I mean, if I were an F1 driver forced to race that track I’d use any excuse I could find to cancel the race.  It’s just a matter of time before someone dies there.  I’ll be watching the whole thing with clenched teeth tomorrow.  Two red flags in qualifying alone.

Hmm, seems beef there still may be.

Dunning-Kruger applies to gasoline prices as well. The people that are like “how complex could the production and politics of gasoline be?” are the ones that act like there’s a knob in the White House that says “Gas Prices” that a President can just turn down at any time but never does. I say this as a chemical…

The EQ branding is dumb and always has been. Being cute (and wearing your self-satisfaction with your “cleverness” on your sleeve) with your naming conventions wears thin quickly. Oh, wow, you took the “E” in EV and replaced the “I” in “IQ”, brilliant. It’s one rung above making an EMG electric sub brand of AMG. In an…

It’s the “good times will never end” of low gas prices that happens every decade or so. I got premium for less than a dollar in the late 90s and it regularly stayed between $1-2 on average and creeped up to $4-6 in 2008. It’s how you got V10 Ford Excursions with 10mpg and no one blinked. Then the small car boom in…

Exactly, Republicans are happy to sell you the rope to hang yourself with. In this case, they’re happy to increase gas prices knowing it will help them in the midterms. 

I finally got my brother in law to try Elden Ring. He’s also not into punishing and I sat him down and walked him through the loop. He loves it now. I’ve never played a Dark Souls to the end, but I Platinum’d Bloodborne and this feels refined in the way Bloodborne did, just in an open world. Modern games have kind of…

If it takes you more than an hour or two to beat a boss, then you’re doing something wrong, are under-leveled, etc. Everyone was hyping up Godrick but after 4 deaths getting his patterns down and 20 minutes he was dead. There are tells, sound queues, etc. that make it way easier if you’re taking notice.

Well, by 2023 they’ll be able to do a present day campaign on domestic soil against Nazis and be relevant.

Because they aren’t ACTUALLY good with money, they’re just gamblers that got lucky and their winnings are burning a hole in their pockets.

The only really annoying thing is that there wasn’t just a “transfer all” option for the FFVII saves, instead of having to do them one at a time jumping back and forth between PS4 and PS5 versions.

I think people underestimate the out of nowhere capital generated by pump and dump crypto bros and meme stocks. The current trend of ridiculous upward prices of anything flaunted on Insta (luxury watches, cars, etc) is a direct result of large influxes of liquidity in people that never had money before. I mean, look…

...is it unusual for something that didn’t exist a couple years ago to see claims increasing? If car insurance had been a thing it wouldn’t have been weird to see claims “increasing” 5-6 years after the first car went on sale.  That’s how things work.

I’m starting to think the GameStop listing Monday that sold me two 2TB for $209 each was a pricing mistake.  Not that I’m complaining.

Let me know when someone adds the Fist of the North Star mod from Dead Island

Things like xCloud and GeForceNow were ALWAYS better bets.  If helps to know that if you’re spending money on games that Microsoft and Nvidia won’t suddenly stop supporting games on a whim.

Probably more in response to the Bethesda purchase in 2020.  Sony already had a relationship in regards to content coming to Playstation first, those connections probably just bloomed into acquisition talks when Sony panicked about Microsoft’s studio buying spree in the past couple years.

You mean the producers of the stupidest “game show” in the world? A show where they might as well put contestant in a cardboard box and have the “judges” shout random celebrity names until they’ve either exhausted the list or randomly shouted the right name? A show where they could save an hour of your life and just…

Yes, from the looks of it, Sony paid A LOT of money just to stunt on Microsoft. From the wording of Bungie’s own statement about the acquisition (still self-publishing, creatively independent, prioritizing their own IP, multi-platform), Sony is initially just paying for the ability to say they own Bungie. They…
