Don't think he ever had a 'huge' lead, but he sure did blow whatever he did have.

He's right

That "if" doing some real heavy lifting

Well yeah, but that's assuming their pollster quality metric is actually good. Without knowing the result, who's to say that previously reputable pollsters weren't "bought" this cycle. With the billionaire interest and dark money floating around, why not?

Polls are shit, go vote!

It's because right-wing pollsters are flooding the landscape with fudged polls. They're literally all liars, why do we trust their polling methodologies. Seems to me they're just setting up for the eventual loss so they can point to this polling during the Steal 2.0.

TurboTax: The Ultimate Tax Filing Simulator

Genre: Financial Management Simulator
Developer: Intuit Inc.
Platform: PC, Mac, Mobile
ESRB Rating: E for Everyone (Mild Financial Peril)

Overview

In the vast landscape of gaming, few titles dare to venture into the treacherous realm of personal finance. Enter TurboTax, the groundbreaking simulator that turns the daunting task of filing taxes into an edge-of-your-seat adventure. With its annual releases rivaling the consistency of sports franchises, TurboTax continues to push the boundaries of what we consider "gameplay."

Gameplay

TurboTax throws players into the deep end of the US tax code, challenging them to navigate a labyrinth of forms, schedules, and deductions. The game's primary mechanic revolves around data entry, but don't let that fool you – each keystroke could mean the difference between a hefty refund or a gut-wrenching audit.

The difficulty curve is steep, with early levels easing players in with simple W-2 forms before ramping up to the boss battles of itemized deductions and capital gains. The "Audit Defense" DLC adds an extra layer of strategy, allowing players to prepare for potential post-game challenges.

Graphics and Sound

While TurboTax won't be winning any awards for its visual fidelity, the UI design is clean and intuitive. The soothing blue color palette seems designed to calm players as they face the stress of potential miscalculations.

The soundtrack is minimal, mostly consisting of the rhythmic clicking of keyboard keys and the occasional sigh of relief (or despair) from the player. The satisfying "cha-ching" sound effect when discovering a new deduction is particularly addictive.

Replayability

TurboTax offers unprecedented replayability, with the game world resetting every calendar year to provide fresh challenges. Players can look forward to new tax laws and updated forms, ensuring that no two playthroughs are ever the same.

Microtransactions

Like many modern games, TurboTax includes a range of microtransactions. Players can opt for the base "Free Edition" or upgrade to premium versions for access to more complex questlines and exclusive features. The "Audit Risk Meter" powerup is a popular purchase among hardcore players.

Conclusion

TurboTax may not be for the faint of heart, but for those seeking a unique challenge in resource management and data analysis, it offers an unparalleled experience. The sense of accomplishment upon successfully filing your taxes is comparable to defeating a final boss in more conventional RPGs.

While it may lack the flashy graphics and intense action sequences of AAA titles, TurboTax compensates with deep strategy and real-world consequences. It's a niche title, to be sure, but one that has carved out its own dedicated fanbase in the gaming world.

Score: 8/10
"A thrilling dive into the world of personal finance that somehow makes number-crunching feel like an epic quest."

Weak energy

Funnily Novyi Put' means "New Path" in Russian

Of course not, sometimes it really is just corpo bs, don't use their app if it's such an issue for you.

Yup, this is important for certain apps with a high security bar. Surprised at all the downvotes.
