    People who think our presidential elections are only recently fucked up are morons. Since basically day 1 the politics and seedyness and bullshit going on behind the scenes has always been insane.

    There’s some kind of narcissistic selfishness that constantly has a need for THIS time, OUR time to be the worst ever.

    I mean, for the majority of the country’s history, huge portions of its population had literally no democracy due to no right to vote. But I guess we’ll ignore that.

    We had portions of our history that were rocky as hell due to shifting balances of power between the federal branches, especially in the first 100 years.

    We literally had a fucking civil war.

    It’s always so interesting to me how people just ignore how bad it’s always been, and how many times the country did not, in fact, literally end, and yet they STILL gin up end of the country fearmongering constantly in every election cycle.

    None of this is truly new.
















  • For Elder Scrolls, I’d recommend giving either Oblivion or Skyrim a whirl, and then after you feel done with one, try the other. In my opinion they are both great for different reasons, and they are different enough to feel like very different games in some ways.

    If it helps you make a decision in terms of RPG story feel, Skyrim is more about you as the hero, and Oblivion you’re more like a person that happens to be there.

    There’s great modding resources too if you’re into that. Especially on Nexus. Even light modding like some QoL upgrades or bug fixes. I’m not talking crazy mods.

    Oh, the endgame for Skyrim (the original DLCs) really do give you some rewarding post-game fun in like a god mode.
