💯 Playing through Red Dead Redemption 2 and there is so much detail and it’s beautiful.

…but then when I’m trying to pick out herbs and plants and it’s all so beautifully rendered I don’t know what plants and flowers can be harvested and which are just there to be pretty. Dead Eye is a lifesaver for that.

That desaturated-with-highlighted-items vision is a design choice that does solve a problem even in realistic worlds – even if it’s just to show players something the character can see but is hard for the player to spot.

I think the Zelda Oracle games were pretty rad. Easy games to play, and for the truly committed you had cross progression between the two games to complete quests across Seasons and Ages. The two games had completely different maps and dungeons to explore with different items in each. They were a dual release that weren’t just the same maps with slightly reshuffled enemies like the Pokémon games were. I remember trading my copy of Seasons to my friend for his copy of Ages and then checking in with each other to see where we were and if either of us had discovered any secrets that we hadn’t found in our respective playthrough.

Oof. Y’all are correct about the misunderstanding. I apologize for the heated response. Being wrong kinda takes the fire out of my indignation and now I just feel foolish. Thanks for the lesson, y’all

the “do nothing congress” was miles better

This sentiment is wrong. Making some effort to correct course should be a bare minimum. Accepting the broken system as irreversibly corrupt and doing nothing about it is objectively worse than using the institutions as they are intended. Even if these impeachments go nowhere, let it excite voters to turn out.

If you show up and vote for the party that actually wants to accomplish something, here is an example of what can be done. If you want to see checks and balances in action, vote for the party that is willing to make it happen.

With all the talk of the corruption of the most powerful court in the country, here is what the process looks like to fix it.

Conversely, if you just want to lie down and allow the court to continue to tear down the other “co-equal” branches of government, and regress our rights in an overtly corrupt way, then go ahead and sit back down. Do what you seem to prefer our elected leaders do: Shut up and fuck off. Find another place to commiserate with other self defeated losers.

While I personally do appreciate the level of detail and amount of options provided in this reply, the more straightforward and longer-term solution is to eat the rich.

Why are they censoring the truth?

Oh, that must be really embarrassing, but…

graphic images and disinformation

Maybe work on your reading comprehension to make sure you don’t embarrass yourself like that again.
