Without disputing that there were a lot of fuckups, this feels like a kind of pointless article given the uncle called 10 minutes after the shooter was shot by police, not sure there was much he could have done at that point.

Some of us play XCOM, 95% chance to hit might as well be 0% when you need 100%, usually means it's time for a grenade.

It is was probably transferred from his ear to chin/cheek by something like the floor, his hand or SS. That'd explain why there isn't a trail and it appears blotchy.

Those style of maps make the gameplay into a frenzy, turns the twitch shooting skill requirement up, drops the tactical planning.

I think the bad logic here is that the more sites there are the more likely one of them is improperly follow procedures.

The real surprise to me is not the software, company or OS issues, but rather so many companies just blindly pushing untested updates to their prod environments, this was and will continue to be a risk associated with anything they do trust so implicitly. Feels like the security folks just totally failed Dev 101.

The sad honest truth is probably that there are more bigoted people out there that won't vote for a Dem if it isn't a white guy than people who would add votes to one who isn't, particularly in swing states. Maybe I'm too cynical...

As for replacements, even the people who some polls show as being slightly more popular than Biden haven't been through anywhere near as much of a dedicated smear campaign as he has, and if they were, we don't know how they'd poll.

At its core, I think it's basically just the Trolley Problem. Some people would rather passively support a worse situation rather than actively support a better but bad situation.

I went back and forth on it. The campaign is just the meta progression, the missions are the randomized element. Comparing to Darkest Dungeon for example, it's really similar in structure.

Official Act to lockup the fascists as domestic terrorists, then bow out of the race.

Ok, sticking to roguelites, here's some other options:

Deckbuilding Style: Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Griftlands, Balatro

Survivor/Bullet-Heaven Style: Vampire Survivors, Brotato, Deep Rock Galactic Survivor

Realtime Combat (I'd put Hades/Dead Cells here): Hand of Fate 1/2, Zero Sievert, Wall World, Rogue Legacy 1/2, Risk of Rain 1/2, Heroes of Hammerwatch

FPS: Gunfire Reborn, Roboquest

Turn-based/Pausable: FTL, The Last Spell, Loop Hero, Dungeons of Dredmor, Darkest Dungeon 1/2, Backpack Hero, Into the Breach, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2

Sure I missed some other good stuff.

Not a roguelite/roguelike but if you liked the combat style of Hades, check out Bastion.

I'm not sure why light would matter, obviously if you're flying you'd use wind over solar, there's so much wind flowing around the planes it'd be a much more available and reliable source of power.
