Xenogears is the best game, or at least JRPG, I ever played and I played over 40 JRPGs from the 8bit era to the modern era. There might be a better JRPG out there but I haven’t played it yet.

- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 1 week ago:
It begins by realizing that economics is also politics. The US ran out of indigenous peoples and lands to exploit, so it is turning inwards.
There are many books one could recommend. But an easy one to understand is: Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror, this book was published in 2012.

The US constitution has amendments canceling amendments, more specifically the 21st repealing the 18th. Legally it is possible to repeal the 22nd, but the votes aren’t there… yet.

- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
Fewer strings also means China doesn’t care about democracy, human rights, and such.
Neither does Western powers. Their support for the genocide in Gaza proves as much.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
What’s wrong with building infrastructure? Nothing stopping the West from offering an alternative development plan.
Instead when the US invaded Iraq it destroyed its infrastructure and opposed any plan to rebuild Iraq. China now is helping rebuild Iraq. Just one example of plenty.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 week ago:
China is focusing on itself, maybe that’s what the US and Europe should do for a while.

I have an XBox Series S that I purchased using Microsoft Rewards points, but over the past year I decided to boycott Microsoft for a myriad of reasons and stopped buying games for it and switched to Playstation, Switch and Steam as my platforms of choice for new game purchases. I still have a massive library for XBox so I will still be playing on it for years to come.

I don’t think they ever invaded the entirety of the Arabian Peninsula, they had protectorates: Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, South Yemen, and the seven emirates that later formed UAE.
- Comment on GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich While 'Ransacking' Food Stamps and Medicaid 2 weeks ago:
The developed world is leagues better than the US, and by the developed world I mean Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and some South American countries. Many developing countries are also better overall when you consider the cost of essentials such as housing, food, healthcare and education. There is no denying that the US is regressing overall and has high inequality in human development.
- Comment on GOP Proposes $4.5 Trillion Tax Giveaway to the Rich While 'Ransacking' Food Stamps and Medicaid 2 weeks ago:
The US is still rich and prosperous by any standard and isn’t doing “way worse”. It is regressing by developed countries’ standard, but most of the world is still developing.
