  • You can repeat “smoke and mirrors” as many times as you want. Doesn’t change that the parties vote VERY differently. Doesn’t change that one party got me affordable healthcare when I was young when the other one basically told me to go fuck myself. Doesn’t change that one illegally attempted to overturn an election and the other didn’t. Doesn’t change that one stripped women of a federally protected human right while the other didn’t.

    There are so many examples of the parties not being the same that there’s no other way to look at your opinion than as ignorant to the extreme.



  • Speedrunners

    It’s on sale for $3 right now. Awesome 4 player competitive racing game without split screen so everyone gets maximized view. Way different than Mario Kart so it won’t be a repetitive experience for them. This is the Steam-based couch coop that’s lasted longest in my friends group.

    Tricky Towers

    Tetris game, but the catch is you build upwards to a finish line and physics play a role, so the tower can lean and collapse.

    TowerFall Ascension

    Competitive platformer shooter. No split screen. One large screen for everyone. My favorite aspect is all the options you can change to switch up the gameplay. Coop mode and PvP mode.

    Mount Your Friends

    A personal favorite of mine. Not necessarily for kids, even though I don’t think it’s anything beyond maybe PG-13. It’s hilarious. It can be pretty competitive. You can choose to build upwards or outwards. I think outwards is more fun. You can watch gameplay videos and determine if it’s appropriate for the kids in question.

    Others have pointed out games like A Way Out, the Trine series, and Split Fiction. Those are all great. But they’re longer, story-based puzzle games that take more time than you may have for them to finish. Trine allows 3 players, but the others only allow 2.






  • The SS1 remake was pretty damn good.

    The thing about remakes though is they can lose what made the original good. So while someone who never played the original might really like the remake, a die-hard that’s always liked the original may feel kind of betrayed by the remake.

    I never played SS1, so the remake was something new for me and I liked it. But I grew up with and revere SS2 as being one of the best games ever made. So I’m almost kind of glad this is just a remaster and not a remake.




  • People wanting to start 3rd parties etc, because the Democrats suck so bad.

    Great way to have Republicans in power for the rest of our lives. I can’t see how anyone who voted 3rd party in November can STILL think it was a smart decision despite immediately finding out it wasn’t.

    One of the most frustrating things in my whole life is how people simply cannot grasp that you cannot cheat code your way to voting a 3rd party presidential candidate into the Oval Office. Like, is it that difficult for people to understand that parties have to start winning locally, then getting representatives in state offices, then in the House and Senate, before a new party could even stand a snowball’s chance in Hell of winning a presidential election?

    These fools need to stop fucking around with presidential election votes and start voting for a 3rd party in their local/state elections. Totally fucking pointless to vote 3rd party for president. You’re literally just ushering in Republican presidents by doing that shit.

    As you said, it’s far more realistic to put pressure on the Democratic party to change than engage in a fantasy scenario where everyone holds hands and votes a 3rd party into power out of literally nowhere.

    But, as you can see by your downvotes, people just want what they want right now. Logic be damned.

    “Logic be damned.”

    That’ll be inscribed on America’s tombstone.



  • I couldn’t do the fetch quests and just clicking on boxes for combat.

    That’s literally all MMO’s.

    I would hope someone takes this world and updates the graphics

    They did at one point years ago. It looks a lot better than it used to. But they’ve pretty much maxed out what that engine can do. It’s not going to get better looking.

    It’s the only MMO I play largely for the lore and because it’s the largest non-procedural game world ever created and I love getting “lost” in it. But they’ve already completed the LoTR storyline and while the new areas they’re adding still look great, the stories and quests are getting pretty boring. Gameplay is getting boring too. I haven’t purchased the newest expansion and I’m not sure I’m going to. Been playing for years, so feels a little weird to just quit.

    They pissed me off when they completely re-worked the Loremaster class. So annoying to play now.
