It's one of those where it's not even a matter of gender or race: Biden was hounded relentlessly for not genuflexing at the altar of the media. Meanwhile, when Olivia Nuzzi was justifiably attacked for her egregious breach of deontology, they all closed rank to protect her against those evil libs.

Once again, American elite media fundamentally believes that only Republicans matter and Democrats need to know their fucking place.

I mean, has someone calculated how much time it would take the average person working a 9-5 to complete *just* every Game Awards nominee?

My favorite part of the Nightmare Vorkuta mission is when they replaced the attack helicopter fight with a *second* Guild VTOL boss, and instead of being a cool setpiece like in the original Blops it's just another bullet sponge.

"The portobello mushroom reminded me of my mother. How she would cook for me every autumn. The leaves were falling, and every time it filled my chest with a strange feeling. Today I understand what this feeling was: it was dread."

Yes, though the story of the game itself happens in 2035, ten years after Black Ops 2, which happened in 2025.

That was just one example. Another is the obligatory adds phase where the boss disappears until they're all dead, or the DPS phase where a timer causes the size of the arena to shrink so you have to hit him with all you got to nuke his healthbar before you lose.
