I will admit that looking at the most recent polling I don't take a Clinton victory for granted anymore. I'm not thrilled that a lovely Republican appointee basically poo poo all over Democrat electoral success this year and I hope they learn not to appoint Republicans to anything ever again from this.

I put 2 months of my life into FFXI. Best job system. Worst MMO. Oh god the grind, and the travel system made you want to murder yourself. The way that game was laid out made absolutely no sense at all. Forcing players to get across zones and do quests that were triple their level. You had to play it at such a dedicated level to get anything out of it.

I think you also had to be Japanese to understand the story arch I think. I never quite wrapped my head around it.

Hitting 75 with a character in FFXI should of come with an award. That enndless grinding and party waiting sucks.

No it doesn't because that isn't the point he was making. I know this because this isn't the first time he's brought this up. You rushed in trying to sound neutral and reasonable and ignored the fact we've been having this conversation with mcmagic for literally months.

Clinton's unfavorables are high among a specific demographic, who happens to coincide with Trump's strongest demographic. The argument that anyone else would be winning by more by default has no merit.

Wait is this somehow implying they're not going to have loving press there to cover it? I can't think of anything more insane than the media not being able to cut to the trump party at some point during the night.

It might be, but remember that either Trump is deluded enough to think he'll win in which case he's going to just pick whatever journalists haven't upset him recently or aware that he's going to lose and limiting the crowd that will be around for his last gasp. That said, if he goes off on one last "RIGGED" speech, I want as few cameras as possible on it because this poo poo is tired.

To bring the anime full circle.

To actually be on topic for once, I legitimately hope they go through with the party being invite-only just so Trump has to then vigorously deny any reports that people were upset at all when he loses. It'll be great to watch continual reality denial.

I'm not trying to sound a certain way. I'm saying what I think because I'm not running for office. And what I said stands. If Hillary destroys Trump in the general then there's proof positive that she wasn't a weak candidate. If she only squeaks by, then I think you all have to face the facts that she may not have been the best choice. That will never happen because it will involve admission of being wrong, of course.

I can definitely believe that he suspects he'll lose and is getting pouty and doesn't want anyone to be there so he can just ignore it as much as possible and not give any kind of public speech. He's like a kid who's losing to Ryu so he pulls the plug on his SNES before it can say he lost in big letters.

Real RPG question? How often do you play not as your own gender?

I think it always can be interesting, like playing fallout 2 as a women and finding you occasionally cannot access parts of the game. Or being able to pursue a romance with Alistair in Dragon Age, and the friendship you can have with Lyanna just seems fun (alos I palyed my elf warrior as Buffy). Plus Femshep (who doesn't want the voice of Jennifer Hale)? Also for some reason I always felt Arcanum was best when playing as a female half elf mage fighter. Although outside an attempted female play through in fallout 2 I never have done female playthroughs of the others. (Fallout 1 because well I played fallout 2 first and the Manuel made it clear the vault dweller was a male). Finally I always play Kotor 2 as a women because even before it became canon (which now may not matter) it just seemed right to be a women for that role compared to my attempt to be some male character out of TOTJ.

Also I'd rather we do RPG chat then replay the Democratic primary chat.

I play as a woman probably 80% of the time, and, well, Mister Adequate. I have no strong attachment to being a guy, and though I wouldn't class myself as trans, I think privilege excepted I would rather be a woman. Games are a nice way to experience something other than my real life, so why not throw one more thing into the mix?

"I'm not trying to sound a certain way, I just think you all have to acknowledge that Hillary Clinton has no campaigning ability and therefore if she doesn't win by a vague metric of 'big' literally anyone else would have been better than her."

Like again, this is the argument you're making: Hillary Clinton is the bottom floor and has no actual talent or skill of her own. Any other candidate can be assured the same support, turnout and success she has and more in addition. The other candidate's flaws are unimportant and they obviously would have no impact on the race.

You, of course, are not obligated to offer any proof whatsoever that Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden or Magical McNobody would have been a stronger candidate, just take the smug self-satisfied argument of "See, she didn't win by ENOUGH so she was weak."

This ignores the fact that there is a demonstrable strong ground for Republican candidates, Trump is an energizing figure for at least a portion of his supporters, and there is an open Supreme Court Justice seat thereby assuring a valid "hold your nose" talking point for a lot of conservatives. The magical fantasy of a 60% Democratic landslide win has little going for it. Obama is probably the best campaigner and candidate the Democratic party could offer in our lifetime and he didn't win by anywhere near that much.

Oh my god. I bet he's watching Obama speaking in Miami as he tweets. It's been glorious, he's absolutely unloading on Trump; I've never seen him this angry at a person (rather than an issue) before.Went through all Trump's personal failings, called out his racism, sexism, and said nothing about his horrible character would change by being elected except that he'll 'have more power to carry out (his) twisted notions than (he) had before"! It was really powerful. I know Hillary's taking the 'go high' approach, but it was great to hear someone throw Trump's poo poo back at him. I really hope that Obama feels free to speak his mind more once he's out of the office.
