I’m not sure if it would be great for ME to turn Shepherd in some kind of larger than life Master Chief figure that gets out of hand and ridiculous.

People who are exceptional at one thing frequently assume that they must be exceptional at every thing. To make matters worse, we have a society that does everything in its power to back up this delusion. Then, to make matters EVEN worse, we live in a capitalistic hellhole where people don’t even need to ACTUALLY be…

I guess the Gatcha.. Gotcha...

Listen, people turned their nose up at the bare bones Metal Gear collection but the alternative is Konami trying to pay someone to tinker with the series and that never ends well.

Nah, you’re thinking of Quantum Break.

I mean is this at all surprising given its history of being one of the MOST exploitative and abusive companies for game devs to work at, putting profits well above making good games, making targeted attacks against those employees who attempt to prioirtize making good games, and having a wide variety of beloved…

the beauty of knobs and buttons is you LEARN them, and then you don’t need to look to change them.

Tarantino should probably get therapy, but I don’t know if he’d want to foot the bill.

I can’t believe you they didn’t allow me to play with my CRT scan lines in 4k at 60fps.  (Humanity is doomed...)

This is what an an subset of tech companies effectively are trying to be - banks without any regulation.

while I’m more than 100% certain FTX did all kinds of criminal fraud, isn’t that description above just the basic description of the entire banking industry? Banks use their deposits to invest (while keeping X% as cash on hand mandated by regulation).

When the fuck are we going to stop simping for this grifter?

People give Hasan shit because he constantly criticizes US foreign policy as “imperialism” but hand waves Russia’s foreign policy on Ukraine as justified due to “US aggression”. He’s also known for defending China’s treatment of Uighars as “re-education camps” and not for the cultural genocide that it is.

He’s not a…

Indeed, which is why I also added “or otherwise ensure that they are clearly not going to start moving when I step in front of them.” Maybe that’s just the fact that there are other pedestrians in the crosswalk that they’ve clearly already seen - perhaps coming the other way. Maybe it’s just their mannerisms that…
