The GOP is distancing itself from its controversial nominee for North Carolina governor.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party are ditching Mark Robinson, their scandal-plagued nominee in the North Carolina governor’s race.

Robinson has been battling to keep his head above water after claims that he called himself a “Black Nazi” and made other offensive comments on a pornographic website.

But it appears the national GOP hierarchy are prepared to let him drown. The Republican Governors Association said in a statement that they are pulling Robinson’s financial support.

    Okay but can we categorize people based off their opinions on obscure cult classic Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura? Cause so far its been hilarious getting peoples reactions to it, I can also tell how poor they were based on how long theyve known about it.

        Sadly I only found out about it due to the slavic king of OG CRPGs Warlocracy. But I did buy fallout 1 & 2 at a pawnshop in Arkansas around 2011, it was my birthday and I wanted to play them since I played New Vegas no one really wants to argue with the obsessed now twelve year old and one of my kithsmen vouched for it saying he played it when he was my age.

          So many amazing ideas in Arcanum. Time to finally check out the various modernization patches and mods and give it a spin.

          My first CRPG was also from a pawnshop! Though it was the original Wizardry in 1982 ;)

      I really liked that game. I don’t know why I keep seeing it pop up but recently grabbed it again for a few bucks. The performance is absolutely godawful on Linux, hopefully I can tweak that.

      I remember somehow having access to summons way overpowered from where I should have been? If memory serves, everyone who tried to start something with my character was smeared into a paste by literal demons. I never finished because I completely lost track of the quests I was supposed to do.
