SFM has been the patron saint of shitpost videos for decades. It has a certain je ne sais quoi that's not easily replicated, you can always tell when something has been made in SFM and I think it's become a part of the DNA of that subset of memes.

Yes but if the representatives aren't representing their populace accurately, then what is a citizen to do? Vote, obviously, but in the meantime?

The unfortunate truth is that largely the state of New York may as well just be the province of New York City, plus a few additional hangers-on that don't really matter beyond a couple percentage points here or there. And those folks out hanging on, upstate, aren't feeling very represented. Because New York City is, essentially, all that matters in the state economically.

I don't know how to solve this in a way that makes sense. I believe that every person is entitled to representation that matches their needs. But when you have a single representative attempting (if they even do that) to represent both the big city and the rural interests at the same time, there are going to be some incompatible requests. And the city wins those, always, because it's the economic driver of the state.

And you don't know what a source is.

I would argue that Texas has already done enough to be stripped of control permanently.

"A niche game franchise" lmao Street Fighter is one of the most popular and well known game series in the world. I won't say it's the best fighting game franchise, but it is very much a household name just as much as Mario or Pokémon are.

Maybe I'm just a fanboy but I'm not seeing much in this list that applies to Witcher at all except maybe the crafting, and the tiddies, but to that point if you're going to dunk on a game for having good graphics then I don't understand you. Same for Cyberpunk. They were both genuinely pretty damn good games that I enjoyed a lot.

He's already well past what would be considered contempt of court for literally any other living human being. They're giving him as much rope as is possible for two reasons, one being so that absolutely no one can argue a mistrial, and the second being that he continues to attempt to hang himself with every length of rope let out to him. May as well let him continue.

Yep. Around 2014 I was absolutely ruined by exactly this, and ended up having to drop out of college about it. Never did finish my degree. Over about half a year trying to get my finances back in order while being slammed with overdraft fee after overdraft fee after overdraft fee, I ended up """"owing"""" Suntrust Bank something to the tune of like $1200 that they pulled out of their asses by reordering items. Meanwhile I'm overdrafting my account by $8 to get some ramen packs that I could eat for the next 2 weeks, knowing damn well this $8 case of maruchan ramen is going to end up costing me $43 after the overdraft fee. Legitimately the closest I've ever been to just killing myself to escape the grind.

They're fucking lucky that all I did was settle up and close my account the following year, because they deserve arson, and I know some people that would have been more tempted to that than I was.

Yes but that low of a bar is what is required to be dangerous.

Ok this is actually great. I'm thinking Hotline Miami style combat but with bigger and more open levels akin to maybe Splinter Cell. Lugging the trolley around would probably get annoying after a while so we'll need to make it the main gimmick and give it some upgrades. Speed up while pulling, maybe an auto tether that will have it follow you around to a limited extent without having to lug it. Being able to hop in the trolley to stealth at the cost of being able to move or shoot. Final trolley upgrade near the end of the game can give it a shitty little auto turret and shield and let it assist you in some point defense rushes before the final boss.

Not quite the same but you should most definitely check out the Wizardry! series
