I think the problem is a vast majority of the American people still believe that old Reagan line “the worst thing you can hear is I’m from the government and I’m here to help” or whatever that geriatric ghoul said.

The majority of people hold a propaganda fueled belief that the government is wasteful and ineffective and inefficient at doing things and so when they hear someone is going to find ways to fix that they mistakenly believe that it is coming from place of honesty and not the bald faced lie it actually is. They (Elon Musk and his sickos) just want to gut government to do whatever they want without any hindrance. If they have to ruin the lives of 200 million in the bottom 75%, well that’s a price they’ll happily pay.

I finished persona 5, and that was a nice happy ending that ended up being way more high stakes that I ever thought it would be. Which I should have guessed but oh well I enjoyed the characters.

I tried persona 5 strikers, but the dynasty Warriors mixed with persona didn’t really do anything for me so I have stopped.

Currently mostly waiting for monster hunter at the end of the month. I’m also moving in with my partner so gaming time is now mostly packing boxes and trying to figure out how I can move things without needing to rent a van or something. Probably end up needing a van or truck though.

There good thing is once I’m moved my computer won’t be right beside my father so I will actually want to go on it and I can play factory style games again, also I can resume my trails in the sky playthrough.

It is apparently coming back up now. So tragically we have access to our games once more

Can’t forget hating your kids too!

Felix’s conservative history series really nailed the point home; neither the Dems nor the conservatives know how to win an election anymore, they can only win when their opponent fucks up more than them.

Yep same with me, got a dumb tv and it’s great, you turn it on and it accepts the feeds you send it…it doesn’t try to advertise 9 billion things at me.

If you want pleasant revolts why not try Abercrombie’s age of madness trilogy. The revolt happens in the second book.

Technically it’s the third trilogy in the the first law universe, so you can read the first law trilogy first, and then the standalone trilogy (named because the three books aren’t connected to each other but set the world building for the age madness).

There’s no good kings here, everyone is different stains of bad. And anyone who tries to be good doesn’t last long.

Many content warnings for the series though, SA, graphic violence, graphic everything really.

Lots of great endings here, I wanna shout out the developers of the messenger, and sea of stars for some really good endings. The messenger fakes you out at least once.

Sea of stars has a decent normal ending but the 100% ending is really excellent.

Been playing lots of UFO 50, the dino tower defense mostly and enjoying that.

Been continuing my persona 5 playthrough, and it has really grown on me, the mechanics and plot have gel’d nicely and I’m happy to do either. Just finished the summer break. Just met the gamer kid who teaches us how to shoot better lol.

I want it to be called, “the pursuit of liberty and freedom, a helldivers story”

I expect it as well and I also expect the libs to win like under twenty seats this election because the party firmly believes Trudeau dragged them too far left. They saw the Harris election loss and went, hmmmm that doesn’t have any relevant information for us, let’s try and court right wing voters now while actively antagonizing the left.

I’m in Alberta so it’s just cold today, -15, but we’re expecting it to climb to 5 degrees or more in a few days so that’ll be pleasant!

Hasn’t snowed here in about a week.

Usually I fight a boss a few times and if I’m nowhere close to winning I’ll look up strategies for beating them. Because yeah slowly fighting a boss to learn all their various tells can be time consuming, especially if you need to walk back each time to challenge them. The most time I spent on bosses was probably sekiro though, with lady butterfly and owl’s hard fight, taking the longest. (Both in the same arena, maybe I just suck fighting in a weird dungeon with pillars?)

Whatever works to get you enjoying the game. I love summoning and getting NPCs to help me too. I love finding ranged weapon or magic cheese as well. I’ve heard of Elden rings’ sleep and stealth exploits that make bosses not even fight back which seems super hilarious.

As a Canadian I support this. Gotta commit to the bit so everyone can have a good laugh.

Bring us more funny little freaks. I want to be more weirdo freak guys. Not just as the comic relief, but as the main damn character.

Nope, the American will never accept a foreign made truck. The Toyota had some impeccable indestructible trucks and Ford and Chevy outsold them. At this point you need to sell a truck the size of a school bus to satisfy the average American truck buyer.

You won’t be shunned. You must accept your ppb though

I’m extremely sensitive to things poking my legs, so I almost never use by pant pockets at all if I have a jacket.

When I’m at work I typically have my phone in my back pocket, my box cutter in the other one, with maybe a tissue and an adhesive bandage in each front pocket. I cannot work if clunky stuff is in a front pockets. And when I sit down I take out everything in my back pockets.

I finished Rise of the Golden Idol, which I really liked overall, but the ending didn’t do much for me, I thought it was going in a way that interested me, and the pivot to something that makes more sense, makes more sense but completely deflated it for me. Because the way the language puzzle works it meant my final guess was so far off that I only fixed it with the hint system. Also I really wanted it to be like 1 hour less of a game, so I wasnt up for another hour of being a detective and slowly swapping between screens and making notes on things. A very good game, but not as good as the first.

Persona 5, I’ve begun the second heist, and I really enjoy both parts of the game, but I almost wish I could just do the life sim and the dungeon crawler independent of each other, because it feels like I simply do not have the time to do what I want and I’m sure that’s intentional, but it’s the biggest struggle for me to play through these types of games.

Path of exile 2, it’s good, it’s also very poorly balanced, with needing a good weapon being so important and not really giving you the tools to get one. It has some really cool interesting boss fights, that have 20% too much going on. It does make it satisfying when you beat them, but also they need better sign posting for these boss fight mechanics. also the game has horrendous stuttering for me which I can only presume is because I’m on wireless internet that hiccups, but it’s around 17ms ping most of the time so I really hope they figure it out. But given that poe1 had this issue for like 10 years and never felt great to play either. It’s probably the thing that will force me to drop the game.

It’s slower so far, plays more like a souls game, which many don’t like. But the old poe was just deleting everything for twenty hours with over powered skills and not actually engaging with anything until near the end of campaign.

So I’m enjoying it, playing as a warrior. About halfway thru act 1. it is quite slow, and bosses require some attempts as you will die until you know what moves must be avoided and what moves you merely should kinda absorb.

I’m playing on ps5 so if it gets really twitchy I’ll probably drop it. But the game was running like leaden ass last night with constant lag spikes and input delay so maybe it’ll feel okay without that.
