It snowed here in Michigan like a day after I got back from Vegas. And it just dawned on me that it’s actually kind of the perfect cap to my New Vegas themed mini-vacation:
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Ugh. The worst thing in Bethesda/Obsidian games is reaching a point where you didn’t have any idea you’d need to have a certain skill to get a decent choice in a pivotal moment…

Actually feeling some genuine aggravation at seeing British outlets posting EV4 reviews and knowing that we might never get the thing in the US at this point.

Anyway, hold your pets and loved ones. Some shitty news today, but we’re still here, we’re not done, and things can get better. Don’t forget that good things happened last week, like, seriously good things. This is a setback, and it sucks, but setbacks happen. Hang in there

Damn, I’d been doing such a good job of not looking at social media today and just enjoying a relaxing day, playing a lot of video games. And then I hopped on to see what I missed.

Ok I’ll try to keep this the only lot based post for a while, but I see we’re kicking off the game with basically that one Star Trek episode about warp drive destroying the fabric of space that no one ever talks about.

Ok, actual problem. Picking traits for my character. There’s one called Witty, which keeps your reputation with any faction from dipping below “Neutral.” That would be useful, but also REALLY feels like it would kind of break the game.

While I’m imagining GM EV products that don’t exist and would be questionably successful, I’d like a 4th-gen-inspired Camaro EV.
Finally watching the Questionable Garage video on the EV1. I am glad it ended up in the hands of people that will share so much about it. Also, it would be neat if GM created some kind of model inspired by it. Of course, I can’t think of any kind of market for a tiny two door EV, but ‘twould be neat

today: you fool, you idiot, Chuck Schumer has only appeared vaguely competent because his caucus actively revolted

SCOOP: Schumer was more involved than reported with the attempted cave on the government shutdown. The Gang of 8 Senate Dems had his approval & he was getting daily updates.
In Thursday's caucus meeting, the Gang claimed they had 10 votes to cave. The caucus went nuts, leading to the new proposal.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Just thinking about the Coca-Cola AI holiday ad, and if I was working in Pepsi marketing, I would immediately commission a variety of holiday ads from artists and studios and make a huge deal out of it.
