    I’ve got 30 hours into it and haven’t finished it yet. I feel like it’s got a decent amount of gameplay so far. Plus I am already planning a replay once with different party members. I’ve also heard the story is better in the 2nd playthrough (you don’t really figure out wtf is going on until pretty far into the game). Definitely worth checking out, especially if you have Gamepass.

    I read one of his short stories recently that followed one of the characters whose child died in Cujo. I love the idea of Stephen King completely forgetting he wrote that book and having to go back and read it to come up with characters for his later stories. Do you suppose while reading he was like “Damn this book is great, I wonder what’ll happen next?”



  • Exactly. It’s just an insult to them.

    A while back, one of my Trumper neighbors decided that she didn’t use an elliptical work-out machine that she had bought over 2 years prior. She took it back to the store without a receipt and demanded that they give her money for it - not just store credit - even though it was well past the return date.

    When telling me this story, she acknowledged her crazy behavior by saying “haha I was acting like such a liberal.”

    In her mind, it’s as simple as “liberal = bad”. The actual definitions of words mean nothing to them.




  • I dunno about that. The peacekeeper saw the dude go retrieve a rifle, confronted him, and he ran aiming the rifle at the crowd.

    I suppose your argument is that the guy hadn’t actually pulled the trigger when the peacekeeper acted? That seems insane to me.

    The shooter and another person in a neon vest allegedly saw Gamboa separate from the crowd of marchers in downtown Salt Lake City, move behind a wall and withdraw a rifle around 8 p.m., Redd said.

    When the two men in vests confronted Gamboa with their handguns drawn, witnesses said Gamboa raised his rifle into a firing position and ran toward the crowd, said Redd.
