The Exigent Duality
Almost Here - 06:34 CST, 3/02/22 (Sniper)
The whole reason I bought a PlayStation 5 at launch was in anticipation of this-- which comes out in two days! The best thing about the game is that it retains its trademark Japanese quirkiness-- just look at those NPC names and character portraits! Once upon a time the "Pro Evolution Soccer" series was the football-equivalent, with goofy menu music and lots of Engrishey elements-- but morphed into a totally Westernized "FIFA" clone, which incidentally is why it died in popularity: what was its differentiating factor anymore? Good to see "Gran Turismo" is staying true to its character. I wish more Japanese developers would go back to their roots: almost everything they produce feels very Westernized these days.

Changing gears, Creepy Joe has been such an unbelievable-- and I mean that word, to the full extent-- disaster that he even makes a lot of the RINOs quoted here sound like voices of reason! That's how low the bar is. How about evacuating Afghanistan by removing the soldiers, but leaving behind all the civilians and military equipment? How about stopping domestic oil production, importing replacement oil from Russia, then having Russia invade Ukraine shortly after? How about wishing a winter of death on families who wouldn't get the clot shots, then telling everyone not to see the WuFlu as a divisive issue?
