Video Game nerds

I don’t play as much as I use to. Mainly because I feel bad for wasting away a hundred hours playing a game, when I could be doing something else. My main genre is rps/action rpgs.

Early access for Path of Exile 2 comes out in a couple weeks. That game looks bad ass. Looks like everything Diablo 4 should have been. Played the shit out of The original Path of Exile years ago. I’m probably going to pull the trigger on this one. I don’t feel as bad about playing a game in the winter when it’s cold and dark and nothing to do anyway.

The Day After (1983)

Anyone on here remember this film? It's cheesy to watch now in a lot of ways, but the Cold War fear, tension and the nightmare of WW3 are well depicted. I vaguely remembering watching this when I was young and being scared as hell. It's saddening that the threat of complete worldwide annihilation looms now as much as it did then.

What is the likelihood that Biden steps down early?

I wouldn’t bet money on it happening, but it wouldn’t completely surprise me either.

Harris would get to be the first female POTUS, if only for a week or so. And she could issue Joe an 11-year blanket pardon like the one he gave Hunter. That would effectively close the door on any investigations into any improprieties that may have occurred in Ukraine or China and Joe can live out his twilight years free from legal hassles.

Israel launches dozens of airstrikes on Syria, draws U.N. condemnation

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Tuesday that Israel launched dozens of strikes across Syria in recent days. The attacks drew sharp condemnation from U.N. Special Envoy Geir Pedersen, who called for a halt to the strikes.

“We are continuing to see Israeli movements and bombardments into Syrian territory. This needs to stop,” Pedersen said.

Katz said the Israeli navy “successfully destroyed the Syrian fleet” overnight. He added that he, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had directed the Israeli military to establish a “sterile defense zone” in southern Syria to “prevent the entrenchment and organization of terror” there.
The strikes, which were reported Monday and Tuesday in the northeast and around the capital, Damascus, targeted Syrian military installations, including multiple airports and a possible chemical weapons facility, according to two Western officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive security matter.



The IDF is “not involved in what’s happening in Syria internally,” said Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani, an Israel Defense Forces spokesman, adding that Israel’s interest lies in “protecting our borders and the security of our civilians.”
Israel also deployed troops across the Syrian border, beyond a U.N.-monitored buffer zone, for the first time since the official end of the Yom Kippur War in 1974. The deployment follows the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s regime to rebel forces.

Here’s what else to know​

  • Netanyahu testified at his corruption trial Tuesday, becoming the country’s first sitting leader to take the stand as a criminal defendant.
  • The leader of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the rebel group that led the charge to oust Assad last week, pledged in a statement Tuesday to “hold accountable” members of Assad’s regime who were “involved in torturing the Syrian people.”
  • Mohammed al-Bashir, Syria’s newly appointed caretaker prime minister, will run a transitional government until March 1, he said in remarks Tuesday. He previously led the rebels’ civilian government.
  • A member of Russia’s parliament called for Assad, who is now in Russia, to be given citizenship. “Russia treats all its allies humanely, even if they are defeated,” said Alexei Zhuravlyov.
  • The U.S. Justice Department has leveled war crimes charges against two men who it said served as high-ranking officials under Assad. The DOJ said Jamil Hassan and Abdul Salam Mahmoud, who remain at large, engaged “in a conspiracy to commit cruel and inhuman treatment of civilian detainees, including U.S. citizens,” during Syria’s decade-long civil war.

Longtime Democrat Texas Judge Switches Parties: “The Radicalization of the National Democrats Pushed Me Away a Long Time Ago” (Video)​

Someone broke into Joe Burrow’s home last night

Burrow is the latest high profile athlete to have his home burglarized while he was known to be out of town for a game. First it was Kelce and Mahomes. Last night someone burglarized Burrow’s house while he was in Texas to play the Cowboys on MNF.

A swimsuit model named Olivia Ponton arrived at the home to find a shattered bedroom window and the room ransacked. She immediately called her mother, who called 911, and now police are investigating to see if this is some sort of organize crime ring.

MSNBC’s O'Donnell, Psaki and Wagner hit all-time viewership lows despite busy news week

It's happening across the board, left wing media shows are taking a dump in the ratings, nobody but the brain dead even tune in.

A trio of MSNBC programs hit all-time viewership lows last week as the network continues to struggle on the heels of President-elect Donald Trump’s Election Day victory.

"Alex Wagner Tonight," "Inside with Jen Psaki" and "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" all hit rock bottom last week despite a busy news cycle that included the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the ensuing manhunt for his killer, a slew of news related to Trump’s Cabinet picks, the fallout from President Biden announcing he would pardon his son, Hunter, and Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad being ousted from power.

"Alex Wagner Tonight," which airs during Rachel Maddow’s 9 p.m. ET timeslot on Tuesday through Friday because "The Rachel Maddow Show" only airs on Mondays, averaged only 595,000 total viewers during the week of December 2 for its lowest-rated week since the show’s 2022 debut.
"Inside with Jen Psaki" averaged only 651,000 total viewers for the program’s smallest weekly audience since it launched last year when Psaki famously ditched her gig as Biden’s first press secretary to join MSNBC.

"The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" managed more total viewers than it had last week, but the program hit an all-time low among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54. "The Last Word" averaged only 61,000 demo viewers last week for its smallest audience in the critical measurable since the show launched in 2010.

The ratings lows come as Comcast recently announced it would spin off NBCUniversal cable assets, including MSNBC, into a separate company that will not be tied to NBC News. As a result, the fate of shared resources and even the cable network's name and editorial direction are in question.

Meanwhile, "Morning Joe" co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski angered many viewers last month when they admitted they met face-to-face with Trump after spending years insisting he was a "fascist" and an overall threat to democracy.

Trump Media shares surge up to 20% after Trump rally in New York City​


Shares of Donald Trump’s social media company rocketed up more than 20% Monday, on the heels of the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign rally in New York City.

Trump Media stock rose above $46.80 per share in intraday trading, eclipsing its recent peak in mid-July, when the company’s market value soared after Trump was nearly assassinated at a rally in Pennsylvania.

That surge was followed by a major sell-off that hit bottom in late September, when DJT stock scraped below $12 a share.

But the Truth Social operator recovered all of those losses in October, as the election between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, entered its final weeks.
