True, with all the press time we give to them it would be a massive hit.

True - but there are a lot of people here (and in the US in general) that think these things are invincible. In reality they weren’t from the moment that the Kirov-class with Granit missiles entered service, but the situation now is far worse.

Humanitarian missions don’t need this level of power, they don’t need the capability of round-the-clock airstrikes. An America-class carrier can mostly do just as well in those missions as it’s built now, and a pure carrier variant of them with F-35s can easily fill just about any role the CVNs do now at half the cost…

Not entirely a red herring. The missile saturation attack isn’t something reserved for China and Russia. India has them, Pakistan has them, and many more countries are working on them. They are fairly cheap and easy to produce, and China and Russia are more than happy to sell the last gen ones to whatever country can…

Getting games to run well at 4k isn’t that hard, if you are willing to sacrifice some of the eye candy.

Yeah, not the co-op market, but shooters in general; there’s been a fall off in popularity of them over the last few years mostly due to the lack of any real creativity from most of the publishers. (Moving the timeline of your cookie-cutter multiplayer military shooter games is not enough to get big sales, Activision!)

Heh, I thought I would feel the same way going in, but then the reveal that Triss was playing with Geralt the whole time his memory was gone changed my mind, just like it did Geralts’ in the game (which is why they weren’t together anymore). Once I met Yennifer I felt like the two just clicked better, as well. I can…

Yep, it’s looking to be pretty mediocre overall. The market is also kinda saturated, and Ubi knows it. That’s why they are giving the game away with new video cards and launching during March Madness, games like this are better as tech demos and benchmarks than games to be played and loved.

Not necessarily. TT has been doing DLC to add more movies to their Avengers game, so they might with the new Star Wars as well. Now that retail presence is less of an issue, marketing an entire new game every time is an expense that isn’t necessarily worthwhile.

Bah, the CORRECT ending is witcheress Ciri and you going off to retirement with Yennifer after you break the spell tying them together! :P

If there’s one near you, it’s usually worth at least thinking about it just for the gas alone if you always fill up there. The $55 per year membership fee gets eaten up pretty easily over the course of the year when the gas is consistently $0.15-0.25 per gallon cheaper than most other places. Then you can go ahead and…

But in the end, how many jobs would it really cost? After all, the vast majority of the defense budget goes to building new tech, right?

The shuttle was, at its core, a platform to get secret military hardware into space and back. They sold it as a revolutionary tech for science, but in reality it was built because of the cold war, just like everything else in the 70's and 80's. They even had a second launch facility ready at Vandenberg so that they…

Under most situations I would call a comment like “once a cheater always a cheater” an over-reaction, and that maybe a person can learn and change - maybe not enough to save this relationship, but in the future.

That’s my thought here too. That one statement tells a whole different story from all the other things she said, and that story is not very good if you think about it.

Yep, that’s DVT, which is the leading cause of embolisms (pulmonary most common, but strokes can happen if they hit the brain instead).

Betting on a Pulmonary Embolism.

Probably a sign that the Galaxy S8 isn’t going to be compatible. That would be a bummer.

Or you can go with option 1 and not play any multiplayer. You’d be surprised how much money you will save on games if you don’t buy any multiplayer focused games. And how much less anger and hate you let come into your life as well. Believe me, there’s plenty out there without voluntarily inflicting it upon yourself.

There was an official auction, but it was very limited, mostly backup hero costumes and deco items for them. I actually bid on the browncoat that Mal wore in the original pilot - the one with the bullet hole in the arm. Didn’t get it, of course.
