Fuck, which states?

California and Idaho. Might be more states involved, but I know those two states had elections, as I voted early in the Idaho Democrat primary last month.

I'm assuming a fascist, nutjob Republican won in that heavily red district to fill Kevin McCarthy's seat.

I sometimes wonder in the near future. When Climate Change gets much worse. If there's going to be mass migration of Americans heading to areas of the country that still get decent weather. Like the Pacific Northwest where I live. Where in the spring time, we're still getting cool temps with rain here and there. While large parts of the country are already enduring heat waves and droughts this early in the year.

Dems needs to either executive action or pass laws (the next time they have a trifecta) that squarely combats corporate greedflation. Because we can't count on the American populace to figure out the complexities of how the economy works. Democrats have to literally lower food, gas, housing, etc prices on their own with as many regulations put in place on corporations for the public to notice, and yet there's a possibility they might stupidly give Republicans credit for it instead.

Seriously, if a US president wanted a target killed and got his way. Seal team six would've gotten the job done. There would be no failure from them. So this conspiracy from Trump is so fucking stupid, it makes my head hurt.

It goes to show how enormously high the stakes are this election. On top of democracy on the line. People's lives are on line. I truly believe Trump will imprison (or worse as implied by Trump's projection in the OP) any and all his perceived rivals. There will be a ton of innocent people facing dire consequences from Trump being elected president, and Project2025 coming to fruition. It will be a scary future.

Superbabies 3: The Wrath of Diaper Don

Trump's running the biggest loser campaign ever. It's too bad 30-40% of the country is of a mix of stupid, deplorable, or both. In a normal country, he'd lose every single state in the presidential election.

Poker is like roughly 80% luck, 20% skill. Sure, being skilled in poker can get you consistently a little far into tournaments, but there's also plenty of other skilled poker players out there and you really need to be lucky to get enough good hands to win tournaments.

Just give me the 30 grand.

Time to build up a command center and refinery, so the SCVs can mine it.

Al Bundy is able to afford a 2 story home while being able to support his wife, 2 kids, and dog.

And he barely makes money as a shoe salesman. Which is long running joke of the series that Al's job sucks.

Realistically, the Bundy's shouldn't be able to afford a nice home like that in 2024 Florida. They must've won the lottery or got a nice inheritance, in order to move and get that house.

Biden needs to tell Trump to STFU, be a man, and just show up to the debates without all the childish bullshit, (or, just don't show up at all, and prove to everyone what a total coward he really is).
Biden shouldn't concede one. single. thing. to this fucking clown.

Absolutely agreed.

Steffenfield posted...

He's setting up for an excuse not to debate.

His best chance to get back in the white house is not to speak.

Biden needs to go on the offensive and call Trump a coward, if Trump tries to weasel out of doing them with more lies and bullshit excuses.

Probably a pointless question, but isn't Buck supposed to be dead and reincarnated as a different dog if this takes place after the show?

Yep. I'm guessing the show's will explain that Buck died again and was reincarnated into a similar breed of dog Buck used to be.

A June and a September date is good spacing and allows for him to get his opinions out earlier.

Also gives Biden enough time to goad Trump's ego into doing the 2nd debate. As I'm sure right after the first debate, Trump is going to immediately back out of doing the next one. Whining about how unfair the moderator is to him, and that he needs his MAGA audience in attendance, etc.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/475babd5.jpg

Hahahaha

I'm surprised Trump didn't make one request before agreeing to do them, and that's to do these debates in the morning time. Where he seems to do better in and his dementia is less noticable, as doctors/medical experts I've listened too have pointed out this year.

tremain07 posted...

He's refusing regular debates because he remembers 2020 and 2016 where the regular debates were just a shitshow for Trump to break rules, rile up the crowds and news networks to completely ignore any actual policy discussing in favor of allowing Trump to turn the whole thing into a circus, remember the primary debates this year?, that nonsense happened because all those ass kissers were trying to be Trump. The way Biden is playing this is cutting Trump off from any allies in order to force him to sit there like the fool he is as Biden talks actual policy and plans for the country.

Sadly I think he will fail, I think our shit show addict news media will absolutely throw a massive temper tantrum over this and demand the circus act for their ads and ratings. They want Trump to have a crowd of lunatics to jeer and cheer, they want Trump to fight with the moderator, break rules, talk over Biden and just take that shit over and then once it's all said and done pretend whatever word salad he vomits up gives him a "Win" just like back in 2016 Trump got the win in a debate just because he managed to say "Then you would be in jail" to Hilary Clinton as the audience jeered and cheered because Clinton was severely disliked at that point due to being Hilary Clinton, the investigation and of course the pissed off progressives mad that Bernie got screwed over by her and other corporate democrats screwing him behind the scenes.

So very smart of him to accept the debate under these terms and very stupid of Trump to accept the debate under these terms, but Trump being Trump he'll likely bitch out after someone explains to him that he won't be able to run rampant like he did in 16 and 20 with no checks here.

Oh okay. That makes sense.

Because nothing can top Starcraft Remastered. SC1 is over a quarter century old and is as popular as ever.

Agreed. That game still kicks ass.

Honestly, I don't really like what I've seen of that one.

Isn't that one, StormGate, still in the open beta testing phase? I'm sure they'll get the balancing issues fixed over time, and last I heard we only have 2 races and Tier 3 buildings & units to play with.

specialkid8 posted...

You realize most of the old games were open ended, right? They're basically open world on a small scale. If these rumors are true, it's just gonna be a huge map like those.

Yeah your right. A lot of them had exploration. I meant kinda like you said, not completely open world/exploring a huge sandbox type game.

Still pisses me off how EA killed the series. First they release Tiberian Twilight, a MOBA-style entry that nobody asked for, then they made Generals 2 free to play. Now all that remains of the series are some Clash of Clans-style mobile games.

They've killed/harmed plenty of my favorite franchises and studios. EA can go to hell.

I grew up on several RTS games in the late nineties. Dune 2000, several Command & Conquer games, StarCraft 1, Warcraft 3, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Age of Empire 2, etc. It's sad the state of RTS nowadays. I never got really good at this genre, nor do I play competitively like some players do, but I always revisited the genre and look for new RTS games now and then. I just find building up your base and army, and coming up with a strategy to attack the enemy's base while defending your own in campaign mode to be pretty fun.

StarCraft 2 is better than it has ever been for watching pro play (I highly recommend the caster WinterStarcraft) but I dont actually play it myself anymore. Not sure how healthy the casual player base is these days.

I don't know why. I find watching competitive StarCraft 1 matches on ArtosisCasts more enjoyable than StarCraft 2 lately. It might be because it's my first love and I like the old RTS, but I'll check out Winter StarCraft sometime.

In trying to find info about the C&C game I read about (was it literally just a dream?), I did find they are making a spiritual successor called Tempest Rising that got favorable reviews during play testing.

Neat. I'll have to put that game on my radar, along with StormGate.

Why is Biden refusing to do the regular debates?

I don't understand either. He should be willing to do as many as needed, at least 3 or 4 debates. They are only going to hurt Trump and help Biden among the uninformed and undecided voters.

Resident Evil 9: Far Cry

I think the mainline series is about due for a clunker. Where after the bad reception, Capcom realizes they need to go back to the franchise's linear survival horror roots and not try anything like open world again for the time being.

But then again, open world survival horror could work. It did with Evil Within 2. Though I'm not that enthused with the concept.

I wish the main cast, especially Leon and Chris, would just go away or die from a bioweapon. Also does every mainline have to take place the same year the game's release? Is that really necessary? I'd be fine if all 9 to 10 mainline games so far took place over a handful or so years in total.

This is why I don't care to follow pro sports players outside their sport and what they have to say. It'd only make me more depressed and lose faith in humanity to listen to these imbeciles with their stupid ass opinions.

I want Barry as a playable character you can choose as to start a new game. Also his game and RE1 story should be drastically different from Chris & Jill's to allow for some nice surprises for old RE veterans playing the ReRemake.

Otherwise I'm not all that enthused for another remake of Resident Evil 1. The first Remake was already pretty good, regardless of the old fixed camera/tank style of gameplay.

That's about all the Mariners got going these days with these various gimmicks they do throughout the season. Their ballpark has become more of a tourist attraction in recent years with just the casuals and road team fans showing up.

He has to go to jail sometime this week. Trump clearly once again is violating the gag order. Even the former prosecutor I follow said previously if Trump violates the gag order again and no jail time comes out of it, then "the rule of law is dead in this country."

Well I hope they give in and hand Trump a billion. Just so they can watch that money go up in flames in November when Biden gets re-elected.

And yet still no Dragonlance film smdh

Yeah that's a shame. All we got was a terrible animated adaptation of the first book.

LeCh0nk posted...

I think you know the answer to that...

Yes I do sadly.

How about a different medieval fantasy franchise instead? Surely there must plenty of other great books out there that are worthy of an adaptation. Better yet, an original movie series not based on anything (that'll definitely never happen though).

I might be in the minority, but I don't place Tolkien's Hobbit/LOTR franchise up there on a high pedestal. They're good books no doubt, and greatly influence the medieval fantasy genre, but they're not the greatest and there's plenty of other good stuff out there that are waiting to be adapted. And we've already had plenty of Tolkien adaptions throughout the decades.

This is part of the reason why I haven't cared much about these trials. He was never going to prison for any of this. Just takes one MAGA judge or juror to prevent justice from happening, and even the non-MAGAs are too scared to do more than slaps on the wrist.

This is probably why Trump keeps falling asleep in court too. He knows the end result

Yeah same. I've pretty much come to accept years ago he's going to probably get away with all his many crimes. I'm still hopeful for the future that we can make Trump the last person in this country to get away with this much, as long as Dems continue to win the presidency and most federal/state seats. Eventually the courts will be fixed over time.

You know what would be a good game to have Trump as the protagonist in? Portal 1.

Trump wouldn't be able to escape Aperture Science due to being too slow and unathletic to jump through portals fast enough to reach some of the exits. The place would soon become his prison and personal hell. He'd be the only human there with no one to talk to, except the AI running the facility, whose a psychopath who'll constantly taunt and be mean to Trump. It would be a fitting punishment for him.

It should be the same as inciting an insurrection or giving aide to the enemy, or simply being old enough to run for office. If you attack democratic institutions with intent to harm the electoral process. You should be disqualified from running for a political office ever again.

A commander of the Brotherhood of Nod in Command & Conquer 1. Instead of using the money you make using harvesters to collect Tiberium to build up your base and army. Trump pockets all the money for himself, and deflects blame when the opposing army wipes out his unit.

Unfortunately for Trump, the leader of the Brotherhood Kane doesn't tolerate failure and will execute his underlings. So I expect Trump wouldn't last long.
