THEN SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

All right, hopefully this week I have a nice comprehensive OP ready.

RBG, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Roberts and Gorsuch voted in favor of LGBT. All dissenters were conservatives.

I've considered buying it several times. Would you say it's a good couples game?

How is it?

Yeah but the governor's mansion is a different beast. It hasn't helped in Maryland statewide. It's telling that Republicans could win with a walking dildo in Virginia in 2000 but now have to run a moderate Democrat to sweep.

I don't even think they'd dominate if they did that. Maybe they'd do better? But Virginia has been trending for Democrats since 2006. Hey, I never said y'all said that! Unless you're just talking to Chair, but I was just saying I appreciated some of the points he was making. I almost think there should be a separate congressional/governors thread. I could try to make a good OP for it if y'all want; I think it would help.

It's definitely not as busy as 10 years ago, but I wouldn't say it's gone "downhill." I quite enjoy posting with the group, and it's pretty chillax. I post on Reset as well and enjoy the activity, but I feel like there are a ton of teens on there sometimes with the weird ass shit they complain about. And I also enjoy maddux's giveaways. This is all silly, so ima hug you fuckers

The internet is quick again.

You gon' write in Ron Paul and like it I think those responding to you saying there's a huge overreaction to 2016 have a good point. There really has been a misunderstanding about 2016. I think you've got the right idea, though. I think a lot of you have the right idea in different ways. This is how I see 2016: 1. There's totally an incumbent advantage even with bad approval ratings. There wasn't a united Republican front to spread Trump's message in 2016; people were jumping ship a month prior to the election. The fundraising is united behind him, the party is united behind him, and he's a known quantity. That can work against him, but conservatives who held their nose in 2016 can now point to judges and a big and terrible corporate tax cut bill as reasons to vote for him. 2. No matter how nuts the cult is, no party has a majority in the electorate. Independents aren't really jumping on the Trump train right now with 110k dead, stimulus checks not coming to people, and a broken Republican unemployment website in Florida. He vowed that the chaos would end with him and it's more chaotic than any point in the past decade, far as I can see. 3. Trump hasn't gone scorched earth yet as he did Hillary. After the first debate, the mothafucka straight up said she should be in jail: Last year when they were going after Hunter Biden, Trump said Biden was "stone cold crooked." So when we see how that does and what crazy rumors he spreads about his opposition that may suddenly seem true and make the media obsesses over it like Hillary's pneumonia, it'll be easier to understand. 4. Biden is doing better in the polls than Hillary, and it's important what the reasons are. She was leading Trump a lot, but many of those leads had her at 44% or 45%, which means independents going to Trump (which is exactly what happened) could push him past the finish line. It's a different dynamic. I'm still convinced that Trump is a strong opponent despite being a mentally deteriorating buffoon.

Here's an interesting observation about Virginia: You know what looks like it did it? Riggleman officiated a gay wedding.

lol

I don't know whether it's legit or not. But I don't mind him getting pissed about this kind of talk because he spread rumors about Hillary's health -- stroke, dementia, whatever the hell -- which unfortunately took hold during her pneumonia spell. And he's been doing the same to Biden. So... karma's a bitch. I hope the same thing happens to him where everyone is wondering what illness he has.

These fuckers make me wish I was clever like them.

I think it's also this gen. The PS4 was just better top to bottom and significantly easier to develop a game. Compare UC2/UC3 to UC4/Lost Legacy in terms of performance, and UC4/LL were much better performers. UC4 had barely any drops in performance, while Lost Legacy had a few more (the rainy tall grass area and the ambitious final chapter), but the performance was better throughout the game. And it still impresses me that Guerrilla pulled off a game like Horizon Zero Dawn with consistent 30fps performance. Performance issues were just way more frequent last generation.

A bit into the video, the base PS4 version runs fantastically. From Sony's first party, it's unsurprising. Also, they have a nice comparison between this and the first game. Both game out the last main year of the console's life before the successor came out, both are TLOU games, but TLOU2 performs like butter, whereas the first TLOU wasn't smooth on the PS3.

Is there anything resembling a spoiler in the Digital Foundry video because I'd love to watch a tech vid. If not, I'll just wait till later since I enjoy their videos anyway.

Sean Waltman was extremely talented in this way: I rewatched WWE from WM14 to WM17 on the WWE Network just a few years ago. When X-Pac was a face in 98 and most of 99, holy fuck, was he over. When he was a heel, fucking A, he was the most hated.

I didn't even know there was an Inception rerelease planned.

I like making jokes about Ringo -- one of my favorite lines was Colbert in 08 when he interviewed Paul McCartney, and the intro said, "The Beatles members were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and the luckiest man in the history of the world," -- but he's a great drummer. What made him so good was his creative ability, listening to a song like Strawberry Fields Forever or A Day in the Life and knowing how to make the drum section work. If you just play the drum track to something like Come Together, there's no mistaking it for any other song.

I think you hit the nail on the head. I don't feel like a ton of big companies really kill the competition? I mean, WWE did. Fucking A....

??? He said he knows little about those games and hasn't played them. A description seems like a good idea?

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-latest-swing-state-polls-look-good-for-biden/ Some stuff I quite like seeing. It's mostly good news for Biden, but there are some trade offs (ex: I like seeing Ohio and Iowa much closer in the polls, and Pennsylvania is still quite close, and not all polls in Michigan/Wisconsin are +6/+7). Colorado and Virginia have historically been swing states and were not runaway winners for Hillary, but Biden is averaging over 50% easily in both.

inFAMOUS: First Light took the Fetch character from Second Son and gave her her own game. It took place in half of Second Son's open world (so a new world wasn't built for the game) and had its own story for Fetch and different side missions, plus an arena mode. It was shorter than Second Son and served as a prequel to it. You could buy it and not even own Second Son, but it wasn't a continuation of the story. Uncharted 4 is around a 20 hour single-player experience plus its multiplayer mode. Lost Legacy was made VERY quickly -- one year -- and used the same engine and graphics as 4. Instead of a new journey for Nate, it was a story involving Chloe, a popular and long-standing side character, plus Nadine, who was a new character in 4. It was more the length of a PS3 Uncharted. The multiplayer mode was the same as 4's, so you could play with Uncharted 4 players. While it's its own game and can be played without having touched 4, it serves more as a side story with a different character. It's a full-length game, though. It's different from something like Horizon: Frozen Wilds because that expansion gets implemented into Horizon Zero Dawn's world. Dying Light had an expansion that was the same thing. The expansion was called The Following, and you could play it by itself, but it looked the same as Dying Light and was shorter in length.

It was johnny and Brick. How I mistook them for you two, I don't know. Your names aren't anywhere close.
