Every hospital requires the flu shot.  Most places where you might be in contact with patients also require it.  Liberal/conservative has nothing to do with it, it’s just facts.

That’s...not how the flu works.  If you got sick from a flue shot (which is virtually impossible unless you have AIDs or something similar that compromises your immune system) you would get sick the next day, two at the most if you got the shot late in the day.

All right, other folks just told you to fuck off, but I’ll give you the courtesy of a more in-depth breakdown.

It’s important to note that Warren herself didn’t make it a big deal and it was Harvard that publicized it. The question was whether or not you qualify for Native American subsidies, Elizabeth Warren checked the box because technicaly she does, even though she never claimed them.

But there were plenty of profitable games that weren’t so gigantic too. It’s not like EA became as big as it did by having a bunch of commercial failures, after all. The price hasn’t changed on games, that’s true, but what has changed is the size of the audience. What was once a fairly small, niche entertainment…

I do have a solution: make smaller games. The problem is the massive scale of these games inherently makes them inefficient and expensive.  As many developers have shown, you can make better games with smaller, more efficient teams if each release doesn’t need to be this massive, hideous monstrosity.

So, I get that you have strong views having been in the military but...

I mean, quite frankly it’s the best voice experience I’ve had while playing games so far. The fact that you can set up your own servers with multiple channels so that you can say, have a thread for different games you’re playing with friends is great. I’m not shocked that Discord hasn’t banned the racist servers, I…

Detroit and Sacramento probably aren’t happening, don’t think they’ve been frontrunners for some time now. At this point my bet would be Austin, Cincy, Miami (first three are givens), Nashville and St Louis, maybe Phoenix.

It’s not that crazy if you consider that the US has a larger population than both countries combined.

It’s not siequesting, it’s busy work, that’s the difference.  It’s grinding.  Sidequests are there for extra entertainment that you do because it’s entertaining.  I’ve been playing RPGs a long time, probably longer than you’ve been alive, AC: Odyssey is not an RPG, it’s an open world action game with grind.

Erm, you aren’t reading the article correctly; net income shows them making a profit every year. EA was making a profit before adding microtransactions and lootboxes, they just weren’t making obscene profits. They just weren’t making easy profits. Now they are putting out fewer products and making more money,…

Citation for...all of that?  Because companies like Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc. are making money hand over fist.  And let’s not forget, this system is one of the “AAA” publishers own making.  They built things up so large that only a handful of big companies could compete in that space, they demanded that every game…

I really wouldn’t be. Some of my favorite “AAA” games were story heavy and fairly short. Mirror’s Edge, Remember Me, Dead Space, Enslaved etc. At most a single play through of those games were maybe 20 hours, but it was worth it and I even revisit them from time to time.  If I want volume of content I can go play an…

It’s the fact that you literally can’t that is the problem, not that anyone is paying to play just part of the game. They’ve literally put a level gate in front of you to prevent you from progressing.

There’s no depth to the game though, they use the grind and level up of RPGs, but none of the depth and interesting dialogue to flesh out characters.  It’s the shallowness of it all, not the system itself.

I mean, that depends on what you consider to be “grind” exactly.  If I just want to play the main storyline of Odyssey, it sounds like I either have to go and do a bunch of side quests or pay for an XP boost.  Given how grindy and boring the last game was, I’m more inclined to believe reviewers who say the game is…

Yes it is, actually. A lot of times when a company is “bought” the actual investors who own the stock aren’t getting paid much, as part of the agreement is that the buying company pays off/takes over all the company’s debts.

Or just officially decommission the birds that haven’t flown in a while and turn them into parts.

I mean...we kinda already have. We don’t necessarily have troops everywhere, but we have bases around the globe and are able to hit pretty much any ground target from the air in a matter of hours of someone giving the order. It’s not the sort of conquest in which we get to shout “Your country is ours now, mwahahaha!”…
