The person creating the effect claims the witnesses of the effect are ignorant of the cause.

Yup that’s modern society summarized

1. be the change you want to see, how much did you spend on portable games back in the day, why aren’t you spending the same amount on devs that make ad free no micro transactions games? Don’t shy away from that game because it’s 10 bucks, that’s a quarter the price you used to pay for gbc games.

2. get yourself a Bluetooth controller, or physical controller adapter for your phone, they have buttons you can stick on your phone, and then you’ll appreciate how nice the screen interfaces are these days.

Get a sleep study done, pushing 40 and not at all normal, once in a while I’ll wake up slowly, or wake up before my body does, and it’s uncomfortable, happened maybe once or twice and if it ever happened multiple days in a row I’d be bringing it up with my primary.

Yup, I don’t have time to mess around with blockers, and I enjoy supporting the platform that hosts the people I listen to… Not sure why anyone wants to make life harder

The apex is Activision.

No more battle.net, now we get Facebook account integration!

No more private chats, now we get real money auction house!

Goodbye placeable stat points, now we get cookie cutter builds that must all be viable!

Goodbye soloable content, now all the bosses get enrage timers!

I thought it was very symbolic that after the demo of D3, (imo the last thing blizzard created, act 1 of D3, the only slightly decent part of the game) the first thing that happens is they kill deckard cain.

Blizzard is just a skin puppet, same as every other great developer that the Activision cancer has consumed.

Maybe because they’re shipping more steam machines than ever before?

I’d guess majesty but I’d be incorrect, too much control over units…

Yankee Doodle

Are we going to disparage the companies that did do something for pride month this year because they’re only doing it for the month, ya know pride month, even in this climate? I think let’s not trash them?

This kills the fish,

But that goldfish wasn’t long for the world anyways.

But extra not with the introduction of fecal material from those hogs

Bionic dues

Firefly,

For less cinematic my favorite fun ones are

The good place, and Better off ted

Who’s more dangerous around the sofa, president or vice president,

And more importantly where the fuck are the Epstein files you fuckers said kamala wouldn’t release?

Doesn’t need to track you all the time to know exactly who you are and what you’re up to.

Continuously monitoring is such a waste of their resources, they already know everything about you, they just need to check in now and then to make sure you’re buying the correct t-shirts.

I just gave the neighborhood kid my xbox-s (with expanded memory), my switch hasn’t been touched since my deck arrived. I have everything I need already purchased on steam, I’m not building a second library, or paying 50% more than when I started for a rotating library, I’ll buy a few more games on steam but my catalog is insurmountably full as it is. And now I’ll get to enjoy it with slightly higher graphics on a much larger screen!

I have the skill, I built all of my families PC’s through the early 2010’s, I’m done with that lifestyle. I don’t want to diagnose and send evidence of wether it’s the ram or the motherboard that needs to be replaced, argue with foreign customer service for weeks, and then wait months for a replacement piece (that now I know has a higher chance of failure) to be delivered.

I’ll trade a slightly higher investment for peace of mind, as long as it’s a good business (sorry apple)

Strange, it’s not at all a tough price point for me… Guess I’m not part of the crowd…

My deck has performed brilliantly since the day I bought it, I expect my steam machine to do the same, and if it doesn’t I know exactly who will fix it (I’ve never had to fix my deck)

And if something breaks you get a fast and easy response with the steam machine. Not at all fast nor easy if you’re buying from multiple vendors.

The 300 bucks of better parts I could be getting is entirely worth my never having to diagnose or repair parts myself.

Once you (puck/ball first) cross the line (midfield in soccer, blue line in hockey) you’re free to pass it to your teammate, plenty easy to take advantage of them being off guard without being offsides

They came up with it because cherry picking is outrageously boring.
