She also lamented to her husband “But when you are free of this nonsense …”
So … checks notes about how the Supreme Court works … that means she’s eager for him to either die or resign, correct? Hey lady, at least we share some common goals.
🎵Natalie Holloway. That angel!
Where would horses go?
I haven’t played SC, and i haven’t played Eve in a while, but here is some readily available information:
Derecho? You mean the towel boy?
He fortunately avoided the train, but unfortunately still owns a Tesla.
In an odd coincidence, the first crew of the Boeing space probe will consist of 10 whistleblowers.
Well, the ultrasound showed that the baby was leaning Republican, so …
I can’t even begin to imagine the life experience and mental gymnastics it would take to still be undecided at this point.
His base supporters, I get. They want a dictator. They don’t care how we get there. No amount of criminal convictions are going to change their mind.
But for the rest of the people, how is it even possible to still be undecided. The wannabe dictator has made it crystal clear his intentions to become a dictator.
Time to cue the Fleetwood Mac
In an odd coincidence, the real killer reportedly died at the exact same time.
I have 200 hours in Civ 6, and have yet to win a game on anything except points. The latter eras are such a slog.
So let me get this straight. You’re not having any luck competing with regular schlubs in the real world, so you want to fake your way into a situation where you compete with a group of fitter and more attractive people?
It’s mind-blowing how bad they fucked up Overwatch. All they had to do was keep the OW1 servers and progression for PvP, and sell PvE expansion packs. Expand the lore through PvE expansion packs and offer exclusive cosmetics that people can show off in PvP, but don’t stop releasing cosmetics that can be obtained through PvP gameplay.
Add on a battle pass for more exclusive cosmetics (NOT FUCKING HEROES), and bam you’ve got a stew going.
That would bring in more than enough revenue to keep the servers running and making a tidy profit for years, like TF2.
Is it predatory, though? Or are people just upset because they fell for pre-order hype, despite it being 2024 and they should know better.
Let’s not muddy the waters by comparing it to gambling. Pay-to-win (or pay-for-convenience, which, in my opinion, is the same as pay-to-win) is not gambling. It’s just shit. You’re not paying for a randomized chance at a reward. You know exactly what you’re getting.
I don’t have first-hand knowledge of the game, but from what I have seen, there are no predatory IU elements to lure vulnerable kids into stealing their mom’s credit card.
Don’t get me wrong. I think the MTX is shit. I was mildly interested in the game, but now I won’t consider it even on 75% Steam sale. Capcom won’t be getting my money, that’s my choice.
We don’t need the government involved in regulating shitty entertainment. It’s not water or electricity or healthcare. You can just not buy the thing. If you start calling for regulation of everything you don’t like, that’s how you get geriatric politicians who never played a game in their life and still call it “the Nintendo” deciding what you can and can’t have in your game.
If enough people are buying it, they’ll keep doing it whether you like it or not. So why waste your energy getting mad about it?
You already lost the fight when you start talking about “bad behavior” and “blame.” Just accept the fact that you’re not the target audience for shitty modern AAA games, and move on.
It’s OK. I’m not the target audience either. I’m not the target audience for Taylor Swift concerts, either. Does that make it “bad behavior” if I don’t like her ticket prices?
Stop getting mad about companies making money. That’s literally their purpose. There are plenty of other products out there to buy.
Stop buying this shit, and they’ll stop doing it.
That’s nice but do they hold the world record on Bowser’s Big Bean Burrito?
“You might enjoy F1 racing, but I value fuel-efficient commuters more.”
We can like both things.
