It feels almost comedic how many announcements are rolling out of the various not-E3 presentations. I'm going to post what I've got written up right now, and continue to plow through them until we're all caught up sometime in 2028. As usual, I don't see the logic of flooding the zone with an information overload, but I'm not a business genius, so what do I know? Oh yeah, another Steam Next Fest is about to get underway. So buckle up, I guess.

Oh yeah, it is broken. It was broken way before Trump entered the scene. But previously the result was mostly stagnation and occasionally if some of the people in Congress got out of line they might lose their seat. But now the base on both sides pretty much expects their side to get out of line, because to them it is what needs to be done. And if the members do get out of line, their seat is safe. I do not expect it to get fixed within my lifetime. It might get slightly better in the long run, but I wouldn't bet my house on it.

But the House is controlled by the GOP and all of them are afraid if they don't fall in line behind Trump, the MAGA base will primary them out of their jobs. So, yeah -- I wouldn't count on that happening.
Oh, don't be so dramatic. Congress can still do it's job and enact a reasonable budget.
My point is that shitty presidents don't matter when you have a Congress that actually can function. Ted Fucking Cruz doesn't even automativally vote with the president anymore ffs - it's mentioned in the article. People have been blaming the wrong thing for decades now. Of course I don't expect anything to change; just pointing out why our government is dysfunctional and pathetic.

Man, I hope I'm still around to see that.

RIP RedEye9. We miss you.
Don't worry Blue: you have a long period up until Christmas time during which the games industry goes dormant again in order to get caught up.

Cough. Term limits. COUGH COUGH end of the stupid-ass filibuster "cough cough" line-item veto... cough cough cough. Damn... I must have something in my throat...

Those tax cuts for the rich are not going to pay for themselves. And besides, the US appears to have given up its role as a world leader of the sciences. Any time I read about new discoveries it is usually china doing it. Whereas we are deporting foreign scientists and making sure that the worlds best and brightest cannot come here. Trump was to make us the leader of what, cryptocurrency? Something his family has invested heavily into? Heil Trumpf.
