What do we think about Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture for this? There is a plot, there is a story, but you as the player have no active role in it. You don’t even see it play out in real time.

“I think the system is unfair and could be dramatically improved.”

Clinton didn’t endorse the incumbent. He endorsed Cuomo, New York’s former governor who resigned in disgrace several years ago. Apparently Cuomo feels that enough time has passed since he resigned in disgrace that he can try starting up his career again.

I don’t know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.

And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.

My company instituted “Wellbeing Days.” They marked three days throughout the year on everyone’s calendar and said you should avoid answering calls or attending meetings on those days, instead focusing on personal reflection and development.

… so I stayed home and focused on developing my Elden Ring skills.
