Echoing that I've been running VNV and it works remarkably well on my hardware.

I'm with you on both.

For RDR2 in particular, I found it so irksome how on-rails the missions were while the rest of the game was so free form. If you're going to make me follow in the footsteps you planned exactly, don't tease me with freedom between your set piece sequences. Ride-shoot-ride is also not super interesting to me.

I've come to believe that the Rockstar formula just doesn't work for me after GTA4.

Hey Karim, super cool to have you here. I love what you've done with your character so far and I'm hoping for continued success on SFA.

1. What's the energy like on set? Are there any particularly strong jokesters? Tim Russ on Voyager was noted for cracking a lot of jokes, for example, and I think Michael Dorn and Brent Spiner had a similar reputation on the set of TNG.
2. Are you into science fiction generally? If so, what's your favorite book, movie, or tv series?
3. What do you wish people knew about SFA (or you!) that they don't seem to?

Congratulations, me too. Systemic problems don't affect every individual in the system in the same way.

This aligns well with Clarence Thomas seeking to get rid of his wife by setting the stage for interracial marriage to become illegal.

How does this make them look even mildly competent? They disclosed war plans to an unknown third party by using unsanctioned communication tools. They got lucky it was a reporter who thought he was being baited rather than a more malicious and intentioned actor.

All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!" "You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler." Etc.

It's the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.

Callous reaction to what is a clear overstep on behalf of US CBP. Denying entry would have been a more efficient move than detainment, unless the cruelty is the point.

Begone, propagandist. Peace is elusive because the Russian government has engineered the situation to be so. That you think they were "likely" to drop an obvious showstopper clause means absolutely nothing; the actual parties to the negotiation clearly did not feel that to be true.

You're probably being down voted because of the presumption that we're not doing things. Protests, calling representatives, boycotts, mutual aid networks, etc. Some of us work directly in politics or directly in government, and do what we can in those spaces, too.

It's kind of irritating to get a finger-wagging admonition when you're exploring all options short of outright assassination. And if the suggestion is to just start shooting, well, I think it's asking more than you think for someone to choose to become a killer.

I knew about this but it's never made sense to me. If I was a billionaire I'd never drive myself anywhere, particularly not if I was going to be intoxicated.
