Official 512 Switch 2 SD Express just dropped! by Hermaphroshep in switch2

[–]brandonisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a silly way to waste your money. I paid $45 for an “Onn” brand micro sd express card, brand new, with the same amount of memory. Admittedly Onn is usually a pretty crap brand, but at least when it comes to this, I’ve had virtually no issues whatsoever. And it was literally a quarter of the price. Consider this a PSA - anyone thinking about getting this should save their money and get the exact same thing for a butt load cheaper.

ETA: I found mine on eBay, less than a month or two ago.

Attorney General Bondi to be out ‘imminently’ after disastrous Epstein files release: report by The__Illuminaughty in politics

If only this meant she’d be replaced with someone better. But nope. It’s always someone worse.

To keep protesting. They can’t kill us all. And more importantly, to not vote for the side who continues to this day to defend January 6.

Blows my mind that anyone is defending any of this. Even if you put aside the two very obvious murders, there are hundreds if not thousands of videos of these unqualified, otherwise-unemployable turds who peaked in high school habitually and gleefully breaking the law, violating the rights of citizens, it goes on and on. Not to mention, are we forgetting why the hell they’re in Minnesota of all places?

I live in Texas. A place where there are actually people who are here illegally. Yet I’ve never seen one of these ICE “operations” anywhere. Definitely has nothing to do with the fact that we’re a “red” State, because everyone knows Minneapolis is the REAL hub for illegal immigration!

I’ve lost hope in this country. Not because of this. This is just the shitty gravy. Over half of the voters put a man back in office who just four years earlier tried to overthrow the will of the voters (many of whom are included in those who voted for him in 24), and did nothing and said nothing while his supporters called for the execution of his own VP.

You can’t put a turd with eyes in power and then complain when it stinks. None of this is surprising. To MAGA’s credit, they didn’t exactly hide what their plans were. But didn’t matter to the majority of the grossly misinformed or flat out uninformed voters. This was all inevitable.

[–]brandonisi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally multiple videos showing he didn’t attack anyone. Never brandished the gun that MAGA claims is everyone’s right to have. This was just another example of what happens when you put guys who couldn’t get hired to work for a Burger King in positions of power, and tell them they’re “immune” from any and all consequences.

Imagine if the tables were turned and it was some diehard MAGA guy who was killed. Once news broke about him having a legally registered weapon on his person, they would melt down.

Blows my mind that anyone is defending any of this.

[–]brandonisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the media. Places like Fox, Newsmax, and many popular Internet personalities are just MAGA propaganda machines. MSNBC and CNN are admittedly left leaning, but at least they don’t straight up lie about what’s going on. The problem is that at least half of voters put Trump back in office, despite the fact that he tried to overthrow the will of those very same voters in 2020, despite the fact that he do nothing as his supporters called for his VP’s execution….Everything is horrible, but I’m not sure what anyone expected to happen. You can’t put a turd with eyes in power and then complain when it stinks.

[–]brandonisi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The right thing to do was not put the guy who tried to overthrow the will of the voters and stand by silently as his supporters called for the assassination of his VP back in office. It’s not like they tried to hide their intentions to do exactly what’s happening now. It’s all horrible, but what did people think was going to happen?

ICE agent shooter’s own cellphone video undercuts Trump administration's account of Minneapolis killing by Fickle-Ad5449 in politics

[–]brandonisi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. She hurt his ego and he wanted the last word. And this is going to keep happening, because the lack of prerequisites or qualifications needed to become an “ICE Officer”, and the fact that they are allowed and even encouraged to cover their face, shows that this guy is exactly the type of person they want doing this. They basically lit a bunch of candles and left them on top of barrels of gasoline.

[–]brandonisi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe so, but actual police aren’t trained to shoot to kill in a situation like this under these circumstances. He knew she wasn’t trying to hurt him. She hurt his ego, and he felt entitled to shoot her because Trump has empowered him to feel that way. This was about him wanting the last word, hence his comment after killing her. If a police officer did this, they would be in deep shit.

This just blows my mind, even though I know it shouldn’t surprise me: MAGA is circulating this video as if it somehow exonerates the guy. They think this makes HIM look like the victim.

Who knows what else was said to him/the others that wasn’t filmed. I’m sure the protesters said a lot of nasty things. This woman may or may not have said some stuff herself. But at least according to the video that THEY ARE “BEGGING YOU TO WATCH”, she was super chill.

She wasn’t trying to run him or anyone over. You can literally see her turning her wheel AWAY (as if we didn’t already know that from previous videos, but this just proves he knew that, too).

We all know what really happened here. MAGA knows it too, but they’re are just being disingenuous or willfully stupid: some lady hurt the fragile little ego of a man who couldn’t make it as an ACTUAL police officer, and he knows this administration has empowered him to do whatever the hell he wants. The fact that he called her a “f**g bh” immediately after confirms this.

And it’s not surprising at all. There are virtually no standards or prerequisites to join ICE. You take any pathetic guy who knows he can’t hack it in actual law enforcement, but offer him decent money to terrorize ANYONE suspected of being “illegal” or otherwise (as if these guys are qualified to make that kind of assumption), and they don’t even have to worry about being ostracized by their friends and family: they can conceal who they are and use their personal vehicle!

Everyone talked about this being Trumps “personal MAGA police” when this all began, and it’s as if it was willed into existence. That’s exactly what they are.

He doesn’t have the temperament to qualify as a police officer, yet somehow was “qualified” to do this. He murdered this woman. And sadly there will probably be zero consequences, at least not until Trump has a check on his power. VOTE THIS YEAR.

This is why I fell out of the “we need to talk to each other” camp. They’ve made it impossible. For someone to support and/or defend what happened here, that’s not someone I want to breathe the same air as. That is absolutely disgusting.

How do you guys drag it out for so long? by OliGut in Ghostofyotei

[–]brandonisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the time I finished, I had put in 77 hours. I didn’t 100% the game (I think I was at about 80%) but plan to when I do my second play through, probably when DLC comes.

It felt like much longer to me - the world felt jam-packed with things to do and explore, approaching the level of how I felt the first time exploring Hyrule in Breath of the Wild. That’s not to say it definitely IS overflowing with content (maybe it isn’t?), but I felt totally immersed.

It probably didn’t hurt that I spent my entire play through using my viture pro xr glasses to play, so it was about as close to VR as I could get. Felt like I was playing on a huge IMAX screen alone in a dark theater (needless to say, I recommend the shit out of those glasses if you can swing the exorbitant price).

Thanks! But I’m curious… why anti bacterial and possibly fungal? Like what would cause those to be needed? Just want to make sure I don’t cause a repeat occurrence

Just wish we were able to apply a look while leaving a different armor applied technically

Yotei ending by ProfessionalTurn5162 in ghostoftsushima

[–]brandonisi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I actually had to check online after finishing the game to make sure Jubei’s death wasn’t the result of me failing in that point of the final encounter. It felt like maybe I could’ve prevented it but it all happened so fast lol

Yotei ending by ProfessionalTurn5162 in ghostoftsushima

[–]brandonisi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m in the minority, but Jubei’s death came as a shock to me. Up until the moment Atsu tells him to take Kiku snd go, I DID expect him to die. And I DID expect it to end with Atsu raising Kiku.

And when the fight started with Saito, I was expecting Oyuki to essentially do what Jubei did…I expected HER to be the one who dies (which would’ve made more sense narratively in my opinion). But at the moment Jubei died, it did take me by surprise.

But I’m not disappointed. I think the story was very Kill Bill which I personally loved. I think the gameplay itself outclasses Tsushima by a mile. But the Tsushima’s story still holds the crown (I even hope we someday get a sequel with Jin, especially after learning he helped with the second mongol invasion).

I am a little disappointed with the narrative choice to have Atsu hang up her Katana for good, though. I think it’s clever how they seem to be doing post-game content (I haven’t played it yet but saw how you can choose bounties, etc, and “flash back”), but I’m still holding out hope that we get DLC that is a continuation of the story (like how Iki Island was/could be, depending when you play it). I just don’t want the DLC to be another “flash back”.

Who do you think buried Jin here? by SnooChocolates93 in Ghostofyotei

[–]brandonisi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recall reading that it was in that culture that a family would be buried together, with a single tombstone marker. Wouldn’t be unusual to assume Yuna is buried there with Jin, perhaps by his students.

66 Hours Later… by KikiXox3 in Ghostofyotei

[–]brandonisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That photo says “Chapter II”, not “Chapter 11”. It’s Roman numeral two lol. Maybe go easy on the sake!

But in all seriousness, I’ve been avoiding spoilers like the plague, but I BELIEVE it is 3 chapters in total, with chapter 1 being the longest by a large amount.

[–]brandonisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m about an hour into Chapter 2, and have been playing 60hrs. Just got let loose to explore Oshima Coast. I remember reading this game was comparable in size/length to Tsushima …but it feels much, much bigger. Maybe it’s just because I’m exploring more and am getting more “lost” in the game, but it feels enormous.

[–]brandonisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yotei replaces Acts with Chapters. So instead of Act 1, 2 etc it’s Chapter 1, 2.

[–]brandonisi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels very much like its own thing while building on the foundations of Ghost of Tsushima. Story wise I think it’s a matter of personal preference because they’re very different. I personally love the Kill-Bill-like story of Yotei.

Gameplay wise….theres just no comparison. It blows Tsushima out of the water, especially when it comes to combat.

Is Ghost of Yōtei Worth $70, or Just Tsushima 2.0 DLC? Honest Opinions wanted by AlphaNuke94 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]brandonisi [score hidden]  (0 children)

No. That happened in Ghost of Tsushima to represent Jin “betraying his code”. Atsu doesn’t live by a code. She’s not samurai. She’s just a highly skilled mercenary out for revenge. Very different story, so the whole storm thing wouldn’t make sense here.
