It's disheartening to see these folks with extremist views and conspiratorial beliefs make it into government. I can understand some people being frustrated with the NDP government, but to vote this extremist seems like a knee-jerk overreaction. Honestly, we need proportional representation to avoid this kind of polarization before it results in even more extremist folks making it into office.

It's funny how Edge got lambasted for it when they introduced that feature, but it's legitimately super helpful and non-invasive.

Such a shame Jon went off the deep end and killed the band in the process. Iced Earth used to be one of my favorite bands, but I haven't listened to them any more since the insurrection.

That said, in hindsight, the signs were there for a long time. It's just that I didn't expect him to go so far down the rabbit hole.

Poltava part 2 - this time it's personal.

I sold mine one recently and went with a HTV Vive Cosmos pro so I can keep using my Windows specific VR games. Sucks to have them kill my less than 1 year old Christmas gift, but it didn't really feel like there was much that I could do about it.

Yeah, I'm gonna go and suggest the GST vacation is probably a "costly political gimmick". Honestly, I'm with her on not signing off on that.

I'll be looking forward to the next disinformation campaign demonizing a system the rest of the world collectively uses to great success because "it doesn't work here".

If only that era of movies hadn't spawned a TV Trope that sadly coloured these folks' perceptions on strong, independent, rough and tumble women: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VasquezAlwaysDies

There is an argument to be made that neither Dagoth Ur not the tribunal are strictly speaking "gods" by Elder Scrolls' definitions. They have godlike powers thanks to the heart, but they are referred to as false gods by all the Deadric gods you interact with.

Heck, the main quest is basically Azura using you as her vessel to expose the falsity of the Tribunal's claim to godhood.

Although, if you go one level deeper and you buy into Vivec actually achieving Chim, then it could be argued he is at least as godlike as Talos (who used his understanding of Chim to retcon the actual history of Tamriel). Which is another can of worms, because his godhood is also questioned and the whole reason his worship was outlawed in the white-gold concordant....

Oh Elder Scrolls lore, how I love your convoluted nature.

This is exactly the kind of long form content I love watching. Thanks for sharing!

To some extent the majority of JRPGs fit into this trope. It's a long running joke that it isn't a JRPG if you don't end up fighting a god with the power of friendship.

Not sure why your getting downvoted, this is a pretty legit question.
