They already did that in Deluxe, your item pool is based on your distance ahead of other racers instead of just only being in first. Same with being in last, its about how far back you are distance wise.

Not every track lends itself well to the tactic, there are frontrunning tracks and these tend to be the ones with fewer dramatic shortcuts. Bagging is a tactic that can be exploited to impressive results by the very experienced drivers. I’m ok, but the times I have found myself in last because of falling off the track…

The better items are meant to help you catch up. But as it was, you could literally be in last place by a matter of milliseconds and then use a Star, Lightning Bolt, Bullet Bill, etc to surge to a massive lead from the back of the (very tight) pack. That’s what bagging is, deliberately being in last place by the…

question from someone who has played the game, but NEVER in like a competitive online capacity:

Good on Nintendo. The higher you go in the online points system, the more baggers you meet, and the death of this exploit will make the game a lot more fun. 

I mean, if you really wanted to justify Shepherd existing in some sense six centuries later, there’s the fact that Shepherd already died once and she was retrofitted with considerable cybernetics to bring her back. Plus, in 2/3 of the viable endings she merges, in a sense, with the God-Computer.

If you worked as a tradesman for example (e.g. electrician or plumber) and your employer brought you on board because Wal-Mart made a contract with your employer.

Stop licking the boots of corporations that would eagerly smother you for twenty cents. 

They’re protesting the cunts who fucked them over.

So the Share button has effectively become the YouTube button now?

I guess you could use it to post to Facebook, if you’re like, old as bones or something.

This is a much smaller “season”, and I’m fairly certain the first page of the Bonus Pass is shown to have 200 vBucks.  It doesn’t have the extra vBucks that normally are there, but this one looks like it does at least pay back more than the Battlepass cost by 50.

Only one code is issued per year per employee, I believe. So if they were selling it, they are only allowed to once a year.

You reminded me of their whole $10 million gift card black market incident.

When I worked there, we had amazing health care (for a year, then they changed it), and we got excellent deals on all MS software, and XBox employees got all MS published games for free, digital or physical. Even got a free Kinect (which was cool coz it was hard to get when it launched).
Then it was just digital…

The silliness of this makes me think there was something more significant / interesting in the background, like someone was caught reselling / sharing the free Gamepass account.

This article is very unclear on what was actually offensive about his comments. I don’t doubt that he said some offensive ridiculous things, but this article has no actual examples and just calls XQC a scumfuck with no actual explanation.

Strictly looking at it from the consumer side, it is better and quite frankly, the way things have been going, from an employment side too if you are comparing one with the other. 

“Last month, Cohen promised every player on the Texas Rangers a $10,000 GameStop gift card if they won the World Series”

Oof. Am I glad to have stopped working for Gamestop ages ago. I also no longer shop there. I feel bad for the employees. They’re the ones doing all the work and dealing with all the bull. As a company, Gamestop needs to die. They've been steadily enshittifying every aspect of their business for years now. I'll miss…

Huh. You would think you’d only have to become the ruler of the universe once >.>
