i really awnt to like xcom but i just could never get into the design and aesthetics choices of that game. i love the fallout design/lore/aesthetics more.
yeah that genre should be used in a lot more settings and worlds, tbqh

currently it's just shadowrun and xcom and both are varying degrees of whizbang techno dystopian hellhole

I'm not talking about that, I mean the player character is a lot more customizable in terms of other things.

except it doesn't take place in Poland, and liberally uses non-Polish mythology in other places

well duh witcher 3 you play as an actual pre-existing character in a well established story/series

:laffo: liberals want trump impeached so this guy will be president

A friend made a good point that has convinced me that Trump should be impeached.

Trump should be impeached for the sake of democracy, for the well being of our Republic. Trump is a cancer and deserves to be impeached. He is an embarrassment and his presence damages the prestige and reputation of the U.S. Plus, Pence couldn't be any worse.

Looking at it from that standpoint, it probably should happen.

Xcom 2 was good but the combat boiled down to manipulating when in a turn the enemy would see you, and the difference between a terrible fight and good fight was almost 100% based on it.

Night in the Woods and Kentucky Route Zero are the Trumpiest video games other there (though I never played Lisa, which seems too creepy for me)

Dude, it's too late. Trump getting impeached doesn't mean he retroactively wasn't president. Trump always will have been president, that is an immutable fact of history now

I was thinking about Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and it seems like it presents one of the strengths of Democracy as a baseline minimum competence of leaders. They might be cowards or poo poo heads or entirely self-serving, but with a democracy you won't get a complete hosed up retard monster like you can get with a hereditary monarchy.

well one strength with democracy is that the poo poo leaders can be removed in a pretty short time. A bad king might last decades

U. Delaware prof under fire for saying Otto Warmbier got 'what he deserved' in N. Korea

quote:

Kathy Dettwyler, a 62-year-old professor in the anthropology department, wrote in the now-removed Facebook post that the 22-year-old was “typical of a mindset of a lot of the young, white, rich, clueless males who come into my classes.”

“These are the same kids who cry about their grades because they didn’t think they’d really have to read and study the material to get a good grade,” Dettwyler wrote. “His parents ultimately are to blame for his growing up thinking he could get away with whatever he wanted. Maybe in the US, where young, white, rich, clueless white males routinely get away with raping women. Not so much in North Korea. And of course, it’s Ottos’ parents who will pay the price for the rest of their lives.”
