You think Trump will walk away with it?

Honestly, if it’s a close call Trump/SCOTUS and all their cronies will steal it anyway

I’m really torn on this because his debate performance really was shocking to me. But the incumbency is a point in his favor which is lost if he’s replaced. I’m going to stick with him but if something disruptive happens like a legitimate border crisis or the economy suddenly tanks - THAT’S when it would be imperative that he be replaced. If one or two of his other favorables disappear then the incumbency will start to become a noose.

It was a good(?) run

Good old pookleblinky - really sad I haven’t been able to follow them since I jumped ship at Twitter.

Control and punishment. Until it happens to them or someone they love, then it’s a worthwhile exception.

And none of them want to leave DC and go back to the bumfuck shittown they got elected from.

Trump and the fed jumped at every last opportunity to juice the economy from 2016-2020 and they’ll do it again if he gets elected again. He was really damn lucky he inherited a decent economy to do that with, and was followed up by a responsible administration to keep things in check. I could go on and on about this but in the end I’m really just hoping we come to our senses and elect leaders who are interested in keeping the ship steady instead of this chaotic feast/famine cycle we’ve been living through these past few decades.

AFAIK the fragments are the only level scaling in the DLC

60 is really the second soft cap so there is plenty to be gained from leveling up to that point. After that it certainly matters less though.

And unless I’m misunderstanding you, the enemies in Elden Ring do not scale by your level so that wouldn’t play into the calculus at all.

Huh well I was going to read about French history but now I’m more curious about this

I’ve got 50 vigor and haven’t been one-shot by anything yet. Can’t say for sure about fragements ‘mostly’ locked behind bosses but I was quickly +4 just from wandering around the first map area. IMO they shouldn’t quote salty complaints like Flippikus’ because it waters down the real problems Fromsoft has and always had had porting their games to PC.

I love all their games and am a pretty big fanboy but also love PC gaming and it’s clear From is a console company. I think they’d just release on Playstation if it were up to them. But if they’re not going to resist the siren call of the PC money, they really should hire a team that knows what they’re doing. I know there’s some stereotypes that there aren’t great Japanese Windows devs - really don’t know if that’s true but even if it is, From is a AAA company with AAA sales and can afford proper devs for PC releases.

Yeah I stopped about 15 seconds in because it seemed to be showing multiple boss characters.

Hey that is a fantastic shot. Do you sell prints?

What a real Steve

As someone who gets to go to the skin doc every year for skin cancer checks - absolutely wear sunscreen.

That’s where I started and still really enjoyed it a lot. Definitely a character here or there that they assumed I knew but for the most part it all made sense.

If they have some situations where LLM/Siri runs on device that would certainly do it!

Me too, and this is the first one I’ve seen

No wonder either, there are strangely few games meant just for the new system, and it’s been out for several years.
