Corrik being actively not anti-town makes me think he cares enough about the game to not actively sabotage it

1. The long sign up period is going to cause people who signed up to possibly be less active or less enthusiastic than usual. Some may not have time any more, some may have pity signed up. I expect trains to form on some town for looking weird when its due to circumstance.
2. We have people who have not played in a long while. Those people may act in a way that is especially odd due to their being such a time gap.
3. Gamefaqs is dying. It wouldnt surprise me if some people just arent around as much because they arent on B8 any more.

I like Agnea's story a lot. It's awesome how low stakes it is compared to the others.

But it's also worth asking what level you're at with the four characters. ARe you close to finishing their stories? Have you not recruited them yet?

So, at risk of opening up the polling discussion again, I finally got a tweet that put all the special election data together so I can post that instead of just saying it.

This is the reason why I think "dooming" is the wrong take right now: In 2023 Special Elections across the country Dems have been overperforming Biden 2020 by over 6 points across a variety of types of states (red, blue, swing) capped just now with flipping a Trump 2020 NH state district with a 12 point win and holding onto their one-seat majority in Pennsylvania with a 7.5 point overperformance against 2020.

So despite the media narrative around Biden polls, Dems have been doing considerably better in 2023 than they did in 2020. And to my knowledge special election results going significantly in favor of a party is a better major election year predictor than over-a-year-out Presidential polls. And I don't mean that in a snarky way or even a "President Kerry, President Hillary, Reagan losing in '84" one-liner way, pretty sure the data supports that (and that in general Prez polling this far out does not have a strong correlation with results at all really.)

And because I know it'll come up if I don't put up this disclaimer, and still might anyway, but do not mistake me saying this as complacency or "consider it called." Just that "doom" is just straight up wrong from a data standpoint.

I have not played Sea of Stars so I don't know why I came in this topic, but CrossCode is great! Some people think it's too puzzle-heavy but I really like that. (I still haven't played the DLC that actually gives it an ending tho)

By this logic gummy bears should go on pizza

Bojack Horseman

I think it needed to be 30% less TBH.

Elden Ring sold what, 20 million copies?

Why exactly are we making gameplay so easy and deeming it "safe" again?

I beat this game. Will post a very long post later but I have to say its remarkable how this game can be very good and the best FF since X yet still have a tonne of problems and convince me that the series is in even more dire need of a course correction.

Scott Pilgrim is an incredibly popular series. It's one of the best selling Graphing Novels of the last 20 years.
