Tend to agree about DLC - Some times the Devs have too many ideas - DLC is way to manage costs. But only if it expands the game

This is because we feel we paid for something that expects nothing in return.

When you pay for a game that includes add ons and microtransactions, all of a sudden we‘re back to being a marketing target, and we implicitly know we‘re pushed to spend money.

We play games to escape the real world…

Love this. For years, tax exempt Churches have been praising Donald Trump and his Christofascist cronies. Despite this being forbidden, no one does jack-shit.

And then a few ultra-rich musicians share that they are not 100% on board with Trump’s 2020’s remake of the movie Idiocracy and he’s calling for a “major investigation”?

I definitely tried this with my (soon to be) ex-wife and my kids over a long period of time. We had “step mom appreciation night” every once in a while, and other special things.

Turns out it only helps if you’re actually telling the truth.

Sounds like you’re a great parent anyway, so props and good wishes to both of you.

History will not be kind to either Netanyahu, or the Biden/Trump presidencies.

This will mean fuck all the to Palestinians who became “displaced persons” just so the Israeli’s can have their own Lebensraum.

The rest of the world needs to get off its ass and ensure Gaza is rebuilt on Israel’s shekel for the Palestinians like a modern day Marshall plan. And ideally prosecute a couple of people for actively advancing genocide.

They don’t understand irony. Or civility. Or empathy.

But we can definitely all agree they are weird.

I think the one in the hat is The Edge (the guitarist in U2), so I assume the other one is Bono?

40 months is slightly less the six years in the same way my pay check is slightly less than my CEOs

The problem you are describing is not malware or viruses. They’re just the tools.

The problem is capitalism, which turns everything free into something on which a profit can be made
