And also the book was poorly written to begin with. Which is how they've been able to do that and get away with it.

Most of Europe seems to be doing a fine job of avoiding most of the problems that capitalism is causing in the US. Every institution, if left unchecked, will expand to fill every unoccupied space and gradually erode everything else that's too weak to defend itself. Whether it's the church, the...

This is past the point where a swift trial, conviction, and execution is prudent. This is the kind of scenario where you'd want to lock him up and interrogate him for years about what other dark secrets he might be keeping. I only regret that we've discovered that torture is ineffective at...

The Constitution guarantees a right to a speedy trial. Shame we can't find a judge who'll interpret that as saying it should be guaranteed even when the defendant is the one trying to prevent it.

Well, maybe the Forward Party will gain enough traction to lure the ship-jumpers in so they won't do that.

So, now that I've seen the whole game... anyone else feel like it was weirdly similar to WALL-E? Starts out as an unconventional story, told without dialog, about a small creature alone in an abandoned world, sticks with that premise just long enough that you start to feel like it could actually...

Does this future also contain people capable of remembering who she is by then? Because the shift back to sanity isn't going to be fast.

I dunno, "preview demos" like the kind you'd see at conventions being made available to the general public seems to have become a lot more common since COVID killed the convention scene. But that's mostly for indie games. Unsurprising, since indie games are more desperate for attention they...

Yeah, well, better get on the ball inventing a better battery then. Like you should have been doing for the past few decades now.

Good luck with that when it's already cost her the nomination for her own incumbent seat in Congress. Seriously, how often do incumbents get primaried out? Almost never. But going against the MAGA grain made it happen.

In all likelihood Al has had a pretty mundane life aside from the part about being one of the funniest songwriters of all time, which we already knew. If a famous entertainer has a life that's anywhere near as eventful as their career in entertainment, at least 9 times out of 10 it's not for...

I can relate. I unfollowed Tony Goldmark specifically because of his habit of responding to his nastier critics in the form of retweets rather than keep it in the reply threads where only the truly dedicated would ever see it. There are exactly two reasons I can think of why somebody would do...

It changes one big thing: If it is some major foreign power like Russia, there's pretty much jive-all we can do about whatever they're plotting to do. But people inside the US are under the jurisdiction of the DOJ and the FBI. They would be able to follow the chain of suspects as far as it might...

...Something just hit me. We've been talking about this as if foreign governments are the only ones who could get any use out of the intel he had. But Trump has other allies who wouldn't hesitate to use force against the US. Ones who live and operate within our own borders. The same kind of...

Also, Biden can say whatever he wants but it doesn't mean jive if he's not backing it up with action. Pissing off his enemies is not going to magically make them disappear, or fail to show up at the polls, or really accomplish anything. And as for his own voters, the same people who say he's...

I mean, they let Trump hire them even though everyone else knows by now that he won't actually pay them. That means either they're extremely dumb, or they have connections with the kind of goons who can make his death at their hands look like an accident even though he's a major public figure...

So that's two now, unless there are more that I missed. At exact opposite ends of the country, funnily enough, which makes it easy to remember at least.

Wait, Alaska has ranked-choice ballots? Since when? How did I miss that?

You might as well ask how games in general explain your ability to rewind time to before you died. Most don't. In Enter the Gungeon, you're trapped in a place where the usual rules of space and time no longer apply as a result of the chaos energy released when the Great Bullet crashed into it...

There are two reasons I can think of for why he might have intended to purposely hand those documents over to enemy states—particularly those he doesn't even like. One is that he planned it to be a "set the place on fire on his way out" kind of move after running out of options for staying in...
