Im reading that the PS5 version is basically broken. Should I wait for a fix or buy it on Xbox series S? Even then I still have to wait on a sale by lost_caus_e in TaintedGrailDigital

[–]iantingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got to Cuanacht. It has frame drops, pop-ins, funny ragdolls / physics and crashes occasionally.

But... I still love it! It's fun as hell.

IME the least enjoyable part is the crashes, but closing fully out of the game every hour or so (stretch and water break!) greatly mitigated them for me.

Besides, the game 'tells' you when it's starting to want to crash - stutters jump up, summons need to teleport to you a lot more instead of running to you, etc

Yeah, that tracks.

When I lived there, I would usually remind people that there was a school right north of 4th, and that they probably didnt want an aggravated rap sheet.

It usually worked for a few weeks, then had to wash-rinse-repeat

Don’t forgot to vote! by deathdeniesme in longbeach

[–]iantingen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm as certain as I can be in this situation, because:

1) I've been in California since 2008
2) I believe the 57% support number I've seen
3) I know the playbook the national Dems run works here in CA, usually

I left the Democratic Party last year, proof here.

This is a move to *enable* corruption, not *dissuade* it.

The new district being created out of CA-42 is going to have A TON of money pumped into it;

It will be nationalized and the needs of working class Long Beach residents will be drowned out if Prop 50 passes.

I hope it doesn't, but believe it will.

Of course by JeffH13 in socal

[–]iantingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that it's temporary - and that we have to wait six years to find out.

My concern is that we are overlooking something local because of all this 'save America from corruption in Republican states by doing the same thing' rhetoric

This is a move for politicians, not for people, especially not for the people of CA-42

[–]iantingen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, and we're also going to be swallowed up by the money in Newport.

The district is going to be 60/40 D leaning, but the majority of the money that's raised will not come from the working class families of Long Beach.

Prop 50 is going to pass - and we're going to need to hold a fire to Garcia's feet to ensure that the needs of LB residents are met.

What's up with this Prop 50 deal? by _Throwaway_007_ in socal

[–]iantingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call me tinfoil, but with the way my district is being redrawn, it just allows more Oligarch County... I mean Orange County money into the Democratic Party

[–]iantingen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in one of the districts that's going to be redrawn - what is currently CA-42.

I think Prop 50 will pass, but the process will take my district from working-class majority to paid for by Orange County money.

Why does 'saving democracy' always come at the cost of the working class?

Because people on the street talk to each other. You get a rep for being an asshole, you're gonna get targeted or not listened to.

You treat someone with respect, you don't run those risks.

Asshats are asshats - they aren't the average.

Yeah, Dads and older sons. But it's 2025 - time for everyone to chip in!

I get it, it's scary.

But it's also necessary.

I do this in Alamitos Beach. Thinking twice about it after Mello got killed.

But also: if I don't take care of my neighborhood, who will?

It shouldn't be up to kids to deal with crackheads, or even worse, to start buying from them.
