This is like watching to half informed people make an argument.  Im heavily critical of police.  But if you think they serve no function.....I dont think there is a reasonable discussion to be had as you clearly dont understand even the base mechanics of the criminal justice system.

the defund the police movement, like a whole lot of progressive and far left moverments...just has awful messaging.  Its about police accountability, its about cutting funding to police in favor of shifting it to community policing initiatives (so its not really a funding cut its just changing allocations).  Its…

Bane isnt a hedge fund, they are a VC unit.

No plural, it was Bane Capital.  Romney’s old haunt.  I dont think Toys R Us would still be around if Bane had left, it just would have lasted longer.  The way they screwed the employees is what bothers me.

ToysRus was headed for the grave yard as is, Gamestop will be eventually too.  TRU didnt have the market clout that Target, Walmart, and Amazon had.  Toy sales have generally been on a fairly steady decline.  Traditionally, girls stop playing with toys before boys, and now boys move on to video games sooner than even…

i wouldnt be shocked if the movie rights thing didnt have something to do with it.  Makes it a bit easier to negotiate getting Spiderman in more marvel things.

I believe that Indy game was in dev before MS bought Bethesda.

Actually batman had quite a few by then.  Spiderman had some ok games in 2d, but spiderman, spiderman the movie, spiderman 2 had been great.  Batman had a lot of solid 2d games (NES Batman, Revenge of the Joker on Gen and NES, Batman and Robin on Gen and SNES..two similar but different games that were both great in…

didnt insomniac have another game that was published in the ps4 era...i think by gamestop for some reason.

God of War, Spiderman, and Red Dead 2 all came out in one year.  Pretty crazy.  

I dont know.  MS has dumped a lot into that division....its not whether it makes money, its the rate of ROI.  Its why a game being profitable isnt enough...if a company can get a better rate of return..thats what they do.  Its why Activision just abandoned anything that couldnt be franchised or sequilized for regular…

Also, this shopping around of spiderman had to be either pre launch of Xbox One or close to launch, considering that Spiderman showed up at E3 at least by 2016 in a form that would be recognizable to the end product.  So it had to be a year or two into dev at the time.  That wasnt a six month job on the screen at E3…

Maybe. But MS only had that one game with Insomniac. I dont know that MS would have immediately thought of them.  They had a long history with Sony. Also...the PS4 is more powerful than the base xb1. Enough that it would have required changes. Now it would have been just fine on the One X (that being more powerful…

Yeah, outside of the comics....i dont think any other story has nailed spiderman as well.   

Combat is great right off the bat. What you have to realize is that spiderman is supposed to be mobile. If you sit and slug it out you lose. I mean spiderman is supposed to be strong enough to pick up a car, but its almost impossible to structure a game that way. Its why no one can nail superman. If you keep moving…

Just because jobs was also an asshole doesnt make it the same.  Musk gets up on stage and touts products that never come out.  In 2021 Tesla had recalls that negated all 2020 sales.  They are constantly restating production and sales numbers out of China and always down.  Jobs was fundamental in making Apple what it…

Crime is keeping the price propped up, when I saying backing it....a dollar has value because it is issued by the Fed Reserve under the authority granted by congress.  It is backed by the full faith and credit of the US.  Its why when the GOP plays chicken with the debt ceiling it is infuriating.  The US has never…

I would like nothing less for him to have to watch Tesla collapse and be sold off and have him spend a decade dealing with investor and shareholder suits left and right.  But this is america, unless he swindles some rich people, really rich people, nothing will happen.  

 Just absolutely no introspection.  You call yourself truth?  Fucking hilarious.  If Musk dropped dead, tesla would be fine...except perhaps the fraud would collapse, but even then, worst case it would get sold off.  Musk is no engineer...he has nothing to do with their design implementation.  All he does is shill for…

right.....no way did Musk vote democrat, racist arpatheid trust fund bro?  Dude voted gop.
