The Chinese president calls the animals “envoys of friendship" between the Chinese and American peoples.

 

Pffft. Chinese agents in Panda suits, ready to steal zoo secrets!

I’m not shocked and I’m also not discouraged.

 

It’s not a good look when the Republican nominee for President is on trial for TRYING TO OVERTHROW AN ELECTION in the middle of election season. Average Q Voter is going to see that and go “no thanks”. 

Thats a lot of copium. 
if Biden steps down, Trump gets crushed. 
if Biden runs, it’s 50/50.

the idea that most people who voted for him before care about these charges is a fantasy told by media companies who don’t want us to see that the man in charge is slowly (but not that slowly) turning to dust. 
 

FFS, just nominate Newsom and run the board on election night.

Also, I just finished the last flame mission.

I did not see that coming. I can see why someone would based on the Flame's personality, but he just seemed like a crazy ass cultist. So cool! Hope it's not like the Hush tease in Arkham City that was really cool with the ending being a letdown in Knight.

 

Im hoping they just tackle that in DLC. I want 3 to be about Gobby, not another

Does this have potential to be GOTY or is Zelda still a lock?

BG3 is the lock.

Trump lost by 7million votes…. And if you go by the pivotal states from 2016 it’s 100s of thousands of votes. 

It was 50k to give him enough swing states to win.

Narrow Wins In These Key States Powered Biden To The Presidency

WWW.NPR.ORG

---

Joe Biden topped President Trump by nearly 7 million votes, and 74 votes in the Electoral College, but his victory really was stitched together with narrow margins in key states.

44k more votes in 3 swing states gave him an electoral tie. 
 

pretending the numbers run up in states like NY and Cali matter is ridiculous. Biden won by a slim margin, and definitely hasn’t gained support since 2020.

Miles’ Bodega Cat suit generates some lulz during more serious cutscenes. Recommended. 
 

A couple more crashes, including towards the tail end / last segment of boss fights. Boo. Also got a bug where I heard the sound of running footsteps during a few cutscenes in a row, until the character whose footsteps I was hearing showed up on screen. Another silly bug is all the characters in a scene either being lit by max lighting or none at all. Pete in his black suit looked almost white / glowing. 

Yeah, there’s definitely a litany of bugs.

I edited a couple of your posts. You used quote tags and I assume you meant to use spoiler tags, just FYI.

I absolutely meant to use spoilers. My bad. 

Man, I’m hyped about Snake Eater.

I'm closing in on the end of the game and I just keep coming back to how amazingly paced this game is. It's a constant flow of new abilities, enemies, and twists in the story. Even the content that you've been doing the whole time, like the random crimes, evolve as the story goes along. The first game did this all pretty well, but I think they've really fine tuned it with this second entry. I think this game is better paced and more fluid than most non-open world games. I love the recent God of War titles, but I think this one does better than those even with a much more open world. I think it's right up there with games like Uncharted and The Last of Us in how well it keeps things moving, but it's more impressive given all the balls it keeps in the air.

Agreed. The way they add side content between missions, it small pieces, is incredible. It never felt like a chore to do side content. And as long as you just do all the missions and finish the game, you’re done, 100%.
 

The final fight was crazy. 
 

I think this is the best use of venom I’ve seen in a very long time. 
 

the ending definitely sets up the next game. 
 

And that’s another thing, the story ended well. Shockingly well.

I still have a few nitpicks, like science puzzles and

Miles Morales 2 and Spider-Man 3?

Carnage and Sinister 6 in those two games?

 

Finkshed and platinum done, which took no extra work at all. Im looking forward to talking about it when others finish. I loved it.

I knew Venom was in this game and that's it, and that was given away at the end of the first game, so everything is a surprise to me

same. I knew Venom and Kraven were in it, but paid almost no attention because I knew it was Day 1. 

Holy shit, MJ!

Please call the third one “Spider-Pals”

And let me play as Spider-Pig.

I really hope the 3rd game has Green Goblin. It seems to be going that way, with the focus on “cures” for Harry. I wonder if they’ll do Norman or Harry as Green Goblin?

Wow. Theres so much to talk about and I’m not even done.

We’re going to heal everyone!

This is exactly what I was thinking.

 

"Shocking new Trump poll" is as tired a cliche as "This mystery baffles scientists" and " Dems in disarray" stories. But man, every once in a while my cynical self is still a bit surprised how deep the Trump cult runs.

 

And all for a man who, it's worth mentioning, is the biggest liar in the history of politics.

 

 

 

 

You shouldn't be anymore worried than before, but you should be worried.

 

People making noise about the indictments helping Trump are mostly full of shit.

 

It's like any other terrible person who planned to do something regardless but then justifies their wrong doing by saying "Well you did such and such so you made me do it!". 

 

Or put simply, the indictments aren't making more people vote for him. It's just making his voters louder.

 

Show me...show me the guy who voted for Hillary in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020....but then says to himself, "I never liked that Donald Trump, but now that he is under 4 criminal indictments I think I am going to give him a chance!".

 

Bullshit.

 

A lot of it is conservative smokescreen trying to intimidate people from holding Trump accountable or blaming them for his inevitable nomination.

Trump lost 2020 by 50k votes. Biden has far fewer supporters than he did in 2020. Trump hasn’t lost many, and seems to be gaining in some demographics, including black men and Latinos. He’s also killing Biden in swing states in currency polling. 
 

your little screed ignores a lot of things in Trump’s favor. 

Im currently up to 5 crashes. Something that hasn’t regularly happened to me in quite a while. Usually when im moving fast and there are explosions on screen

I really do love seeing a game like this on console. It’s awesome that so many people get to play a game that looks this good. 

And is just so fun and smooth to play. It’s the third game, and I’m still giddy about how fun swinging around NYC is. 

3 crashes so far. Otherwise I’m loving it. As far as gameplay, it doesn’t really get much better.

Im a few hours in, and so far I love it. I don’t have a ton of time to play, today is opening day for deer, but so far I’m really enjoying it.

I feel like 2023 is such a perfect lesson in this area, too. Zelda and Baldur's Gate have proven that if you take the time to make an amazing game, then people will buy it and talk about it. Both of these games (the only two contenders for GOTY, imo) were the result of thinking like "it will come out when it's finished and we're happy with it." I guess you could argue BG3 came out 1 month too early in order to not conflict with Starfield, but that's relatively minor.

Sure, but even with massive sales, those games don’t make nearly the money a successful live service game does, and that is all the C suites care about. A lot of profit isn’t enough, they want all the profit!

I don’t disagree (a two state solution is basically a fantasy), but I want to clarify that my comment was regarding now, not when colonial powers (mostly the British) decided to draw imaginary lines on maps and completely buttfuck the Middle East. If land was carved out of Germany instead (since Israel’s creation was in response to the end of WWII and the holocaust), maybe things would be different, but world powers of the time wanted to give the biblical holy land (and also probably didn’t want to give up European land). There were Jewish settlements in that region already, and, if I’m remembering my high school history classes correctly, a two state solution was initially offered by the British map line drawers in 1946/1947 but the Palestinians rejected it (and no, I’m not saying the Palestinian’s are to blame), and the (now) Israelis slowly gained control of more of the area via fighting.

My question is now, in 2023, where do these “free Palestine” people want the Israelis to go? I’ve noticed it’s typically no actual answer from these people, or they low-key support genocide. 

Correct, Palestinians rejected the allies original proposal. That certainly doesn’t excuse all Israeli actions against Palestinians in Gaza, but it’s far from the “Israel bad, Palestinians Innocent Civilians” rhetoric I’ve been seeing of leftists online. (Or the “Israel is the godliest state of Godliest states” from the right).

Shouldn’t you be saying strikers should just go back to work so other workers can get paid?

I never said anything like that. I said I understand why someone would feel responsible for the livelihood of those who work for them and aren’t unionized, because those are always who suffers the most. Those people deserve a living as much as those on strike deserve having their demands met. It’s not black and white, the union writers are usually better off than the non union grunt workers holding lights and cameras, and doing craft services, makeup artists. The lead of a show doesn’t just have the union writers to think of.

I mean, there has been a fairly recent trend of attacking people for views they held 40+ years ago, which is absurd but not shocking in this climate. 
 

Unless you’re useful to these activists, then you can complain about your kids growing up in a racial jungle, or even be credibly accused of rape at the height of  MeToo, even when the accusers mother called in to Larry King 25 years before she came out publicly about it, and people will call you a liar because it’s politically expedient. People like Alyssa Milano, a self described leader of the movement, will come out and defend you too!
