Civ VI instead of Civ V? List automatically invalid.

Jokes aside it’s an interesting list and I like the idea of ranking based on “what’s best to play right now” instead of by historical significance or some futile attempt at objective apples-to-apples quantification - even though at the end of the day I think I neither agree with the selection nor the ranking. But there are plenty of good games on there with solid reasons of why to play them in their descriptions, so it’s a good read nonetheless.

The pet eating angle was the most unhinged thing he said all debate. And he doubled down on it when the moderator addressed it!

You should not be surprised about this outcome. But yes, it’s shitty.

If anything it’s biased towards Trump. His mic gets unmuted whenever he opens his mouth (he’s even allowed to interrupt and talk over the moderators!), he’s allowed to completely ignore time limits and only a small fraction of his blatant lies are fact checked.

I expected nothing of ABC and am still disappointed. I think Harris could have done better, but production just doing their bare minimum job as journalists would have made a huge difference.

The moderators are sadly weak and afraid of him. He’s being allowed to run rampant.

This is your first exposure to Trump, I take it?

Is she? She’s ignoring way too much of his bullshit instead of dismissively calling him out on it. I don’t think she’s losing but I wouldn’t be surprised if this debate ends up getting called a draw by lots of outlets. Now, part of that is down to ABC, but Trump is being allowed to bulldoze both her and the moderators, and too many of his lies are left unanswered by either her or the moderators.

Trump gets to do whatever he wants. You should not be surprised at this point.

Production is helping Trump, too. Unmuting his mic whenever he opens his mouth (but not doing the same for Harris) and letting him completely ignore time limits. He’s probably had more than twice the time on the mic as Kamala.

It is quite likely even more skewed than that. Production is favouring Trump quite obviously. His mic gets unmuted whenever he opens his mouth too. He’s even allowed to interrupt the moderators. I guess ABC want him to win?

They’re letting Trump get away with murder here. I expected nothing but am still disappointed. He’s basically running with a hot mic while Kamala has to wait for her turn. Unbelievable.

Unsurprisingly he’s also bulldozing the hosts in typical fashion. They at least seem to occasionally try some pushback against him, but they seem woefully incapable of actually controlling him.

Anyone else having a sinking feeling about this? Feels like a lot is riding on it.

I think you’re right. Also, everyone is expecting Kamala to demolish Trump in the debate for whatever reason, so her putting in a solid, competent performance will be seen as a failure by everyone and feed into the narrative.

Been playing a lot ofDeadlock still, finally getting a grasp of how to play it feels like. Took a while to understand priorities and what to focus on and how to execute builds. Still held back a bit by my aim, but found enough ability-based heroes to still be able to perform. It’s a very fun game! I can’t play too many games in a row because it gets intense and stressful, but I’m really enjoying it.

I’ve also been playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution for the first time as something more relaxing and story based. It’s been alright so far. Don’t think it’s been hitting the heights of the original Deus Ex so far, but it’s enjoyable enough.

Does it have enough games yet?

I can’t believe it’s this close and I hate that Harris is starting to slip in some states. My heart can’t handle another Trump presidency.

“I’m sick of accepting the status quo anymore. I’m voting third party this year and it feels AWESOME!”

My take after interacting with him is that he’s taking pleasure in dancing around the rules of the community and being “technically correct” in adhering to the rules, while instigating heated discussions in others. With how often he brings up the civility rule I also wouldn’t be surprised if he takes pleasure in manoeuvring others into overstepping and consequently reporting them.

I don’t personally believe he’s following the “good faith discussion” rule since he’s demonstrated repeated refusal to consider facts (such as his personal “belief” that the spoiler effect doesn’t exist), but I’m not a mod here.

Rather, be aware that Trump chronically under polls. Guess people don’t want to admit they are going to vote for him.

Wasn’t that mainly an issue in 2016 and less so since then?
