But calling the highest ranking woman ever in US government

You do realize that the majority of sales for the FF series, especially post-FFVII, have come from outside of Japan, in particular US and EU sales?

Further, with increased development costs, SE (and most developers/publishers) cannot depend on home market sales alone for big budget titles. Sure, certain genres of games…

It’s because MS realized years ago that focusing on PC + GamePass + Services is a much easier way to make money and keep people within the Microsoft ecosystem of gaming.

People forget that this was their intention dating all the way back to Games for Windows Live and attempting cross-platform gaming using Vista and…

The last two times I went to Gamestop for a game were both midnight releases (and coincidentally, both in 2015 when I was just a bit closer and within walking distance of Gamestop).

1. GTA V for PC (I already had it for 360)
2. MGS V for PC

The MGS V was actually a digital code and I simply wanted to do a midnight…

Haha, I studied economics in college so discussion like these are a bit second-nature, but thank you for the kind compliment.

Gamestop’s big issue is that they have a lot of expensive real estate and other overhead that they can’t quickly get rid of and are dependent on once-in-a-blue-Moon revenue streams (such as the release of a new console, a big game release, or idiotic Redditors goosing the stock price) in order to stay afloat.

The…

maybe when Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka dropped out of events and obligations to preserve their sanity it was actually an inflection point for others to do so, because this is a WAY healthier way to deal with stress than what SNL performers used to do, i.e. tons of coke, alcohol, pot, etc.

Some people thrive on that (obviously Keenan Thompson found his sweet spot),

I’m a wrestling fan, so the one comparable incident I can compare it to is Chris Benoit and his family. The WWE had an entire Raw episode dedicated to Chris and his career when it was still unknown exactly what transpired. A day later, it was revealed that it was a murder-suicide committed by Chris, so the WWE had a…

(racial discrimination for Woods and Jordan).

Also, I agree with the chip on his shoulder concept, because that might be leading him to continue to just override other areas of his life in pursuit of more winning or records. What is that, the blind spot effect? So maybe psychosis is too strong, but if you are lead by that it is clearly affecting other parts of…

I think the most interesting thing about Brady, when compared to all of the obviously monomaniacal athletes who have reached the pinnacle of their respective sports, is that he doesn’t appear to have any sort of vices that are understandable as a way to blow off steam and relax.

Michael Jordan was a gambling addict.…

People keep saying it’s an $850M franchise... I’m not sure how they arrive at that figure. If we’re saying 2M total sales, at $50 a sale, that’s $100M total in gross sales. Again... not a lot for 2 games before taking out all the overhead.

The truth that people forget is that Nvidia boned themselves when they dropped the 1080ti for only $699. It performed nearly as good as the Titan XP (a $1199 card), obliterated the Vega 64 (which was an admittedly less expensive card designed to compete with the regular 1080, but as AMD’s highest-end card at launch),…

Not at all.

To be that calm implies that the cheater is certain that 1. He/she won’t be caught and 2. He/she will be successful.

Chess (and many other games/sports/etc.) have too many variables to have anywhere close to that latter certainty, and if you were engaged in a game/sport where that latter certainty is…

Interestingly enough, CMGi didn’t go bankrupt. While their stock collapsed, and they pulled out out of the naming deal, they never actually went bankrupt, and in fact got a huge cash infusion in 2000 when Yahoo! bought GeoCities.

They’re still around on NASDAQ, although they changed their name in 2018 to Steel…

Yeah, I really don’t know why this is such a complicated process when you consider how quickly foreign nations (even relatively liberal ones) will permanently ban entry of Americans who were convicted of minor drug-related offenses (specifically weed)...in America. She committed multiple felonies of a nature that can…

Cardi’s mom is Trinidadian and apparently of African and Spanish descent.

I wonder how the one-drop rule intersects with the ability to say the N-word

I’m only 31, but the last romcom I can conclusively remember seeing in theaters was Hitch, back in 2005, when Will Smith was still on top of the acting world.

Romcoms simply don’t work as theatrical releases anymore, specifically romcoms that are structured around the interactions of only two people. As an ensemble…
