All the state subs are overwhelmingly left - even for my state, which is one of the redder states in the country.

Car dealerships next to military bases must be drooling with excitement.

It's probably a combination of both. People aren't good with estimating numbers, but when almost every bit of western entertainment media shows disproportionately large amounts of minorities and LGBTQAHFKANSHDNADHSJ people, it definitely doesn't help.

Gameplay wise, it's the most fun I've had playing Pokemon for a very long time.

Graphics are a mixed bag. The Pokemon, humans, and buildings are actually pretty good, with nice effects when wet due to rain. Animations are also quite good, except for the strange design decision of throttling the animation frame rate at a distance to absurdly low values.

The terrain and trees are terrible looking though.

They would, but with the exception of when they convert sentient minivans to their cause they rarely do anything but stand on street corners screaming at people.

One I'll always recommend for something that's just stupid fun is Girls und Panzer. I originally checked it out on a whim and it ended up my favorite anime.

It starts off a little slow with a heavier focus on the slice of life side of things, but after the first 2-3 episodes the balance swaps to be mostly focusing on the tank battles with a bit of slice of life separating them.

Plus the movie (and the ongoing Das Finale sequel OVAs, the third of which should have fansubs within a few days) are absolutely fantastic.

And if you like historical references, that enhances the show even more, since it's full of them.

That was the turn based "modern" one called Battletech.

Oh God, it'll be even less competent at feeding people than communists normally are.

I'm decently far into the singleplayer now, and there's no sign of whoever that is. Seems like she's only in the tutorial that I skipped.

No gold subscription needed, and gamepass has pretty much superseded Gold. Microsoft's stopped requiring gold for multiplayer, and the Halo Infinite multiplayer is free to play anyway.

I'm enjoying the campaign so far - storywise, it's been a massive improvement over Halo 4 and 5, and is looking like it'll tie things together nicely. Whether you enjoy it in it's entirety depends on how you like the open world aspect. I'm personally enjoying that part, but only because the actual gunplay is very good, and it prevents the fights when traveling around the open world from getting tedious.

They can't have a heart attack on the battlefield if they already 41%'d themselves.

You'd think he'd have a better imagination then given all the exercise he gives it.

Looks like the admins responded to the tantrum and told them no.

I picked up X-Wing Ultimate Alliance, the Tie Fighter Total Conversion, and have been playing it in VR. Though I also had to buy a new joystick, since the stick for my X-52 pro broke and was giving me constant yaw commands.

On the other hand, with a joystick and VR, it's fantastic.

Difficult though - they didn't pull punches like they do nowadays.

The mail-in still have a record of being sent, and a record of being received back. That's where they saw the discrepancy - 74k more received records were found than sent records, when, even at 100% voter response, the numbers should match. And realistically, you'd have significantly less received votes than sent votes.

If there's anything the SCOTUS doesn't like as a whole, it's lower courts ignoring them - even from the justices that disagree with the precedent. For something this recent, I could even see a unanimous decision in favor of the baker, or kicking it back to the lower courts telling them they fucked up big time ala Caetano.

Of course, that doesn't really do anything about Mr. Mentally Ill using the process as the punishment.

Based on the dialogue in the trailer, it seems this is a new, different cortana, also based on Halsey's brain but created independently, specifically created to handle and capture the original rampant Cortana. So not really a copy, either - more a newer model I guess.

Based on the trailer, I'd expect the original Cortana to show up again.

I don't think the overall story will be anything special after the travesty that was Halo 5, but this seems to be jumping at shadows by people that just looked at screencaps of the trailer and didn't actually watch it to get the context.
