Want to keep your seat next year? Vote for this or we run ads saying how you wanted to defund the Armed Services.

Or he could just let then vote on the guy that Biden approved and that they were in the process of voting on anyway. And since Tuberville literally only had the one bullet, it would put an end to Tubervilles little ploy.

...they're already going to run ads targeting him during his next campaign, that's a standard part of campaigning.

DBZ abridged is innacurate and makes a complete mockery of the series. They over exaggerate a lot especially Goku's alleged stupidity

Goku isn't allegedly dumb, he is dumb.

Thats fine, how about the fact they lied to you about this in prerelease material though?

I got my money back, what do I care? When the game was in a state I liked I bought it and had fun.

What are some of the recent awful republican policies that were blocked?

Recently? There was a 2019 fillibuster to block border wall funding, they fully stered twice to for changes to the Cares Act, blocked republican attempts to make sanctuary cities cooperate with federal officials, among many others.

Democrats use it so much Trump wanted McConnell to kill it because they were blocking him so much.

I just think it looks trashy, and I admit part of that is confirmation bias because every kid that wore pajama pants to school growing up was pretty trashy.

The people who didn't like the game when it came out. Why didn't you get a refund when you had the chance?

I did and bought it again last week and love it. It was fun back then, I just hated the crashes. I don't need NPCs to live out their daily lives independent of me to have fun with a game like some people do apparently

I've heard that he was a just above mediocre football coach, so he may not have much to say about that either.

He's an awful person but he was a pretty good coach. Got coach of the year in 04 when Auburn went undefeated.

And people only had to wait 3 years after procuring the initial product.

I bought the game last week

I hated that the game crashed a lot at launch on my original model PS4 and returned it, but I got it for PC last week and it's great fun. I don't really give a shit if NPCs don't have schedules and don't thank me for completing quests, the gameplay is fun and that's what I care about. Why would I care about a linear story, either? Who cares if the game railroads me along as long as it's fun?

Whether its literally the filibuster or not isnt my point. My point is the system being weaponised in a way that is nothing but obstructive and clearly not in the spirit of trying to help the nation.

People who do stuff like that need to face consequences. Lawyers who try to employ dodgy court room tactics get cautioned by the judge for doing so. I see no reason for that not to happen here. Filibustering needs to be countered with a get to the point or forfeit the floor.

Bro we also use filibusters as democrats to block awful republican policies

I think Makoto's confidant really suffers because shes completely right the entire time and eikos boyfriend was just scamming her.

i think it would have been a much more effective story if it turned out the boyfriend wasn't using her and Makoto had to learn the lesson that snap judgements are often wrong and because she never really gets to know anyone her view is often biased. THATS the lesson I would hope someone declaring they want to be a cop learns.

Yes. They likewise dont know any better because thats the only way theyve played them.

Mods arent a criticism. Bethesda being lazy because of mods is a criticism. I mean, there will be a bug at launch, modders will fix it in the first month, and then when they re-release the game as an Anniversary Edition in 10 years, Bethesda still wont have fixed that bug, because they know modders will for those who care, and for anyone who doesnt care, Bethesda doesnt feel they have to.

It really comes off as them having no QA whatsoever. Its less the bugs that bother people but that Bethesda makes no apparent effort to fix them. This has been going on as long as Ive been playing their games, and I started with Morrowind.

You're approaching this from the point of view that just because a game can be better with mods means it's not good, which isn't true.

And it's not ignorance to say an unmodded game is good without having played the modded version. People have other games to refer to. If someone plays Skyrim unmodded and says its fun or good they aren't lying, they're comparing their experience to other games they've played and deciding they enjoyed it.

Still love persona 5 to this day

5 vanilla >> royal imo

The quality of life improvements make royal way better for me. The story changes are meh, mostly because I don't think the story in most games is anything to right home about anyway.

PraetorXyn posted...

No. Im saying you only think vanilla is great because you have no basis for comparison since you havent played heavily modded. Its an entirely different game.

...he's played other games before you know.

masterpug53 posted...

Fair enough, then. I guess it was simply a case of misfortune that you made that post directly on the heels of the other guy who was making the same observation, with the distinction being that he was overtly asinine and combative about it.

Yeah I honestly don't care if someone thinks they suck or not, my sticking point is calling them overrated. More than half the people in this topic have voted that Bethesda is overrated and it's like they've lost all sense of what the word even means.

masterpug53 posted...

There, hopefully that clears up your confusion.

I wasn't even posting that in response to you lol, this entire page of responses wasn't even loaded on my phone when I wrote that

That point stands though, and it doesn't apply to you, it's just a general mocking of all the people that say Bethesda sucks (not you obviously) and sit there dumping hours and hours of their time into their games.

masterpug53 posted...

Sorry dude, but this doesn't make up for you posting the intellectual equivalent of 'yet you participate in society, curious!' My love for Skyrim and the thousands of hours I continue to log on it does not absolve it from being called out on its flaws, especially when said flaws persist to this day, breaking quests and popping the bubble on my much-valued immersion and enjoyment. Conversely, I am a frequent defender of what I feel Skyrim does right, often going to against the grain in doing so, particularly in my defense of the 'streamlined' leveling system.

You are right, the good does still outweigh the bad in Skyrim to the point where I still enjoy it overall, but you're also implying that I must remain silent on the bad because I've reached a certain time investment on the game. Am I no longer allowed to praise it either? If you want my opinion on a game where the bad clearly outweighs the good, then I can't give it, because I skipped the obvious trainwreck that was Fallout '76. On the other hand, Fallout 3 is an instance where the bad outweighs the good that I do have personal experience with, because it didn't really sink in for me just how broken an experience it was until I'd invested a few hundred hours into it; however, by your logic I guess I'm barred from critiquing that one as well.

Lol I think you're talking to the wrong guy considering you're quoting me stating that I'll happily call the games out for being buggy

masterpug53 posted...

This notion that the more time you invest in something, the less right you have to acknowledge its flaws despite your love for it is never remotely as good a point as people think it is. You really do have some of the most aggressively bad takes on this board.

I mean, I've got thousands of hours logged on Bethesda games and will happily say they're pretty buggy games. I just don't care because they don't ruin my experience and the games are fun despite that.

At the end of the day, a game can only be judged by how much enjoyment you get out of it, and most people rate (most) Bethesda games pretty highly because they're still enjoyable.

Okay, I found this as funny as the next guy, but could we please stop talking about this nothing burger now? Its making us look like a bunch of fucking children.

Vet

She's an elected official who fondled a man in public at a children's show despite being on of the loud voices screeching about how democrats are a danger to our children. This is not "nothing."

I can listen to one two aka songs on a playlist but more than that and I don't care for it.

"this game is so buggy, Bethesda sucks"

Run through? That's if they catch you fresh.

My fun thing about portals was them appearing when you were already on the way back from fighting something and needed to drop off loot or heal up. So now you have the sky turning red and Spider Daedra hanging around waiting to catch you sneaking.

Even with that though, dragons were worse. If the dragon couldn't find you it would go off and terrorize things nearby, sometimes triggering encounters you weren't ready for yet (or killing npcs).

The most annoying thing was fast traveling to a non-walled city like winterhold only for a dragon to be there flying a mile away and keeping you from completing any quests lol

People complaining about bethesda being overrated because of their bugs despite everyone and their dog pointing out they release buggy games really struggle to understand that sometimes a game can just be fun despite being buggy.

Roachmeat posted...

I prefer the random portals in Oblivion more than the dragons in Skyrim, but same.

Man I replayed Oblivion a little bit a few years ago, and I was outright shocked by how repetitive the portals ended up being. I remember loving them when I was a kid, they were so fun to just run through and get sweet gear.

Lol my least favorites in both series

I don't see how you can honestly believe they're overrated when any topic about them is going to be filled with people making fun of their bugs

As for why they get a "pass" for buggy games, it's mostly because the games are still fun despite them. When they're not, like in the case of Fallout 76, they get shit on.

Priere posted...

Why do people want some one off jobber like Geno over a half genie hero like Shantae?

This board is the only place I've ever even heard of shantae games, who the fuck is asking for that nobody character lol

I know I'm still in act 1 but it's shocking to me how many people romance Shadowheart considering her personality comes across as so awful. Hopefully she opens up a bit more as the game continues because I'm real close to benching her as healer and just grabbing Halsin for the role even if he's worse lol

Noname12 posted...

Its more shocking to me the usual crowd of Cyric and his ilk, are shocked theres police at games. As if they never seen how regularly chaotic and out of control they get

Theres a not-so-shocking amount of people here that post like they haven't interacted with society in meaningful ways in years. When I was playing high school football we even got police escorts into town for away games, as did the band, cheerleaders, and drill team. I would expect to see cops at pretty much any high school game, there's going to be hundreds of people there watching a very physical game played out with the potential for emotions to run high. Fuck the police but you're naive if you think they shouldn't be there.

Zonbei posted...

Snip

Fuck cops, but he's right. You said that even if there was evidence that the cops should be involved in the situation they would be wrong to be involved regardless.

I think you might have misspoke though?

maybe people living in the area wanted to sleep?

I live like a mile from a stadium and I can hear that shit

It was a Thursday night football game (I'm not sure about how bama runs things, but in Texas it's JV that plays Thursdays), it's probably not ending at a late enough time to make "people trying to sleep" a valid concern.

Cage has had so many good movies that are wildly different it's tough to say. I'm partial to recent movies like Mandy and Color Out of Space, but older stuff like Raising Arizona and Matchstick Men are just as great

They arrested him for "disorderly conduct" aka directing the band at a venue specifically intended for the band to play at.

I haven't got around to listening to smithereens yet, but I like Jojo for the most part. He's mostly a singles guy for me, though. I like to listen to albums front to back, and I just feel like there's a lot of filler and fluff on the full albums.

Slow dancing in the dark is still one of my favorites though,

Wtf is a character action game

If you say that shit you either got bullied too much or not enough, no in between

specialkid8 posted...

Nothing. It glorifies it in universe. It's really just up to the viewer to say "this isn't really an ideal society".

I think the movie does a lot to be anti-fascist without leaving it up to audience, like the propaganda pieces throughout it. Doing things like having your military propaganda include comedy scenes with children feels like a pretty blatant satire/critique. Then theres things like Rico's slow devolution from a kid that only joined up to gain citizenship to a hardcore soldier being caused by the fascist war machine, and it's strongly hinted that the asteroid that destroyed his home and family wasnt done by the bugs or was allowed by humanity to spark further war.

People still play wordle?

thronedfire2 posted...

ratings need to go back to the EGM scale

0 - terrible, almost unattainable
5 - average. buy it if you like it, don't buy it if you're unsure
10 - perfect, almost unattainable

I like the five star scale PlayStation magazine used. Plenty of games got 2.5 star scores, and it was really an average score where depending on your tastes a three star game could be great. I think when you restrict the scale to five stars or ten half stars it makes you be a lot more deliberate with what your rate something.

The other benefit of a five star system is it gets people out of the school grade mindset. People will see 6/10 or 7/10 and equate with a barely passing grade or a failing grade, but if you say something 3/5 it conjures the idea that it's a little above average.

So a stand up comic made up stories to entertain people

Name one that hasn't

And you are willing to sell your soul to do it on Twitter instead of something like this, which is just as fast and easy? Everything on it is also tweeted, but you can just as easily remove the tweets and do it through a private system for release on the news site itself.

Thank you for answering my opening question. You are ignorant.

Tom_Joad posted...

It's just as fast as Twitter. Because you can't release a Twitter post with a link to your story until there is a link to your story. And if there's a link to your story, that means it's *ALREADY* on the news site itself.

Which, if you allow the news site to send notifications, means you get notified of the story the moment it's on the news site. By definition, that's before it even makes it to Twitter.

Are you ignorant? Twitter breaking news typically doesn't include links because it's being broken and reported on ON Twitter.

I am a journalist. It takes much longer for me to draft a story, even if it's two lines, make sure I check all the boxes in our publication software, and push that to my editors for review prior to publishing on our website and preparing an email blast, than it does for me to type "BREAKING: X is happening as I type this" into Twitter.

Right but what happens after 20 hours?

Why would you be playing any game for 20 hours straight, much less F-Zero

ViewtifulJoe posted...

What are some good games with majority 7/10 scores?

Dragons Dogma got a bunch of scores in the 7 range. I remember it upsetting a lot of people at the time.

Kamil posted...

I might be biased because I spend too much time here but on duckduckgo or Google obviously video or some sponsored stuff takes the front occasionally there is a FAQ from gamefaqs leading the way on a older game.

It's definitely just a thing for older games that don't have fleshed out pages on fandom pages. Pretty much any new game, big and small, has a fandom page these days which is way more intuitive to use than gamefaqs.

The only time I'll get a gamefaqs search result these days is if there's a message board post that reads pretty much exactly like my search terms.

Then he should find a way to get them paid without undermining strikes and keeping those people from getting paid. Perhaps attempt to use any clout he has to help end the strike for the benefit of his writers.

Corporations love it when you try to work without striking workers. They hope it proves the workers are unneccessary. "I support the strikers, but other people still need to work" is the kind of sentiment that helps the anti-worker agenda of those in charge. They love the implication that everyone else was doing fine until somebody decided they were worth more than they were paid and brought the whole system to a halt.

He's going to be putting out a bad product that will both make sure his production staff gets paid and also highlight just how important writers are to the overall product. If anything, these awful talk shows with no writers are good for the strike because they give the network nothing (his show is on HBO so anyone watching has already paid) and strengthens the position of the writers because everyone and their mother recognizes how bad shows without writers are.
