If there's one thing that should be clear from Trump's reelection it's that there is no limit to what the Republican voters will support.

Anyone who was going to leave the Republicans has probably done so by now. All that's left are the MAGA true believers, single issue voters, the echo chamber dwellers who would be outraged if they were aware of news from the real world, and compartmentalists who block out all warning signs coming from their own side as no true ~~Scotsman~~ conservative supports that stuff and even if they did it's still better than the other side.

And of course, there's also the low information voters who don't know about any of this stuff and just want egg prices to go down or something.

“Everyone’s always furious that they’re not getting more TNG, whilst at the same time, when TNG came out, everybody hated it.“

Yeah, because season 1 TNG is terrible. It's honestly kind of surprising they made it to the good seasons at all, let alone becoming so successful that new iterations of the franchise are still being measured against them.

I doubt the guy who nominated him would do any better.

With the renewed interest from the show, it would make sense for Microsoft to get someone else working on a Fallout game since Bethesda isn't going to do it any time soon. However, I would think that Obsidian would be the more natural choice. I would guess that MS would prefer to utilize one of the studios they own rather than license it out, but I could be wrong about that.

And even if they did license out development on a Fallout game, I would assume that they would be in a hurry to get something out there, which would make Larian far less appealing to them. I agree that they would probably make an amazing Fallout game, but another studio would probably make a decent enough game that costs less to develop and pays off sooner.

I get that there was basically no chance that a sitting president was going to jail. But it's not like making him pay a fine would have caused a constitutional crisis.

About the only good thing I can say about this is that it's at least being honest about the complete lack of consequences.

I love how we can have all these demands for draconian budget cuts and at the same time talk about buying a country.
