This is the fraud, waste, and abuse in your government.

Trump thinks this is fine

They want Trump and America to take it but they think they'll get to turn it into a crypto feudal state? Trump will keep it, dangle it like a carrot in front of billionaires, partner with them to rob them of resources, even. But he'll never outright give it to them completely. And even if he does, he could just take it again.

I dunno guys... This latest crop of billionaires sure seem stupid to me.

Trump made it worse, but we have decades of politicians making this happen before it got to this point.

It's gonna be fuckin miserable and agonizing but it'll be a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

To be a martyr you typically have to believe in something bigger than yourself. Trump can't do that. He's too self serving and everyone around him knows it because they wanna be just like him. He could get killed and people might try to make him a martyr, but he only pushes division and hatred and self enrichment, good luck getting anyone aside from the proud boys to rally behind that. They tried to do it with Charlie Kirk too and that amounted to fuck all.

Damn. They should have really lynched him.

No one likes Vance. Maga would tear itself apart before it follows JD.

I sure hope so.

This is like the network build out of the dot com bubble but way fuckin bigger.

He's gonna make an excuse whether you give him one or not. Stop sitting on your hands.

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

 

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
