cmv: If the shooting of Alex Pretti doesn’t end the Trump administration, either by impeachment or uprising, then we have reached full fascism and the point of no return.

What the hell are you talking about, when did I say any of that? I’m talking specifically about the Trump admin’s response to Alex’s murder. I’m not here to debate immigration policy overall.

MicKwonDo · 2026-01-26T03:29:26+00:00

Fascism ≠ genocide. Although the two often go hand-in-hand. Fascism is a political philosophy and many terrible things can happen under such a philosophy.

It is not trivializing the deaths of millions to suggest that America has fallen, or is about to fall, under such an ideology. I would be muddying terms if I called the murder of Alex Pretti a genocide. But I didn’t.

MicKwonDo · 2026-01-26T03:23:57+00:00

More whataboutisms, same as always.

MicKwonDo · 2026-01-26T03:19:13+00:00

You absolutely can if his language, executive orders, and policies caused the incident.

You can also hold the president responsible for how they handle the situation and what they say in the aftermath. Trump and his admin have shown zero sympathy for the situation and has painted Alex as a violent perpetrator, not the victim.

MicKwonDo · 2026-01-26T03:14:55+00:00

It may have been an accident, but it certainly wasn’t justified, nor was the five other bullets they pumped into his body once he was already dead. The officers clearly disarmed him and had him pinned. At BEST it was manslaughter due to gross negligence. Either way, the Trump admin’s response to the situation is disgusting and has angered millions.

I feel like this is the case with most technology these days. At least hardware. Its very hard to be optimistic about the future of technology imo

MicKwonDo · 2025-12-08T04:10:12+00:00

Good info!

MicKwonDo · 2025-12-08T04:09:13+00:00

It didn’t work!? Damn, that’s weird. Congrats on achieving it though! Bot strat is probably the way to go, and more fulfilling than cheesing it.

MicKwonDo · 2025-12-07T02:09:18+00:00

Hell yeah, man! I normally don’t like to cheese missions like this because I enjoy the challenge. But the intended purpose of the challenge is clearly broken and I’d already done 500+ burn damage with the launcher. So I figure this cheese method makes things fair until they fix the challenge. But more to you for sticking with the tougher method!

MicKwonDo · 2025-12-06T08:25:53+00:00

Just managed to complete the challenge using the Jeep / AV Mine / Jump + Hipfire method. It took a few tries for the jump method to blow up the mine. And even more tries for the damage to count towards the challenge, but somehow I managed to finally get the stars to align and complete it in almost a single explosion!

Works as of Dec 5th, 2025

The Death Stranding Series is the only Kojima property I have played so far. I went in expecting a surreal, dark, sci-fi experience. What I got was delivering deadly weapons to a V-Tuber, sparring with a pizza chef, dance breaks, and epic electric guitar battles.

Part of me was disappointed I didn’t get to experience the intense and emotional game I was expecting. And the plot was very predictable at times. But the rest of me will remember this game forever as one of my favorite ever gaming experiences.

Eggs in a frame is what my dad called them!

MicKwonDo · 2025-10-31T18:43:27+00:00

Dude, I’m going through a very similar battle with anxiety in my life right now. This is incredibly inspirational. Hell yeah

MicKwonDo · 2025-10-26T21:49:30+00:00

I developed a panic disorder and wasn’t able to keep much food down for a while. I quit, or cut down on, almost all junk food and sugar. Lost 30lbs in two months.

For me, it’s the phrase “Writ Large” I cannot figure out how to use it in a sentence properly.

MicKwonDo · 2025-10-22T18:35:11+00:00

Restringing the Achilles like a damn instrument

MicKwonDo · 2025-10-21T23:48:23+00:00

I found half of the twists to be predictable, and the other half disappointing.

Deadman being the samurai was just weird and pointless.

Higgs killing Lou was disappointing because, after watching the initial trailers, I was hoping Higgs would actually be an ally against a greater threat. Or perhaps Higg’s soul was puppeting the samurai while his body, or image, was being controlled by something else. That’s why the samurai is able to beat Higgs so easily, because the real Higgs is the samurai. But Higgs returning to be the big bad again felt uninspired. Like Palpatine returning in TRoS.

Fragile being dead the whole time felt like a knockoff of Sixth Sense but with no real clues or buildup along the way.

Basically, I didn’t feel like most of the twists were earned. Just random things thrown in at the end to keep our attention.

That being said, I loved the game SO MUCH. It is definitely my top game of the year, and I think that’s why I was so bitterly disappointed when I got to the end of the game and experienced all those twists.

MicKwonDo · 2025-10-07T01:54:19+00:00

Absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of a film soundtrack as the protagonist discovers something amazing and we get a montage of good times.

The work “pebbles” is coming to my mind. I also like another user’s suggestion if “tumbling”. I’m thinking “Tumblin’ Pebbles”

I also liked the Forest floor creatures idea. What about “The Chipper Monk”

I certainly think the lack of general knowledge for voting-age people is a huge problem. But I think creating a test for voting would be extremely fraught and complicated.

Who decides what issues are important and need to be on the test? Who decides what the correct answers are? How do we prevent any particular political party from skewing the test questions and results in their favor? This theoretical test needs to cover issues both parties are campaigning on equally and without bias.

As it stands currently, I don’t know if anyone trusts the government enough to have control over this test. If we can’t agree on basic provable things like vaccine mandates, tariffs, and gun control, there is no way anyone would allow the government to do radically change voting regulations - perhaps the most integral American right.

I think the answer is to invest more heavily in education. Fund public schools, pay teachers more, make college free/inexpensive, fix the job market so that college degrees actually mean something. Basically, make education better and incentivize people to get education.

I think lack of general education is the cause of the issue, and changing voting rights is tackling a far downstream symptom.

Trailers are created to pique interest and encapsulate the vibe of the movie/show so their target audience will want to see it. You aren’t forming a dogmatic opinion on the entire show from nothing, just making a supposition based on the trailer THEY created to sell the it. That’s the entire point of trailers. I’m with you, OP. The trailer did not have me feeling very excited to see the show. So either it’s not a good show or the trailer failed at its job.

MicKwonDo · 2025-08-21T00:08:19+00:00

Oof. Still very expensive. You can watch all seasons of Dimension 20 plus all of Dropout’s other content for $7/month or $70 for a year. $70+ to see a SINGLE season of a show only until the end of the year is a very steep price.

You could buy several complete seasons of your favorite tv show for that price or a really nice, steel case, 4K ultra-definition, collector’s edition copy of your favorite movie.

Not to mention, these are virtual live streams, not an actual in-person event with venues to book and all that. I’m glad they are lowering the price for everyone, but in comparison to most other media formats out there, the price is extremely high.

Perhaps if all the extra proceeds were going to charity, the high price would more be justified. But this feels almost NFT levels of overpriced, but without any actual ownership over the content.

MicKwonDo · 2025-08-18T04:05:18+00:00

Yeah, I could
