General Gaming ~*D1P's Games of 2020*~
skillzdadirecta replied to Commissar SFLUFAN's topic in The Spawn Point
Since finishing Outer Worlds I started up a playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. I had only put 3 hours total into it before. Lets see how long it holds me before I tap out. Usually Fallout games get me for 60 hours or so. I think I've approached them wrong before. I also started up Dead Rising 4 finally. -
Yeah this wasn't the case in my city. All three magnet schools were predominately black and hispanic, something like 80 to 90%, reflecting the community at large because you had to actually live in the district in order to go to those schools. I worked on a project a couple of years back dealing with education and while there may be some drawbacks to magnet schools, they were found to be more successful than charter schools in closing the educations gap. Also my school didn't have a good sports team so we got nowhere NEAR the amount of funding the other high schools got. I can't speak to what goes on in other parts of the country, but I know that the magnet schools and also the vocational schools, were a net positive when I was there.

In my case you had to live in the district (or at least have an address there) but you had to take a test to get into the school and maintain a certain GPA in order to stay there. The idea was that it would take the best and the brightest from the city and prep them for college. Magnet schools have proven to be more successful than charter schools but fell out of favor for some reason. My City had four magnet high schools I believe.

D1P Democratic Primary Poll
skillzdadirecta replied to Massdriver's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
Probably not here, but there are examples of folks who were Bernie supporters last time voting for Trump when Hillary was the nominee. On one of the Twitter posts someone here posted there were Bernie supporters in the responses raising the possibility of withholding their votes to "teach Chuck and Nancy a lesson" if Bernie isn't the nominee -

D1P Democratic Primary Poll
skillzdadirecta replied to Massdriver's topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
My heart goes with Warren but my head goes with Biden. His annoying ass followers aside, I don't have anything against Bernie, I just don't see how he can win to be honest. If he thinks what the DNC and mainstream media are "throwing at him" is bad, then he is in for a RUDE awakening if he becomes the nominee and I really worry about how he does in the South and Southwest. -

Finished Blood and Truth on PSVR- 8 out of 10. Game does a great job pf making you feel like you're in an action packed Guy Ritchie movie with great set pieces and gunplay. A well produced story and great performances top it off and the cliff hanger ending has me looking forward to the next installment. I had a great time with this game and with the Sony headset. -
Television Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 12 Trailer
skillzdadirecta replied to skillzdadirecta's topic in The Performing Arts Centre
I loved this episode so much that I restarted the whole series over... I'm already on season 2 -
I was mostly talking about the gamebreaking glitch at the end of Rage 2 that prevents you from finishing the game. It seems to be across platforms and has not been patched or fixed yet.

I'm definitely interested in Doom Eternal but after the game breaking mess that is Rage 2, I think I'm gonna hold off for a bit to make sure this game isn't a glitchy bug ridden mess like most Bethesda games.

There's a difference between fighting a horrible disease, something I just went through with a close family member, and reading the writing on the wall regarding the political climate of the country and seeing things for what they are. Do I think things can change? Absolutely yes. But i don't think they will when most of the folks advocating for that change either absolutely refuse to see what the problems really are because they just don't want to face the ugly truth or they are truly oblivious. As long as "Progressives" continue to stick their heads up their own asses and pretend everything smells rosey, they will continue to be happy losers. The Progressive Left is only "political movement" that sees an outright loss as some degree of winning. It will also cut its own nose off to spite its face. So forgive me if I don't see a lot of "hope" in today's electorate after all we've seen in the last ten or so years. Would I LOVE to be proven wrong? Yes because I think the stakes are high as hell, but am I preparing for the worse outcome (A second term of Trump) YUP.
