I had a similar experience and didn’t think I would do ng+ but still pretty much immediately started it and did another playthrough lol

Wasn’t old enough to have any opinion of him but I just asked my dad who’s been living here since '89 and he thinks our current mayor is worse lmao

Elections are this November. A ton of seats up. Shitty center right mayor. Shitty right wing city attorney. Shitty right wing city council president, among others.

The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021

I mean if you really think the right wing accurately portrayed a nuanced issue that’s certainly a take

Except that’s not really true. She didn’t run on that at all. It was a tweet from long before the election that the right wing used to tarnish her

Friendly reminder that Seattle’s current city attorney is a trump backing Republican who was elected all because Seattle at the time was too scared of a candidate who once talked about abolishing the police.

The author here is running for the position and if you’re in Seattle I highly encourage supporting him. We have a chance to drastically shift the center right city government that has plagued our city these last few years

I need to. Loved her on Kinda Funny. Big loss for them when she left. Sorely lacking women voices on there

Janet really is the best. And yeah she did such a good job here

The people showing up to defend trees at the city council these days are nimbys who don’t want higher density. They fail to see that adding more housing in Seattle will prevent hundreds of trees not being cut down in the new suburbs being built in our forested areas

And I am also free to think the joke is in bad taste and to refuse support for a game that makes jokes that make light of the shit situation I’m in :)

I mean yeah but really no. The political implications are too big to ignore here. Especially given the event being in LA with all the shit going on. Also like as a particularly targeted person in this fascist administration, it really doesn’t feel great for people to use fascist iconography to make a stupid joke!

Also like splitgate 2? Really? The game that during this announcement announced a battle royale mode? The most tired shooter mode since hero shooters? And the one that had $145 microtransactions on launch? This is the savior of fps gaming?

Nah

I very much enjoy the threads! If for no other reason than having a space to discuss a game that recently came out

Unfortunately apart from a scraper / parser being written I don’t see a way to do it easily

Yeah for essentially $50 with the bundle it’s not bad

Well I can already predict this thread will be full of comments on the price so I’ll go ahead and give actual impressions on the game.

It’s really good! The free roam mode is maybe a bit more bare bones than I thought it would be but it’s still great fun driving around and doing challenges. Some of the challenges are legitimately difficult and some of the special ones have taken me ages to complete. The driving feels great, the new movement mechanics are really fun. Knockout tour is absolutely the star here and a great new mode. The AI is harder this time around which makes racing against them much more fun in my opinion.

Overall I’ve been having an amazing time. I do think $80 is steep. But that aside, the game is outstanding

I may be misremembering but infinite ammo is like a setting you unlock for guns that you buy with points or something of the sort. I think they are toggle-able on and off.

Edit: I believe there is an option in special settings to turn infinite ammo off

Post nuke racoon city is such an awesome idea for a setting. So excited for this

All I gotta say is I am beyond hyped for Donkey Kong Bananza. It looks sooooo gooooodddddd

Yep it’s really whack. Sucks too because I have 2 distinct squads. A crew from college and a crew from high school. One on PlayStation and one on PC… Like I could buy it on both I suppose but that just sucks lol

Yeah I’m lucky enough that I have a squad that’s all very into elden ring on the same system to play with. But if you don’t have that it sounds like a pretty miserable time. Really hope they add cross play and balance single player more
