I was prepared to yells at Ley for not taking off his jacket because it seemed like it would impede form. But I guess it worked for him. So that’s a good lesson I guess.

The whole Kellogg circumcision thing is so weird it’s almost impossible to believe. But I’ve read it so many places as the origin of it as common practice on America.

Yeah, maybe in a year when they’ve added stuff and it’s on sale, I’ll pick it up. But I think you’re right, a $40 price point would’ve made a lot of people pull the trigger. It’d be great if games had more flexible pricing. Like how Recore came out at $40.

Agreed. But I can’t really read Heinlein anymore because his multi page political rants get old. Really fast. 

I was pretty interested in it and played the last beta. I’d say this review is dead on. The islands are kinda boring, the enemies aren’t engaging, and the quests get repetitive fast.

On the dads are weird tangent:

I got scholarships for college because I knew my limits (I was a lazy student. Smart, but very lazy) and went to the “second tier” state school. So I graduated college, saved a bunch over the past few years, and this April I’ll hit my one year anniversary of home ownership.

That whole vertical explosion was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. Verticals for everything!

Hmm. You can dress an adorable lil mouse up and go on fantasy adventures? Seems like a game worth playing.

I always liked when Gawker had Adam Weinstein working the military angle. Really good, thoughtful writing by someone with experience and willing to do the research.

That’s fucked up. Like, if you aren’t using your .5% increase on a pitchfork, I dunno man. Probably can’t now. Pitchforks will be priced out of the discerning mobs’ purchase power. Then what? Whole mob goes in on one pitchfork to share? Use rakes?

I took that long to be about government funding is what developed the internet. So taxpayer dollars paid for it so taxpayers should control it, via a publicly elected board maybe.

You do realize that we’ve done this before right?

American history only goes back 10 years from whatever year it currently is. So Blacks had Civil Rights ten years ago, why are they complaining now? Women had sexual harassment laws ten years ago, so why are they getting all mad now?

Littering and... Littering and... Littering and...

As I’ve gotten older, I 100% support calling. Sometimes it’s just quicker.

I don’t play online as much as I used to, but outside of GTA online (which, obviously has its own issues), Xbox Live has gotten a lot quieter in the 10 years I’ve had it. I dunno if the toxic culture from Halo 2/3 has subsided, if less people even bother with mics, or if everyone’s just in parties, but I rarely hear…

You’d think developers and publishers would be pushing for cross play a lot harder with these games. Having one big pool of players would add to the game’s life which means more money from dlc, lootboxes, cosmetics, etc.

I work for a state institution, so my pay and everyone else’s here is public knowledge. We’re hitting a budget crunch (thanks moronic GOP policies!) and people are worried about lay-offs. My salary is peanuts, but if you consolidated some management roles, you could eliminate 3-4 executive positions with some middle…

If there’s something to get pissy about it’s capitalism taking something and turning it into another bullshit day to have sales and sell cheap junk. (See every holiday ever now.) But no, no! We can’t get mad at that, let’s just hate on some trans people trying to raise their kids.
