now, let's see where game AI is and maybe we can complain about it. All that aside, bottle distractions can apply to many situations in the game; the final battle is still fantastic.
  18. He's mowed plenty of people down and survived a long enough time that it's not goofy whatsoever; it's expected. They didn't even think these two were still alive, and they surely couldn't have expected Joel to do what he did to that extent. We've seen the incompetence of powerful organizations in reality, but when it comes to games and movies, why is the expectation that the enemies must foresee everything the protagonist is going to do? It's not like they didn't have guards; the room before the ward was brimming with soldiers. I'd have thought they were safe in there, too. From a gameplay perspective, it was excellent and one of the best fights in the game, easily. Exactly what I thought about it. You have this whole sandbox to utilize, and the best way to defeat it is to have some proficiency with all your weapons and not be afraid to explore the place, however eerie it is. It's tense when you don't have listen mode, either.
