Well played

Which company set more cash on fire in the last few years, Embracer buying and then destroying 1,000 video game companies, or whatever the fuck the Metaverse is?

But, if you buy 1000 suicide bucks you can get a virtual mustache to show off on your character.  Obviously the mustache is not available until after the patch is issued.  And obviously players that don’t also buy the mustache can’t see your mustache.  And also obviously the mustache only shows if you are the party…

It only drives on mifi certified roads utilizing rose gold retina-titanium traffic lights.

You can switch it.

The entire show will be a bunch of normal humans trying to teach him genuine emotion and actual empathy.  He will fail.

A week ago I was going to buy this game if the reviews looked good.  Well, even though most reviews look good, Ubisoft is just going to have to be ok with me not buying any of their games.

It takes a special kind of douche to come across as the bad guy in a legal fight against Apple’s business practices.

It seems like the S24 Ultra 1 TB is only available through Samsung. You only get 512 if you go through your service provider.

How badly will this major security flaw hurt our bottom line, and therefore dividends?  Not much.  Then fuck it.

We are the worst.

People already have range anxiety about electric cars. Now you can’t drive your car for more than 3.5 hours without recharging the controller.

Can’t wait for all the “anime chair porn” on steam.

The batteries were likely full at launch, but the power was used up starting up the telemetry, communication, and propulsion systems. It had to connect to the deep space network and then align itself towards the sun to begin recharging the batteries for the remainder of the trip. There was more than enough battery to…

Here is what I found on the web...

Kind of off topic, but how crazy is it that a console lasted seven years on the market without a single price drop?  The closest it ever got was bundling in Mario Kart or Smash Brothers.

All your points are good. I would also add that the last two years of inflation coming on the tail end of the pandemic certainly led people to curb spending on non-essentials.

I came here to say this. I have played every GTA, but I rarely get past about 10 to 15 hours. It always feels like they spend the years between releases just focus group testing middle school poop jokes. And I could get over that, but the gameplay is just repetitive and gets old for me. I enjoyed RDR quite a bit…

Steamboat Willie Mickey hit the public domain this year and Winnie-the-Pooh entered it the year before, and it seems all anyone’s willing to put money into when these things happen is some jarring, culture-shock version of these typically wholesome characters in horror stories. If that’s as far as our imagination goes…
