I've not seen it as some widespread majority opinion, though. That's not really the reputation the game has. It's not Witcher 3 length, you know? Think of how long it takes to platinum the base game of that, never mind the expansions. 70ish hours to plat a game and its expansion, given that this is open world, is pretty dang reasonable. Not saying Witcher 3 is bad (I'm 75 hours into Persona 5 Royal for crying out loud and have a long while to go ), but I don't feel Horizon is significantly long considering its content.

Man one of y'all was like, "Savor the LGBT ruling because every other ruling is gonna suck." I hope you feel silly now since we have two rulings before the suck.

Don't know many who do. It's a perfect length considering you can plat it and the expansion in around 70 hours, which for an open world game, is pretty damn good. D-d-d-d-d-d-dozens?! Mmmmm, gimme.

I thought many states counted mail-in ballots early, so sometimes you'd see a bunch of them come in at once on election night. That's why Democrats would lead early in some races before the races tightened. I COULD be remembering this completely wrong, however, so don't hold me to it.

We can change it in 2021. Something like Hindsight is 2020.

I saw this and thought of @GeneticBlueprint

For the UK, though I'd love it if it came to the US.

I'm sure that's why, but I haven't seen someone vocally endorse someone and then endorse someone else before the primary is over. At least not often. When did he endorse her, anyway?

How about a story that doesn't piss people off? "I want to thank the two sweet black ladies who paid for my breakfast this morning. While waiting for a transport to be completed, I decided to have breakfast at a Cracker Barrel near the Nashville airport. I received this note from them."

One of my black friends pointed that out: "I say this with love. If there is racism in your heart, and you don't want the world to know you're racist. I promise you reposting content from Candace Owens, Brandon Tatum, etc. While praising them for their intelligence isn't the way to go. On behalf on all people who have even the smallest measure of discernment, I would like to say that its evident you gravitate toward them because they are black people who reinforce and validate a lot of racism and backwards thinking you hold on to. Just admit it. You'll feel better." Nobody really speaks to black friends... or maybe don't even have them. They just look for that one black person who says something they like.

Kratos' anger is made better by this game, especially since the last time we saw Kratos in GOW3, it was nothing but a quest for revenge. It's actually why the turn you see later with his son is made more interesting. It's a small bit, but I love it when Kratos asks his son, "Why did you speak that way to the dwarf?" "Don't you find him annoying?" "Yes. But it does us no good to alienate an ally." It was just a very cool sign of growth without betraying his past and making him seem like a different character. He's not this lovable guy to others yet, but he's learned to make allies. For Tsushima, I think he was talking more about how GoT looked like it could have open world bloat, though the jury's still out (utilizing wind, animals and nature to explore the world seems very, very promising). In GOW's case, it's more wide-linear. Once you get to an area, there's a more linear path to get places, with clear branching paths if you'd like to explore. In fact, the game does a terrific job allowing you to go out of your way to explore yet making it easy to get back to the main game. The way director Cory Barlog described it, he loves Shadow of the Colossus because even though anyone can access any part of the map, you have this feeling when you get some place that you're the first one who's been there. And you can see that influence in the game as you can take a look at the map, go, "Hey, there's a beach in that location. Is something there?" then row there and find a secret area. Each area is dense with things to find and break. Look up and there's something you can knock down that's valuable. Go on this branching path and you might find a fantastic runic attack. And once you do, there's an easy way to get right back to the main story. And then you have the dialogue. Mimir is such a wonderful character with some interesting things to say about the lore, but in a way that doesn't make it seem like he's reading from an encyclopedia about Norse mythology. His stories, Kratos' and Atreus' banter, they make simple things like canoeing engaging. Oh, and when you canoe, you can stumble upon cool stuff as well! I think the game wouldn't be as good if it was linear. It's great partly BECAUSE it went a more wide-linear approach. As far as bosses, I don't count the trolls as bosses in the same way, say, The Stranger is. They're more like mini-bosses -- stronger than a normal enemy, but not like the four main boss fights throughout the story. I'd say the last Valkyrie is a great boss, as well, that combines everything you learned from previous Valkyrie fights and feels like a Souls boss. Everything is choreographed, so there's no cheap death. Horizon Zero Dawn is a game that the more you play it, the better and better it gets. The weapons become more varied, you might ignore a weapon for a while and then use it and wonder why you never tried to utilize it before, the world opens up, and the enemy bots become more numerous. Right now, you're likely in the first area, which opened up but is still introducing you things like Cauldrons. The gameplay will continue to open, and it becomes an open world game with some of the best combat this gen. Also, the story and audio logs become fascinating as all fuck. There are two main points in this game -- why is Aloy motherless, and why is the world as it is considering the technology that you can access? The latter in particular was so interesting that I'd either stop everything I was doing to listen to an audio log or I'd make sure I didn't do something big as to not interrupt it.

Wait, I thought he.... what? How did he go from openly endorsing her to endorsing her opponent?!

You can tell The Lincoln Project consists of Republicans because the negative ads are brutal. "Too weak to be president" while he picks up a bottle with two hands.

Uematsu did a great job -- the Airbuster theme is such a wonderful remake of Still More Fighting. But I'm also impressed with the others. The original themes like Valkyrie: And Ghoul: Fantastic.

DNC's first ad, mixing his descent down the escalator with America's descent.

I remember when Colorado was a mega swing state. Now it seems more, "Man, the Democrat died out there," if he/she can't win it. That IS unexpected. I read that about her back in 2014. She was part of several red state Democrats - Michelle Nunn, Jason Carter - who were considered strong candidates due to being part of a political family but lost. I hope there's a behind the scenes on that.

I see a major glaring issue with those polls.

Around 5:30, some economically anxious woman starts to throw the term n***** around.

Just a reminder that the idea that "coastal elites" live in a bubble comes from people who police in bubbles.

That second screenshot.

After that bump in approval ratings in late March, his numbers have taken a consistent turn for nearly three months now.
