Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

Oh cool! A search engine that'll give you fake URL's!

Don't let them fool you. They'll do this stuff at launch, then add in EA Anticheat, or the EA App 6 weeks later as part of an update and break everything.

Yeah I'm not going to hold my breath. They might just add the EA app back in after an update.

Cuphead is a banger if you like that kinda music.

Nier Automata as well. Very different, but hauntingly brilliant.

Also, fallout radio if you're feeling that real classic sound.

So the curse continues.

I've had a vr2 headset for a while now and I have only used it sparingly on Gran Turismo 7. I'm curious to see how this'll work on all the PC sim racing games available, but imma hold till reviews since it's gonna be missing features, and require an adapter. I'm worried it'll have degraded image quality on PC.

They aren't about to back down now that Biden has stepped down. If anything, I expect them to get more desperate and dangerous as we get closer to the election. I totally expect significantly more misinformation, deep fakes, fake news websites, all designed to split democratic support for Kamala Harris, encourage people not to vote, and double down on Trump praise.

Best thing anyone can do is tune it all out and just vote. Don't get too caught up in the politics, because you know your mind is already made up. Do your civic duty, and don't feed the trolls.

I also fully expect them to say this election was stolen if they lose, and attempt to usurp power by any means. So just be ready for that too, it'll be a lot different than last time since they aren't in power.

Though they wanted a helicopter to fly him out, helicopters can't generate enough lift to fly in the heat-thinned air over the hottest parts of Death Valley, officials said. So park rangers summoned an ambulance that took him to higher ground, where it was a cooler 109 degrees and he could then be flown out.

TIL.

Of course they want people to consider it a coup. They want that word to mean nothing

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
