It makes sense if you look at 3D games as if you’re always inside a floating vehicle, whether that “vehicle” is a character’s head or the cockpit of a plane. The right thumbstick is like a knob sticking out the back of your virtual head. It makes games like GTA feel more consistent to me, whether I’m operating a…

“Non-partisan”, yet you’re describing CNN as “leftist media”. Let me guess - you’re also a huge fan of South Park and Joe Rogan.

I’m tempted to get the Series S because it looks compact and quiet and lets me reunite with my XBox friends at an attractive price. We’ll find out soon how its specs compare with the Series X but don’t expect to see blatant quality gaps in game footage. If it has improved hardware over the One X, that sounds good to me…

How exactly are things going to improve to the point where Covid is a memory? This virus isn’t going anywhere unless we have a spontaneous miracle where everyone sees the light, respects accredited experts, and grows a sense of civic responsibility. Here’s a much more likely scenario: we continue to shit our diapers…

No heists yet in Red Dead Online. GTA Online has more activity options, but it also has a lot of overpowered military/sci-fi shit that turns many players off. RDO is bigger, prettier, slower, and lacks the extreme power gaps of GTAO, so it’s easier to turn the tables if you’re attacked. RDO doesn’t have nearly as…

“at or below that of the flu”? The six-digit body count and fleet of makeshift morgue trucks heading to TX and AZ disagree with you.

I will definitely buy this when it comes out. I liked the THPS series but Skate was a huge improvement. It’s one big open world instead of small, separate levels. The physics and controls feel more grounded and natural, like real-life skating. Ridiculous mega ramp tricks are still possible, but there are no explosions…

My guess is: never. Unless they’re some kind of genius comic book villain. A plot like that would require mountains of cash, an isolated testing facility, and some considerable skill in custom robotics, engineering, and AI. And plenty of henchmen - otherwise how would these murderbots be “unleashed” on multiple cities?

This protection racket bluster just strengthens the case for radical, federally-mandated police reform.

Justice has occurred? I think you’re leaping to conclusions here. The vast majority of cops charged in cases like this get away scot-free and in many cases get re-hired elsewhere or at the very least get lauded as right-wing heroes and score an interview on Hannity.

What would a sane alternative be? Remember, if no relief plan passes you’re talking about a tsunami of evictions & defaults and a homeless population that jumps up by several dozen million. Should we just tell all those newly homeless Americans “sucks to be you”? Do you think you’ll be insulated from the blowback of a…

This would be a temporary UBI until a vaccine arrives and it’s safe to pack ourselves into restaurants, stadiums, and theaters again. What’s the “fiscally conservative” plan? Sit idly by as a wave of evictions and defaults creates millions of newly-homeless Americans and infection numbers shoot through the roof?

I love theaters, the popcorn smell, the audience reactions, and I really want to see Tenet and Dune on the largest possible screens, but *shoulder shrug*... adapt or die. Not that long ago, one of our local AMC venues shut down due to lack of upkeep, bedbugs, and a host of other issues. No doubt the shareholders still…

If people are still allowed to congregate around concession stands and bathrooms, then there’s no benefit to drive-ins.

Let’s see, one group has a documented record of producing “lone wolves” who plot and commit mass murder - often targeting mosques or synagogues for some reason.

Absurd? I think 500K is a ridiculously rosy estimate. Sounds eerily like the people who thought Lehman Bros would rebound in 2008. The US is on track to quadruple that 500k estimate at the very least. We had a chance to limit deaths to 500K about a month ago but, you know... shareholders. Mass underreporting, abysmal…

As if that matters. 9 out of 10 service members will rationalize it, wipe the piss off their face and gleefully vote R again next fall, like the craven little bootlickers they are. Anything to stick it to the libtards!

From what I’ve read, they’ll offer two versions: The full-featured model in this article and a lower priced no-disc version that won’t have as much high-resolution GPU power.

I look forward to buying a Rev 2 version of this console sometime in Fall 2021 in order to avoid the heat, fan, and solder issues that will undoubtedly plague the launch editions.

Yeah this game seems ideal for VR. Even though you wouldn’t feel the physical sensations of acceleration or turbulence, it could be very helpful for fearful flyers. Part of what helped me get over my own aversion to flying was immersing myself in hours and hours of aviation YouTubes and flying the GTA Luxor jet around…
