Nioh is great y'all.

Could someone fill me in on why charter schools are bad? I went to public school, then a trade high school, so I have no idea what they're like. Do they negatively affect lower income people?

They take public funds and apply it to schools with less accountability and no teachers unions. Any jerk off with an eye for making money can get a few educators, administrators, write up a proposal and get a site, then siphon public funds.

Teacher unions are a thorn in Republican sides because of workers rights. They mobilize and get out the vote. So, you attack unions. If you can get a small cottage industry that claims to be about school choice, you lower their power. You simultaneous push thru no child left behind while promoting substandard charter schools.

I've seen it up close with my old church in new jersey. Some places, like cherry Hill, have good schools. Our church tried to launch a charter school and the district rebuffed. They didn't want to lose public funds. And seeing the behind-the-scenes, they were right. Our 'people', including the pastor, were probably more interested in the funds to prop up the church. Yeah, they talked a lot about instructing kids but they really just wanted to get kids in seats to generate revenue.

You have funds, you can hire people. You control jobs and that can generate revenue. Something that wasn't their before. Then you can pay for a large facility just on the rent of the school.

And it's on the backs of poor people. The public schools are shit because of the systemic problems. So, you use their agony to harm the whole community. Either way, i don't trust any Republican who talks about school choice. They have proven time and time again that they hate poor people and do not have their best interests in mind.

TP and Skyward are eh, TP suffers from open world-itis and Skyward has 3 environments that they make you go too four different times.

But this one? Where I can leave the opening of the game and IMMEDIATELY run to go fight Ganon?

Oh hell yes.

Yo, what up fam.
I'm on a shoe string budget myself, but it I think this one is worth the stretch. I've already pumped triple digit hours into this game from the pre-release sessions alone.

I think the guys at Easy Allies described it best.

"It's Zelda 1, you start the game, you get your basic gear, then you go out into the world and it tells you 'go'".

And that sounds like fucking crack to me.

Same. Though some mainline entries are weaker than others, I've never straight up hated any of the games.

G Man why you tripping. I am actually jealous of the Switch schedule. It forces you to play a game before getting another one, whenever that is. Here I am on the PS4 worrying if i can finish Horzions before Mass Effect and Persona. Switch will be so stress free in that regard.

Just my opinion as to what platform you'll get the most out of gameplay wise with via mods and all. I'm sure others can give further input.

Picaked up the complete edition of Witcher 3 for PS4. Wish me luck.

I wish I saw Yakuza 0 but I didn't.

Witcher 3 is gonna last you a long ass time fam.

I fell off of it pretty far in, and now I'm scared to even attempt to a) get back into it from where I left off, or b) restart it. I might just have to leave it be, even though I'd love to finish it.

I've defeated you yet again, public speaking
Click to expand...

One of my biggest goals when I went back to school was to get better at public speaking. 18-year old me, who dealt with social anxiety his whole life, would never believe that I can stand in front a bunch of people and talk relatively calmly and off of the top of my head without notes.

The first time that I took a break from it to play some other shit, I went back in after they had the first round of patches. I was so used to playing around the jank that the improvements were constantly tripping me up.
The last time I went back in it was easier. I figured out how to avoid the dlc content that I wasn't leveled for and got into the side quests and hunts to get my Witcher legs back. Picking back up on dropped storyline quests is daunting without adjustment time.

You mean the girl that did a 3some just to get some guys to live her house might not be well.

Oh the 3some is where she broke her arm
