I think Sony’s Playstation division honestly tries, but is just generally bad because Sony as a whole is fucking terrible.

I think Nintendo honestly knows you’ll pay whatever for your hit of nostalgia, and sincerely doesn’t give a fuck.

Infrastructure, environment, and health. When you add in all of the externalities the US, between citizens and the gov, are spending likely $2 - $3 trillion/year on maintaining our car-centric lifestyle. By comparison, we spend about $60 billion on transit. EVs are not going to significantly solve that problem (only…

You’re going to have a shit when you find out how much government money goes to car manufacturers, oils companies, oil pipelines, ....

CRT bears a striking similarity to the Salem witch trials.

Surely the conservative reactionaries will be out in full force any minute now to defend this man from “Cancel Culture.”

I fell off of them because there was no Virtua Fighter for a long time

They also won’t be in a hurry to promote you.

I’ve had this glitch (?) happen to me a few times. It comes back eventually usually but it’s so annoying.

The comment notifications system though is completely busted. I often am completely unable to find comments people have replied to mine because I’ll click it in my notifications, it loads up the default comments…

Dude, did I literally not say this in my comment? I mean, thats literally what I said.

This also hits on why I find the first comment such an absurd response to the criticism here.

From the moment the first trailer for Far Cry 6 dropped in July 2020, I knew this was the series’ same old schtick, which includes dialling up the “no politics, but really authentic” bullshit up a notch every single installment.

I mean...it’s Far Cry. Knowing nothing about 6, I’m assuming that Giancarlo’s character is at the center of a complex sociopolitical powder keg that the game will refuse to address in any satisfying narrative way.

I mean, a major game created by majority-white developers making the enemy brown-people-in-politically-charged-setting is making it more than that. That’s the whole point, the one many oblivious gamers and developers keep missing.

“Texas High School’s First Black Principal Suspended Because White Parents and School Administrators Are Racist.”

*Mouths the phrase “Fuck ubisoft”*

That’s why it’s so baffling that it keeps trying to be more than that.  

I mean if you’re entertained by that then the transaction is done. You’ve been entertained. It’s still work to find a spot, and make the “magic” that is television. But yeah, there are shameless grifters whose content is so lazy it’s unwatchable.

They’re just small business owners. Sure you have con artists and charlatans in any business - look at Tesla. But doesn’t mean they are all bad. They are providing entertainment which is a service and getting paid. Plus, most YouTubers are putting in twice the hours of a regular wage earner to film, edit, produce and…

We had hoped that when Mike stepped down from the host position at Jeopardy! it would have minimized the disruption and internal difficulties we have all experienced these last few weeks. That clearly has not happened.
