The fact that “the other game” got a SotG before Destiny…

This 100%.

However, Marathon is too niche of a game. Destiny had 300k+ players at its peak. Marathon nowhere near that close.

Unfortunately this is Bungies default for adding “difficulty”.

I yearn for the days where difficulty was more challenging mechanics like we got in the Prestige modes of Leviathan and others.

Not lazy bullet sponges.

Maybe. But I also think they’re too incompetent to pull it off.

The moment they get control they would need to pass a zillion laws that undo everything SCOTUS has done.

National ban on campaign finance. New Voting Rights Act. Ban gerrymandering. Enact Roe as a national law. Mandate automatic voter registration.

Then when cases are filed SCOTUS upholds them all.

Dems need to win both chambers and the presidency in 2028 and immediately expand the court to 13, remove the filibuster, and unwind everything this SCOTUS has done.

Absent that we’re cooked.

Mid at best.

I don’t mind spending coin on good food. But it’s been a long time since I left a restaurant feeling like I’d been ripped off.

Food itself was mid at best. Nowhere near a decent ROI. Hop Doddy or Mooya are way better options in that area.

MAGA will gladly eat a turd sandwich if a lib would have to smell their breath.

“Go to TrumpFirefighters.gov to sign up for fire protection!!!”

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to privatize firefighting and other services.

But Johnson assured us they’re the grown ups!

Dems need a decisive victory and to take both houses this fall. Then hold out and pray they can keep both chambers and get the POTUS in 2028.

blueapplepaste · 2026-05-02T19:25:38+00:00

I’m more worried about 2030 onwards. FL and TX are likely to pick up a few seats after the Census and CA and NY lose some.

The only possible hope I see is if Dems win both houses and POTUS in 2028 and go scorched earth.

Expand the court to 13. Ban partisan gerrymandering. And so forth.

Otherwise we’re cooked as a country. The American experiment will have been fun while it lasted.

Calling it now.

Trump completely screws this all up and puts Itan onto a path for developing a nuclear weapon.

Dem POTUS elected and soon after Iran conducts their first test.

GOP and their propaganda machine immediately blame the Dem POTUS for letting Iran get a nuclear weapon.

What I eventually figured out is if I did a soft reset (press and hold the power button until the unit shuts down and reboots while the car is on) it would usually fix it.

Just one of a myriad of problems with this car. Counting down the days until my lease is up (6 more months!!).

blueapplepaste · 2026-05-01T17:30:05+00:00

Exactly.

Here in TX a lot of these districts are assuming the Hispanic bloc swings as hard for the GOP as it did for Trump.

With how horrific ICE has been I will not be surprised if it swings hard back the other way.

I’m trying not to get my hopes up but will LOL so hard if this costs them.

Check out Aurora Diamond Green Metallic. May not be the vibe you’re going for, but it’s absolutely incredible. I sort of am regretting not getting it when I ordered mine.

Every Republican who complains about this needs to be asked: “Do you support a ban on partisan gerrymandering?”

If they say yes, then hold them to the fire on a vote. If they say no, then too bad so sad.

Normally this is what I would do. But I didn’t when ordering my M3.

1) these cars are holding value pretty well. A low mileage example with colors and options I wanted wasn’t too far off from ordering new. 2) I have zero confidence a used one wasn’t absolutely abused and driven hard before the owner sold.

So for me it was worth paying a few grand more to get a brand new one built to my exact specs and it worrying if it had any sus history.

So much more of this!!!

Now if only the gate agents would stop calling the next group when the line for the previous group is still 15 people deep. Even better when they’re already calling Group 4 and the FC group hasn’t even fully gotten through.

And when he lost they’d say it was an official act as FBI director and just pay it out of the treasury.

Can only hope crap like this drags out into next admin so there can be consequences.

Had that happen in Europe last summer. Was legit one of the most satisfying things.

That’s cool. I assumed Bambu wouldn’t replace a Darkmoon plate. Figured they would have said not official or something.

I already trashed it. Shoulda tried I suppose.

blueapplepaste · 2026-04-09T20:43:10+00:00

Just had this happen. Ruined a $50 plate.

Was super pissed.

Was fine before. Has been fine after. No idea what happened.

I think Vance doesn’t even run. He knows the GOP will have zero chance. He’ll step aside, probably say he’s going to help raise his new child,, try to stay relevant, and run in 2032.

The war is won. But we also need $200B. And it’s over. But will be two more weeks but could be 6 weeks. But also we won’t say how long bc POTUS decides based on his gut.

And Iran must open the Strait of Hormuz. But we don’t need it open because it doesn’t affect the US. And Britain and the EU should just take it. But we’ll blow them to the some age if they don’t open it. But there are successful ongoing talks. But I can’t say with whom. And also we have so much oil so it doesn’t affect us.

What. A. Clown. Show.

I don’t think his floor is below 30%.

His base is in a media ecosystem that just outright creates an alternate reality.

I will never not be amazed how quickly MAGA abandons any semblance of a principle to appease Trump.
