It all depends if people (Dems) will overreact when the US gets another spike

I'm not even sure I'd go with "paying homage to" - it was Miller actively aping the style of Sin City because Miller was the driving force behind getting The Spirit made (and possibly the only person on Earth who actually cared about the franchise).

I saw that in a theater as well, I think. I don't remember it being that bad.

For real though, why did they give him 2 Onix, such a weirdly out of place weak Pokemon for the Elite Four. I get not using Primeape, but still.

At least could have given him a Poliwhirl and a Golem or something.

I don't even have to click that link to know that's an opinion piece, not reporting. The headline itself clearly states an opinion.

Honestly, announcing MP4 was a mistake. An understandable one, since it sounds like they thought things were going to go more smoothly and then ended up completely flipping the table on what had been done prior to Retro's involvement, but they definitely jumped the gun on it.

It's not even the same genre.
Please stop shilling the game.

Honestly, I kind of like that approach better than "here's a concept, it's probably coming some time next year but maybe not because we've really just started and we don't know how production will go." It makes delays less likely, gives people less time to hype themselves up to the point of inevitable disappointment (they will anyway, but at least 6-8 months of that is easier to recover from than 2-3 years), and discourages crunch because deadlines can be based on project progress instead of pressure from the public (and shareholders) to meet the date they were promised.

yea this is EXACTLY government's role -- pay and encourage people to get addicted to drugs. oh so glad we are becoming more and more dependent on government handouts. we also need government to cook all our meals, brush our teeth. heck, who needs elections, just let the government vote on our behalf, too.

Was not expecting XC3. Am very happy about XC3. I'm a little disappointed they're moving on without revisiting X, since there was very obviously an X-2 planned,

It's not.

The small faction of anti-vaxxers at my dad's work (steel fabrication) got let go without pay; many of them lied about getting vaccinated and took advantage of the 2 days paid off work that was offered.

They'll agree with EVERYTHING from say, Fox News, and disparage all other sources. I'll willingly CRITICIZE the MSM closer to 'my side', but I'm primarily going to the source - scientists in THEIR PRIMARY FIELD, actual people etc. While they parrot ANYTHING they'll hear...the inability to see this clear contradiction in reason is EMBARRASSING.

You think every social media post is true? You think that looks like someone who was violently assaulted? Are you aware that social media is the number one source of fake news and false flags? Are you gullible?

90% of the trucking industry is vaccinated.

Or you could always volunteer for a secret project to turn you into a cyborg. Based on all the comic books and movies where some sinister organization secretly funds projects to create superhumans out of crippled people and expendable prisoners, it seems like that sort of thing happens all the time.

depends on how i want my experience to be

shit like RotTK or warhammer 2 where i suck at it? easy mode all day, maybe with some cheat engine so i can try really dumb shit. how many skeletons does it take to beat a well rounded dwarven artillery/missile composition? let's find out.

revengeance? im going to master this two minute boss fight on the hardest difficulty because damn it's fun and there's no consequences for losing

It's gonna be disappointing isn't it

But yeah, Dems totally have this in the bag and the Republicans are just a bunch of morons that will be laughed off by the voters. No need to worry!

I thought the right was "pro history" and the left were the ones that want to change history in order to shield over-sensitive?

How does nobody see that it's never going to end, because the people in power don't want it to. Just look at France. They have a roughly 90% vaccination rate. So what's the obvious next step? Why more restrictions of course! People need to stop and reflect on the kind of world they're creating. Everyone is rushing to an Orwellian dystopia with open arms. It reminds me of the same group hysteria everyone whipped themselves into after 9/11. Oh no! Keep me safe! There's terrorists around every corner!

Based on all of human history. It's a pretty solid trend. When you yield power to a government they almost never relinquish it. If you want an example. Just look at the fact they're still renewing the Patriot Act and the MDAA 20 years after 9/11.

I think it's safe to say that most elections have some level of wrongdoing involved regardless of party so that's just the way that goes but there has never been enough election fraud committed to steal an 8th grade student council election but a certain faction paints of running rampant fraud and that's not the case.

This was known for like 2 years, I've mentioned it a few times.

It's become increasingly obvious that there are few to no guards in place designed to ensure that the US remains a democracy.

A functional system should first and foremost be able to ensure it's own continued existence.

Wisconsin Republicans did not respond well to the state's election results in November 2020, when Donald Trump narrowly lost the state. In fact, after the state Supreme Court affirmed President Joe Biden's victory in Wisconsin, and it came time for state officials to complete the process, some Republicans went in an especially ridiculous direction.

It was on Dec. 14, 2020, when Wisconsin electors met in the state capitol for an official ceremony in which the state formally assigned its electors for the electoral college. There wasn't anything unusual about this: On the same day, every state did this, with Trump electors being assigned in states won by the GOP ticket, and Biden electors being assigned in states won by the Democratic ticket.

But as we discussed a couple of weeks ago, the process in the Badger State became a little messier: While the actual electors were being assigned inside the state capitol in Madison, a group of Wisconsin Republicans quietly held a separate, fake ceremony in the same capitol, at the same time to cast electoral votes for Trump, despite his defeat in the state.

They then proceeded to forge the official paperwork and sent it to, among others, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. Archivist, as if the materials were legitimate. They were not.

As Rachel noted on last night's show, that's an important controversy in its own right, but what we didn't know until yesterday was that Wisconsin wasn't alone. Politico reported:

"As Trump's team pushed its discredited voter fraud narrative, the National Archives received forged certificates of ascertainment declaring him and then-Vice President Mike Pence the winners of both Michigan and Arizona and their electors after the 2020 election. Public records requests show the secretaries of state for those states sent those certificates to the Jan. 6 panel, along with correspondence between the National Archives and state officials about the documents."

I have three questions.

First, were these efforts legal? Groups of Republicans in three states signed their names to forged documents, pretended they were real, and sent them to government agencies. I'm not an attorney and can't speak with any authority on whether this constituted fraud, but I'll be eager to learn what legal experts have to say about the schemes.

Second, did these GOP groups have any outside help? The materials out of Wisconsin and Michigan, for example, were practically identical, with matching formatting and fonts. Was this an amazing coincidence or was there some kind of behind-the-scenes coordination? If so, who played an organizing role?

And third, exactly how many states featured pro-Trump Republicans creating forged election materials? We previously knew of one; now we know of three.

Trump lost 25 states in 2020. How many of them included election opponents willing to send fake documents to government offices?

For all that people say things like "We could never build something like that today!"

I guess I just figured since they were all on sale on Steam that I'd pick the 1st one and play them in order too. I own all of them except 4. If I like the series maybe I'll get 4 in the future.
Also I always heard that 3 was the worst AoE game and fans hated it?? That's going by what I've heard anyway. 2 is supposedly teh best one and not sure what people think of 4 yet.

I'm a 90s kid and it just doesn't feel right starting with newer ones.

NWH was more serious and had more far-reaching implications IMO. And definitely had a more downer ending than ITSV.

It was already exposed that rightwing politicians that spread Covid BS have money invested in companies that manufacture treatments for Covid. So its to their benefit that more people get sick.

It really does need to, though. They also shouldn't be able to own any investment properties, at least not if they're in a position to make decisions that will affect housing and/or commercial tenants. Also no presence on any corporation's board.
