PM is a fucking nightmare. The EPA seems to be hoping to beat a court case that takes a huge swath of vehicles off the road.

Congress passes taxes, not the EPA. If the EPA could tax we'd just have a carbon tax and none of this softshoe would be necessary.

I think the main problem is that people insist on 60fps because it's a number that is higher than 30, not because it adds anything to the gaming experience by itself.

I bought Gotham Knights as part of the Humble charity bundle and frankly 60fps just made how uninspired it was stand out.

When I totalled our Fit we went back to the dealership saying we didn’t want a lease, we wanted to buy. After stonewalling us for thirty minutes they offered us a lease more expensive than our payment.

And then their proprietary systems will brick their cars.

“RE4’s microtransactions are reminders that we don’t have to buy all this shit corporations tell us we need but that we don’t actually need.”

I have some really bad news about *checks notes* literally the entirety of gaming.

To be fair, I get it. There’s no way to prove people still own copies of these games conclusively, so Sony and Nintendo have every right to tell Microsoft “At least make it HARDER for people to play our games without paying us.”

On the flip side, as all three of them damn well know, legal and cheap copies of these…

Nintendo: Has the best selling console.

LOL $1500? Asus sells pretty solid gaming laptops for like a third less.

I have been a gamer for over thirty years and you are 100% correct.

There was that truly wonderful moment recently when The Hill, a right-wing rag, brought Bethany Mandel onto their podcast, a woman who wrote an entire book about “wokeness” being bad, and they set her up a simple softball: What is “woke?”

Look up the thing around his tennis instructor. Or what he tried to do to the Veteran's Administration. Or just the bathroom situation at Marvel. He should have been binned the minute the sale went through.

Yeah that isn’t even scratching the surface of Perlmutter being a total piece of shit. It's telling it took his takeover attempt for Disney to be done with him, but he should have been fired years ago.

Nobody uses Microsoft’s platform to buy PC games if they can possibly avoid it. That’s why they’re buying a major third-party publisher, to force their way into other sales platforms. 

Pretty much that, yeah. They were fairly open that they planned to use this leverage to force Disney to run all their stuff by them. Hence the stuff about not being allowed to use their copyrights. I’m not a lawyer but as far as I can tell the deal boils down to “OK, you want the stuff we don’t own back, no problem,…

I feel like the big problem for E3 was the PAX cons captured what we were supposed to think E3 was like but it was, you know, actually FUN.

I started reading GamePro in second grade and I cannot remember a single E3 event from then until now.

I have to wonder how many people are fully aware shooting the lake is a bad plan but do it anyway, because let's face it, FAFO is part of the fun of many games.

It is going to be fall-down fucking funny watching Microsoft and Sony hug it out through gritted teeth in five years as they sign a deal to turn all their first party exclusives into just “timed” exclusives, because neither of them can afford to keep their games truly exclusive anymore.
