The irony of it happening to Metallica is hilarious. 

I don’t trust people in general, ESPECIALLY having now worked at a store during this pandemic and seen just the absolute worst, selfish, entitled behavior. After getting rid of the mask mandate here and just having an honors system that you’ve been vaccinated to not wear one, basically everyone stopped. And where I…

I’m completely positive that in a lot of those cases, it was 100% on purpose because they didn’t want to wear them.  I worked at a store through this whole thing and it really made me loose what little respect I had left for people.  We also had people come in with “masks” made out of tulle or some other screen like…

I think a lot of people are concerned what will happen if they say no.  Like, yes, it is 100% your right to say no, but given how we’ve seen police act, people don’t wanna die being right.

I had a bunch of PS1 games that went from being worth like 100+ to worthless practically overnight.

I just checked ebay and loose ones are going for like 100 dollars.  I feel like a complete chump for selling mine for 30 bucks a couple years ago....and here I thought I was getting a good deal....

I bought that game for 12 dollars in 2014...still had my receipt in the case.  Considering selling it now.

Google has become something of a Sega...releasing new products and then quickly abandoning them, thereby causing people to not want to buy new products and making them fail faster. It’s something of a feedback loop now.   Google at least has highly profitable other things to fall back on.

And Nest imo is the way weaker of the names.  “Google home” much more told people what it was then Nest, which I still mostly associate with thermostats.  Changing the name was just confusing with no real benefit.

I’m fairly sad that we will never get the mall of the original concept art....it looked incredibly cool and futuristic.  All of the footage I’ve seen of the end product looks...sad and barren.

That was a genuinely good scene in an otherwise campy movie.

I completely forgot the Assassins’ Creed movie even existed, that’s how little impact it left on me.

I feel like if the SMB movie had just....not connected to SMB it might be semi fondly remembered as another weird early 90s fantasy movie, one of those cult classic type things.

It took not only it being on camera but the world wide outrage and protests and general atmosphere of people saying they were not willing to just stand idly by anymore.

I think that Stormblood is just ok. They really dropped the ball hyping up Ala Mhigo and then just....not spending the majority of the expansion focused on it. Splitting the narrative was just not a good idea, as it meant I only cared about either one half as much. There’s stand out moments, but over all it’s....fine?…

Not to mention all the people who live in places that don’t have driveways/garages.  Where I live it’s 100% street parking, and that’s not uncommon in a lot of cities.  I don’t see the city installing chargers for each of us along the road.  Apartment buildings too, would need to install a heck of a lot of chargers.

What gets me about it is how QUICK it all went down...like less then 5 seconds from show me your hands, drop it, and being shot. Not really even enough time to process the words. And he was shot with his hands up in the midst of complying and people are STILL saying it was justified. One of the justifications I saw…

I think the nature of streaming/youtube/vlogging makes it seem more personal.  It’s not just some actor in a movie, it feels like they’re talking directly to you.  I think it’s your own brain tricking you.  I’ve found myself feeling a kinship with them, and have to remind my brain that they don’t know me, I don’t know…

For me, it’s basically the Final Fantasy game I’d been wanting Square to make for years....and it just happens to be online.  Unlike most MMOs I’ve played, the story really is what is front, center, and the main motivator for playing.

I’m predicting an uptick in fake vaccination cards online, since very few states have something like a scannable QR code for them.
