Why would they need to arrest 150 million people? They'd let everyone in heavily Republican districts vote just fine, perhaps just a few random arrest at any precincts in Democratic areas. Their main focus would be urban areas, especially in blue states. And it wouldn't have to be everyone to get many, if not most people, to stay home. Early voting in your district? Great way to get ICE's arrests of people in line on the news before the big day, further driving down turnout. Filtering mail in ballots at the USPS not enough? Just happen to have some ICE agents drive by the drop boxes and oops, we saw an "illegal" voting, all these ballots are invalid, we'll be taking those. Local police try to step in (as if)? Insurrection Act, military deployed to all voting locations, ballots seized.
This shouldn't be hard to understand: there are any number of things an unfettered executive can do to turn the election that isn't simply cancelling them.
I really regret ruining Outer Wilds for myself, I had to look up a few solutions because I was very stuck, but I should have kept trying. Part of the issue, which I vow to never have again, is that I kept underestimating the creators, since it was an indie game, I figured that there was some parts of it that might have inelegant solutions, but no, don't make this same mistake! Outer Wilds is perfectly designed. Everything is solvable with in-game clues, but you're going to die many times in the meantime.
also another issue is that I accidentally (spoilers) got into the final vault very very early in the game, completely by accident (I didn't realize how accidental it was until I was actively trying to get back in later in the game). That was a bit unfortunate, because all the end-of-game exposition mostly confused me!
same here! Incredible game, I am saving it for a few years from now. I was obsessed with it for several days during the pandemic and solved all the puzzles but still remember a little too much of it.
i really don't understand why people keep thinking this. i'm easily 10x more productive since Claude Code came out. it's insane how much stuff you can build quickly, especially on personal projects.
