Hah You're right. Well that just makes my argument even stronger Probably made the mistake because I semi-recently replayed KOTOR II on PC.

My gut reaction is this last gen was better by a healthy margin. Most of the great games from the 360/PS3 gen have very close analogs in this last gen that were generally more polished and often just plain better at what they did. There were perhaps a few exceptions that were not replicated. Those include: Portal 1/2 Halo 3/Reach (because 343 just hasn't replicated/improved the formula) Bioshock Infinite KOTOR But then from this gen we have some true stand outs on top of the set that just improves on what we had in the 360/PS3 gen, including: The Witcher Fucking 3 Persona 5 Breath of the Wild Unique 2D Metroidvanias Hollow Knight Ori 1/2 FF7 Remake DOOM/Eternal revive The Return of CRPGs (also on consoles though) Divinity Original Sin 1/2 Pillars of Eternity 1/2 Wasteland 2/3 Disco Elysium Mortal Kombat X/XI Revive God of War Spiderman And then a bunch of other very high quality games that I might not have put into that list, but were otherwise new. (I'm also hoping I will find myself forced to add Cyberpunk to this list) So yeah. This last gen wins easily for me.

@Mr.Vic20 The best part is the price appears to be unlisted

They get the axe for tarnishing Under Pressure.

Thanks for the offer! I actually already have one though so you are free to collect your $5.00 The Kinect was indeed a huge boon for robotics when it came out -- you just couldn't get depth sensing at that cheap a price then. We had em all over the place at the lab I worked in back then. These days there are a lot of Kinect rip offs though that you can get. In addition to my Kinect, the (decommissioned) robot I currently have in my house has one of the knock offs too.

Other than my disappointment making me reconsider, I've always preferred "upgrade" over "replace" myself.

Well hey, maybe it will payoff after all!

We often joke about me killing all humanity in a robot apocalypse, but these last few years are starting to make me consider it more seriously.

Feels like the odds of civil war are increasing.

Please don't stop posting. I appreciate your viewpoints and thoughts!

Vaccines showing promise and knowing that Biden will be taking over, while he already has a task force in place, to solve the tricky distribution problem is the best set of news all year. It's mind blowing how much relief there is knowing that our government will actually try to help rather than doing the worst possible thing they could do.

Everything still sucks, but at least it might get slightly better instead of progressively worse. Longest 4 years of my life.

I don't think I invited anyone myself. Also I think we only became besties after BC/D1P.

@Xbob42was right, this is exactly like watching the progress bar when you're copying files. (At least I think it was him who said it, sorry to whomever did if not!)

Thanks for the nightmares.

Biden was expected to lose the county, but even if he did he still had a good path to victory, so the fact that he's more competitive in the counties he's expected to lose than expected is a good sign. I won't count on anything until it's done, but that's the gist.

Thanks. I donated.

I feel compelled to share this again. The only difference is that they're dragging all of us in with them.

If Florida goes red I won't be surprised. I've been telling my wife I won't for a moment believe they'll go blue because they're fucking Florida, the most bat shit insane state when it comes to elections. I really would love for them to prove me wrong but god I hate that state (select members of the populace withstanding).

I actually don't think the ACA benefited me personally a lot, because I've never been denied coverage and have been fairly fortunate in life. I don't think there is a meaningful difference between "not harmful" and "helpful" in this kind of context. You make choices by how good they are relative to your other options. Even if a good M4A plan eventually gets implemented thereby giving all people access to decent health care, many people will still struggle in life and there will be more work to be done to make the world better. So I think we can keep dangling the "helpful" carrot for quite some time. But perhaps then our main disagreement is just semantics if we both agree "the democrats would be better for rural people." I certainly have no qualms with pushing the dems to be better. I wish Biden was.

I appreciate that you voted for Biden, I really do. I also appreciate and entirely sympathize with the democratic party not being united behind big ideas. But I still don't see how you can get to democratic policies not helping rural people more. I can't really comment on your anecdote about your mom - I know nothing about it other than the little you've said. But the ACA *did* help a lot of people, and even the weak goals of Biden to expand it are a vast improvement compared to where the GOP wants to go. And it seems like if you're conceding "yes the republican's want even worse" that it's not really consistent with an objection to the claim that democrats will help them more. And if more rural communities acknowledged that fact and voted democratic, by your own reasoning the democrats would do even more since right now you see their efforts as "compromise" out of necessity. So once again, we arrive at the conclusion that rural communities voting republican are doing themselves a disservice and they'd be helped more by democrats. If you temper your objection to "democrats don't do nearly as much as we would want, so lets not sing their praises" I will, however, agree with that!
