Oh, that’s me. Microsoft gave me backdoor access to your computer so I can play against you.

It feels like Rome in the 3rd century. Only thing we’re missing are people usurping the position of President and “[pretender] was murdered by his own troops”.

If HL3 ever comes out, it will be a looter shooter with a strange story. In the time skip between 2 and 3, the rebels and Combine sued for peace because it turns out the Combine really are here to help humanity somehow. And most of the game is spent assisting the Combine with invading the very evil Race X homeworld.

I specialize in finding obscure good games.

Alice’s World - Mix between Doki Doki Literature Club and an adventure game.

Astro Colony - Satisfactory in space.

Days Without Incident - Fun small game made by the same guys who made Nightmare House 2.

I also recommend keeping an eye on Fractured Blooms, The Oversight Bureau, Cycle of Struggle Ardengrad, and Advent Dawn. They’re only demos at the moment though.

And if it never comes back, they will need to find alternative means of acquiring food. Maybe their state decides to go “fuck it” and replaces SNAP outright despite what the feds say. Or maybe there’s a grassroots movement that creates a new SNAP.

The important thing is, the longer the shutdown goes on, the less people will depend on the Trump regime to satisfy their needs.

I personally stick to searching by specific tags to find the hidden good stuff.

I’m pretty sure a lot of people are going to starve when the just in time supply chain shuts down.

I would approve. The government shutdown was serving my interests.

Oh I think some in the US are delusional enough to think they can take the entire world.

When things are bad for the average person, the average person will tend to vote against the incumbent. So it’s not because they’re Republicans, but because they’re in charge when things are going bad.

The populace will swing back to voting Republican when the Dems are back in power. It’s the way of things, since things appear to be going bad for everyone, and this looks like it will be the case for awhile.

I like to believe that one’s 30s is old age.

A truly memorable story! I remember the tale of Jesus jumping down from the cross, jumpstarting his campaign to overthrow the Roman Empire. The greatest lesson to learn from Jesus is that mercy is a weakness.

(This is based off the “The Inquisitor” universe where Christianity is openly based off of cruelty against one’s enemies)

I can still see it. Weird.

The thing I replied to says, “That would only be true if most people couldn’t think for themselves and it was possible to spend money to influence their opinion”.

Don’t know. What got deleted?

Exactly.

If you’re not greedy, the billionaires won’t fund your campaign. Then you lose.

I wonder how that works in solid color states. If you vote third party in a solid blue state, does that mean a vote for red? Or is it actually a vote for blue if you ask for a red voter’s opinion on the matter?

Going off the theory that your vote is actually for the person a particular voter opposes, does that mean your protest vote is actually determined by the popular vote? For example, if you protest voted the 2024 election, does that mean you actually voted blue because red won the popular vote? Assuming that every color says the protest vote voted for their enemies.

Staunch third party voter reporting in. Voting for the big two feels like an obligation given to me by the powerful. Third party is vastly more exciting!
