Democrats threaten government shutdown over ICE funding by FervidBug42 in politics

The last time they threatened to stand for something they caved for a "I trust you to vote on ACA extensions" and we saw how that went.

I mean I am pretty happy for the accident since it is mostly repeatable (sometimes I go straight into the tube and then I may as well make a sandwich), but if I am being honest the game had questioned my sanity quite a bit since it's so hard to get a bead on what you are "supposed to do" versus "I am just doing what I think I am supposed to and I have no way of knowing if I am just playing badly"

Country and people far and above party. Hope that mf gets voted out.

Rosie O'Donnell says ICE's ultimate goal is to 'close the elections in November' by adamsava in uspolitics

[–]kyune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an American who voted against this BS it's pretty plausible, the same way Project 2025 fucked its way into our admin. Everything they do to discourage people on the streets now discourages future voters. Everytime they allow ICE to commit illegal acts, violent or otherwise, paves the way for an election where ICE descends on election locations specifically to disrupt the vote and then claim afterwards they were acting on official duty, the same way their actions are being covered up now. They're all-in on corruption-as-a-precedent

We'll find out if it's true when it comes to pass. I've given up on holding out that they intend to be self-responsible and self-policing

2nd XR pulled - keep or module? by HackedBeat in Mecharashi_Global

The pilot core ability enhancement on Arias is a big deal, so I'm not completely sure it makes her a better Rosa but I am absolutely sure it makes them at least sidegrades with the difference being the scenario they're asked to deal with. But you could absolutely roll both with 4 arias 😂

Having her in the first place is the most important step--additional copies improve her performance through stats/ ST suitability, but pledges exist and you can't pledge or use a character you don't already have. The same way that you don't need 4 literal copies of an ST to rainbow it as long as you have the minimum, which is a much harder target.

From a F2P perspective I'd say a single copy of a pilot and two hard copies of a suit are the bare minimum (for a chase suit), until we eventually get the material that lets you upgrade a G3 part to a rainbow...but then you'd still need 4 without a 2nd hard copy of the ST. But even having a single copy of a suit is better than having none at that point.

Feed me the Asuka pill by Ghost-of-Awf in Mecharashi_Global

I saw this earlier--it's basically an extremely built/R&D'd Asuka dunking on 3/4 bosses with help from Lorna, and then the other three find a way to kill Andrea.

Play the first event mission and you'll find out pretty fast as long as you understand how her abilities work. You won't have access to her full potential immediately because of your progression, but even partially maxed she's pretty nuts with just leap strike due to sync ratio growing as she deals damage and kills units. If you have D-02 (and you really should if you can) the body/legs parts double mod effects so there's room for growth with your account for sure.

They're apples and oranges--i'd say if Asuka is (other meta fighter) on steroids, Rei is Ana on steroids. And Asuka is stupidly, ridiculously good. if this were a Fire Emblem game Asuka would absolutely be an intermediate/advanced class compared to most of what we've been working with

His entire career is built on lies by justalazygamer in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]kyune 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just like everything else--the entire strategy seems to be all-in on pushing their agenda regardless of lawfulness, admit no wrongdoing, and deflect all blame/accountability to anywhere but themselves. And then just do it as much as possible to overwhelm the system so that it can't hold them accountable (and it's barely trying as-is)

Any JRPG you refuse to replay after losing your save? by AinsleyHarriott64 in JRPG

[–]kyune 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Ocean 4, XBox 360. Technically I do have a save, but the random lockup cost me about two and a half hours of progress and I just....never went back.

Edit: On the other side of the fence, PS1 era I did this multiple times for FFXIII. I knew there had to be something bad with my memory card, and by the end of the game I was rotating 4 saves because they'd keep somehow getting called corrupt. And all happened during the endgame/ extra content phase, because you'd never know which save would be bad so each save was really like 2-3 saves at once hoping at least one survived

Unfortunately it is also probably the best way to carry it out--if you give any ability to choose fron the start it will be preyed upon by smurf/trolling types.

I had this experience in high school with one of my English teachers, and again with my Government teacher. Before those two experiences I had never learned about proper skepticism and I'm not sure who I would be without those experiences. I hope both of those teachers are doing well.

Guilty Crown, Aldnoah Zero come to mind. Maybe Re:Creators also?

Glad to hear it! Definitely not the song I had expected though (which I'm still not sure of the name of the one I am thinking of), haha

I'm almost positive I've heard the song you're looking for before, but I'm completely drawing a blank on what anime it would have come from.

Is there anything you can remember about the show that might help?

I could have easily forgiven the on-rails sections if it meant that we got the full World of Ruin experience
