If Europe really moves away from big tech and new trade deals are made around the US, then those gains will be short lived.

He’s hurting everyone’s wallets, there are only so many diversions and Lies you can get away with while peoples wallets are empty.

Whats amazing is he took over after Biden had more or less fixed inflation (yeah, wages were still catching up, but it was more or less solved). He was handed a golden opportunity to push his policies if he just laid off the tarrifs. Instead he’s taken a fairly solid and growing economy and decimated it in a year.

The only thing I can hope for is that some people start to recognize republicans are terrible at managing the economy.

To be honest Phil’s just done a bad job at the helm or maybe wasn’t empowered to do the things that needed to be done. Everything since the xbox360 has been weak from Microsoft, although Sony has really only held on due to some banger first party games.

Nintendo continues to understand that you need to offer something different in the console space to remain relevant. While the steam deck (and other handheld) are coming for the switch, they at least offer something unique.

I mean, at that point a lot of games are also gambling.

I mean, when has she actually done something good? Even in the article they say she votes with Trump 98% of the time (more than Rand Paul).

Too late for that now. We’re past the surplus years.

This is about “teleporting” information not physical material (if my understanding is correct)

Yeah, 8 was the last one I remember enjoying. I think I tried one of the switch versions, but the boards were really boring. The fun things I liked in 8 was that the board events changed the map/pathways a fair amount.

It’s already a market, look at all the android gaming headhelds that exist.

The biggest issue is that right now, the best phone processor doesn’t even work as well as well as a steam deck. So you’re paying $500+ to match a $300 device.

Maybe in the future the differences will narrow further as building games for ARM becomes more common which could make android support better.

Let’s be honest with ourselves combocore is really just another phrase for rhythm games, which let’s you aggregate things like guitar hero (rythmncombos) and DMC (actioncombos), as it’s all about hitting buttons at the right time interval. Surprisingly many darksouls also fall into the combocore/rythmn category - sekiro and Lies of P (with their parrying/dodging timing) which we’ll now call soulcombos.

Now we just need to start promoting this through the steam tags.

And yet I tend to like most games that fall into the “rouge lite” category. It feels too broad and yet also seems to work to classify games.

I think it may just be a bit like “RPG” or “Action” that are actually very wide categories that now have a lot of subcategories to help better explain them.

Sounds like they released them pretty quickly as they are apparently back in the US. From the article Tuckerson said “It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country.”

I tried Calibre web and Kogma.

Calibre is just bad software at this point, it’s clunky and not really designed as a server.

Kogma was fine, but a web only interface made it hit or miss. The big selling point for me with audio bookshelf was the ability to download local copies.

Luckily states control how elections are run so that’s currently just fear mongering.

However, acknowledging your concern, only about 50% of Americans even own a passport Source. While this article says only 9% don’t have direct access to their proof of citizenship, I suspect that percentage is overstated.

You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.

I haven’t tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

The only real downside I’ve run into is it’s very opinionated about folder structures around authors.

The one I’ve enjoyed the most is https://www.audiobookshelf.org/, it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).

Just for context this isn’t anything new, this is a long running issue in the US that Trump has just exacerbated.

To add to that, it’s likely every country has some elements that enfranchise or disenfranchise certain voters. Not to mention rampant propaganda.

While it might be a quote from Regan, it’s a good quote:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. It has to be fought for and defended by each generation

It’s state by state whether it’s required and/or paid time off. Additionally, just because something is in the law doesn’t mean every employer is good about it.

Except when you add in the element of access to voting. Voting in-person on a work day isn’t necessarily feasible for the average American. By enforcing in-person voting you disenfranchise the groups that are more heavily democratic (younger, working, lower/middle class).
