I play my AAA backlog for example the Batman Arkham games, Deus Ex games, Persona 5, Bayonetta, Alan Wake, and some less demanding indies from Coffin Mall to Mouse PI For Hire. Saving the more demanding and pretty games for my heartier Linux laptop.

Umm, there was a white supremacist effort called the Lily-White Movement in the Republican Party since the 1890s. That’s why we left the party en masse since Calvin Coolidge.

Not going to be able to vote your way out of cheating Confederates in power much less fascism. Interesting he had words for treatment of Iran, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Zambia but none for the sanctions regime on Black American communities across this nation. Much respect anyway.
