Of course it’s gambling. Gambling involves risking something of value (usually money) with the hope of obtaining something of greater value, but more often than not ending up with nothing of value. Just because you personally prefer sports betting and horse betting to in-game loot boxes doesn’t mean the latter isn’t…

As said in the post, they have tried reaching out to Epic in the past and never got a response. Makes sense to make a public tweet about it now since Epic is in the news for the layoffs and people directly related to the remaster of the game are part of those layoffs.

“She also said she had previously reached out to Epic but it had never responded.”

FYI, Scavengers Reign is based on a short film, also using that fabulously exotic Moebius style

I was maybe 10 or 11. My Dad was out of town at a conference and I was home with my Mom. She was preparing to go take a shower when suddenly we both heard this horrible hissing noise coming from the bathroom. To her credit, my Mom carefully went to investigate. When she came out, all the color had drained from her…

Six months of pay and healthcare means nothing when you’re forced to look for a job in a market where *hundreds of thousands* of other people have also been laid off in the last two years.

It wouldn’t be a CDPR game if it wasn’t a buggy mess that never gets fixed.

Stranger Than Fiction. Though it was more of a dramedy than a spy movie (than the director went on to make a Bond film).

I got laid off from Amazon in November. They paid me through mid January, and then I got 13 weeks of severance pay and cashed out my vacation days. Sounds sick, right? Good on them. Know what I’d rather have had? My job. How’s Amazon doing these days, by the way?

“As a (white) immigrant to the United States,” Musk said during his stream, “I am extremely pro-(white)immigrant. I believe that we need a greatly expanded legal (white) immigration system.”

I think the more noteworthy information is that Epic laid off 900 people despite making billions in revenue each year. The nice severance package doesn’t really make up for that. If you’re bringing in billions of dollars each year and still somehow losing enough money that you need to fire 900 people, that reeks of…

You can take the rich guy out of apartheid, but you can’t take the apartheid out of the rich guy.

Old, old trailer technique - and addressed & allowed for in the oldest music licensing formats for them. (Even “Tubular Bells” was manipulated to sync with effects in trailers for “The Exorcist”.)

Please put Sam Rockwell in all the movies. Like, get him and Walton Goggins in the same thing and it will instantly become my favourite thing of all time.

I think the main issue is taking away consumer options. If my friend owned Game 5 out of 7 in a franchise and we wanted to play it online together, I could usually go and buy Game 5 and away we go. I’ve done this with a game in the Battlefield franchise for example. If they had removed the old games, we’d both have to…

Dax could quite simply duck out of a conversation he’s out of his depth in and all these assholes who magically developed major concerns about women’s sports overnight could maybe make an attempt at being less transparent about the fact that they’ve found a clever way to disguise their sense of ick about trans folks. 

i always thought that was code for the jewish laser people who run the world...?
i’m not well-versed in anti-semitic garbage, tho’, so i could be wrong.

I’m a pretty forgiving Futurama fan. I think the Comedy Central seasons get way more hate than they generally deserve as most of them were all pretty decent.

Finally AV Club’s using their power of writing about a video but not posting it for good.

I’ll preface this by saying that I love the game. I’ve played the shit out of it, I will play it again with the 2.0 changes and the DLC.
