It warms my heart that Georgia is doing worse against LSU on neutral territory (yet still in Georgia) than Florida did at LSU when they kept in neck-and-neck until the 4th quarter. Still tons of time left, though, so UGA could strike back in the second half. Lane Kiffin is going to Ole Miss. Wonder how long he'll stay.

You got this. It's a fucking blast. Once you get in the groove after the learning curve of one cell, it doesn't seem like this impossible thing. I had the seem feelings are you -- "Whoa, this is way harder," "Whoa, is this even impossible even a cell higher?" -- but if you're getting to the final boss now, then you're progressing just fine, probably even a little quicker than I did. Plus, it's just fucking fun, so as much as I wanted to completely beat the game, I was enjoying every minute getting to the end. Enjoy!

Go through the no cell again to get some better shit and then go back to 1 cell.

It's worth it to get the true ending just because there's a lot of game and a lot of gameplay if you're trying to get to the hardest difficulty (which each difficulty changes the game).

Poor Utah.

Republicans have half of the nation's governors' mansions and the Senate and the Supreme Court. There's backlash to Trump, not populism. The backlash was to your status quo. It's also why milquetoast candidates like Biden aren't handily beating Sanders or Warren and why Yang has made every debate despite being a no-name; the status quo sucks, and everyone knows it.

Until the "normal" capitalists understand why people are pissed, populism isn't going away. Years of being told how things just are and why something greedy is OK and why wealth hoarding is freedom has driven me away from the American center-left lane and right into eat the rich.

Shooter is dead.

Welllll.... release dates for FF7R and The Last of Us Part II were revealed on SoP events, and SIE's Iron Man VR was revealed on it as well. But for the PS5, correct, they have said no next-gen news.

Warren goes after Buttigieg and Bloomberg

See, now this is sounding like MGSV.

You don't actually think it's releasing past 2020, do you?

The release date was already announced in the last State of Play a few months ago.

And a Dreams release date, looks like. Sweet!

Yo, the new trilogy isn't really about the Emperor. Regardless as to whether seeing Palpatine is a real treat or if it falls flat, that's on JJ. I've loved the story of the sequels so far. Hell, the minute I read the first sentence of TFA's opening crawl, I knew I was in for a treat. Even the mothafukin' crawls got me excited, especially with no passive, "The taxation of trade routes is in dispute," sentences.

AEW edges out NXT this week.

When I saw a rest center that had one a hologram of one of those Horizon Zero Dawn walkers by it, I lost my shit.

$10.0000000?

Ah, okay, I misread what you meant by, "ability to make a franchise," and read it as, "You need an existing IP to have the ability to make a franchise that expensive." But either way, you're right. It's honestly impressive he received that much fucking money to make that movie, especially when you look at its opening weekend gross, which was good but by no means indicative on how much money it was eventually going to make!

I'll have to wait on that. I must have spent, like, 70 hours getting the true ending and playing the other DLC this year, and there's no way I'm diving back in that quickly. But it's a fun fucking game and is the one roguelite that really stuck with me. I'll definitely play it again.

This is definitely true most of the time (Lord of the Rings was based on an existing IP, as one example). But sometimes you can get a ton of money to create a brand new franchise: In 2009 dollars, this was much more expensive than any ST Star Wars film. Maybe you just have to create the highest-grossing movie (at the time) in Titanic to get that kind of dough.
