The Super Famicom ports of the first three Wizardry titles have fan translations available on turnip trucks out there on the interwebs. Honestly great games that completely hold up if you’re willing to forgive their willingness to murder your parties. The remake of Wizardry 1 is fantastic but it’s very faithful in a warts & all sort of way to the Apple II version, as a matter of fact it’s running the Apple II version under the hood in a similar way to that Oblivion Remaster from earlier this year. I don’t know if this is still the case but when I played during early access you couldn’t strip equipment from dead characters before the temple failed to raise them and they got dusted, which made losing geared characters that much more painful. Can’t stress enough, a fantastic dungeon crawler though, if you like Darkest Dungeon or similar ‘march these folks to their death’ gameplay loops you’ll feel right at home

Reminder that she was made VP as a reward for helping a dementia riddled corpse ratfuck an actually progressive candidate out of the primary.

How’s that Super Delegate system treating you?

“when American needed people like you, you failed.”

Shove your condescension up your hypocritical ass you self-righteous blowhard. You’ve no idea what I did or didn’t do to try and avert this fucking crisis and if you think for a moment that “people like me” weren’t and aren’t fighting for our goddamn lives and those of our communities you’re so ignorant it’s galling. Fuck you

So let me ask you something then, if it’s every group you’ve mentioned at fault for voting wrong or being insufficiently engaged what in the actual fuck are you hoping to accomplish by assigning blame beyond stoking your own ego?

It sounds to me like the leftist bogeyman you’re so eager to pin all this on didn’t have nearly the impact you claimed elsewhere in the thread, or is this still their fault in an election where the Republicans managed to take the popular vote?

“Leftists stayed home”, so are protest voters the reason Harris lost or is it the fact she was a hypocritical liar with a decades long career propping up the prison industrial complex? She goes on Charlemagne Tha God’s podcast laughing and joking that she never inhaled meanwhile nearly two thousand people were imprisoned on her orders for marijuana related offenses.

“Though she defended marijuana’s use for medicinal purposes as district attorney, her prosecutors in San Francisco convicted more than 1,900 people on cannabis-related offenses.”

I’m not sure how you’re able to type with your head rammed so far up your own ass but if you manage to get some fresh air you should realize that no amount of celebrities at the DNC is going to make up for the liberal establishment’s failures on every single issue that matters. By the way, why the actual fuck didn’t Obama push for codification of Roe? Why the hell did the entire blue team roll over for McConnell and allow the Republicans to stall Merrick Garland’s supreme court nomination? Speaking of Garland why didn’t that spineless coward prosecute Trump when he had the chance? Because they’re complicit, we’re already seeing the presumptive nominee sprint to the right on every single issue that matters to progressives, if our vote actually made a difference the Democrats would actually do something to earn it but we make such a convenient scapegoat when they lose don’t we?

You’re a rube

Speaking as a leftist who swallowed my pride and voted for a fascist genocide supporter because for all her useless platitudes Harris was still a better option and I’m willing to admit that; go fuck yourself.

You want to know why people didn’t get behind Harris? It’s because her boss ran on rolling back the damage Trump 1.0 had done and then continued operating concentration camps on the southern border. It’s because time and time again even the radical Democrats have proven themselves to be feckless, incompetent, hand-wringing cowards who can’t be trusted to do the job they were elected for until it’s time to “compromise with Republicans” by inflating the defense budget and passing tax cuts for the wealthy. Harris would have seen her approval numbers falter and start rounding up brown folks no different from Trump, the difference being she’d have kept her mouth shut about it and so would the media until six weeks before midterms. Her platform was a gun and a nightstick with a BLM sticker tacked onto it, no different from Biden or Obama.

Biden put ZERO pressure on Israel to reign in their genocide in Gaza and Harris would have done no differently source the United States has effectively unlimited leverage in this conflict and they refuse to use it no matter which side is in office. I voted for those lying crooks despite knowing that, but I don’t blame a goddamn person for whom that was a deal breaker, it should be.

You know how Harris would have been different, she’d have been competent. She wouldn’t have tanked the economy with these ridiculous tarrifs, cozied us up to Russia, threatened and alienated our closest allies and trading partners or surged DHS’s budget to unthinkable levels, but the next Republican in office sure would have. The courts are packed, the Dems will always have a defector (just like mean old Joe Manchin), there will always be a convenient excuse why they’re so feckless and ineffectual and all electing Harris would have done is delay the inevitable by another four years. Acting like the US’ slide into authoritarianism which has been ongoing since the Wilson administration is anything new or aberrant to our current era is either wishful thinking or complete brainless ignorance of history. Trump isn’t the problem, Trump voters aren’t even the problem, this is the result of deep rooted contradictions in the very foundation of the Republic bearing their poison fruit.

All is not lost, others are getting organized, demonstrating, protesting, taking action. The only thing that gets us out of this is solidarity and mutual support but by all means, sit on your ass and continue to point fingers at others you’d seek to blame, because they were wrong and that’s all that matters right?

Fucking shitheel
