  • The Xbox version is worthless because of a glitch in the main quest that breaks the game halfway through. PlayStation runs fine, but with some lost frames near cannons for some reason. PC is the priceless version because you can unlock a porn mini game that wasn’t discovered at the time of rating it M; it was recalled since that content should’ve made it rated AO, so the launch M rated PC version is really hard to find. Check the SKU if you spot a PC copy. Not everybody knows, so you might be able to snag it for a few bucks from some unwitting mom on fb marketplace who’s just clearing out her dead son’s room.


  • What?! But we were told that he couldn’t be bought because he already has sooo much money!

    Somebody told me that and I countered with “no, the fact that he has billions of dollars and only ever talks about things in terms of money and has no real friends means that the only thing he values is money. Above friendship, above family, above morality, above any flavor of faith. All he has in the world is money, and he thinks himself successful, so he’d sell everything in the world for just a little more.”


  • I’m reminded of how justice is served on the ice in a hockey game. If a player executes an illegal, dangerous hit on another player, especially if the victim is the goalie or a star player, and the refs don’t call shit, then that guy is about to get his ass beat.

    There will be consequences, even if the DoJ refuses to act. The heat is rising on this cold civil war. When trump crowns himself head of the fed and slashes interest rates, and when the dollar crashes soon thereafter, shit’s gonna get crazy.

    I’m also predicting that somebody high up in this administration refers to America as an “empire” and then a “realm” and possibly just straight up a “reich” within this year.








  • Considering the lack of value we’re getting in return for these taxes, nah I’m pretty sure everybody should be upset about taxes. Other, better countries may pay more in taxes, but after accounting for the healthcare and worker rights that the taxes get them, they end up with more time and more money than most Americans.

    I met a local politician who, in my red area, just seemed like he was dancing around labeling himself a Democrat. The office was for basically money management in the area, and he was talking about optimizing the use of tax funds. I made it clear that I don’t really mind paying this tax rate, and I would even pay more, but only if it starts getting used on shit that matters like building another school because ours are getting overcrowded, and the area is growing whether we prepare or not. I said that even if I only cared about my own finances, that’s an investment that supports growth which would raise my property value, and it would attract new businesses to serve that growing population. Just plan for it so that it doesn’t grow out of control and become a shit hole with stupid intersection infrastructure and urban sprawl.




  • Seems like a regular hat theory to me. Seems like an obvious pipeline from his Miss Teen USA beauty pageants to “industry opportunities” like modeling or access to good agents, and then “I’ve pulled some strings for you and I’ve got you an invitation to an exclusive party full of important people you’ll really benefit from meeting. Just wear this little thing and be one of many pretty girls in the room, enjoying a private party. Show how fun you can be, and then the way will be paved for you. Trust me, I know how these things work. The best thing that can happen for your future is that one of these guys asks to talk privately with you in a room in the back. Just go along with it.”

    I would be very surprised if there were evidence that this isn’t what was happening.



  • That’s optimistic. In terms of physical changes, it will take a couple years; in terms of law and policy changes, it will take decades if it can ever be undone.

    But in terms of global standing, reputation, trust, credit, etc? That shit is never coming back. Only a fucking moron would agree to any strong partnership with the US knowing that every 4 years there’s a significant chance that their leader could be a demented, spoiled brat who will tear everything apart and nobody will stop him from doing the most batshit insane cruelties imaginable. Once is a fluke; we elected this dumbass traitor twice, and we did nothing about his atrocities after the first go.

    This stupid asshole wrecked everything, and we still haven’t truly felt even a small fraction of the damage yet.



  • I’m still pissed off at Democrats in the Senate that pulled that very thing to end the shutdown less than a week after big election wins last month. Republicans were starting to crack under pressure and those fuckers conspired to give their leverage up for nothing, but in a way to not expose Schumer and anyone running in 2026.

    I’ll never be one to argue “both sides” but holy fucking shit was that a letdown. That was a McConnell type play. If they’re gonna be sneaky schemers, I wish they’d do it on behalf of the voters and not their donors. At this point, they’ve got to be aware that, if their negligence destroys the economy and the country enough, that they have much more to lose than we do. I’m much closer to broke than I am to being a millionaire (let alone billionaire), so if my cash becomes toilet paper, I’ll power through on spite alone from knowing that their mountain of toilet paper drags them down to our level. But unlike me, they’ll be one of a select few with targets on their backs for betraying we the people.
