    Valmore got a reaction from Soulless Watcher in Donald Trump Megathread   
    Even with the debacle of 2000, there are other factors one can consider as to why Gore didn't win. For example, he didn't even carry his home state of Tennessee, they went for Bush. Even in the most one-sided ass kicking in the electoral college of all time, that being 1984, Walter Mondale still managed to carry his home state of Minnesota. It was the only state he carried (along with the District of Columbia) but he did carry it. Had Gore carried Tennessee then Florida wouldn't have mattered.
    I'm not sure what to make of Hillary's actions (or non-actions) after the election. I'm sure her pride is severely hurt, as she believes she's the better candidate (and honestly, she was the better candidate in many different ways). It does seem a bit cold to not address your constituents, but she did quietly concede when she saw the writing on the wall. I'm not so sure Trump would have done the same had the roles been reversed.
    The part that may be bothersome is that, at least in name, the GOP controls the Presidency and Congress for at least two years. I'm really not a huge fan of one party being in control and would prefer a mix of the two compromising together, which is one of the reasons why the GOP was so damned deplorable the past 6 years. Now what remains to be seen is will the GOP actually have the balls to stand up to Trump's wishes, or will they fall in line, and at what degree for both?

    It wasn't so much Clinton as it was Democratic Party. And make no mistake, there's plenty of shit that can be said the same of the GOP. The difference being the GOP ran their outlier candidate that managed to win the nomination (against probably most people's better judgement). There's something to be said about anti-establishment.
    Maybe not. At least I hope not. I really wasn't big on Obama in 2008 and he turned out okay. Look, Trump can't just do whatever he wants - it's not how the Presidency works. The bigger concern is the technicality of both the Executive and Legislative Branches are in control of the same party. If in two years this country isn't "better" (however it's defined) a lot of GOPers in the House might be looking for work.

    Thank you for your request. Oppai is a physical trait that can be applied to many females of all Servant Classes. However, they tend to be most prevalent in the 'Caster' class, for the spell they put over men. Please hold as we summon your Servant...
    Your call is important to us ... Please hold while we ignore it ...
    Servant successfully summoned!
    Thank you for selecting us for your Holy Grail War Servant needs!

    Protagonist walks up to Da Vinci waifu. "Protagonist, Artoria drop rate is up!" says Da Vinci. Protagonist smiles and hands over 30 Saint Quartz, anxiously watches as the flashing lights burst, awaiting his 10 summons.
    Craft essence... craft essence... fatass Caesar... 4* craft essence... Medea... 4* craft essence... fatass Caesar... craft essence... Robin Hood... craft essece.
    "But... but where's my Artoria?" cries the protagonist. "I CAN'T WIN THE HOLY GRAIL WAR WITH FATASS CAESAR AND THESE ALSO-RANS!!!"
    "I forgot to mention the gacha is kinda geared towards 'fuck you' ... sorry," Da Vinci says softly.
    Does this mean I get a shot at Saber Clause?!?

    You can't count Rose - he's so powerful that the game is too easy for him.
    These past two events are good ways of getting built up, when they're offering free 4* Servants just to play through the quest to keep them. Get some powerful friends for support and work through it so you earn the card outright. It starts getting a little easier with those. Sometimes they even goof and make the freebie pretty powerful.

    General consensus is that Persona 4 has the edge on Persona 3 in terms of characters, but that Persona 3 has the edge on Persona 4 in terms of plot. They're both great. Never played the others aside from a few hours with the original Persona long ago, which I really couldn't get into , but I understand the tone and style really changed starting with Persona 3.
    I recommend the Portable version of P3 since you can get it on the Vita, since the battles are way more enjoyable since the system is nearly identical to P4's, and since what you sacrifice in graphics and bonus scenario isn't all that great anyway.
    Basically, once you're done and raving about how good P4 was, you should play P3. Also, P3 has Aigis. You're gonna love Aigis.

    It's still there, just mistranslated. The "Attribute" button is the "Newest" button.
    Data miners are predicting RubyDia for next event, other prediction is NozoUmi. I hope the latter because I need time to collect gems since I want to attempt top 10 for Ruby. I've made 61 gems since 4.0 released and still have much to go.
