Yeah, I saw that, which was disappointing, but then yesterday her campaign manager said she's meeting with her team to "asses the path forward" so hopefully she'll change her mind.

Well, those results are disappointing. Warren was my candidate, but now I'm hoping she'll see the writing on the wall and get out, rather than keep splitting the progressive vote.

I feel like it wouldn't be Sonic if the plot weren't Saturday-morning-cartoon-tier.

How drastic are the changes from the original?

Yeah, I said I hope the Dems will see they need to come farther to the left, and I do, but a less-good-but-still-better-than-now option would be the Dems continue to refuse to come to the left, end up dying as a party, and an actual left-wing party rise in their place.

Because I think voting for them to defeat Trump would be winning the battle and losing the war. I'm sick of racist sexist billionaire assholes running everything, and I'm tired of "moderates" who value compromise in and of itself, without any regard for the actual effects of what they're doing. The Democratic party needs to swing hard to the left (to put it in perspective, they're our "liberal" option, and overall they're about on par with the Tories in terms of actual positions on issues), and that won't happen until they see they have to to win. So yes I think 4 more years under Trump would be worse than 4 years under any of those three candidates, but that keeps the party center-right in the long term. If they nominate a moderate, then I'll vote for a party that's farther left, and hopefully they'll see they left votes lying on the table, and maybe decide they should move that direction.

Anyone who hasn't seen that original video really needs to. And yes, if Bloomberg gets the nomination I will be voting third party. Also probably if Biden does, and maybe if Buttigieg does.

I mean, it's basically like a slightly-worse flu, it's not the end of the world. H1N1 that everyone was flipping out about like 10 years ago is now endemic worldwide and is just one of the normal flus that goes around periodically, and society has not ground to a halt.

How can it possibly cost more grounded than in use?

I don't know anything about Sonic Adventure, but I fucking loved Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the Gamecube.

?

What would it even be without cosmic horror? That'd be like Doom without the Hell portal or something.

I'm a firm believer in buying last year's model of phone. It's already lost most of the "ooh shiny" price inflation, but you still get most of the usable life out of it. Same as how you wouldn't buy a brand new current-year car.

I thought the dialog implies that he put down the load immediately before the conversation began... I agree they're pretty barebones, but think of how many of those they had to make, multiple ones for every single combination of side characters.

There's a balance to be struck between caring enough to keep society from breaking down, and not stressing about it so much that it ruins your life. As an aside, my line of work encourages this really cynical attitude where I'm relieved when certain people die because it clears cases from my load. "Oh, he died, now I don't have to do that preliminary hearing next week, that's a relief, now I'll actually have time to prep for that jury trial in three weeks..." I always feel guilty about feeling that way, but it doesn't stop it from happening.

That seems weird that they would be pushing them to change since every Rockstar game seems to be a magic money tree. Like, I kind of get it when it's "just" the kind of success that sells a few million copies, but they sell approximately infinite copies...

That must have been on your backlog for a while. ?

What? Why?

Nixon was never actually even impeached, he resigned once it became clear he would be, so there was never any trial procedure discussed. With Clinton it's basically as you say, they proved he lied under oath in a civil lawsuit against him for conduct when he was governor of Arkansas, but since it didn't have anything to do with him abusing his power as president they didn't feel it warranted removal. Trump is worse, because his very much directly ties in to him abusing his power as president, so by acquitting him they're basically saying nothing the president does can be worthy of impeachment.

Honestly, the number of Sony exclusives I care about is extremely limited.

I think it could go either way, I think it depends how core to its identity the original tone is. It's not video games, but the Harry Potter books are I think a good example of a series that grew up with its characters.

I'm slowly working my way through Disco Elysium. I'm very much enjoying it, I love how responsive it is (seems to be?) to the way you play the character. The only reason my progress is slow is because you definitely have to be in the right mood to play it, so I've been interspersing it with Pokemon Sword and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore.

They actually adopted the same rules as the Clinton impeachment so that they could claim to be being fair. The difference being in the Clinton impeachment they actually voted to call witnesses when that time came.

I know I'm a few days late, but...

I believe it's endgame stuff.
