By always you mean, “Bulldozer and its derivatives”, which yes was a turd of a chip. Their Athlon stuff was great. Thankfully Ryzen looks much closer to the latter.

My family never had much growing up, but the area I grew up in was working class, so it wasn’t a big deal, although as I got into my teens I started to realize that, yes, my family was poorer and less stable than many others. Not going to the doctor unless I was “really” sick (because we had no health insurance) was…

Thresh?

lol was waiting for this

They’re talking about a digital version of a game that most of the readers on this site won’t even play as it’s not announced for this country. And the original article was not even clear that it was the digital version only that they are talking about. In other words it’s an exaggeration of the “problem”. Clickbait.

As of 2014 it was 52% digital vs 48% physical, which means a lot of people is roughly half. That also means a lot of people still buy physical copies.

Thing is, a lot of people don’t buy physical copies anymore.

I think it’s hard to deploy Melo. If you trade him to a good team you run the risk of him becoming a kind of black hole on offense and a liability on defense - bad when you already have a good thing going. It’s quite possible he gels and fits in but as we saw when James went to Miami or KD went to GSW, it can take…

Exactly half of For Honor’s cast of fighters is female.

We’ve known Jim Buss is a moron for a long time. Jeannie Buss is supposed to be the competent one, but this...

This is probably true, but remember the Kings were an elite team that got screwed out of a Finals appearance. Has a Melo team ever been close? The best the Knicks have been since he got there was getting to the 2nd round.

I’ve never talked to an out-of-towner who wasn’t utterly flummoxed and intimidated by the subway system. And I don’t blame them, necessarily. It’s tough for locals to look at it with new eyes.

Or maybe the Kings are just sick of dealing with that guy.

Except it’s not offensive as I pointed out. I said I pay my taxes. I donate a lot of money to charity. I just don’t think the thing is that we always need to pay “more” because of all the stuff you’re talking about. The government takes a lot out of my paycheck and that is a number derived through the democratic…

No one “takes responsibility” for where they end up.

I’m not sure how Krugman gets from A to B. We built a massive economy internally. Nobody disputes that. We didn’t trade because we didn’t need to. We employed massive amounts of people to build all the stuff we all used. Look back to a household in the 1960s, all the fridges, TVs, cars, clothes, etc., most of that…

So what percentage of taxes do you think you are entitled to for all that gibberish? Give me a number.

blergh. Evidently even though the Koreans are masters of efficiency, the people paying the pros feel that social lives of a sort absolutely do get in the way of peak performance. Despite what Blind Prophet says on Kotaku.

Post WW2 the rest of the developed world was a smoking rubble and someone had to step up. The country was prosperous because we were the ones who stepped up, and needed tons of manpower to produce all the shit the modern world needed. Not because we had 90% tax rates FFS.
