yeah, im with you.  I have far more games than time.  I still havent gotten to Control on ps5.  I work 50 hours a week, like to watch some tv (my netflix backlog is disgusting)...a gamepass solution feels great on paper...but other than letting me play sony first party games for free (or the cost of the monthly…

this. You think Kottick plays any activition games? Or games? Strikes me as the guy out golfing thinking his customers are all neckbeardos in basements. My understanding is that it is actually worse in Japan. Like culturally you are supposed to have a hobby as an adult...and it is supposed to be something like…

Watching capitalism start consuming itself....would be facinating if I didnt have to actually live through it. At one point the US raced russia to put a man on the moon, i know it was pr and about developing more advanced tech for ICBMs, but it inspired people. Now....new tech comes along and Corps immediately move to…

People, but the FBI and Financial bodies are well aware.  That is why all the institutions got into it.  Everytime the panama papers or some other thing leaks, we see how much the big banks in the US and Europe are openly laundering money for drug lords, terrorists, countries under financial embargo, criminal…

agreed. but the only way countries will stop would be if the rich countries pay them to. The europeans dont have old growth forest, except for a forest on the polish-belarus border, because they cut theirs down. The US and canada have a lot, but have been doing a fine job of cutting down as much as possible. The…

Fuck you. Moderate left my ass. We have literally bailed out banks, oil companies, motor companies, give billions in subsidies to oil and gas giants, have billionaires paying negative tax rates (google how bezos and such operate, they take personal loans secured against their stock holdings, then get to deduct the…

So you have no issue with monopolies? Because nothing capitalism says you cant have them. How do you feel about the minimum wage? Because capitalism says there shouldnt be one. You know what else capitalism abhors? Anything that is done for free that could be done for profit. So, close all charities. The minute you…

Stop being polite to ben shapiro.  That guy deserves to be punched in the throat at the start of any engagement.  Douchenozzle that he is.

“a pure distillation of stupidity”  - I agree with your whole post, but that is just lovely prose there.

Even saying “capitalists” is such a loaded thing.  As opposed to what?  Devout socialists?  Staunch communists?  Never really hear much from the ardent Mercantilist or serious Feudalist crowds.  I get that we are now using “capitalist” to mean the American version of modern “exploit everything for profit no matter…

This.  I have a Cobra Commander one.  Wanted the chrome destro one, saw the price, moved on.  But that is Funko right?  Make absolutely everything, the completionists will pick up whole character lines, others just the one or two they like.  

I mean Time, NYT, most mainstream media.   Time wants controversy, the same way the MSM does.  They need to generate clicks/views talk to be relevant.

Libertarians :who aren’t as smart as they think they are

yeah, im all for increasing representation in media and making sure we are conscious of stereotypes in depictions, but it sounds like they had a character in mind, cast the actress then remodeled the character around her. Down on their luck, misenthrope, slacker, gets to go to a fantasy world and become a hero is kind…

Not sure why I am in the greys here, but since i can only reply and not actually post. This article is off because its not Sony cutting production that makes the consoles harder to get, sony is cutting production because they cant get components. Its not a choice on their part, they have no choice. That isnt making it…

I got a ps5 with a 1080p tv.  Load times.  Biggest different.  One third party games they are really short, on first parties, once in game, non existent.  Now i have a 4k...still most impressed by load times.

I have argued, from day one, that Sony and MS would have double the install bases on the new consoles if they had had the stock.  I think Sony could have done something ridiculous, like sell 15 million in the first 3-4 months if they could have gotten the consoles out there.

So I have no frame of reference, but seems like this is a solid game, but not ground breaking.  Ive read a lot of the reviews and it seems like everyone is saying “Halo is back” after 6 being lackluster in franchise that has known some highs.  But more than that, people seem to want it to be better than it is.  Now I…

I cant stand games that want to show me how cool things are....just fucking let me play.  All cut scenes should be skippable.  I like them, I watch them....but time is at a premium, you know what was rough...Gotg if you died and had to sit through a long ass cut scene to get back to where you were.  

If you are holding on to Gamestop store manager as a reason to stay... over a lesser title and pay.   I work in law, i have seen partners leave to go be Of Counsel, or an associate (if they are jr non equity partners) at other firms.  Titles are somewhat meaningless in a most fields, what you actually do matters...but…
