Actually, I agree. I think a healthy Reggie Jackson puts them in that eastern conference middle class. Unfortunately, I think the pistons hands will be pretty tied this off season. No cap space, and all of our tradeable guys are guys I don't envision us getting fair value for. But yeah, we could see be very good, assuming health, next year. I still have faith in Stanley. If that dude learns to shoot, he will be a monster.

I suppose that I should also mention that Trump publically endorsed executing drug dealers. Don't think a lot of nuanced policy discussion is needed with that one.

I guess I should mention that he explicitly blames drug dealers for killing thousands of people, but is of course, not going to blame gun manufacturers for gun deaths.

Dear God I am so excited for the western conference playoffs.

Trump just described his electoral victory for 10 minutes. Said his victory was one of the most watched nights in television history off.

Also said ITS MUCH HARDER TO WIN THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE THAN THE POOULAR VOTE.

Also said "Remember 270?".

His praise for saccone is that he's a good guy (He then asked if that means anything) and said he's a hard worker. Lol. He also told rick that the pressure is on because he won by 20.

@TheRock1525 doing good buddy! Outside of days the pistons play.

Trump just said the Mexican president asked him to make a statement saying Mexico will not pay the wall. He said THERES NO WAY HE COULD DO THAT.

As he has pushed congress to put American dollars towards the wall.

SIGH.

Trump on how the tax bill passed.

"They were calling it Tax reform, and I said, "people don't know what reform means, I don't know what it means, call it tax cuts".

That was his shining moment. Also claimed no one has been able to pass any tax bills since Reagan, completely skipping over Bush. I mean, not that we expect his facts to be accurate in these rallies, but HEY.

@Jakyl25 Yes, some sort of physical contact must occur. No edgy standing near the ring and magically making them lose.

Trump rally ended up on in the background. I mean, I read excerpts sometimes, but watching it live is pretty insane. I don't understand how people who go this are entertained by it. About half of it is complaining about his media coverage (queue him saying he doesn't have time to watch TV LOL).

Also, from a political perspective, he briefly brought up Saccone at the start but hasn't mentioned voting on Tuesday since (25 minutes in at least).

While I'm at that topic, lol at the RNC having to spend so much time and money on this race, when the district will not even exist soon. I actually understand the logic of it, they don't want more guys tempted to retire after an embarrassing loss, but man. Unless saccone wins by maybe 5+ points, this is pretty much a loss for republicans no matter what happens..

Yeah I think weve talked about that before

You have to believe other groups are a threat to be a Trumpian conservative, and thats hard to do if you actually encounter people from those groups in your daily life

Which is why they report on an undocumented immigrants crime like it's big news on Fox, over the horrible stuff that any average legal citizen does on the daily.

This subject reminded me of this article, one of the best I've ever read, and one that has stuck with me.

http://wapo.st/2FwRORz

They don't consider themselves Nazis (though obviously they have some despicable beliefs), and obviously the kid who is highlighted was reasoned with, so I'm not sure if it really fits with this perfectly, but seriously, read it!

I do think the article subtly highlights why cities tend to be liberal. I think it's tough to have certain mindsets of the Republican party when you are actually exposed to a diverse set of people and see how they are impacted by certain policies and systems in place.

Feels like they are gearing up for a solid 6-10 season. They still have to draft a qb though, so the move feels totally pointless. They might as well have gone for one of the better FA qbs and drafted two non qbs in the 1st round.

Just wanted to share a few things that make me feel really manly. There is nothing better than being a man, and if you ever want to feel good, I hope this list can help.

1. When I go to get my haircut and I'm surrounded by pics of babes, cars, and sports. HELL YEAH!!
2. When a buddy gets drunk and passes out, so I draw a wang on his face. Lmao. That'll show him!
3. Watching porn, but not the gay kind!!!
4. Going to planet fitness, lifting some serious weights, dropping the **** out of them, set off the lunk alarm, AND THEN GET ARRESTED WHEN THEY TRY TO KICK ME OUT! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A NO JUDGEMENT ZONE!!!
5. Call up my mom, AND TELL HER TO MAKE ME A SANDWICH! LOL
6. Jump on some COD, and call everyone on my team a bunch of nerds. PWNED!
7. Vote in Vlado's Babe Brawl. Nice babes bro!

Please feel free to add your own.

So is this like the "now playing" topic? If so that is RAD. I got a switch recently, so I've been playing that a lot lately.

Switch
Axiom Verge
-I just got this. I know it's been out for a while, but the Switch seemed like the perfect place to try it. Seems like a solid metroidvania game so far. Not far enough to over any super deep thoughts, but it plays well, and I definitely see how it is highly rated.

Bayonetta 2
-Just finished Bayonetta 1 (see below). I think it's cool so far, but I mostly play it in short bursts. Same solid action as the first game, but it seems like they've thrown in more varied action sequences right off the bat, which I like.

Dragon Quest Builders
-I'm still in Chapter 1, and admittedly losing steam. I never liked Minecraft, just not my style, but I enjoyed the demo for this. As I acquire more and more crap, I think it is just starting to feel like a little too much. The actual fighting is pretty bad so far too, and I'm not a huge fan of the concept. I usually really like light city building elements in JRPGs (like what Ni No Kuni 2 is going to do), but I just don't think it is enough to sustain me. I think the concept is cool, and the crafting and all that seems pretty well designed, but this is definitely my own fault for letting myself think I would like it. Going to try and keep going, but I kinda see myself putting it down for good soon.

Xbox

Kingdom Come Deliverance
-I'm not totally addicted to this game like I normally would be when a skyrim or a fallout come out. I think the main reason is that it is such a pain in the ass to save, I don't like to play unless I know I have a solid hour or two to go at it uninterrupted. But honestly, even though I never feel this strong desire to go play it, everytime I do, I get pretty into it. The story and world are fantastic. Exploring is fun, and all the main and side quests are well designed. Combat is really unique in that it is kind of rare to fight people, and there is certainly a lot more intensity and thought needed while in a fight.

There are things that annoy me, like how long sleeping and "fast traveling" can take. Lockpicking and pickpocketing are so tough and risky, that I've mostly kept to a straight and narrow path, which means I can't afford much. There are tons of pieces of equipment, and you need a good maintenance stat to be able to repair everything, so it seems like I'm almost always wearing at least a few items that have no durability left. And obviously, there are lots of glitches. The game isn't always beautiful on the Xbox One S either... but I just like it. The things they set out to do well, they do actually do very well. And I honestly didn't expect such good voice acting, characters, and story. Solid quest variety too. If you like these kind of games, I think it is definitely worth it. I imagine waiting for summer when there are some good deals and more patches would be ideal though if you weren't eager enough for it to buy it already.

Recently Completed

Owlboy
-Man, what a lovely game. Just well done in every aspect, and the owl mechanics make it unlike anything else I've played. Definitely one of the best things I've played on the switch so far.

Bayonetta 1
-Never played it before this. Enjoyed it in spurts. Great action, fun characters, but I did eventually start to skip cutscenes, which I don't think I've ever done with a game before. Way too many, too long, and I just did not care about the story at all. But yeah, definitely a solid series.

Well, when I ran that one, we had some bonus questions on the side too. Also, I usually weighted the matches based on predictability. OK I guess I'll have to do it. Damn you Jakyl.

Been reading a lot on the NK meeting this morning and last night. Really complicated issue.

http://wapo.st/2FFYf7Y

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/09/opinion/trump-kim-summit-korea.html

"Finally, everyone should be aware that this dramatic act of diplomacy by these two unusual leaders, who love flair and drama, may also take us closer to war. Failed negotiations at the summit level leave all parties with no other recourse for diplomacy. In which case, as Mr. Trump has said, we really will have run out of road on North Korea."

That is probably the scariest line of all. I think talking to North Korea makes sense, doing it at the highest levels right away seems incredibly risky though, as if this fails, there will not be any real recourse. Also, obviously, Trump is a terrible person to be a lead diplomat here.

---

I call girls "girlies".

I didn't really enjoy it. The setting is incredibly dull (every place you go is pretty much an icy cave or snowy plain). Combat was OK, but certain fights near the end almost require very specific move combinations, which really annoyed me.

I actually didn't mind the story and characters, that was probably the only reason I got as far as I did. But once I got near the final dungeon, it was clear I would have to do a lot of aimless exploring and some grinding to finish, so I put it down.
