@bloodbornelore: Nah. You're both wrong.

According to the BBC (and many other verifiable sources):

On 8 December 2016, Hillary Clinton made a speech in which she mentioned "the epidemic of malicious fake news and false propaganda that flooded social media over the past year."

"It's now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences," she said.

...

President-elect Trump took up the phrase the following month, in January 2017, a little over a week before taking office. In response to a question, he said "you're fake news" to CNN reporter Jim Acosta. Around the same time he started repeating the phrase on Twitter.

Merriam-Webster cites examples of the phrase "fake news" being used by publications in the late 1800s.

BuzzFeed News media editor Craig Silverman is widely given credit for popularizing the term in 2014.

HDR is a definite improvement, for sure.

"Normal" color range looks washed-out and bland by comparison.

That's my opinion after 3-4 years of having an HDR-compatible TV.

It's can be a bit heavy on the RNG at times - not so much during battle, but rather the type (and quality) of rewards you earn after battles.

Otherwise, solid mechanics and gameplay. 16 hours and counting, with no regrets.

Disco Elysium was already an outstanding game, so I'm looking forward to this "Final Cut".

That's without considering the game's "politics", as well.

As far as the in-game politics go, it is an incredible achievement to have created a game so wholly embraced by the entire real-life political spectrum.

@skyhighgam3r: The headline is a summation of the article it heads, yes.

The headline "summation" claims Biden said something.

The article doesn't state that Biden said anything.

@skyhighgam3r: That's not the issue.

Headline: "PS5, Xbox Series X Component Shortage To Be Investigated, President Biden Says"

Article: not a single Biden quote

People can mock the price, and people can mock the company for whatever reasons.

Take care of your backs, though. Seriously. There's an expiration date on your youthful feelings of invincibility, and frequent neglect only brings that day closer.

Imagine your body as a controller with stick drift and input lag for the rest of your life. That's what will happen.

@sony1979: U.S. author and playwright Sinclair Lewis said in 1935, "When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

U.S. politician Huey Long (D) also said in 1935, when asked if Fascism will come to the United States: "Sure, only we'll call it anti-Fascism."

Huey Long's quote has often been misattributed to Churchill.
