I’d say Musk acquiring Twitter played the largest role as it took away the uniparty’s #1 narrative pipeline.

Rogan’s interview with Trump (and Vance) happened very late in the election cycle long after early voting began. It did have a notable effect though in terms of winning over undecideds and improving Trump’s image (his favorability is at its highest currently).

Had the Rogan interviewed happened before the early voting period started, Trump’s margin of victory would’ve been larger.

Honestly, I think it comes down to if the uniparty has enough faith in Kamala to bother going all-in on the steal. Either they think she's a good enough puppet to install her in or they'll throw her out like used toilet paper and try to get enough democrats and RINOs in congress to obstruct any pro-America policy.

It also doesn't tell us anything about the game's longevity. There have been games that have high peaks, but struggle to maintain a high concurrent player count like Starfield. And with a game like Veilguard being in development for 9 years, 70k ain't enough. The current copium going around is that it's not a bomba like Dustborn or Concord.

Starfield peaked at >330K concurrent players and we all know how that went. Also, all the positive reviews have gotten clown emoji'ed and some of them are troll reviews.

Not to mention, this game has been in development for 9 years. There's a reason EA decided to launch it Day 1 on Steam and not try to milk the 100% cut on their own store.

Nothing irks me more when those activists protest, don't clean up after themselves, and leave behind a fuck ton of litter.

It’s why it’s important to DYOR into what products you’re buying. Just checking if the company’s website has a DEI page isn’t enough especially if the woke company is smart enough to keep its DEI policies a secret.

The latest cope I’ve been seeing from Ubi shills is pointing to a tweet from Tom Henderson (who?) saying AC Shadows preorders are “strong”.

The thing is if the preorder numbers are that good, then why is investor confidence still tanking?

I wonder how this will affect the COSMIC desktop since it was built on Rust and it looks pretty good. It'd be a shame that it gets its legs chopped off because of retards behind Rust.

Push polls and honeymoon period. Even with help from propagandists, it seems to not have moved the needle much if at all.

Quite suspicious timing considering that the latest NJ general election poll (granted, it is a republican poll) has Trump leading Biden by 1. Emerson had Trump only behind by Biden by 7 points in March.

Well I’m actually impressed. I guess I will get the game after all (on PC).

While much of the open-source community is pozzed, I much rather use Linux than using an OS that spies on me.

And at the end of the day, FOSS absolutely has to run on some sort of meritocracy or otherwise, it’ll cease to exist.

For SE to completely heal, it needs to purge its “ethics” committee and publicize it.

You gotta figure Sony slapped this shit on them at the last second and threatened to pull certification, while also forcing them to keep quiet about it.

I wonder if Shift Up can release the PC version ahead of schedule because of that. I highly doubt that was part of their agreement.

They also have their own "ethics" department. I guarantee you SE's profit margins will greatly improve if they just gut the entire department. You don't need to pay for useless employees; no time will be wasted on internal "consultations"; and games will subsequently be out at a faster cadence and at better quality.

Bonus outcome: SE perfects AI translation and we don't have to deal with wokalization.

Either RFK is being really dumb or he's playing 4D chess to siphon the progressive vote away from Biden. Either way, the notion that he will take votes away from Trump is laughable, especially considering who RFK chose as his running mate.

The only thing I'm okay with Tulsi touching is foreign policy. Anything else, keep her far far away.
