The point is they’re going to transfer wealth from Blue states to Red states. It doesn’t matter if Red states have budget problems or not. This is just a pretext to rob and plunder political opponents.

if Nintendo or Sony were doing the same levels of layoffs

But they’re not. Well, Sony did layoff 900 people last year and took deserved flak for it. But you’re right, it’s not even close to the level of Microsoft the last 2 years.

As for Nintendo,

“If we reduce the number of employees for better short-term financial results, employee morale will decrease. I sincerely doubt employees who fear that they may be laid off will be able to develop software titles that could impress people around the world.”

Call it bad faith, but I literally don’t believe them. They can say it but that doesn’t make it true. Why would anyone trust these companies? Their goal is to get you physically addicted to gambling. It is every company’s wet dream to get kids addicted to their product and leeh off their income for the rest of their lives.

I bet we’ll see all of those things - the ads, the sponsors, the jerseys, all of it - within a year of this program going live.

Meltdown is MSM’s new Slam. Everyone is slamming someone else. MAGA is melting down about everything. When are they not melting down?

Can someone enlighten me on how such communities plan to deal with the 2038 problem? Is it even relevant to them?

I know nothing about trusts either, but I can’t help but laugh at the idea of some massively in-debt and in-denial idiot purchasing bank services they can’t afford and won’t benefit them in anyway. Just throwing more money down the drain, to the exact people they hate so much.

I wanna assume good faith here so maybe a “volunteer today!” would work… or maybe that’s just as menacing…

Yeah once you explore the whole map, it becomes a typical looter shooter where you’re just grinding for 6 crown weapons. I will say though, having only played for a couple years, the dev team did a remarkable job adding new content over time, and not all of it locked behind DLC. Picking this game up on sale for $5 felt like I won the lottery. It might be “just ok” but I did have dozens of hours of fun in the game with my brother and friends.

Boy you weren’t kidding jfc

GOG’s move into mod support seems pretty prescient now.

Generation Zero. Primo aesthetic, sometimes well balanced, good with friends but not so much solo.

I’m on the 9th rewatch of Bocchi the Rock and the 4th rewatch of Yuru Camp.

Why would I bother?

It’s not for the sake of right wing media, it’s for the sake of the normal people who call Los Angeles home.

man you took this article really personally…

I get your point, but calling it a war zone is exactly what right wing media wants everyone to hear. It’s a protest, we’ve had one every single weekend since 1/20, in nearly every state, and nobody needed to call the NG.

Let it not go unsaid: fuck waymo, I’m happy to see those death traps burn.

My brain is cooked… I didn’t understand you meant “they” to be part of the meme. XD

I want GOG to getback to what it was before CDPR.

CD Projekt saw potential to look back at their distribution days to offer DRM-free versions of classic games through digital distribution, … They founded a new subsidiary, Good Old Games, to serve this purpose in early 2008.
