The premise here is that Trump loses but refuses to back down, attempting to forcibly claim victory. If Trump legitimately wins, there is a different path. Then…
Assuming multiple systematic failures occur simultaneously, including any of: actual voter fraud, fraudulent electors, congress refusing to certify, a captured supreme court acting in favour of Trump, or actual insurrection on or before Jan 6th.
I actually expect the US Military to step in. Every member is sworn to uphold the constitution. But if the constitution has been discarded, then I’d expect them to step in to restore it.
Failing that, the US likely fractures and we leave the Republic phase.

He cites his work as being a variant of a patch submitted by another developer, Josh Poimboeuf. It’s a team effort folks :)
Cat was caught swearing. Had to wash its mouth out with soap.
Looks at all those cats getting along instead of being super territorial. Nice kitties.

I guess teaching them to like baths early is your next task haha.
Gacha mechanics are patentable in games in Japan?
Man, patents just need to go away.
Pub owner knows how to get the cats to sit – random cardboard box lids haha
Those poor toe beans
My cat loves it when I boot up Stray.
If it’s a game I’m going to get hundreds, or sometimes thousands of hours from, then I’ll pay more. If you look at price per hour spent on entertainment, it’s hard to compare. However, you often have to wade through a bunch of shitty overpriced games to find those gems.
Okay, back to EU4 now ;)
Very true. I went in with perhaps unrealistic expectations and didn’t enjoy the gameplay loop. When I enjoy a game, I really enjoy a game, with several titles having 1000+ hours.
Someone needs to introduce Bethesda to Markov chain based storytelling if they’re going to use procedural generation. Anyway, I digress. I’m looking forward to Outer Worlds 2 ;)
Oh good, some minor regression on those graphs to (checks notes) second worst year since records.
Maybe in five years, if (and only if) they keep working on it like No Man’s Sky, then maybe Starfield might be redeemed.
But they’ve already fucked up by making the DLC paid. Until the game is playable, they should be reinvesting their original sales income. Otherwise they burn all the good will.
I’ll play devil’s avocado.
There are some genres that were effectively created by the Japanese gaming industry (Nintendo and others). Pokemon and monster hunting/battling. Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest and JRPGs. Hell, I’d even say visual novels (like Steins;Gate and others). Japan has been hugely successful at exporting these genres that were already domestically successful. And so they became the reference standards.
But if you were to look at racing games, or flight sims, or dozens (if not hundreds) of other categories, you’d see that they’ve failed to break into these genres with any significant effect. Not because they don’t have the technical skills, but rather, they don’t fall into their niche.
Cherry picking Mario and Zelda is unfair.
Damn, I actually loved that temple.
It might not be their own crash. Just a crash that snarled up traffic to drive around.
