I didn't know I needed this. Thanks!

I know... I know. The media landscape in this country is irrevocably fucked.

I 100% agree with you. They'd probably threaten to arrest them all and then as a last resort, bring in the military to run it, just guessing on that. No idea if the military has the capacity to even meet 10% of the need for ATC.

But yeah, the people need to work together if we ever want change in this country, but if my experiences in life have taught me anything, it's that when the chips are down, people tend to turn on each other rather than work together. That's what I'm seeing play out in this country right now.

I just don't get it. I feel like I'm at such diametric odds with most of the people I encounter on a day to day basis that I don't see how that ideological gap can be bridged. It's really gotten bad.

Reagan made sure that'll never happen.

I imagine they know that. But it's a good headline that "Republicans vote down child care"

For what it's worth, I kinda agree. Maybe I've changed but I feel like their content over the last year or two is nowhere near as good as it was.

Maybe I've just had a change in taste, though.

Well obviously this is the reason Rafael Cruz has come out against Wikipedia recently. He just wants tighter articles and more conciseness in describing the dishonesty of his God-King. Over-verbosity is the devils work, after all.

That's awesome! Which ending did you choose? Also, I highly highly highly recommend doing the gigs. They fill out the world in amazing ways and aren't just cheap filler. They really give flavor to the bigger jobs and the characters involved.

"I'm shocked. Just shocked," he said cynically.

Does there exist a red-line which MAGA cultists, conservatives, moderates, and all the flavors of the left can agree upon? My brain says no, but my heart says maybe this could be it.

I sincerely don't see how anyone could defend this. I'm sure they'll try, though.

Underground 2 .net has as an amazing lore-accurate overhaul. Highly recommend it for a one stop shop mod.

The EA Sports BIG titles are stupid fun. Highly recommend SSX Tricky, NBA Street Vol. 2, and NFL Street 2.

MX vs ATV Unleased is a classic. Great racing game.

ATV Offroad Fury 2 is fantastic, but hard to emulate.

I'm sure I'll think of more, but those are great off the top of my head.

"They can't arrest us all!"

Well, actually....

Where the fuck do they take 500 people? How big is the London holding cells? Jesus Christ.

 

Just thought I could get a discussion thread going. What is everyone playing lately?

I just finished playing Metal Gear Solid Delta, it was great! I decided to play through the series finally after years of watching video essays on the game, and I'm glad I did! I played Metal Gear Solid and Metal Gear Solid 2: Subsistence through emulation (4k HD for the win!) It was a great experience and I can see why the series is so highly venerated. It holds up remarkably well, and the long cut scenes were really enjoyable. I thought it would be annoying, but I actually found myself looking forward to them. Delta was like jumping forward in time 30 years, but still extremely fun. I'm glad they stayed so close to the source material so I could just play the new release instead of booting up Snake Eater through emulation.

Now if I could just play IV without a PS3, that would be awesome. I might have to try emulation on that, but from what I read, the experience isn't great.

Regardless, now I'm replaying Max Payne 3. This game IS SO FREAKING GOOD. I had forgotten how good it is. The noir narration is just amazing. The gameplay is tight as a snare drum. The art style and visuals are still amazing even when compared to modern games. Rockstar really knocked this game out of the park. I still haven't played Max Payne 1 or 2, and maybe I should. Also, I found out that one of the bands I've recently discovered and have been listening to like crazy, Health, did the score for Max Payne 3. The music is fantastic. If you haven't played it, I highly recommend giving it a go.

Other than those games, I plan to play through The Last of Us 1 for the first time soon. Not sure how "retro" it is, but I think it is borderline given the original release date and hardware. Looking forward to trying it for the first time. I've never had Sony consoles, so I've missed out on a ton of first-party Sony games over the years. Trying to make up for that by playing modern PC releases and through emulation.

So yeah, what do ya'll have going on right now? What do you recommend playing and why?
