Never thought I'd see the day. I was coming here less and less as one by one the Bombers dropped off. Jason's probably the last one I'd consider a bomber left, but Jeff was the soul of this place. The lengthy piece here said Giant Bomb isn't one person, that's right. It was Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, Brad, and Drew. With all those gone and no Dan, Abby, Ben, and now Jeff, I can officially never come to this site again. Good luck, Jeff. No idea what you plan to do for a living after doing this for so long, but I hope you land on your feet. I'll be transitioning to Twitch for video game content like everyone else has, I guess.
You guys are vaccinated by now, aren't you? 'bout time you be finding an office, isn't it? This whole pseudo-Twitch streamer remote podcast format isn't really needed anymore.
The summoning was unfortunate. If the other guy really plays as much as he says, he'd tell Jan to stop. Jan's habit of mashing backstep, backing straight up from bosses and the summons making that kind of play possible is teaching him bad habits that aren't going to work later. Sekiro and Father G were supposed to teach dodging forward and being 'in there' more.
@bloody_skirmish: "Turks have had historical trouble with the Kurds" is a really weird, dismissive, and reductive way of talking about the history of the Kurdish people in the region. The PKK are no saints, but neither are the Turkish (or previously, Ottoman) governments.
The Kurds are a stateless people whose military forces have aided US interests in the region for decades. The Turkish government, like many in the region, is oppressive and is increasingly ideologically opposed to stated US values. The US government's relationship with the Turkish government is one of convenience.
I agree, the Kurds were instrumental in helping us fight a threat in the area that should not have existed in the first place due to our presence and exploiting our "interests in the area." The Kurds have also broken alliances, committed acts of terror, done things to antagonize (and don't mistake this as an endorsement of) the Turks. ISIS is defeated, the Turks do not want Kurds on their land, their conflict is not ours, waiting for a "peaceful" time in their conflict to leave is futile, and we're not going to get our pipeline. Our interests in the area have evaporated, we never should have been there, currently are illegally, and it is more than time to leave.
