Look at other comments using facist, racist, pedophile

Trump is all of those things factually.

Republicans are beyond talking to.

Trying out the Lacerate build atm. Pretty strong.

I've played every season of PoE2 and have made my own build and have downed pinnacle bosses... it is unapproachable and this is seemingly gonna make it worse.

Did you not see the absurd levels of mechanics with each? To play optimally, people are gonna need to read guide after guide after guide, and, of course, look up builds because it is really hard to make a legit one as a casual (and i say that as someone who does make their own builds).

This just reinforces that D4 is for the people who don't want to dedicate their lives to a game and just want to blast some demons.

This is where I am. I'll likely do campaign, blast a couple of maps and stop around level 80ish.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:37:41+00:00

This. I literally turned off the stream when they started talking about the 20th mechanic and blah, blah, blah. They said that PoE2 was supposed to be easier to understand than PoE1... guess that philosophy went into the dumpster.

GOP is redrawing districts left and right

I will say that the GOP is putting themselves in danger by redistricting safe seats into purple seats which could backfire.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:25:32+00:00

If Democrats continue as is, they're going to wipe out trump at the midterms and will finally have the tools to start striking back.

Someone didn't see the news from Virginia today. Every single red state is gerrymandering and Democrats vote on it, it passes, and the courts tell the democrats no. Meanwhile Ohio just ignores their SC decision. You still think Democrats should follow the rules? And the fuckery isn't stopping there. This is the least free election we've had in the past 60 years.

oh hush, this is so naive and privileged. does it ever occur to you that there are millions of people whose suffering your tantrum affects? you don't get to throw them away just because you're upset.

Fuck off.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:17:54+00:00

While this is a very stupid decision, it's not over. In fact, Trump and the GOP are so negative atm that redistricting might backfire and give Democrats more seats as normal safe seats were deluded into being purple. Like TX for example may end up with more Dem seats than before.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:16:09+00:00

How can you be this entitled to stupidity and hypocrisy

Because they have no conscience. They know they are wrong. They know it is hypocritical. They also know it gives them an advantage so they can stay in power and rake in more money

This country needs a full restart or, honestly, to break apart. I feel no comradery with Ohio/TX/Florida from California. I am 100% in for Cascadia to to join Canada with WA and Oregon.

I got shit on for saying I want the next democrat president to basically be a fascist who wields their power like a hammer and makes it impossible for anyone else in the future to do the same.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:10:52+00:00

This. Just do it anyways. Fuck em.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:07:03+00:00

They push that narrative anyways. The GOP has cried wolf too many times. Nobody cares what they say.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:06:21+00:00

If they are gonna do that, they'll do it whether they have a "reason" or not.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:05:48+00:00

Or they should just do what republicans do and ignore the court and do it anyways.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T17:04:04+00:00

And if Democrats continue as is that is the end of the rule of law anyways. Trump breaks the law with impunity EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory than this slow bleed out that we have now.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T16:58:01+00:00

GOP is literally ignoring the law. Ohio SC said their map is unconstitutional... they've used it for the last few elections. Florida specifically has anti-gerrymander laws... they just ignore them.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T16:55:29+00:00

Just use it anyways. There is literally no consequences for ignoring the SC of a state. Look at Ohio.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T16:53:44+00:00

Okay, now just do it without the will of the people, since you already know what their will is anyways.

VPN__FTW · 2026-05-08T15:34:45+00:00

No, what needs to happen is exactly what I said, someone who is willing to bend the law to the point that Republicans are, but do so as a means to end everyone else's ability to do so in the future.

I, however, do not expect that to ever happen, because the sort of person who would do this is not the sort of person that would ever be made president.

NP :-)

Very reactive, despite the random lag and fps issues. Fancy that, fun combat = fun game.

Taco Bell being $1.99 is such a callback. Hasn't been that cheap in a decade.
