How long were they even off the list? Maybe a week? Fuck Biden and this performative bullshit.

100%, and it’s what makes me even more incensed that centrists are trying to point the blame at the tiny, miniscule leftist portion of the country that voted third party or sat out.

Even in the absolute best case scenario, Harris was going to have a contested election. She was never winning in a landslide, and Trump had already laid the foundation to contest the election. The currently corrupt Supreme Court was going to hand Trump the presidency 6-3 come hell or high water, the election just wasn’t ever going to matter.

Yeah, it’s annoying that we just gave the country to Trump, but nobody was ever going to fight for it. This fall to fascism was started decades ago. We’re just seeing the end result.

Some of us never even had a chance to fight back. This battle was lost before I was born. Bush v Gore was more than 24 years ago, I was barely a child. I wasn’t even alive for Reagan. What can I do now, 40 years too late?

I see we’ve hit the “it wasn’t that big a deal” part of the Narcissist’s Prayer.

Actually super agree, and surprised people aren’t as on board with this.

Why the fuck should anyone have to do Ogrila dailies in 2025 if they just want a cool item for transmog? What is the point of currencies that trade for other currencies? Does anyone really need to make going back through Warlords of Draenor any worse?

Blizz already has converted old currencies to gold in the past. Would it really hurt the old and forgotten content of Retail if it was made more accessible to new players?

If anything, the U.S. government is almost impressive. It’s so inefficient, it even collapses slower than it’s peers.

I think the issue is that most game’s core gameplay loops are not endlessly replayable. Lots of single player RPGs fall into the trap of being alright to progress through for maybe 20 hours, but you can quickly become so powerful that the rest of the game falls into busywork. It’s really hard to meaningfully introduce new and interesting gameplay after the 30 hour mark, but without it things become same-y.

I’d argue this is just a fault of poor game design though. There are RPGs with really well iterated gameplay loops, with a wide array of variety, that I’m happy to put 400+ hours in. Games like Baldur’s Gate 3, or Elden Ring, have a lot of freedom and variety in the way you can approach a playthrough, even allowing you to dramatically change things mid-playthrough, while still feeling mechanically satisfying to play. A 10/10 game will feel good to play forever, but a 7/10 might get boring after 15.

Yeah it kicks ass. This is like making a story out of Skyrim or Baldur’s Gate 3 or even Witcher 3 continuing to have players. People like playing really good single player RPGs. There aren’t that many of them.
