This is nowhere near guaranteed yet. But also even if it does come to pass you can be 100% sure it will get much worse
Dang, it's actually closer then I thought. Harris is 20 points behind Trump.

Also looking back to 2016, Harris is doing better than Hillary. But not Nearly as good as what Biden did in 2020. Hillary just got 227 and Harris is currently at 210 right now

As someone who loves outside US it really doesn't matter who gets elected in US because there will always be some part of the world that will get f-ed to keep machine going. And in general i see entire US political system as one of the stupidest in the world. US cheers for democracy while having basically 2 choices that each wish that other one doesn't exist and both are just telling people what they think people want to hear while in reality they are doing very little for those people and for the most part are just stuffing their pockets with the money.

But in general that is basically 99.9 politicians these days. None of them care about citizens, they just want to sit in the chair and make their and their families lifes good.

Italy
Here in Italy we have to deal with a government that is trying non-stop to rewrite history and say that fascists were actually good people that were swindled by the evil nazis and were a bunch of "old musicians killed by psycho partisans", and they're doing all this by appearing non-stop on public television 24/7 (which is why most are calling public television "TeleMeloni" today) so forgive me for not being fully behind american politics, but let me tell you this
If voters that, for all intent and purpose, should vote left/democrat/whatever the non-right is called (because voting right goes actively against their interests), are instead voting Trump, maybe, just maybe, democrats should take long hard look at what they're saying and most of all not saying and, I don't know, at least try to reach them? Try to tell them what they want to hear?
The italian "left" has the same issue and most left leaning voters don't even bother getting out of their beds during elections, and so the right keeps winning. But how can I blame them if the opposition sucks so much? When you look at your politicians and feel no matter who wins no actual problem gets solved then at this point you might as well hope a meteorite strikes the parliament hoping the next generation is a bit better

Nice! But region-restricted to many. :crying-face:
I'm guessing this is the same split as one the appstore. It's really bizarre though, there are different publishers even within the EU o_O
Honestly though when it comes to service-games I'd always prefer the self-published version if there is one. The Steam version is available in my country but I'd still download the standalone version anyway.
You never know what happens in the future with the publishing agreement, just look at what's happening to the CN version of GFL1 right now (has to EoS for an unknown amount of time cause the publisher didn't want to renew the contract).

Yeah I agree. The self-publishing one is the safest. I will probably play that one as well. Steam features would be nice to have though.

Seems like that here too, not that I agree with blaming most commonly brief left-leaning governments for not solving decades long problems creating a utopia but that's how people react and then never elect them again since the right side manages to assemble their supporters with all the usual fake promises and condemnation of everything but their own actions for how things are somehow always worse (but hyped as better) even if they've been in power for ages...

Entire point of modern politicians is not to solve problems. It's to dangle carrot on the stick in front of the voters by promising to solve them and then finding excuses why they didn't solve them so they can get elected again. And cycle goes one and on...

We get what we deserve.

Anyway, Wizardry Variants Daphne is pretty good. It's somehow not actually a Gacha RPG, despite having a gacha and being an RPG.

I just realized that because I subscribe to Netflix I can play Shovel Knight Pocket dungeon for "free". One game I can cross of the wishlist.

Who knew running the person who got destroyed in the Dem primary in 2020 was a bad idea.
Not having a real competitive primary earlier this year was the biggest mistake. Biden should have dropped out a year ago.

Instead the party/president hand picked a candidate and gave her 100 days to run a campaign.

This result was the American people punishing the democratic party for trying to bypass and skip the democratic process.

You are exactly right. The messaging from democrats has been that the economy is doing great. And it IS doing great. Inflation is back down, we avoided a recession, and prices are normalizing. But what people heard was dismissal and gaslighting of their concerns about skyrocketing housing prices, food, insurance, etc. Throw the identity politics and culture war stuff in there, fuel it with immigration BS, and democrats apparently had no chance. Exit polls are showing that a lot of Trump voters want to blow everything up, because what's in place now isn't working. Seeing how urban voters and minorities turned out for Trump is unreal. Harris never had a chance.
It's weird, but it's really good to hear from someone in another country dealing with the exact same bullshit. Electorates are just terminally stupid, and it doesn't seem like it can be fixed. I don't get how the right wing across so many countries and parties has managed to harness vibes to such a degree, while more liberal parties are just constantly floundering. Why can nobody but the right wing seem to do this?

Don't sleep on the other games they have in there. Some great indies.

PS5 Pro seems like a rather underwhelming machine. I can spend 500 bucks for the 9800X3D and have a PC that will shit on the PS5Pro for years to come.

I broke my freaking G502 mice by dropping a bunch of cold coffee all over it and the mousepad and chair. It just went straight into the mouse wheel, while it was on. It's still kinda working, but when I scroll it doesn't do it flawlessly anymore. The clicking also seemed to stop for a moment while I tried it. I don't think I can use it like that. I have the most cursed luck when it comes to mice. I'm going to have to use this shitty spare chinese wireless mouse I have as backup.
