    I'm not unsympathetic. It's by definition a power struggle which requires that you work with people you either don't like or against people you also don't like. If you let your emotions get involved, then yeah, it will make you angry and bitter. It's about strategy, not about personal validation.

    I was too. But politics comes to find you anyway. And yeah, of course liberals can be white and rich. The people who are overwhelmingly for larger government, who get the most Federal dollars, who run the most deficits, push for authoritarian education and break up unions and tax cuts for the...

    Look, the GOP spends millions of dollars scrutinizing your life. Just so they can get paydirt on Hillary's emails or Bill's sexual indiscretion and smear them. FFS, they were letting people call Obama a secret Muslim. Why is that acceptable? The GOP hates Trump, yet half of them turn around and...

    Saying that is the easy way out. If you want an individual philosopher king who is as perfect as Jesus, then republicanism isn't for you. History is rarely decided by any single individual.

    I've lately reconsidered that. I've been persuaded that people like to be edgy and just say that Democrats are as bad as Republicans. Except it isn't true. We can't expect individuals to be perfect, but we can change the tone of the parties if we simply boot out the neocons.

    Nazism is hyperbole, but frankly, Trump is part of a worrying trend of the GOP sliding further into insanity.

    Legion Appreciation Thread

    I enjoy the grand tradition of talking to your boss fights down. Hello hello. Planescape. KOTOR 2. There's a kind of dramatic fulfillment in talking an immortal Sith into willingly surrendering his grip on life. Time has actually made me regard the whole McCarthy-era fear of communism to be a...

    The Legion Returning?

    Woops, I mean Randall Clark, not Carter. Thought I'd throw that in there because it's bothering me. I really don't trust myself to expand on it. I don't really know a lot about the culture or geography of the United States except by very broad stereotypes. And I imagine a good writer would've...

    Fair enough, I don't claim familiarity with Heidegger. And I'm sorry if I mistakenly confused your position with Heidegger. In my defense, I think you're trying to get me to take the question seriously just because Heidegger or Arthur Witherall or so on did, on your assurances that they did and...

    The Legion Returning?

    If there's a prequel, I'd much rather have one almost immediately after the bombs dropped. Think of Randall Carter from Honest Hearts and imagine you're playing somebody like him. It wouldn't necessarily be core region, but a lot of the basic Fallout and Bethesdian assumptions of the gameworld...

    Going backwards

    Oh good God. After playing Fallout 3, New Vegas was a veritable treat because the universe and storyline had actually evolved. You'll notice almost no sense of geography or history that will make sense of Fallout 3 or Fallout 4 or even directly connect the two. Remember when you were given a...

    Life after death thread

    That's just talking about teleological stuff. About consequences to your life you happen to find acceptable or desirable. And I think that's just distracting from the subject anyway. I'm talking about linguistic meaning. Like, "Am I actually communicating an idea to you that informs behavior?"...

    Anyone else hate the Nostalgia Argument?

    I certainly don't agree with it. Let me give my perspective when I was a growing gamer. There just hasn't been a seriously good big name RPG in a long while in the west. That died when Black Isle went under. I was never around for any of the Ultima stuff or the early entries of TES. So I can't...

    Xcom 2 ?

    The fast food joint where a section of the wall and sealing collapsed from plasma fire and explosives. And more than a few burning husks of cars parked outside. There's acid burns on the plastic tiling of the floor and a Sectoid corpse draped over the counter.

    It'd be nice if you didn't ignore the wider context of everything I just said. Also, it's been canon that the ingredients for healing powder are also the active ingredients of stimpacks. The precedent exists in FO2 (Myron) and in New Vegas crafting. But that's a tangent at best.

    Life after death thread

    @Gonzalez Okay dude, you need to calm down. You cannot keep linking out to other people and say that they represent your views. That guy has an editorial bias. If I wanted that other guy's opinion I'd have read it by now. I want your opinion, not his. (And frankly, Mr. Witherall isn't talking...

    It's also hard to abuse a water filter or a stimpacks to. That's not the point. And to be utterly pedantic, there's some suggestion that healing powder is a powerful depressant because it brings a feeling of sleep to your head. (Hence the lost Perception.) Refining and cultivating medicine out...
