This is it. Democrats will continue to talk about how they failed at execution so they don’t have to talk about the real problem: their platform. At least with Trump some folks think there’s a chance he shakes apart the whole system.

I voted for Harris, but I knew it was a lost cause from the moment she became the de facto nominee. She was a status quo candidate in a change election.

It’s the most evenly divided district in Oregon in partisan terms and she ran on a “bipartisan” theme. She’d be pretty hard-pressed to make her case.

The Republicans were absolutely inundating the district with the most vile stuff, like how she “voted in favor of rapists.” They dramatically outspent her campaign.

I’m really happy she won.

Are you me? Honestly, just finish it. You’ll forget all about the collectibles a week later. And if you don’t, you can always go back (you won’t).

Gonna try to finish my first-time play through of The Last of Us (PS5) today or tomorrow so I can start on Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Xbox). Excited to jump in after the decade since Inquisition.

That “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting and maybe Poland doesn’t want to yolo World War 3.

To make this a black and white issue is kinda weird when the severity of being wrong is so high. Just because Poland is being a considerate partner to other NATO member states doesn’t mean it’s required to act that way.

Well, they had a single case of attempted voter fraud, so now I guess it’s only fair we award Trump the presidency here and now. I believe those are the rules.

Because if Russia retaliates it means all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Kind of a big deal that you maybe don’t want to just decide on your own.

This is basically the last important game from Wii U not to make it to Switch, right?

Online gaming is a cesspit that everyone should either avoid or play with everyone perma-muted

Physical only for all systems, unless it’s a short indie game, in which case I’ll wait for a digital sale.

If Xbox and PlayStation ever try to force digital-only, I’ll probably wind down my game buying. I’ll definitely stop buying new games at full price and just wait for steep discounts for the digital versions. Meanwhile I’ll play through my unplayed physical games.

They built their own internal emulator

This is what Nintendo hardware engineers do to fill time when the Switch 2 is just a scaled-up Switch 1

“A The Lord of the Rings Game”

I’d love that, but that isn’t really the pattern with these remakes. They do them because they’re way cheaper than making a new game.

I’m not going to make a big deal about it but it would be nice if they remastered Blood Omen also

The Dreamcast was released almost exactly 25 years ago. That’s the difference between the end of Gerald Ford’s presidency (what would have been Nixon’s second term) to 9/11. So I don’t know what time warp you fell into.

In real time it’s been longer than it was from NES to Super NES. For the teenagers clearly doing most of the commenting on these Nintendo posts, they were in elementary or middle school at launch. Now they’re in college.

Buy Astro Bot

There was a multi-year animated series on Netflix just a few years ago, and evidently it must still do well given this announcement.

the publishers note that a live-action Carmen Sandiego movie is also in the works at Netflix

Yes, but it’s very unlike Nintendo to just do a hardware bump with similar form factor; the closest I can think of was DS to 3DS, and that added stereoscopic 3D. So I’d expect some kind of new feature to go with it.
