"These sellers are going to be accused of price-gauging ..."
To clarify:
Price-gauging is what I do with the stores/sellers.
Price-gouging is what the stores/sellers do to me.
I'll admit, I passed on this game initially, but I ended up receiving it as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago.
I dunno, maybe I just have crap taste in games, but I absolutely loved Days Gone. I thought the story was decent and the zombie hordes/mobs were appropriately rabid, tenacious, and panic-inducing. But the thing I liked probably more than anything else, were the subtle nuances in the facial animations. There were a number of scenes where the the facial expressions and overall body language of main character, Deacon, were just spot-on. Enough that the moments actually stood out to me as such.
Also, the song during the mid-game area transition, "Hell or High Water" by Billy Raffoul remains one of my favorites today.
There aren't many games I've played through twice, but Days Gone was one of 'em and I'll likely replay it again some five years or so from now.
So, "woke reviewers" or John Garvin's shitty responses to negative reviews aside, I enjoyed the hell out of it.
Y'know, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt up until the Project Veritas bit. That anyone could hold them up as any kind of example of truth in reporting is just ridiculous. A quick check on the allsides.com Media Bias Chart shows them as hard right. MediaBiasFactCheck.com shows them as extreme right with a Low Credibility rating for reporting accuracy.
Man, please don't lump me in with the majority of Reinbold's constituents -- I don't live in her district. That said, Reinbold' definitely one of the more crazy-pants state senators we've got (the other is Crystal Kennedy).
I guess the only thing that can be said at this point is that at least neither side has a supermajority.
Our lone congressman just kicked the bucket last Friday and I'm hoping Alyse Galvin takes another stab at it --she's tried the last two elections and had come closer than anyone else to unseating Don Young. Now if only we can get rid of our mayor (Anchorage) and governor (Dunleavy). Oh, and Dan Sullivan, one of the two US Sens. He's just useless. Lisa Murkowski's the only decent one we've got (I don't always agree with her, but I absolutely respect her). I just hope she can hold out against the Trumper crowd.
Hey, thanks for that! I've long had the understanding that Voltaire was the source of that quote (well, not the latter half, anyway).
As it turns out, it comes from a 1906 biography by Evelyn Beatrice Hall, in which it was intended to represent a summary of his thinking on free speech issues. “I did not mean to imply,” she wrote later, “that Voltaire used these words verbatim.”

Price-gauging
"These sellers are going to be accused of price-gauging ..." To clarify: Price-gauging is what I do with the stores/sellers. Price-gouging is what the stores/sellers do to me.
But that'll just as likely run afoul of whatever Elon feels 'Ban-Evasion' is this week.
Put me in the minority, then

Hey, just a heads-up, but I'm pretty sure birds aren't real. I'm almost certain I read that somewhere, anyway. Maybe on Twitter.
