It’s worth noting that Lil Nas X himself isn’t being sued

Like every state that has removed state income tax, you’ll probably end up paying MORE in the long run, but people are too stupid to realize that. The way taxes work is you pay a little bit and your state turns that income into social services that would cost you a fortune if you paid for them out of pocket. No local…

Yes, taxes are complicated, and when you get into the exact details, they are relatively time consuming (since you are legally required to be correct). All this being said, they aren’t actually that hard to make rough estimations on. For instance, you pointed out that charitable contributions can’t make up more than…

There’s also no mention of the fact that this guy only pays such a high percentage for income tax because he’s already raking in millions per year, and further income past a certain point gets taxed at a higher rate.

Oh my god this math makes me freaking angry. None of this is how that works. All of the money paid to charity, all of the money paid to moderators, all of that gets deducted from taxes (NOT from net profits). If he is paying 75k to mods, and donating 80k to charity, then that means that his taxable income isn’t 300k,…

Doesn’t GoG have it? https://www.gog.com/game/heroes_of_might_and_magic_3_complete_edition

It’s got both expansions. Seems to be identical to the one I still own on disc from a billion years ago. What am I missing here?

On a more serious note, and people wonder why people let this stuff continue.

Writing about an industry-wide issue (after all, the same problems are affecting Microsoft and every PC component manufacturer as well) solely with regards to Sony seems a little odd, no? The interview you linked to with AMD’s CEO isn’t console specific, since they make the processors for the new XBox and for PC’s...

It’s also just a fucking exhausting experience. I hit a point where I was still really loving all the atmosphere, art direction, music, etc... but I was flat-out dreading the fights because they’re just so insanely hyper active and demanding. I enjoy a challenging game but Doom Eternal felt like sprinting on a…

Honestly, as an American, I would be absolutely *fascinated* to see that happen. There’s plenty of games depicting people of other countries as the bad guys, so why should we be immune to that? It’s not like America hasn’t done enough shit to deserve it. The conversation around it would be crazy, I’m sure.

My guess is that a person or a group was tasked with finding a way to make the Xbox brand more profitable and this disaster of an idea is what they came up with. I imagine they reasoned that it would get many of the remaining Xbox Live Gold holdouts to jump over to Game Pass Ultimate since the new price differential…

“did Trump change anyone’s life in a meaningful way”

I think the kids locked in cages and the people who lost family to Covid found it pretty fucking meaningful. He also undermined our elections and attempted to overthrow the government, which to quote Joe Biden is “A Big Fucking Deal”. I could go on but I’m sick of the fucker. Do not minimize the fucker, shit was not…

My expensive double-jumping cyberlegs haven’t unlocked any worthwhile new areas.

Angry vocal “Gamers” are an exhausting lot of emotionally stunted morons.

the xbox just sees them as xbox series x software and runs as normal.

I think he’s talking about code architecture, not hardware.  The PS5 and Series X have different operating systems.

The X360 controller is pretty broadly regarded as one of the best controllers ever. If you’re including it on a ‘worst controllers’ list, you might be on drugs.

I think we have very different definitions of brilliant. They didn’t invent sharing, they just made it slightly more convenient.

I have a fairly high end system. I bought Planet Coaster only to find out that the high end system also would require a new video card. When I looked at a couple other games out that I was considering, the video card required for the game I owned was already superseded by a new generation (within a year).
