That was kind of the critical issue going on. There was this whole movement to get some kind of course change on Israel. Biden made it clear there was a higher chance of Trump changing course on Israel. Kamala insisted she would not change course from Biden.
It really didn’t work out for their campaign.
There’s no shame in being strictly a singer. That is an ability in and of itself. Besides some songwriters don’t perform or sing, and there’s also nothing wrong with that. (Drummers and bassists in bands write songs too!)
“all magic in Harry Potter comes from the divine tree, at the beginning the tree blessed few people with its world bending power of imagination, this is how wizardry began, the tree spoke latin btw.”
It’d be right up her alley since the books nor movies allude anything whatsoever to a divine tree that spoke latin.
If the books had a divine tree that spoke latin then there’d be some framework and substance lending credibility to the explanation, which would be different.
There are whole portions of red states that currently lack OBGYNs. And the police are patrolling the roads for pregnant people that might appear to be leaving the state to see an OBGYN.
It’s been that way since 2022 though.
(Reference: Idaho.)
The status quo, indeed.
It’s acting entirely in the moment. It’s an ideologically vapid approach that is the realm of the pure grifter.
“Modern”? I don’t know.
Final Fantasy 10 was the last game that fit the ‘traditional’ turn based (active or not) gameplay. Since then there’s been less consistency between iterations.
Final Fantasy 11 and 14 are MMORPGs and are just fundamentally different games as a result. The latest is essentially Devil May Cry gameplay.
A lot of people enjoyed DMC and DMC is not inherently bad, but it may not be what people expect.
But the spinoffs using the Final Fantasy name have always been pretty damn hit or miss. (Compare Mystic Quest to Tactics.) This just now applies to the whole series.
I know it is likely just the nostalgia, but the PS1 startup sounds really were the best.
It’s $70. There has been little appetite for $60 games as of late, but from what it sounds like Avowed at least has $70 bucks worth of time and stuff. Whereas many $60 titles aren’t worth their sale prices–its not a high bar.
A $40 or less Avowed on sale next year will do well I predict.
I went to a wedding where they played Bittersweet Symphony as she walked down the aisle.
It always felt slightly offputting.
…And then the groom’s mom made a speech about how love was like a dog, which had some sweet sentiments about loyalty in there. But also… vaguely shady.
I prefer me the multiplayer environment of Fromsoft games where it’s just absolute degeneracy and your own damn pride on the line. Where the sweat and the stupid blurs.
Americans have had to invent novel terms to avoid using the ‘s’ or ‘c’ word with politics. ‘Mutual aid’ is a term usually used to refer tk grassroots organizing of communities to cover basic needs like food and medicine.
Referring to a common internet scam as ‘mutual aid’ is doing more work to smear the term than anything.
I didn’t see the original comment nor do I need to, but ethnic nationalism, the ‘blood and soil’ kind of nationalism, seeks to forge nationality into the same framework as race. Approaching nation states from this perspective is effectively racist, inherently so.
This is compared to civic nationalism where commitment to national values matters. So one could argue that without clarification it is a stretch, but at the same time… it’s usually pretty clear which version is meant.
Natural Selection was a quality one.
When I was in fisheries the tuna boats would bring the haul of frozen tuna into port where they’d be weighed, counted, and transferred to a cannery also in port.
A lot were fileted and cut right there too, so not all was straight to can.
Now a lot of the cans stayed fairly together by shipment. So I imagine where a lot code was split across separate pallets or shipments might a single fish be sent to different locations in can form. So I would wager the ‘rest’ of the tuna is at least on the shelf next to… itself.
As far as waste though? Some companies are super diligent about their waste streams. Fish meals and such have resale value. Others leave large amounts of parts and material in their shop floors and just power wash it back into the marine waters even while being fined and penalized by regulators. So mileage varies there.
Lula isn’t feckless, which goes a long way.
Whatever is declared looks like it’s going to be ‘Oops all insurgency!’
The entire world betrayed Poland. The Allied powers didn’t do anything for months. Hell the British and French actually put more effort into helping Finland against the USSR than help Poland against the Third Reich.
The packmule in Dungeon Siege was a good integrated inventory mechanic.
A good game knows to explain game mechanics with lore. Games that break the 4th wall and by knowing they’re games tend to struggle to be immersive. It can really obliterate environmental storytelling too.
Basketball diplomacy builds good will.
