Not idiots, just woefully misguided to the detriment of others.

Then I guess I'd like someone to explain the mathematical probability, because from an empirical standpoint I haven't seen anything to disprove the claim being made above.

I'm not sure I agree with that estimation, but even then I'd say that the majority of Green Party voters who would decide to vote anyways would probably vote Dem over GOP, and that still matters.

Because only one of those parties is trying to deny me basic human rights, I can't say I'm sympathetic to anyone who would choose not to vote out of spite just because they don't personally have as much at stake.

Then why do they never win any votes in the electoral college? When is the last time a third party ever succeeded nationally in the US when it didn't involve the dissolution of some other party that preceded it?

And George W. Bush.

And Donald Trump (the first time).

If the Green Party wasn't a thing, there would be a lot of elections that the Republicans wouldn't have won, because the margins were just that thin.

I don't know if I'd say it's the best 3D platformer I've ever played, but it was definitely a much-needed breath of fresh air in a genre that does not get nearly enough love from the AAA scene.

And it's definitely the prettiest platformer I've ever played (so far).

Hard to know if the patent is expired when they haven't even officially announced which ones they plan to bring forward in the suit.

The only info I was aware of so far is that there were multiple claims they were making.

It really is like a feudal system. There's a reason why the HBO series Succession is framed like the politics between a lord, his heirs, and his vassals.

Definitely not a Valve W though.

I have no idea how some people can worship a corporation so strongly.

Apologies for the Xitter link, but it looks like the main character Atsu is being portrayed by Erika Ishii.

Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?

Guessing this is why they changed the term "Apple ID" to "Apple Account"

 

Lot of helpful advice in a beautifully formatted checklist. Don't forget to make a copy if you want to use this for yourself!

 

Aorzia has gotten a bit stale lately, hasn't it?

 

When Samsung last updated One UI several months ago, myself and many other Samsung users (and Pixel users on Android 14 as well, judging by the replies) encountered a bug where swiping posts closed showed only a black background until fully closed, after which the content one would expect to see would appear.

Last night, One UI updated to 6.1 on my device, and when I used Sync this morning, I noticed that the black background bug is no longer happening.

!Unfortunately I now need to re-learn my navigation gestures because Samsung apparently thinks it's fine to force people to completely re-learn how they navigate their phone overnight...!<

Seen on a comment today, this user with an Arabic username, written right to left, is rendered in between the points value and label text in Sync, rather than to the left of the value as expected.

Noticed a minor bug this morning when swiping a post closed where there is only a black screen in the background in place of the feed.

The feed loads immediately as expected when the post is fully closed, making this only a minor issue.

Notably, my phone updated to Android 14 just last night, so I was not sure if there was something weird with the OS update impacting the app, but it persists through a force close and clearing cache.

In just under 6 hours after the submission of this post, the servers will be going down for maintenance. This maintenance is scheduled for a full 24 hours.

Good luck to anyone getting in your last-minute Moogle Tome or PvP Series grinding, and see you all in 6.5 on Tuesday!

 

Minor spoilers for the quest "Breaking the Bank" below!

So after going into the archives to look for a certain missing GalBank ship for the Crimson Fleet, there were logs for other missing ships other than the one I was looking for.

Out of all of the options available to check, there was only one ship that had recorded a last known location: the "Supremacy", last known to be near Saturn.

I thought, "Hey now, they must have put a location for this one other ship for a reason, and I bet it would be pretty lucrative if I was the one to find it." Now, with that said, Saturn is a somewhat big area to search, with many moons to boot, and I can't seem to find any other leads.

Just so that I am not spending hours on a wild goose chase, I was curious if this is something that anyone else knows anything about, or if there might be other hints I simply missed?

 

Greetings, all you collectible-thirsty WoLs out there! It's another Moogle Tomestone season again, and you know what that means! ~~Time to run Syrcus Tower 50 more times!~~

While everyone has their preferred method of Moogle Tome acquisition, this is a reminder that now is the best time to get some Rival Wings in as well, and queues are popping every day.

You may be wondering, why Rival Wings when I can just semi-AFK my way through some level 50/60 raids? Well, Rival Wings allows you to kill several birds with one (tome)stone.

  • Rival Wings gets you a full 10 Tomestones for winning and 6 for losing, whereas all of the "easy" raids net you a flat 6.

  • As a PvP game mode, you will earn progress on Series Malmstones, win or lose.

  • You can make progress towards Rival Wings victory achievements for the unique mount rewards.

  • You can work on the GARO rewards as well!

Other reasons to choose Rival Wings over alternatives:

  • Unlike Frontlines where there are 3 teams, Rival Wings only has two, bringing your odds of winning much closer to 50% and making it more efficient for farming.

  • Rival Wings matches are relatively short (usually 10-15 mins, sometimes even less), making them very time efficient versus some of the later raids that can take >30 minutes even on a good run.

  • Not being part of a roulette, joining Rival Wings matches is much rarer when there is no Moogle Tomestone event ongoing.

  • It's FUN!

For more information, I highly recommend checking out the PvP Revival Discord, where you can see which data center for your region is popping that day.

Happy hunting!

 

Awesome looking rewards this year!
