    He literally is and can. This was all intended. It was planned. There are tweets and posts saying this was going to happen on December 6th. They made merch for it. They did it on purpose.

    He is not a dictator, he's a half baked populist. The only way he can become dictator is if he dismantles the 3 branches of government and makes himself the sole authority.

    So where does american politics go from here?

    It's as the title says. After what happened yesterday (Dating this post to January 7th, on the 6th Trump supporters in a protest/riot (Depending on your definition please don't lynch me) stormed the Capitol building and forced US senators and house representatives to evacuate), where does american politics go from here? American politics has sort of existed up to this point on the idea of civility, or at the very least the idea that the people let their representatives do the work. The way I see it, people might be more emboldened to just storm govt buildings. So, where do we go from here? Is this a good thing? A bad thing? I really have no clue, and am kind of just processing all of them. 

    It's a good thing for a government to fear its citizenry. In this case it was more of politically charged gross incompetence, so I doubt anything like this will happen again anytime soon.

    According to your donations record, you had $39,000 in donations in 2020, and per your SocialBlade, ~$15,000 in YouTube money assuming a $2 CPM and a 45% cut for the website. $54,000 is over four times the gross median income in Poland. It's equivalent to a low six figure income in the United States when Poland's PPP conversion factor is applied. You also appear to live mostly off of canned beans and $10 games in what I presume is a 1 bedroom apartment. 

     

    I'm a bit confused as how you're only set for the next few months.

    Well I know there is an additional  15% self employment tax on top of income and everything else. Not sure how donations are taxesd, but wonder if he can claim his apartment as an office and use moving expenses as a write off.

    What is the Coolest Game YOU'VE Played?

    I've played a lot games over the years, really hard to narrow that down.

     

    Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, was an awesome 3D mascot platformer with collectibles but the tech for the time and immersive gameplay was just really cool. It was one of the first games in my life that had seamless loading transitions, a day night cycle and you could see the whole game world in the distance from every location via landmarks. The whole series is super cool and very fun to play (The Naughty Dog made ones, we don't talk about...that Jak & Daxter game.) with tight controls.

     

    When it comes to PC though, there's more, and it's ultimately the two greatest shooter franchises of all time in multiplayer: Quake & Unreal Tournament.

    What more is there to say really? Just bad ass, balls to the wall action with a perplexingly high skill ceiling, so many game modes you're just spoiled for choice. There's a reason there's still people playing these today, me being one of them. Personal favourites are Quake Live and Unreal Tournament 2004 respectively but most games in both series have merit and are absolutely worth playing. Shout out to Diabotical for keeping AFPS going with a boat load of QoL features and more accessible settings, though it does have growing pains in its second season right now with no way to host/rent permanent server space as of yet. I hope they refocus their goals with the game soon because it deserves success in my opinon.

     

    The most modern game to have released the impressed me to no end has to be the Total War: Warhammer games. The detail and dedication to the old world makes me want to cry with joy, and the spectacle of the battles is so unbelievably cool to watch unfold. If only the old world was still around on the table being updated...soon. Soon.

     

    To condense it down for a top 10, here's how I'm feeling at the moment for brevity;

     

    1. Unreal Tournament 2004

    2. Quake 3: Arena/Quake Live

    3. Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

    4. Total War: Warhammer 1 & 2

    5. DotA 2

    6. Awesomenauts

    7. Rising Storm 2: Vietnam

    8. Skater XL

    9. Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades

    10. Elite Dangerous

    I have a hard time deciding what I enjoy more: TPL or Jak II

    It's a bug in the website when uploading an image in firefox, it causes it to upload twice (assuming both don't go beyond the 8mb limit). I just got fed up with waiting everytime for the images to finish loading before I can delete them and just hit "post".

    (see here:

    )

    He's uploading an image, he's doing it twice
    The browser will decide if the website is naughty or nice

    sadly it is and the average civilian AI is no better . The enemy AI is pretty bad too but what youd expect in a modern open world game its no worse then any Ubisoft title .  The driver AI is so bad that if you park your vehicle in a wide open road they dont know how to drive around it they'll just sit there for eternity lol . CD Projekt Red has said its a glitch and not working as intended but frankly i dont believe them an doubt it can be fixed with patches . BUT theres many things praise worthy about the game id encourage you to give it a chance maybe wait for patches and when its on sale .
