Both are not excusive of one another. I wouldn't say Labour had an absolutely amazing night, but I would argue they performed better than they did in 2019 all the same, a result that was enough to get them a massive majority in the House of Commons when paired with the Conservatives imploding.

Labour came away with a greater share of the total vote than they did in 2019 (but less than in 2017). Calling their performance here, in an election with lower total turnout than 2019 had, "worse" feels dishonest.

one day back in July of 2022 as I was leaving Target a lady came up to me and asked "hey, where'd you get your Buffs"
(I wear a lot of #Survivor Buffs)
anyway here's me with the nice lady: Sandra Diaz-Twine (and her daughter Nina)

In the one state Reagan didn't get electoral votes from, Minnesota, he was roughly 0.25% away from winning the state, and this is with the Democratic Party's nominee being from Minnesota. He was nowhere near winning in DC, so it wouldn't have been a sweep.

I was going to say "the HM01 tattoo" but that's not visible here so I suppose I'll pick somewhere else (also I am curious about the tattoo because it feels like a very specific and interesting bit of ink)

I actually saw them live in 2012 and while they're nowhere near their zenith in the 2000s/early 2010s they're still around making music (they released their last album in 2019 and have some material coming this year)

While the Dragon Quest maxima are all very high, I feel like those are very rarely experienced on an "average" playthrough (whatever that means), and a lot of the late-game numbers are in the hundreds to maybe low thousands. Definitely lower than "normal RPG values", but higher than Paper Mario.

I think Dragon Quest is good about keeping numbers low-ish and meaningful...not quite Paper Mario levels, but having played them vs. other games, the numbers are definitely markedly lower. Fire Emblem also has low-ish numbers and simple calculations, which stands out among SRPGs.

I never had a formal allowance as a kid, honestly. I think it was more of a "as long as it's reasonable and not excessive, it's fine" deal with my mother and father.

It might be fun to re-visit the game after over a decade (for me, at least; I played WotL), though I do wonder if they're going to do any rebalancing of some of the game's more interesting things.

there's probably a League of Legends reference to be made (and to its resident art twink mage, Hwei) but I am lazy I am curious as to how they'll implement Pictomancer given that there's really only been one in the series before it (30-ish years ago)
