I mean those all sound like really good games. Unless you particularly hate the game genre the game is from or hate the game studio that developed it, most people would enjoy playing all of them, especially now that the ones that were glitchy and unplayable at launch have been fixed.

Horizon is an Ubisoft style open world game, but with robot animals and dinosaurs. Haven't played the second one, but in the first one the mid game was such a slog that I didn't touch it for years, and now I'm just letting my pre teen niece finish my playthrough. The game is actually becoming really good now lol.

Yeah ... "Largest democracy in the world", in which one vote does not equal one vote.

The whole system is just so alien to me as someone that voted in the South African elections. If I lived in a country with first past the post, I probably would not vote because of the large chance my vote would not count. Meanwhile in South Africa I can vote for a tiny political party that I feel best represents my views, and so long as they get a few ten thousand votes nationwide, they get a seat in parliament, and even a government minister or deputy minister post if they come to an agreement with the governing party or governing coalition. It's not the greatest system and has many flaws as does any bourgeois democracy, but compared to first past the post, proportional representation seems so much better.

Reform actually got 14% of the vote, which is quite scary. Ironically, the first past the post system is the only reason they don't have 80+ seats.

Watching UK election coverage and wondering who on earth came up with such a backwards system. The parties share of seats compared to their vote share, makes no sense at all. As much as I hate Farage, his party got 14% of the vote, but they only got 4 seats out of 650. How is that possible? Labour got less votes now than they did with Corbyn, yet now they achieve a landslide victory. How? The UK's version of first past the post has to be one of the most out of date backwards electoral systems in existence. Coming from South Africa where we have proportional representation and one vote = one vote, the UK seems like an undemocratic island. And these are the people that criticize Russia and China, and the global south in general, for being "undemocratic".

These people do realise that the US version of first past the post, in the electoral college, means that a sizeable amount of people's votes literally do not matter? They get this right? If you live in a solid red state and vote blue, or vise versa, your vote effectively does not count. And that's before we get to the proportionality of seats assigned by the electoral college, which essentially makes rural landowners votes count multiple times more than people who live in the city, a remnant of the US constitution designed to give slave owners and large landowners more power. The only people whose votes actually count are a minority who live in swing states with a share of the electoral college large enough to influence the result of the election.

Just comparing it to the South African electoral system with proportional representation and one vote = one vote, the US system is backwards and hundreds of years out of date by comparison
