  1. I'm not an American and don't live in America, so this is not coming from a political bias, just from an observers perspective. I wonder if you would still be saying there was election fraud if Trump had won. Somehow, I doubt it even though the election happened under same conditions. Do even have the slightest idea just how unprofessional, disrespectful and flat out childish that narrative is? It is literally a spoiled brat whining and moaning because he didn't get his way. This would be completely ridiculous if, for example, a perspective prom queen threw a hissy fit because somebody else won the crown, so how much more ridiculous is it when Trump and his supporters are behaving this way over an election? Given they way that Trump and his supporters have behaved since they lost the election as grown men and woman, frankly they should be embarrassed. And you, the one pushing this narrative, have the balls to have dig at millennials over this? Like it's younger peoples fault when it's Trump and his supports behaving like spoiled brats? I wish that you could see just how ridiculous this looks.

  2. In Skyrim, you can join almost every guild/faction/etc., and nobody cares, even if they seem like they should conflict. But in Oblivion, you can get thrown out of factions in some situations. While that can be inconvenient, to me it makes the world feel more real, and makes choices in an open world environment feel more real as well. Thoughts?

  3. Let me make it 100% clear that from a gameplay perspective you absolutely MUST join the Mages Guild in Oblivion as quickly as humanly possible because the spell crafting and enchanting mechanics are that valuable, but I came across this interesting video illustrating some of the issues of the Mages guild in terms of lore and logic within The Elder Scrolls. The creator of the video brings up some valid points. But let's not get ahead, here's the video.

  5. This violent games cause kids to be violent agenda was started by politicians who wanted a scapegoat for their own shortcomings in managing crime and violence. Because so many non-gamers are sheep, they'll believe almost anything politicians say even when the opposite has been proven to be fact. That being said, I quite like your idea about studying gaming influence on positive lifestyle changes. Personally, I'd study the effects of gaming on developing decision making skills to see who much it benefits gamers and whether the effects are short or long-term.

  6. Please, show us all proof of election fraud. Show me where there is a lack of volunteers to keep polling locations open. Oh, you mean death threats that republicans constantly send to election workers? You are completely delusional if you think they get rid of polling places because of a lack of volunteers. That is a new one. Your ass must hurt from pulling that load out of it. Let's be specific with Texas now. The state has some major cities with Houston the 4th largest in the country. To decrease the number of polling sites because there aren't enough volunteers is either a blatant lie or an ignorant fib. You are religious right? Pray to your god on what he thinks is right about our situation in politics. Ask sincere heartfelt questions about if what you support is morally right. Pay attention to his answers. Just pray on it is all I can say. Hopefully one day we can see eye to eye. Ask God for wisdom. Pray with all you are. Don't pay attention to anybody for a little while. Just pay attention to your inner self and God. An honest prayer could actually save this country. I have found a link in Harris county which is the Houston area and how the polling sites are divided and who got more sites and who got a decreased number of sites. Explain to me why Republican districts that are dominantly white got increased polling sites, and democratic districts with diverse ethnicity got decreased polling sites. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/05/23/texas-voting-polling-restrictions/

  7. I use Google out of habit but more and more I find myself using DuckDuckGo. I think Google censors too many of my searches and I'm surprised at some of the sites I'll get when I switch to DuckDuckGo. I think recipes are about the same but things like politics, news articles, even religion can give me different hits.

  8. I'm glad the bill passed. For those who insist there was NO election fraud at all haven't been paying attention. There WAS election fraud, just not as extreme as some people say. But there is documented election fraud from the 2020 election...it's just that CNN doesn't want to air it. Increasing polling places means needing volunteers to run it. There is a lack of volunteers all over to keep polling locations open and we need to encourage the Millennials to start volunteering more to work the polls. No one is prohibiting voters from voting. Wanting secure elections is not prohibiting people from voting...unless they are illegals who shouldn't be voting. Or people who want to vote multiple times.

  9. It's already been proven beyond any question or shadow of doubt dozens of times that violence in video has no link to real world violence. At this point anyone who says otherwise is an idiot and/or looking for a scapegoat. With that being said I would be interested in studying the effect of video games on other types of behavior, more specifically in positive ways. For example could it influence your diet, encourage someone to stop smoking or drink less alcohol. If true that could be a real benefit to some people.

  10. I'd study the effects of 'violent' games on kids, and prove it once and for all that there is no correlation whatsoever between playing videogames and committing real world violence.

  11. It's kinda hard to imagine why this show needs a budget like this. The most expensive parts (I would think) are the exterior urban environments where they might need to lock off a few streets. Though not cheap (especially in current circumstances) productions do this all the time.

  12. I consider good weather replication in a video game to be about gameplay effects more than just graphics. Metal Gear Solid has handled dust, fog and especially rain brilliantly. Walking indoors from wet weather leaves wet prints that enemies react to, turns soil into mud that leaves tracks for both you and enemies, but you can also use rain to your advantage. Rain patter drowns out the sound of your movement making it harder for enemies to detect you as you sneak up on them, it's astonishing how much attention to detail they put into it.

  14. I wanted to be a zookeeper when I was 7 years old. I love being around animals and it sounded like a fun job. Well, that was until someone told me I'd have to clean up after the animals and I changed my mind from there and chose artist.

  15. Don't live beyond your means. Splurge at times, Self-Care is always vital, but be sure the bills are paid. Compare prices. Don't get the newest & shiniest 'toy' just because everybody else has it or society says to.

  16. I wanted to be an astronomer as well as an archaeologist. Even as a kid, I thought it quite odd having opposite goals lol One is for the future, the other looked to the past. But as I thought on it later in life, we have to LEARN from the past so we don't repeat the same mistakes.

  17. Movie theaters around here have shut down before this virus hit. With the advent of streaming services, cinemas took a nosedive. Not to mention kiosks that make it easy to shop at a grocery store & get a DVD for one-stop shopping. I liked the experience, that can't be beat. It's a good social time. However, I also like being able to Pause, Rewind what I'm watching as well as being more comfortable on my couch. I think if they did try to stick around, they'd have to reinvent themselves to cater today's society.

  18. Does not matter as I do not care what others think about or seek validation/approval from others. Just care about myself and my small inner circle of family and friends.
