As far as reasons not to vote for him go, there are plenty more important ones. But it seems to be a thing.

It was heavily talked about for as long as the news cycle could bear it, after Kinzinger made a particularly memorable description: like a combination "of armpits, ketchup and butt."

Kathy Griffin said she has experience from The Apprentice and he smells "really bad": https://www.newsweek.com/cnn-adam-kinzinger-donald-trump-odor-x-twitter-1853353

MSNBC's Alex Wagner says he smells like "cooking oil." https://www.newsweek.com/alex-wagner-donald-trump-smells-cooking-oil-late-show-1939625

Yeah, I was amazed by Atlas Shrugged too...when I was 14.

Isn't the under 18 procedure pretty much reserved for those who are a high risk of suicide unless they can transition?

In court there's such a thing as a directed verdict, and also ruling on an issue as a matter of law. Basically where there's no reasonable jury that could decide otherwise, the judge directs the decision.

That's kind of how I feel - not removing the democratic process obviously, but this is a situation you can be for Trump or reasonable, not both.

Just for fun: this would have worked so much better if they price dropped the PS5 and introduced the PS5 Pro at the old price.

People are anchored into thinking the PS5 is a certain value, and if they did that, it would instantly make the PS5 Pro and the PS5 appear to be a bargain, and so much of the PS5-owning public would have bought another system because it would be "such a good deal," while PS5 fence-sitters would jump at the core system. I'm not trained to say for sure, but I think while their profit margin would be lower they'd be making much more money.

Ah, yes. "It was sarcasm." Trump pulled that last night too.

If you didn't like it then I meant something different and you just didn't get it. Women love that response.

This isn't quite "white whale" territory, but I've always wanted to play this game.

I miss the creative, quirky Dreamcast era and this seemed like one of the best, unfortunately region-locked, examples.

Kamala eventually got around to referencing his "love letters" to Kim Jong Un, but I was hoping so hard she would note that Mr. "I'm so powerful, they're all afraid of me" saluted the guy.

I also feel like the moderators were relatively good at calling out egregious lies and not giving Trump the final word. Usually.

But yeah, Trump apparently controlled the mics, not the moderators.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, I watched Trump train the moderators live. They gave in once and then he would keep doing it more and more until they gave in every time.

Then Harris tried to get an extra response like Trump did near the end and they just ignored her.

They're an English professor, in that they profess to speak English. I think their name was also very English, maybe Prof. John Barron?

 

Sorry if this is redundant, I didn't see another thread focused on reactions to the game itself (just the Pokemon-ripoff news cycle).

I tried it on GamePass thinking, why not - might as well see how overhyped it is. And unexpectedly, I put in about 8 hours this weekend.

Despite some rough edges and some very clear inspiration, I am actually enjoying it. It has a very satisfying gameplay feedback loop and is an overdue (if involuntary) "modernization" of the basic monster-collector format.
