That’s exactly it. “Gamers” are notorious for losing their minds over things like this. Allow them to take the helm of claiming censorship or not allowing mature content into games and make as much noise as possible. Thus the company can be seen as doing something which is “controversial” with a segment of thier…

It was kind of both actually. GTA 1,2 and London were cool to tear ass around town but it was top down and not as immersive. Driver offered a similar experience but in 3D.  GTA 3 was basically everything driver should have been.  

Space exploration isn’t explicitly about finding resources to exploit but expanding human knowledge. That said the minerals in an asteroid would dwarf any earthly mine, the availably of room for refinement of said minerals and to generate their power from solar would vastly reduce the environmental impact on Earth.

Yes but children learn less swearing from videogames. because if you have kids you damn well know they won’t put all the Lego’s away and the language that comes out of ones mouth after stepping barefoot on one will teaching children all the swear words.  

I don’t think they have legal offline gaming in China. That’s why most consoles have been banned in China. The government wants to be able to monitor peoples playing habits.  

The problem is Bezos and Musk are better for shooting for the stars than the current members of congress. Half of them pushed for the SLS in a configuration to preserve jobs from the Space Shuttle Program and it’s a decade behind schedule and the other half would have us not explore space until we solve all the…

it works as intended the first time?

I’m enjoying Lower Decks. It just rolls with the weird of Trek and is a love letter to all that has come before it. The only detracting thing is sometimes the dialog can get speedy and it’s like watching Gilmore Girls. Season 2 is better than season 1 in that regard thankfully. Lower Decks is very much a show for…

i mean you can watch Lower Decks, Discovery, Picard, The Animated Series and the Upcoming Strange New Worlds and Prodigy as well which are not available elsewhere.

I was hoping for Saint’s in Time. criminal mayhem in the timeline. Like you have to save Kinze from wildly inaccurate prehistoric times with cave men and dinosaurs and it turns out she is leader of one of the cavemen gangs and you do drive by spearings on the tops of a triceratops and Oleg is alive there. to the…

Exactly i love using the DubStep gun in IV watching people in the streets to stop and dance as the wubs and dubs explode in the background. The sheer absurdity is great.  

Well in various anime tropes there is a strong German/Japanese cultural cross over. Given his other characteristics as an anime protagonist it reads as Japanese from space to me. The hair, smoking style, and food habits all scream Japanese.

Its amazing because I always saw Jet as black? Given the various tropes used in Cowboy Beebop, Jet has all the hallmarks of a black character. You’re probably upset that Faye’s boobs won’t go bouncing all over the place too.  

Words still have meaning regardless of how they are misapplied. The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea has one accurate word in it’s official name and that is Korea. It’s all marketing. Understanding the context is important. Historically the labels of communism and socialism were used by dictators trying to win…

This is dashing my hopes that Saint’s Row V would be “Saint’s in TIME” i mean think of all the shenanigans they could get up to in with the time machine they acquired at the end of IV. Plus how else will the Boss get to be a character in a Jane Austen novel. I mean that was a pretty good hook that they rescued Jane…

To be fair Bernie really hasn’t passed any laws he introduced advancing the things he supposedly cares about. He only is relevant if he’s the underdog so that’s why his position continually asks for more things in bills to the point of making them non-viable. 

Saying Bernie’s job is more legitimate than a streamer is the exact kind of BS that’s used to justify poverty wages across the US for all the “essential jobs” that stayed open in person during the pandemic. 

All members of congress are essentially required to maintain two residences. One in their home district and one in DC. Criticizing Sanders for owning multiple properties is a gross simplification. The rest about him not actually implementing all the bullshit he says is perfectly valid though. AOC has gotten more…

I agree. Honestly I think game companies see that in the future and they are trying to milk it for all it’s worth before the law comes in to limit them from doing so. Right now the game companies have thrust all the responsibility onto the gamer but if it comes to a court case i don’t think that the game companies…

Physical items are limited by the very nature of being physical. You could go into a store and buy booster pack or blind back but eventually they’ll run out of merchandise to sell you. That physical barrier helps limit the ability of one to spend too excessively.
