The Wii U is fantastic. Lots of great games that run smooth as butter on the Steam Deck without any fancy setup required.
Oh, that’s not how it was marketed? Weird. That’s the first I heard of it…
/s but not really.

ngl, that’s a pretty good persuasive essay. Since the OP gave the prompt, it also took creative risks with an essay topic that is original, and doesn’t just parrot the consensus opinion on a well-trodden topic.
I’d give this a really good grade up to grade 11.

Proroguing Parliament for 2½ months to pick a new leader isn’t a good look for the Liberals on this one, but I can see why they went for it. That’s a lot of news cycles for things to cool off before a likely election.
I doubt it will be enough to keep the anti-trans bigot party from winning a majority government, sadly.

Epicly long light novels are like that, too. Like in xianxia, they’re weak and looked down upon, but, due to [secret hidden ultra advantage], they advance quickly until they can defeat the bullies. Which brings them to a new tier of power where they’re weak and looked down upon, …
Some series do a good job of expanding the scope of things so politics start playing a bigger role, and they interact with people multiple tiers above their power for more continuity/scope, and/or move to new worlds/environments with entirely new structures, etc.
Others just do the same thing over and over again. Most do both, lol.
I find I can’t binge the same thing for more than a few weeks before I need a “palate cleanser” series before going back.
