I know a lot of people have already summed up their 2024 in gaming at the beginning of December, but I follow the American football rule "It's over when it's over". My main platform for gaming is Xbox, same for consoles and PC, top game is ☢️ Fallout 4 (bought GOTY 4 years ago, worth every cent)

I wonder if the United States can learn anything from the last time a major industrialized country decided to isolate itself from the rest of the world?

Almost a decade after the Brexit vote, GDP in the UK is around 6-8% lower relative to peer countries. (Source: www.nber.org/papers/w34459)

Yup. I said this earlier today, but it was only a guess. Thanks for confirming it. It is no coincidence that of the 8 who came forward to do this, none of them are running in 2026. But they ran cover for some who are.

This is objectively nonsense but people believe it because nostalgia is one of the most powerful political forces on earth - especially if it's imagined nostalgia on the part of people who never experienced the times they claim to miss. /1
Things are objectively worse now than the 80s or 90s.

The pardons are primarily symbolic: No one on the list has been charged with federal crimes, and Trump can't pardon those facing state charges in GA, AZ, NV and WI.

But it's another effort by Trump to recast the history of his bid to seize a second term in 2020. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Thank you to whoever leaked the fact that some Dems considered caving. That is not an option. We all want the government open but we need ACA subsidies officially extended. Pen to paper. Nothing less. Period.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

It looks like he doesn't believe his own "best approval ratings".
Why is he everywhere?

The idea that authoritarian leaders have a better understanding of each other and can solve any issues is strange to me. First of all, there was the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact in 1936 and the brutal war between the USSR and Germany in 1941. But we also have many recent examples.

Mark Cerny confirms that the future foundation of #PlayStation hardware will be focused on broader compatibility. Developers will find it easier to transition to other consoles, PCs, etc., since the technology is shared between AMD and PS specific boards.
