Each planet feels alive in its own way which I adore. This is a game journalists worst nightmare since it does nothing original and instead takes as much as they can from other titles. Its like when Far Cry 5 came out, the games good but it didnt do anything new or artsy so hacks started writing about the game is soulless trash. Yeah if your in this boat stay away from this game and play a walking sim.

The thing is, it also chases people off when people say they'd vote for Bernie but not Warren. Especially Warren supporters! And when people say "Well, I wouldn't vote for Biden!" It makes it like they're trying to hold the Presidency and SCOTUS hostage. Just like when people say "I wouldn't vote for Bernie!" it's trying to hold those things hostage. I think a lot of reasons people don't like Bernie much is in large part because a number of his supporters are douchebags.

Everyone has douchebag supporters now. Bernie and Trump were just ahead of the curve.

That poll posted a few topics back that showed that Biden voters took a similar hit in votes when asked to support Bernie as Bernie voters do when asked to vote for another Dem makes me think Tony is right. There some amount of the "vote blue no matter who" crowd that says that but doesnt apply it to Bernie because he isn't a Democrat. Though that's not really an argument that Bernie's D support is more robust, somehow.

However, Warren supporters did not have that same huge drop Biden supporters did so I dunno if her twitter stans are worth the energy

This topic convinced me, I purchased Witcher 3.

So what's the deal with Gwent. Is it like a FFVIII Triple Triad situation where it's just about everywhere and you can challenge random people whenever you feel like it and even has its own sidequests and things?

Not only this but it was so popular they made a standalone version of it with more cards and an expanded ruleset!

It failed miserably.

Aesthetically, Ravana looks metal as hell, but I think my favorite actual fight is Lakshmi.

My fave is probably Thordan. A little before my time in terms of relevancy for the EX fight though...came like two patches late for it. If we're talking fights when they came out...I dunno, Susano? They kinda stopped doing true "primals" for fights.

If we include the raids then easy Alexander

Yeah, I think it's more how you integrate them more than necessarily how "relevant" to the plot they are. The thing that helps FFX is that the party almost never splits up, so it makes it difficult for a character to just fade into the background and seem like they don't exist.

Yeah X does a good job at building its ensemble, just not really at using them. Lulu, Wakka, and Khimari are always around and talking but they could fuck off entirely and not change much.

I think most games in the series don't pass the ensemble test to me.

---

TBQH I think most of the party members in most FF games are forced to varying degrees. There's always like 3 party members the plot revolves around and the rest are window dressing. It's most notable in 9 but I even feel this way about 7 and 10.

When that organization gave me the better of the two job offers that I had out of college back in 2006, and my family requires the flexibility that they give me for scheduling, Im not going to leave just because. With how expensive daycare is, and the fact that our school district doesnt have buses, I need to work very odd hours to cover childcare and do school pick up and drop off.

It's probably worth noting that M4A doesn't exist in a vacuum and the progressive agenda also wants to provide universal childcare and education, increase minimum wage and workers' rights, paid time off and family leave, and affordable housing. And sure maybe you're skeptical of all that too but no one said progress would be easy.

Lex Luthor exists at more or less our level of technology. Maybe a century or two ahead of us with weird science of the Superman world. Two hundred years ago we fought wars with muskets and bayonets. A hundred and fifty years ago streets were lit with fire. A hundred years ago we didn't know what atoms were made out of and you had to be in earshot to talk to somebody. Imagine what science would look like a thousand years from now (assuming no collapse). It'll be likely as divorced from our understanding of the world as ours is to an 11th century Irishman. Give it another ten thousand years. In this Universe, I can't imagine there not being technology that hilariously surpasses Superman's powers. It may take Kevin a million years, or a thousand times that, to get to that point, but you're not arguing determination, you're arguing ability, and given eternity, Kevin would certainly be able to surpass a mere one million Supermen.

Okay, so he's Brainiac, who is a multiversal-level threat that is even smarter than Lex. Who Superman also beats.

My point is that you're giving Kevin this overwrought comic book villain backstory and hyping him up. He's even now an edgy, overpowered version of a harmless character originally made for children! Superman LOVES trouncing these guys, this is firmly his territory.

Which isnt to say Superman is just too OP to lose. Nah. Superman loses all the time. I'd take this Kevin versus one Superman, or maybe even a reasonable amount of Supermen. But Superman also excels in a team - he is a team player, and when he loses, his friends usually step up to bail him out. You just gave each Superman 999,999 friends.

This situations sounds like Kevin has a huge advantage, but it's really a standard Superman story, and it's tailor-made for him to win.

I think you're all missing a big part of the picture. Superman isn't magic. The explanations for his powers don't make sense, obviously, but they are at least grounded in the logic of his world. Given his infinite time to prepare, Kevin could unlock the secrets of those powers. Maybe make an army of robot Supermen, become a super Superman, find a way to specifically counter Superman which something more powerful than Kryptonite in addition to whatever ridiculous science fiction he'd discover, who fucking knows, it's beyond the logic of our world.

At that point he's just Lex Luthor. Superman is kind of good at beating these types of guys

Assuming this Earth is the real Earth, Kevin can't even find Kryptonite because it's not real. So I don't see how he can win.

I was thinking he'd figure out how to synthesize it, but how can you figure out how to synthesize a fictional material with made-up properties? He can't even capture a Superman to experiment on because they only show up to fight when he is ready.

And I can't conceive of any amount of Kryptonite that can stop one MILLION supermans. Superman is very intelligent and the group would strategize - even if Kevin trained into comparable intellect, the Supermans wouldn't leave all one million members exposed at once, even if Kevin made a Krypto-nuke or something.

Finally, movie Superman has access to time manipulation by reversing the rotation of the earth. They could simply reverse time and undo Kevin's preparations.

Easy Supermans

I mean I'll say that her "realistic" plan is why she's fading - but it's because it pissed off both M4A advocates and the center that wants a public option, but more so that second group. Bernie should have gotten a bigger boost if the problem was simply that she wasnt progressive enough. In reality, lots of people dislike that she continues to promise single payer and released detailed plans for it, even if M4A diehards no longer trust her to actually do it.

Compare to Pete who only mentions on his website that he wants a "glide path to single payer" and then publicly trashes it.

I think there's a case to be made that Warren's falling in the polls is due to her backing away from Bernie's vision of Medicare for All.

It's the opposite. Pete's base has huge support for public option while Warren's base still has majority support for M4A. The left likes to criticize her plan for this but it looks more likely that she didnt pivot hard enough and the moderates in her base left her for Pete. He started his rise around when he attacked her, and M4A, at the debate.

The obnoxious thing is that no one wants to defend nepotism. Hunter Biden's appointment is clear nepotism in a way that is "normal" for politics and every other wielder of power. And that sucks but it's also an extremely minor issue in the grand scheme of things because the conflict of interest was never acted upon.

If people want to push to prevent nepotism and conflicts of interests in the future then go right ahead. But Hunter Biden just isn't worth discussing. There is no substance to it. And worse - Trump doesn't care about the substance. It's entirely an issue of appearances.

I think the easiest way to add states is to divide Texas into 5 gerrymandered states as decided by the Texas Legislature. Congress already gave consent for this in the original treaty annexing Texas to the US so Texas should theoretically be able to do it unilaterally with no further federal action.

Yeah let's do DFW, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso gerrymandered in such a way to get 5 new blue states

Also a brief moment to push back on the "Warren is falling because she abandoned M4A" narrative because that's not the whole picture. It probably helped Bernie somewhat. But what you have to understand is that her weird hybrid plan ALSO pissed off the part of her base that legit wanted her to pivot to public option. And where did those voters go?

https://twitter.com/eldon_katz/status/1207572188594941952?s=19

So to the extent that voters actually care about policy...Warren's loyalty to M4A isn't the issue. But the Warren/Pete suburban audience is pretty fickle.

I can't say I understand this, especially given Warren's recent pivot away from M4A. I get the sentiment but... oof.

As another Bernie/Warren person this isn't a sticking point to me. Warren has invested so much into the M4A angle with financing plans and continues to advocate for it that I do view it as a good faith effort to strategically reform healthcare over time. I'm skeptical that it'll actually work, but I think it's good faith.

Plus, her actual proposal for public option is still by far the best out of those. She went from being #2 on healthcare, to being #2 on healthcare. Warren has some issues but this doesnt change the math much to me.

I think the problem here is that you're defining a hate crime as somehow needing to be a threat against a specific person. That isn't how it works.

---

DPOblivion was far more determined than me.

the threat needs to be plausible and the situation changes based on where it's done. a mail slot means you know where a specific person lives and sleeps. an office cubicle means you know where a specific person works. a night club or bar, apart from being a social location, also does not have a target here. it is not the same threat based on the setting. context matters.

you know that there have actually been hate crimes that took place at gay bars, right?

is your argument seriously not that one person can't do significant and deadly harm but that more than one person can do MORE harm?

burning a flag is not the same as burning a cross, a gay bar is not the same as a person's private residence, and an individual doing an act is not the same as a hooded/masked collective. this is apples to oranges.

it shouldn't be a crime to burn a flag outside of a place out of protest, that's political speech. whether that flag be a government flag at a government building or an lgbt flag outside a gay bar, that should be fine and protected.

If you were to burn a cross outside of a black church - or, say, take a gun and shoot one up, like in Charleston - that's a hate crime. The issue is not public vs private residence. The issue you're trying to get at is if sexual orientation and gender are protected classes. They aren't everywhere, but they should be, and that makes this a hate crime.
