It’s so easy for them to be like “well the US isn’t so great” because it makes them look like rogue truth tellers, but like, the closest thing we have to all that is Tony Hinchcliffe at the MSG rally and everyone hates him for it

Everyone else I know likes them, so I’m the defective one. But I refuse to admit it so GROW UP YOU KIDZ

Egg @patob.bsky.social · 1d

It’s very much a not for me that I’ll joke is for kids but is actually just not my taste at all

I do think you should grow out of Rage Against The Machine but that’s because of my particular brand of musical snobbery and not their politics

I’ve donated to Planter because one he jumped in first, two he is more closely aligned to my politics and three the gerontocracy is a problem, but let’s not just make up a fake bad candidate because we’d prefer someone else

I saw people say she’s not popular so she can’t beat Susan Collins, and while yeah, Paul LePage is a weak candidate, she still won by nearly 10 percentage points. Like boring people can be popular

Sorry, got a lot of misreadings on here recently

Egg @patob.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah I’m sick of it too, which is why I didn’t say it’s unprecedented

I mean he’s the governor of the state it’s in. He’s going to have power over even a private school like USC. That’s just how the office works

For as much shit as we give him, Newsom probably cut off any chance of USC taking it by basically threatening to make life impossible for them if they do

It isn’t establishment ratfuckery for the Dems to recruit a popular elected official to run for office.

Treat a single election as if it wasn’t the 2016 Democratic primary is the hardest challenge for so many people on this site

Admission time: I'd rather see the Trainor commercial than the Bateman one, and I even LIKE Jason Bateman. The color scheme in the Bateman commercial is so disgusting that it give me a headache

A peek behind the curtain: I originally said Skechers slip-ins before deciding loafers flowed better

I'd like to see a t-rex try and tie their own shoes. Can't even use velcro. You think they're just going to wear loafers everywhere?!

How do you explain the shoes then Marc? How do you explain the shoes?

Even the early Crash Bandicoot games had really impressive sequences for their time

Egg @patob.bsky.social · 2d

I guess I'm thinking fun in the Uncharted sense, where like the big set pieces aren't bludgeoning you with how fucked up everything is

One thing I’ll say for the last of us part 2 is that it’s story has gotten so much justified criticism that I think people ignore how good some of the actual gameplay sequences are. Very few companies do good set pieces like naughty dog, and they should make a FUN game to show that off
