This is why you implement good policy and don’t let polls at any given moment dictate politics

They better make a fucking TLOU3 not only because the story isn’t done but because TLOU HBO going beyond the games under Craig Mazin would make the later seasons of GOT look like a masterpiece

THE LAST OF US 2 is my favorite game of all-time (don’t get me started on the HBO show S2) but man I finally played RED DEAD 2 a few months ago and it’s such a masterpiece.

Just incredible levels of immersion and the NPCs feel so unbelievably real.

What a game.

Yeah they definitely improved on Tsushima in a big way. Still gets a little repetitive but it feels way more “I’m alive in this world and stumbling upon real things” than the first game.

I respect it because not every game should be for straight men only but still sad Judy was off the table 😭

Red Dead 2 is still the most immersive game I’ve ever played but Ghost of Yotei is definitely up there and very impressive

Like 90% of my GHOST OF YOTEI playthrough has been taking scenic pictures and hanging out with wolves and foxes lol

I’ll get to the Yotei Six eventually!!

This is sadly the average voter but I also do not think Vance has the juice (if we have fair elections) to win these types of people over. His vibes are bad.

It’s hard to tell what Trump actually believes and what he’s lying about but I think he genuinely believes cities like Portland are warzones right now because his brain is cooked and his aides show him nonstop AI slop and 2020 footage.

He seems to genuinely believe Portland is a wasteland because he keeps watching AI slop and 2020 footage lmao we’re cooked man

It’s cool how literally every single Republican including the president has Fox News Boomer Brain now

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

The American media and Democrats would be calling for military intervention if this story was about another country

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

They’d be live on stream already if they were a Republican but these bozos have no clue

A more reflective party would admit they were disastrously wrong and responsible for our moment by going all-in on Biden over Bernie in 2020

Joe Biden Was Always Doomed

The forces that brought him to the brink of contentment were always going to drive him deep into despair.

Crazy how the people who were smugly and disastrously wrong about Biden for years are smugly and disastrously wrong about fascism too.

It’s almost like these arrogant weasels have no skin in the game and think they’re the most rational, intellectual people alive.
