Excellent job remaining calm and standing up to the narrative.

Only when you ask 'did this really happen' does it bother to point out that it didn't. It's infuriating that you should even have to ask if something is true, and can only do so AFTER it has fed you a bunch of lies, because it defaults to treating the original post as gospel. /2

Creature of Havoc is fantastic. The others are good but overrated due to the nostalgia factor in my opinion. Depends how old the kids are :)

Literally all of those things except drawing, because no-one needs to see my attempts in that area. I have 3 cats, hundreds of board games, play RPGs (retro and modern) like it's a full time job, and use spreadsheets for like, everything. Good thing I already follow you...

All amazing (except I never got into Super Mario RPG)... plus Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Kart, Star Fox, Street Fighter 2...

S: Saint Denis (Red Dead Redemption 2)
The architecture and bustling vibe of Saint Denis represents a huge contrast to the rest of the RDR2 world and a 'fish out of water' feeling for Arthur. It also represents the progress which is changing America and making the outlaw life a thing of the past.

I often spend an entire evening going through my collection and trying to pick a new game... then ending up playing a game I've finished 10+ times already.

Definitely. The idea that the shooter was hired by Trump to shoot into the crowd is a grim scenario but not impossible. Is there actually any evidence of the shooter being killed?

If they anticipated something Trump wouldn't have been there in the first place. I guess he might carry a blood pack around just in case the opportunity arises. It would be a heck of a cover up job to disappear both the shooter and the victim, especially with the latter leaving family behind.

It does seem like something he'd do, but what about the guy who died?

They're a cult - they're never blame him. Even as their last possessions are loaded into the bailiff's truck they'll stand there saying "Fucking Biden"
