Video game enthusiast and father. Autistic and not great at social media. I love Nintendo most of all, but also enjoy PS5, Xbox Series X, PC and emulation handhelds. I'll mostly post about video games but also some politics. Also cats are great.
I'm just happy it's coming out in March. I figured it was a summer game.

No. It's definitely bad, but Biden even got some polls like this. Bush got down to 25% after the 2008 market crash. I think Trump has a floor of at least 33% with his Maga base. It would probably take a full blown recession to sink below that.

To be fair caring about something that's not him is very difficult. Even pretending to care takes a lot of concentration. I think 2 whole days of that is impressive.

That's a really good photo. I mean the subject matter is terrible, but it really does help to capture the essence of our country at the moment. This photo by itself won't get people's attentions but all of these things do add up to a narrative, one that more and more people are waking up to.

I still don't really think anything will come of the epstein files anytime soon. There are too many powerful people still alive that this will affect. I think this is a thorn in their side but I'm guessing MTG is just mad at Trump and is creating a new brand to fill the power-vacuum post Trump.

A lot of old games could at minimum use QOL changes. For those who have played them for decades they are fine but some old game design choices haven't aged well, especially with things like interfaces. Also if any old Zelda game gets a remake it should be the original Zelda.

I wouldn't rule it out if it's a big enough blue wave. I don't doubt democrats will pick up seats but not sure we can keep all of ours and flip 4.

It sort of just sounds like you don't know that many people with game consoles.

That interview should be criticized but saying it was a softball interview is definitely exaggerating. She asked good questions and it still was sort of a disaster for him despite everything.

This is definitely one of the better takes I've seen on here. Although Bush did get down to 25% when the economy crashed at the end of 2008. I think that's the only thing that would get Trumps approval down lower than 35.

8% would be plenty. Right now the Republicans only have 3 more members than democrats and the average midterm the party in power loses at least 20. Gerrymandering could help repuicans but even a small blue wave at like 3 or 4% should be fine. Hopefully this poll is accurate.

I think many Pokémon fans are just always mad period. I don't really pay attention to the plots of these games anyway so the protagonist thing didn't matter to me either way.

There is a margin of error so it could be. Also these polls are better when they ask how strong that approval is. I'm guessing another 5-10% think he's doing okay but not too great. Those people could easily switch over time.

It is his job. No reason to not complain about it though.

Isn't it just for high crimes and misdemeanors? I mean yeah he's done a tone of that stuff, but this list isnt accurate. Also he's not impeached because he controls the house of representatives.

I think 65 is a bit too young. I think your last term should end before you're 80 though.

Yeah I don't agree, but I don't really care enough about this topic to keep arguing.

Yeah it's definitely possible, but it's not really practical. If you want to be able to play a spooky game during spooky season most people will need more time. I'm sure people exist that think it's fun to rush through a game in 2 days but it can't be that many.

I don't think what Trump does can be considered leading. He just does whatever is best for him. But affordability is popular because it's a crisis that most Americans face and running on that is both popular and the right thing to do. They can run on other things as well but that should be the focus

That's a sad reply. Not sure why you don't want people to afford things.

If they want elected the platform needs to be about affordability. I'm all about doing all that stuff, but most Americans mostly just care about the economy and that's his biggest weakness right now.

Spooky themed stuff should come earlier in October so you can play it during the season. I know the game is fairly short but most people aren't going to finish the game in 2 days. This is especially true if you don't plan on playing the game all day on Halloween itself.

The 30th is too late for Halloween but at least it's coming I guess.

Why do people keep posting these old polls? I would be surprised if Maga was as interested in this as they were like 3 months ago.
