I feel like all this came out in 2013 too. But the way this shit was viewed in 2013 was so different from today, I think most people just ignored it.

What the fuck are you talking about? The gaming market is already anti consumer/anti competitive. It’s been that way since the 90s. If you don’t like it, take it up with Sony. They are the ones that chased exclusives and turned the gaming industry into what it is. Microsoft just opened their coffers to prevent Sony…

Bear in mind, we live in a time where literally every terrorist act that involves a white person is immediately called a false flag. These people don’t give a shit about the truth or justice, they only care about finding their next fix for their addiction to false victimhood. So, really it doesn’t matter what they…

These cops probably knew if they followed the thread they’d end up at some Republican state senator’s doorstep.

I guess it’s not a surprise it wasn’t mentioned in the article, but physical media, especially in gaming, is already done and has been for quite some time now. There’s a reason you have to install a game before you can play it, even with a disc. Without an internet connection, that disc is just a frisbee.

I don’t know if you noticed this, but you can’t just put a game into a console and play anymore. Everything requires installation regardless of having a disc. The disc itself is just proof you bought it. It just tells whoever is delivering the content that you are authorized to download it. We went full digital a long…

It goes beyond just saving money. It’s getting harder and harder to use discs in any capacity for games because they are becoming so bloated. I’m sure it’s nothing short of a nightmare trying to compress data onto a disc that simultaneously has to pull even more data down from a server when it gets put into a machine.

I’m not sure why the leak “reignited fears”. Why did the fears ever go away? These companies, be it Microsoft, Nintendo, or Sony, all have the ability to lock your game whether you own a disc or not. The disc today is more or less a method for authentication, to prove you bought the game. I’m assuming anyone who is…

This is only going to get worse until the industry collapses. We’ve reached that stage in capitalism where producing quality is no longer enough to satisfy shareholders. They now require sustained value from content. They are wanting games to last decades instead of a year. So you end up with all these subscription…

It’s funny watching the GOP try to make this work without admitting how boned they are. Their voter base is the smallest it’s ever been, their voters are too distracted with culture war shit and conspiracy theories to trust anyone anymore, so they can’t rely on their gullibility to bring them to the polls anymore, and…

It’s a coming of age story that features a space patrol officer, a robot that may or may not be the pirate lord, and an evil galactic corporation trying to stupify the galaxy and they use scooters and guitars as their weapons. What’s not to understand?

Until you confirm that the PS5 is getting crossplay, you should not get people’s hopes up. Sony is notorious for restricting their customers to a single console environment. They are terrified of the prospect of allowing their customers to interact with Xbox customers anywhere but twitter and youtube.. They’d probably…

I can assure you with 100% certainty that when BG3 gets crossplay. It won’t be with PS5. Sony hates it when you can play with your friends.

Desantis has the worst political instincts I have ever seen. How he got to be governor of a state really shines a light on the quality of the average voter in Florida.

When the only real principle your opposition stands on is “My perceived enemies don’t like that, so I love it” it’s super easy to get under their skin. You just copy them. Dark Brandon is just a reversal of what Trump was for liberals. It’s entire point is to make fun of the people that buy Trump NFTs or where shirts…

It’s the Trump effect. Except no one else can do it like he can.

Weed conservative? I thought Libertarians were the party that didn’t like age of consent laws?

I don’t think you can underestimate just how much the GOP doesn’t want Trump. I could see the opposite being true. If Vivek or Tim Scott start polling above 20%, you will likely start seeing more republicans breaking away from Trump.

You are correct, except we aren’t the audience he is courting. Trump’s base is that audience, and talking like you are speaking to children is the only way to get their attention.

Vivek is going to be like Ron. The more he is seen, the less people will like him. Dude is fucking weird. He even does that weird thing boomers do where they talk to their camera in the car as if they are lecturing people or their opinion means anything.
