God, I hated this reboot. HATED it. Like, “Feel the same way about it that Star Wars fans feel about The Rise of Skywalker” hated it.

“More riders obviously means more bike repairs, but the problem is budget bikes are breaking too often too soon and aren’t actually repairable.”

I feel like this entire IP is so heavily mismanaged because it’s literally about an existential tournament filled with diverse character types, yet the tournament is practically ignored in the movies outside of a few established fights (the most recent movie didn’t even reach the tournament). It really does need a…

This is one IP that would benefit being turned into a weekly limited series, instead of a movie.

It more just needs to be spread around. It doesn’t necessarily need to be in the US, but having most of it in China and Taiwan is not great.

While it is painful short term, I think this will be a VERY good thing long term. We need to bring some tech manufacturing back into the US and this is precisely the sort of incentive we need to do it.

I think I’ve posted this before, but is there any tangible evidence that chip capacity will be largely improved in the next 18 months? Like some kind of factory expansion already on the way, major businesses agreeing to the same chip standards so it’s more uniform, any reason for demand to decline, anything? I thought…

“white landowner in Idaho” got us most of the way there already.

I know not to judge a book by it’s cover, but as soon as I saw their picture I knew they were villains 

People are always ready to defend “private property rights” until the person next to them wants to do something on their “private property” that they don’t like.

Absolutely LOVED the Wavebird back in the day - my dad always kept the house pretty cold (dads, amirite) and so most gaming was done sitting on the couch under blankets. For the N64 and the first year or two of the Gamecube, we had multiple controller extension cords so that my dad, my sister, and I could all play…

I saw the plaintiffs’ surname and thought “oh shit, these assholes again?!” but then realized I was thinking of the Sacklers, the pharma monsters.

Really?  Aside from the admittedly tiny D-pad, I thought the size was perfect.  And I have quite large hands.

Right place, right time. The ability to play wirelessly was a gamechanger in a world where your seating arrangements had been defined by how long your controller cable was for several decades.

$1200 a month is $18,000 a year. That’s less than $6k above the federal poverty line for a single person. No one should be permitted to sell someone with that income a six-year car loan for $445 a month. Shit, that’s about what someone of that income level should be paying for housing, not a car.

Watch it censor things like “Biden won the 2020 election”

You think corporations are exempt from abuse/misappropriation of funds? Good lord, the amount of wasteful spending by corporations boggles the mind.

It’s not even state government, it looks as though the county is responsible for the toll lanes and contracts them out (at great expense) to a private operator after having bought them out of full privatization which there wouldn’t have been demand for unless they were screwing up.

I just don’t see a path where our governmental system can be competent and trustworthy enough to make it work.
