The Exigent Duality
New Reviews and Trump Musings - 05:05 CST, 2/06/25 (Sniper)
Posted a couple of new reviews over at the 'Wharf, including for "Metro Awakening" and "Splatoon 3". Next up on the dockets are "Astro Bot" for the PlayStation 5; the "Arizona Sunshine Remake" for PSVR2; and the original "Kingdom Come: Deliverance", which I just started on the OLED Steam Deck.

I have what I think is influenza-- my sleeping schedule the past few nights has been, asleep by 8:30, wake up at 3:30. Last night it was more like, asleep by 9:00, awake at 2:30-- so I'm feeling pretty tired today. The one advantage to these early mornings is that I can get a lot done, such as writing the two aforementioned reviews.

Off topic completely, but I think Trump has a chance to be a historically good President this time around. I thought he did a good job the first time-- but it was mostly trimming around the edges, status quo. This time he's all-in on the kinds of mega ideas which define a nation: "Let's make Canada a state", "Let's take over the Panama Canal", "Let's turn the Gaza Stip into a new French Riviera", "Let's build our own iron dome", and so forth.

Big ideas! Even if they are largely for negotiating purposes, it would be interesting to see some of them implemented. And they make the Democrats look downright silly-- what have they to offer in contrast? That's why their party is floundering, with historically low approval ratings. They have baby killing, fifty genders, gay comic books for Costa Rica, and David Hogg-- yikes. Even their "call everyone a Nazi" strategy doesn't work anymore-- literally no one cares; all credibility has been lost.
