I went back and played through ‘Syndicate’ earlier in the pandemic (because free = good!) and I remember it taking about 90 seconds for me to realize how utterly disappointing the Carriage mechanic was, and how frustrating it was to use.

I’ve got this sick Hook-shot grapple to swing like a Victorian Spiderman around…

New law? Absurd, and hilarious. The quicker the Communist party fails because of existential corruption, the better.

Buuuuutttt...

From the start of real rumblings in the US for independence until the start of the Civil war, Great Britain effectively bukakke’d China with drugs. It’s easy to forget that shit lasted for…

It’s certainly not the only reason, but arguing that the Chinese social psyche isn’t at all impacted by the fact that a foreign Imperial power tried to destabilize a good chunk of an entire ethnic group from 1773 to 1860 is borderline absurd.

It’s an utterly pervasive event that impacted virtually every form of…

Huh, this looks interesting...

I treasure Blazing Saddles - my dad was a HUGE Brooks fan, and I was fed a steady diet of Spaceballs and Young Frankenstein - but I don’t think my kid should see it until at least his teen years, and even then, I dunno...

It’s really, really fascinating (and sad) how much “I thought we were done with this shit” ideology and language has come back with a vengeance in the last, oh, say, 4-and-a-half-ish years.

It’s almost as though there was some kind of position of traditional authority and respect that was compromised with someone who…

I mean if Korn didn’t completely ruin the parenting ability of a generation, I don’t think virtual hookers is going to.

I’m just saying that at this point, I’m quickly losing the ability to resist exploiting stupid people financially.

You watch 30+ hours of television every week, nobody bats an eye, you watch 30+ hours of streams and people lose their minds.

They *also* talked about doing business travel for more than a decade, so Boomer Alert Accordingly. :p

I have been a top-tier frequent renter with Hertz for work travel for more than a decade

There’s a ton of people down in the comments who seem to think Hertz is a Corvette-and-Mustang dispenser, and who clearly hadn’t spent much time at a rental counter before the lockdown.

The traditional car rental model was already about as attractive as a burning garbage barge before Travel became a no-no. We’re…

90 years ago ‘The Firm’ was so upset about the scandal of a monarch dating a divorcee that they had investigators trail Edward VIII to try to get evidence of vivacious acts. This from a country that has King Henry VIII plastered across their history...

Know who most of the world thinks is more important than the Queen?…

I love your Haute Horology analogy, but for a different reason:

The majority of PP’s value is built into the exclusivity of the brand. They don’t make a ton of them, ever. But you could show most people a 6-figure platinum bullhead chrono and they’d have no clue what it was worth. Only people who are familiar with the…

I mean it’s Blockchain.

Ergo it’s *Fucking. Stupid.*

These NBA Top Shots are only valuable so long as crypto fans can convince themselves they have value, something anyone investing in Bitcoin or crypto art is admittedly very good at.

Here’s the only part of the equation I don’t understand: Where the actual fuck are the people that give vTubers money getting that money in the first place?

Like, is this still “I don’t pay rent because I live in the parent’s basement at 28" or are people working actual jobs that take time and effort and then taking…

Besdides, we are talking about consoles, not games.

Good luck getting one, but it’s beside the point.

I started this new generation of game consoles with the expectation that I would be playing most games on the PS5 Actual Videogames instead of refreshing Retailer sites to see if they had any consoles in stock at MSRP finally...

Your case was made 19 years ago by a bunch of boring old white guys who cancelled orders on new 7's when they saw what it looked like. Then literally every other luxury automaker fell over themselves trying to do the same thing, because selling cars to people under 60 is so much more profitable than selling them to…
