I guess for me watching the gameplay segments was super boring; maybe playing them is better? I was watching at like 1.5x speed (2x for gameplay) and I stopped like 6 or 7 hours in. The story was okay, but wasn't worth sitting through the gameplay segments.

I mean, maybe they don't, but it also makes the claim absolutely pointless

Also from what I can tell based on a few minutes of googling Obama has a higher approval rating than Sanders (low 60s vs high 50s).

bernie is currently the most popular politician so the idea that his popularity comes from being out of the limelight is nonsense. the idea that hillary being hated after DECADES of attacks is why bernie would have somehow become less popular in mere MONTHS of attacks is also nonsense.

Whenever I see an article saying this it's basing the claim on Bernie doing the best out of a set of like 10 politicians that they poll

As a former Virginian I see that one as a pretty possible loss. Clinton racked up a ton of votes in NoVA which mainly consists of moderate voters, many of whom work for either the government, the military, or government contractors. It is very much not the type of place where an anti-establishment message works well (and indeed, Clinton crushed Bernie there and Trump got third to Rubio/Kasich in Fairfax). Clinton ended up beating Trump in NoVA by over 30 points, compared to Obama beating Romney by like 20 there. Sanders likely still wins NoVA comfortably, but not by 30 points and likely with depressed turnout. I'm not sure if that would be a five point swing that would cause him to lose the state, but it's definitely a possibility.

I think Bernie might have picked up MI and/or WI, but he could have easily lost VA.

a) her inability to get people to vote for her in even close to the same numbers as obama (despite running on a platform of being his heir apparent)

I wonder if that had anything to do with rampant sexism or all of the bullshit corruption allegations she faced for being a normal politician

velocycloraptor posted...

b) her fail strategy of not campaigning in the states that were her downfall

She would have still lost if she had won in MI/WI. She campaigned extensively in PA and FL. This was a mistake but it wasn't why she lost.

velocycloraptor posted...

c) the fact that all of the information available showed she was significantly weaker than bernie in the general

i) As far as I remember the polls from near the end of the primary had both her and Bernie beating Trump comfortably with Bernie maybe winning by a point or two more
ii) As I'm sure has been pointed out to you many times (including likely by me), Bernie had not yet been attacked by the GOP and had only been lightly attacked by Clinton. He would not have maintained those numbers had he actually been the nominee.
iii) What did you expect her to do, drop out despite the fact that she beat Bernie handily in the primary?

velocycloraptor posted...

d) her pied piper strategy that elevated candidates like trump in the first place, when she likely would have been far stronger against someone like Jeb!

I highly doubt Trump would have lost the GOP nomination had Clinton acted any differently. In any case, I do agree that it was stupid to hope that Trump would win the GOP nomination.

How much impact can someone making near minimum wage have on the economy? And what amount of the money stays here vs getting sent to their home countries?

These are children of immigrants, not the immigrants themselves. They are, for all intents and purposes besides their legal status, Americans. They are not all working minimum wage jobs. They are most likely not sending money back to their "home countries" (and they likely consider their home country America).

Corrick you know when people are saying qualified here they're referring to a person's ability to competently perform the job, not their fulfillment of the official minimum requirements. This isn't the same as just not doing what we want in office. I would never, for example, say that Mitch McConnell is unqualified despite hating everything for which he stands. We're making a point about things like Trump's incompetence, his reckless temperament, and the fact that he prioritizes personal grievances over any sort of policy agenda and the wellbeing of the American people.

Skyward Sword was also really disappointing to me, but I might not have given it a fair shot. I stopped during the first temple because I couldn't stand the motion controls.

Final Fantasy III (DS) ended up being my least favorite game in the series, which was a bummer given that V is one of my favorite games.

Oh god. I pulled off Palace 1 in 1 day on my run, but I literally just pulled it off. As in, one more battle may well have been the end of me. I had completely exhausted my resources (okay I had the free DLC Soma but i was trying to do it without relying on such things)

The way I played it, IIRC, was I used everyone's SP rather equally for the first half of the dungeon, but by the second half when the strain started setting in, I reserved all my SP recovery items to Joker who did 95% of the offensive spell casting while the remaining team used what SP they had left to heal the team (usually after battle)

I guess if I had to do it again, I think I'd use that second half strategy from the beginning, or at least earlier. It's a pain though, so good luck.

So far the main problem has been the Incubi. Draining for 30 is pretty painful, and they can usually get it off a few times before I kill them. I can kill most other enemies before they get a chance to attack.
