bullet-point translations from ERA:
- Only host gets progress from dungeons.
- Load times are long.
- You have to remake the party every time you go to a different dungeon (can stay in the current one to rerun the same one though).
- DLC weapons seem to be stronger than ultimate weapons in the original game.
- Servers aren't handling the load that well.
- Cutscenes can't be skipped.

wtf bolded -_-... it's so sad that the whole excitement of this game was to finally make this multi-player focused game that relied on link cables for multiplayer finally accessible to play... but we get all this crap

DLC weapons being stronger than ultimates is a huge fucking bummer

not too long ago, i criticized corrik for linking to fox news and a few people - tony in particular - went "SHUT UP LASA AS LONG AS THE CONTENT OF WHAT CORRIK POSTED IS FINE IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S FOX."

then people in this topic attacked corrik for linking to the daily mail and andy ngo and tony didn't say s***.

after i pointed this out, instead of profusely apologizing, tony said "classic lasa."

tl;dr tony is an ass

Here Ill make it simpler for you:

Is the information legitimate?

If so>who cares what source someone links

If not>Hey, your source is bad

Corriks Fox News article was literal news that nobody refuted. Complaining it came from Fox was POINTLESS and then you started slinging insults when people disagreed.

You once again started throwing insults for people just pointing out your posts arent constructive, so my classic Lasa was extremely accurate.

But I definitely am an ass sometimes, I wont deny it, but it comes from a place of friendly ribbing over our longtime familiarity,

I got bored of the speech so I didnt pay attention and missed this until I saw a bunch of people talking about:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/08/21/joe-biden-dnc-speech-transcript.html

As president, I will make you this promise: I will protect America. I will defend us from every attack. Seen. And unseen. Always. Without exception. Every time.

Really giving away the plan that Biden wont even finish his first term, huh? How and why else would he even bother saying something so clippable that cant be guaranteed? Its like if you like your doctor, you can keep them to the 100th power.

Speech is fine otherwise, but I dont think the Dems have Trumps unique ability to promise the moon and then brush off the recoil when he doesnt even deliver like, a boulder.

So Pelosi... endorsed a co-worker that she credits for the sweeping victories in the House in 2018 who has the same policy positions as the person he's running against in the primary and this makes her a piece of shit, when just a few weeks ago you were complaining that she won't endorse non-incumbants?

You are very transparent at the fact that you will criticize her for literally anything and it is very obnoxious.

I have literally never complained she wouldnt endorse non-incumbents? The fuck?

I dont expect her to endorse against Democrats in good standing, and its a reasonable position for leadership of a partyif its consistent.

You do not need to defend her.

Could you give me a brief summary of Kennedy vs. Markey? I noticed Bernie declined to endorse either, so I was curious what the key differences are since I'm clueless.

Co-wrote the Green New Deal, co-sponsored Medicare for All, the bar is low enough that thats good enough for me right now, and Pelosi endorsing against the incumbent is just confirmation (bias) that Pelosi doesnt actually care about the things I care about, even if Kennedy SAYS hes for those things.

Homophobic, Transphobic, Sexist, racist. Also friends with Alex Jones, and is perfectly fine with Trump as President. So yeah, he's a bad person.

You could say hes transphobic because of his view on combat sports, but the rest of that is totally wrong (minus being friends with Alex Jones).

In Alex Jones case, he literally wouldnt let Alex onto his show unless Alex denounced his school shooting truther-ism.

I never understood this attitude. You want people to realize what they've done try and repent for it, rather than doubling down. I'd rather be forgiving of people who know what they did was wrong now than finger-wagging and insisting that the only acceptable form of repentance is ritualistic suicide.

The problem is I dont believe theyve changed.

Guys sorry I helped a million republicans get elected under W, Trump is too crazy for me please have me.

Republicans were trending towards batshit crazy well before Trump ran for President.

The truth is actually that progressives are getting a decent amount (though certainly not all) of the policy they want. What they're not getting any of is the revolutionary tone (which doesn't matter at all, but which I'm convinced some people care about more than the actual policy).

How hard do you think the Democratic Party will fight for those things we want?

Also, I see no reason to believe that Bernie would be doing better than Biden right now in the polls. As much as the Republicans want to paint the who Democratic Party as dangerous socialists, they're having a much tougher time with Biden.

Dude the few Republican friends I have on Facebook literally think Joe and Kamala are MARXISTS lmao, they arent having a tough time with this at all.

Also as far as the media coverage, at this point itd be hard to find it specifically, but I know we all saw it. When Bernie was dominating in the first few races, the media coverage wasnt Bernie versus Trump, it was all Can the Democrats stop Bernie? and then AS SOON as Joe took the lead, they pivoted to Joe in the general.

Can Coronavirus or Bernie Sanders be stopped etc

He got fewer votes than Biden. That suggests he had less "grassroots support" than at least one candidate.

Voters don't care how it's funded either, until some idiot running for President or some moron in the media decides to ask "How are we going to fund it?" And they ask because they all belong to corporations. You think voters really care about in depth plans? Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump proved they don't. We're only held to a higher standard because we allow ourselves to be. It's time everyone get held to the same standard.

Everyone gets excited about a SPACE FORCE, and somehow... nobody asks "How are we going to pay for it?" Somehow we'll be the only country with a space force, and the only major country to not have Universal Healthcare.

I'm talking about VOTERS. Not representatives or senators or whatever. If voters said "we don't care about the funding, tax us more", then there would be no excuse. But your average voter does not want to hear any argument that touches on the possibility of their taxes rising. They may be annoyed at excess military spending, but not as much as I think you want to hear.

This is a talking point literally perpetuated by lobbyists and the representatives they own.

When you give people healthcare that costs less in taxes than they pay out of pocket, they understand. In countries that HAVE healthcare, its practically a death sentence for a politician to campaign against it! So the shitheads in Britain for example instead subtly make it worse, with their goal of patsies like you taking up their water. Dont be offended, the polling and numbers are not in your favor, just recognize that maybe healthcare is good and worth it.

Tl;dr When you demand they personally sign-off on funding and scaremonger about the cost, yes,
people are against it. When they actually have it, they love it. Every time.

So it couldn't POSSIBLY be that your ideology isn't as popular as you believe it is. The system is just completely rigged and there's nothing you need to do to change and make progressivism more appealing to a wider audience.

I just don't understand why you're SO sure that, if the system was fixed, progressives would take over the Democratic Party. What proof is there that this is the case? Sure, in deep blue areas, yeah, fine. But America is a purple nation, not a blue one.

Are you denying the system is biased/slanted in the direction of those in power? You think Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden had equitable paths in terms of media coverage and party support?

Setting aside the obvious things like Bernies massive grassroots support that dwarfed every other candidate, including the two who ended up on the ticket, my evidence is the our media and culture (minus our war boner) is soooooooooOooooOoooOooo far to the Left of both political parties. Our political system that relies on corporate donations is entrenched in the right wing of politics, and it is so incredibly out of touch with the people its absurd.

You think a political system with a 50% AT BEST participation rate properly conveys the will of the people?

Inviso posted...

But as I've said before, the attitude of progressive supporters far too often comes across as "we're right and we've done nothing wrong in our campaigning; the system is just rigged against us." It prevents any introspection whatsoever and allows the discourse to continue shifting right, because you guys don't act any different from the nonsense of the Green and Libertarian non-parties.

This is an incredible paragraph to say on THIS election, especially considering these things arent exclusive! Bernie made mistakes, I dont think theres a single supporter of his who would tell you different, but we know for a fact that Obama called up the candidates and got them to drop out and rally behind Joe.

Im not saying its a crime or against the rules in anyway, but that is rigging/collusion by the most basic definition. You wanna talk about how they did it because they thought Joe had a better chance, thats fine, but as these polls tighten up before Joes even had a chance to debate, you cant tell me Bernie would be in a worse position as the guy demanding for healthcare before and during an actual fucking pandemic lmao, this was his time.

Also the nonsense of the green and libertarian parties proves the necessity of ranked choice. Its only nonsense because were literally held hostage by the two Party system. It fucking sucks ass and theres no defending it.

Tony, the primary was a two-party system in which the liberal left could literally prove that they're stronger than the conservative center, and Bernie STILL just could NOT get the job done. So yes, I think conservatives Democrats outnumber liberal Democrats or leftists or whatever you want to call them. What makes you think they DON'T?

Fear of Trump + a media saying for four straight years that the Left is why Hillary lost = people running to the guy the same media said was the best/only/eventual winner?

How many hundreds of prominent Dems have we seen literally say Joe isnt my first choice, but hes our only choice.

In fact, I believe YOU literally said this.

How does the guy who was nobodys first choice win, especially after getting historically BTFO in the first three democratic primaries?

Pragmatism, fear, and apathy on the Left of seeing those things combining into perhaps the weakest Presidential candidate in our lifetime who STILL could somehow win this.
