Kinda seems misleading considering they said they need 7 mil copies sold to break even and 6 months after release it had sold 11 million. Blaming the layoffs on this seems like a transparent misdirection to make people think they lost money here. They want to spend less money, and I get that from a business standpoint, but it seems like they’re looking for reasons to make people accept worse looking games. I don’t really play high graphics games, but if they start decreasing the graphics budget I expect to see a decrease in cost. Don’t pay the same for less.

I agree with the other comments saying it’s about fun and not graphics, but this seems to have been published to get people to expect worse graphics regardless of fun.

I have said time and time again that it’s not the voters fault, it’s the campaigns fault, but my gosh are people upsetting. I’d prefer someone not know my community exists than show up just to tout harmful policies. Like, how is stepping foot in a building just to burn it down showing you care about the people there? I’m so saddened by the whole situation.

Here’s a clip of an undecided voter talking about their politics and it makes me feel completely helpless (it’s a crowd work clip, but it’s just depressing): https://youtu.be/KTlhX0BkzGY

Thanks for that. The site doesn’t load for me with my current settings, so I figured it was more of this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-calls-abolishing-debt-ceiling-rcna184820

I’m only stating what the facts are. Often as it relates to law “lift” has an alternative meaning of to remove. Sometimes you see it with “lifting a ban” or “lifting restrictions”.

I don’t think having that limit realistically affects much other than government employees having to work unpaid for a while, but it is an area I feel like a compelling case could be made either way.

A limit increase is different from lifting the limit. The wording is admittedly quite similar, but lifting means removing completely. So this whole song and dance never happens again.

Nah, they already got their money by then. Their trades go through first then everyone else’s? And prereporting trades is ripe for stock manipulation. They should not be able to personally manage a portfolio and imho insider trading should carry hefty corruption penalties for congress.

Biden, a white man, only stepped down because his own numbers showed him losing terribly too. The dems have lost the plot and are not speaking to (both in person and as a platform) their base.

I’m a woman, and though I agree that the undertones came off that way, the reality is that I agree with the comment. Cori and AOC don’t come off as fake. Plenty of other women don’t. Two things can be true at once. Women can be held to a higher standard, and some women can fall below the standard set for men. Voters always talk about how Trump is relatable and an outsider, and these women do not come off as relatable and definitely come off as insiders. It’s possible that a man would be viewed less negatively than them, but if that’s the case we need to either only run men (if we want to actually win), or be honest about the “likability” of our female candidates. Unfortunately, running doomed candidates is not actually gonna move the needle on this one, at least not in our favor.
