This might possibly be the worst PSN month ever. Are they running out of games that companies are willing to make free? Or do they feel like they already "paid their dues" with the Uncharted/Journey freebies?

The people you're describing with those 4 points are the exact same people that give off "creepy" vibes, and I'll guarantee that all of them at some point in their lives have creeped out a woman in some completely harmless way, that the outrage culture proponents would find a way to spin into a #MeToo moment.

The weird thing is that we'll probably have FF7 Remake 2 out by the time we get another Games contest, and having two FF7 Remakes in the same contest might do interesting things for its strength (especially if original FF7 is in there too...).
I always assumed they would release the subsequent parts as DLC/expansions to the original game?

To use a great example, using the wording in the poll, there are insane people out there that are trying DESPERATELY to have something to be angry/offended at, that a passing glance at open cleavage in a public setting could "cause them" "discomfort or shame". The reality of the situation is that what's happening to Biden can happen to literally every man posting in this topic because by the very definition of the "MeToo" movement, there is no requirement for anything to have even happened in order for someone to be "cancelled"

The biggest problem with the SJW subculture, is that the goalposts are constantly being moved. Behavior that was normal and acceptable 10 years ago would now result in people getting "cancelled" and I have no idea why.

The only thing I can think of, is that modern society just has WAY too many people with no responsibilities or value, that just sit around all day making blog posts and dumb youtube videos. These in turn corrupt impressionable but normal people into being "woke", and it just propogates from there.

Also there's a common misconception since the internet is not representative that the Democratic party has to fight primarily for voters on the far left.

Most voters being fought for are still politically in the center.
This 100%

If you go on Reddit, where posts from r/BernieSanders and r/"OurPresident" are constantly bubbling up, you would think that Bernie was the next God Emperor of the USA, and was on his way to an easy win in the primaries. Then you leave reddit and the reality is he had a small following of single issue voters (mostly people that want free money to pay off their liberal arts degrees) that couldn't be energized enough to the point that they would actually vote for him.

It's very simple in the "who would beat Trump" argument, Biden has the best chance because his policies reflect the reality of the larger group of people. Biden has a chance to sway moderate voters away from Trump, while Bernie couldn't even scrape up enough "socialist votes" to win states where the moderate candidates were splitting votes 2-3 ways.

All that being said, any Bernie bro that is "boycotting" or "protesting" the election is directly helping Trump win. They are sooooo salty that their preferred candidate couldn't pull off the primaries that they are willing to risk another 4 years of Trump, which is on every metric a worse situation than Biden even from their perspective

Its sad but its true. The people on the fringes of the political spectrum have more in common than they do in ideological differences. They are:

  • Both incredibly anti-science
  • Both are increasingly relying on "feelings" over logic
  • Neither group is capable of holding a nuanced opinion. It's either full blown Soviet style socialism, or 1930s German nationalism
  • Probably worst of all, both groups have a fundamental belief that democracy is something to be subverted and ultimately destroyed. You see it with the actions of the GOP, but also with the way Bernie bros have manufactured a "scandal" in an effort to debase the democratically chosen party leader.

It's pretty telling that the only people that are even entertaining these insane out of left field accusations are buttfurious Bernie bros.

Noone is saying to not investigate the accusations, or follow the criminal justice processes. What people are saying is that nothing about that situation passes any kind of logic, and smells of a desparate ploy for Bernie bros to try to undermine democratic processes.

It shows a startling lack of critical thinking skills if you think the accusations are actually true, and you aren't just pretending to believe it to service your political bullshit

But you WERE supporting sexual assault by voting against Hillary. Just like you're supporting sexual assault by voting for Donald Trump, and I'm supporting sexual assault by voting for Joe Biden. At least now we're equals now, so maybe you won't feel so defensive about discussing why we're so willing to excuse sexual assault.

BT's hot take:

"Believe the victim always" is the stupidest fucking take you can have in 2020. The criminal justice system is founded on the presumption of innocence for many very good reasons, and the SJW lynch mobs that form any time one of these situations comes up is bizarre and confusing.

This specific situation involves a woman who for the last 30 years has said nothing, yet suddenly felt the need to "come forward" with absolutely no evidence or corroboration, at the EXACT MOMENT that it was clear Bernie was going to lose.

Bernie bros are right up there with Trump voters when it comes to not making any goddamn sense, and putting "feelings" above logic and reason. Bernie has some good ideas (it blows my mind that most Americans think that Universal Healthcare available in every other developed country in the world is some kind of "socialist boogeyman"), but ultimately couldn't even do enough to get his own supporters to vote for him. Biden is the best chance to beat Trump, and the buttfurious Bernie bros are doing their best to sabotage the only half-reasonable politicians left in the USA from saving your country.

As a Canadian who will see very few effects of another 4 years of Trump, I can only laugh at how broken and insane American politics has become.

...until the guy they support was accused of sexual assault.

Take out weapon durability and it becomes a top 10 Zelda. Add some actual dungeons with the level of complexity the previous games had and it's probably too 3.

I really want to believe in HGSS. It has everything going for it:

-Not Gen 1 so no 'genwunner' bashing
-Remake of Gen 2, so still on the fringes of nostalgia
-Gen 4 engine, which is enjoyed competitively compared to other gens
-Actually pretty decent as an RPG at times

Automata's seemed like the most textbook midcarder; decent numbers showing off strength, but nothing overwhelming. HGSS has every intangible to overcome it (and feels like the only Pokemon game that would be safe to rally without "lol this gen" ).
It's a remake of a game that's already weaker than "genwun". It's looked worse than Nier so far to boot

Portal 2 has proven contest strength. Persona has questionable performances against entities that have likely dropped in strength from their last known performance

I don't think I'm going to play one of those 16 games during the break, but after this contest I'm making a point of trying RE2 this year. I have RE1 in my Steam library so I'll play that one first, but damn if I won't try the sequel after the crazy match it gave us (and the rare oppurtunity for me to leave my own mark in a contest with that last minute RE2 rally).

This contest has done plenty to motivate me to play new games tho. Before it, I had only played 5 from the bracket (Portal 2, Danganronpa, Undertale, Link Between Worlds and Berseria). Now I have played Celeste, I have Bastion in my Steam library, and there are plenty of others I wanna try. Not to mention I'm more motivated to finally buy a Switch this year.
How in the fuck have you only played 5 of those games? Why do you visit a gaming website if you do not play video games?
