That show holds up so well I swear to god

Ha I sent a letter to my representative about this a while ago and got back a reply that amounted to “thanks but we don’t care”
Yep! It’s real bad, I had to wait in a line around a building on a Tuesday morning the first election I voted in. One of the big things too is that there are fewer polling centers in the city, and usually more in the suburbs (proportional to the amount of people there).
So while you have a quarter of the eligible voting population in a city go to a single voting center, in the suburbs you have a much smaller group with a less crowded (& usually more convenient) polling area.
One odd holdover from TABOR (giant tax structure from the 90s that is still around in one way or another) is that any issue affecting taxes MUST BE PRINTED IN ALL CAPS FOR THE ENTIRE TEXT. It’s so funny to see
Since I moved from a red state to Colorado it’s been mind blowing how painless and accessible it is to vote in this state.
Before every election all registered voters automatically get a mail-in ballot, as well as a detailed book explaining every issue & candidate on the ballot with sample arguments for & against. You can then either mail the ballot or drop it off in very convenient drop boxes that are usually less than 10 min from your place. In some ways it’s difficult to not have at least some idea of the political landscape for most voters.
Yeah I definitely agree, one of the more interesting things about Oblivion to me is that different writers wrote all of the different guilds. The dark brotherhood is basically the only quest line in the game that gives you different choices of dialogue. Every other quest in the game has only one response, which looking back is pretty laughable as an RPG.
(Oblivion is one of my favorite nostalgia games and I listen to the soundtrack almost every day, it’s just fun to point out interesting things in it)
It’s funny cause for how well remembered this quest is, it’s one of the most bugged & easily broken quests in Oblivion. I recently played through and found that for some reason you can just straight up kill guests in front of the others and they react the same as if you were sneaking around
Yeah I grew up around that region and you’re absolutely right it’s halfway between suburban and rural. Everyone I know from the area that’s read the book says he comes across as a middle class person cosplaying as Appalachian poor.
One of my favorite games ever, the train ride scene near the beginning stuck with me
This is fantastic news for such a classic series, especially since the most accessible versions have just been the remakes with their different take on the games. If anyone wants to see a preview / review of the first two ports Suzi from TheSphereHunter on YouTube has already put out a video covering it.
I love this thread! I’ve been definitely shying away from AAA games towards Indies with lots of love. Here’s my contribution:
Venineth: One of the best entries in the niche “marble rolling” genre. You explore beautiful alien worlds, solving puzzles, and going very fast. Each world is incredibly unique, and has its own set of challenges to conquer. There is no dialogue and all text is in an alien language, which does an amazing job of immersing you into it’s landscapes https://store.steampowered.com/app/976500/Venineth/
Hypnospace Outlaw (Just above 3,000 reviews): Late 90s Internet simulator with a lot more to it than meets the eye. The game weaves a complex tale of people’s lives brought together by their community found on the Internet, and the havoc wreaked by a company in pursuit of profit above their users. The soundtrack is amazing, and I was genuinely surprised at how attached I got to the quirky Internet pages by the end. https://store.steampowered.com/app/844590/Hypnospace_Outlaw/
Going Under: A rogue-lite adventure about unpaid intern Jackie treading through her startup’s basement to fight the monsters of former companies. The game’s tone and humor is amazing, and the “corporate marketing” art style works so well. The gameplay incorporates a lot of Breath of the Wild elements such as weapon durability, locking onto a single enemy, and throwing weapons. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1154810/Going_Under/
Definitely recommend! It’s a fantastic game with a lot more to offer than I expected
Wow I just beat this game today, what a nice coincidence
Ah that’s a shame about Mother 3, I really loved it. Seeing the gradual decay of a town affected by tragedy after tragedy (& a heaping dose of capitalism) become a shadow of itself was so beautiful. The pacing of the game is a bit odd at times, but overall I was surprised how much it resonated with me.
I’m so tired of modern fantasy media intent on taking whimsy out of their worlds in order for me to “take them more seriously”. Give me goofy underworld TSA in Percy Jackson and not stereotypical underworld pls
Yes I agree CPA is proven to be more effective, but since its not available in the US spirits pretty much the only option. I agree its not the best and monotherapy is probably more viable, but there are very few options in the US especially with the affordability of spiro.
Again, there are things worth criticizing spiro for and its effectiveness - but that article puts out a decent amount of misinformation about the topic
That article claims that the standard starting prescription is 200mg spiro, but that’s not accurate. It’s 100mg, which in the article itself says that the effects from aren’t nearly as dangerous as what it says. Also dr. Will Powers is kind of a hack and has in the past threatened Trans Fem Science, a free website where trans people can source academic information, with legal action for publishing criticism about his methodologies.
Try the Submersed mod, it adds full motion controls!
Im working my way up to Xeno 3! But yeah I love Reyn, such a fun character
Gamergate essentially created and unified the modern alt-right as we see it today, it should absolutely be in consideration towards modern political discourse.
