Oh look just somebody on the Internet stripping all the context and nuance out of an event so they can blame the victim for reacting. 

So what are the odds that whatever is needed to solve this is in the DLC and it's just not in the game yet?

Get the fuck out of here.

Mall I ran a GameStop store at aaaaaages ago had a ‘lost child policy.’ If a kid was found wandering a store, alone, without supervision, for more than 15 minutes, mall security was to be called and the child effectively is picked up and diverted to lost and found. This mall had a few issues before I got there with

Okay, but the difference is nobody at those stores was expected to be keeping an eye on you and the place your parents actually left you at was an arcade, a place that’s explicitly designed for people to hang out at for more than the duration of a shopping trip.

Macroeconomics is the one science that you should ALWAYS be very cautious applying past scenarios to present conditions. The variables are almost never the same, even though the anecdotal symptoms may look the same.

Generally low unemployment, like you just referenced, leads to high inflation. We’re at 40-year highs for inflation, if we’re going to bring that down unemployment will go up (more people unemployed).

Ha yeah Wildlands was great. But honestly you just have to look at whose writing the article and know that it is gonna be a "hot take" no matter what the article is about. I am at the point where I first check who is writing the article on this site now so I know what I am getting into lol.

Wildlands is the fun open world ghost recon, with hilarious mercenary banter, incredible variable, detailed and pretty world, and cool combat. Maybe you are thinking Breakpoint, that seems made by a committee to be has standard and boring has possible and seems created by a algorithm and not humans.

It is always amusing when someone is completely unable to look outside their own experiences in an attempt to be critical.

Even if COVID-19 never existed, if I “woke up vomiting blood” I wouldn’t be doing anything that day other than going to the ER.

Not only that, but your full-time job when you’re unemployed is getting another job. It's not a vacation. 

Be careful what you wish for. I’ve been in that position and it felt like anything but a sabbatical.

My condolences to her friends and family. But something about the news itself smells fishy. Young people without any pre-existing conditions, especially who have been vaccinated, simply are not dying of Covid right now.

Yeah the timeline is a bit funky. It’s just as likely she contracted COVID before or while traveling to PAX.

Oh cool so I can pay a hefty subscription fee for temporary access to games I’ve already owned for years.

So they are going to compete wih gamepass by being worse and more expensive?

I’ll admit that my (relatively mild) annoyance might be coloring my perspective - it’s not like I’ve taken a stopwatch to it - but in Destiny 2’s case, I think getting back into the game from an error message actually takes a little longer than getting back from a ‘cold start’, given how fast the splash screens load

This is a lovely little addition. What I’m most looking for, though, is a way to let you ‘opt-out’ certain games from the feature; I’ve never understood why titles like Destiny or Warframe - titles with ‘always on’ online requirements that boot you to the title screen if you’re not constantly pinging their servers -
