I don’t understand all the kids not interested in driving at all. I’m not talking NYC or some place like that, I mean places where driving is the only way around. Yeah, they are mostly females, but still. When I was that age, driving was freedom. We couldn’t wait to drive for anything from not having to ride the school bus to being able to go places freely. I suspect it’s partly about getting everything they want already. Driving and a job opened up the infinite amount of things my parents would have said no on to being in the realm of possibility.
And as I think I first saw on Top Gear, if you’re not interested in driving, of course you’re not any good at it. Probably on the hilarious Peugeot episode.
Last time I gave Ubisoft money, I went back and looked: November 21, 2019. $24.99 for Assassin's Creed Odyssey gold edition. I've actually just gotten around to playing it lately. It's as boring as Origins, but when I'm sick as I was last weekend, low skill and low brain games like that have a place.
I had briefly considered buying The Crew Motorfest, the trial wasn't that good. Otherwise, I don't even know what I'd buy from them. They ruined their games before they even got to full-on diversity. There is no shortage of roaming around open world games, why do I need to buy theirs?
"Oh well like you know the evil landlord raised my rent and Trump made everything so expensive that I can just barely scrape by to live in the city. I could never live out in the country where those just awful racists are and you can't get doordash or Starbucks. Oh I would just die! So like I would take one of those poor migrant families in, but well my extra bedroom is where I work on my poetry and I really make the world better with that."
I've thought before how I don't even know what I'd be without all the positive male role models I had. I was a weird quiet kid with my head in a book, computers, or building things. Men from my dad to grandfathers, my dad's employers, friends of my grandfathers, hell even weird ones like my brother's soccer coach-- they all just treated me like a person, essentially like a "future man." I could do on and on and on about positive things men did from a young age Women, well I can barely think of any that stuck in my head as positive. Especially away from very immediate family. They just all want to find out what's wrong with you or treat you like a baby.
I hate just how much of this is free to play and/or live service games. I'm not even sure I like Cyberpunk, but if it were consistently over all the garbage Roblox, League of Narcissistic Legends, Valorant, Fortnite, and Apex Legends I'd consider that a win.
I wonder how GTA5 rolls into 6. There's also a huge modding and private server community for GTA, as in hundreds of thousands of players. You know they will be working to stop that in GTA6.
Yeah, there's still a lot of checks going on with flying, there's multiple people looking to avoid incidents. It's beaten into you for flight instruction to check everything. If I hadn't looked down the runway before crossing to make sure it was clear, I'd have heard about it.
I'd rather work on the roads, throw some of these idiots off the road. That would work hundred-fold for adding days to my life over anything with flying.
Need women out of the tower even more than off the flight deck. ATC is a more demanding job than pilot, especially an airline crew of two where they can split duties. Listen to them screech and panic.
I'm a licensed pilot, albeit with much less experience than any airline pilot. The only time an ATC ever gave me the impression they were overwhelmed, it was a woman. It's not a job they are fit for. There's rude ATC, there's amazingly good ATC, but a pilot feeling like ATC is overwhelmed is rare. I was really only skirting their control area and it was a clusterfuck, so I just changed course a bit and left their area. On the other hand, I've had competent controllers on a busy channel be so situationally aware that they advise me of traffic in my area, despite me putzing around VFR in a small plane not near the busy airport and that not being a requirement or priority for them to do so.
I actually almost wrote something about an alpha would protect his own pack and not be concerned with another pack. It was late and I'd had a rough day and couldn't come up with the right words, so I didn't.
Exactly. I've played board and card games with my nephews. If you let them, they'd stay on phones and tablets and the like 24/7. They aren't given that option.
Customizable community servers are where it's at. It won't happen for a while though, because they can't sell you microtransactions when you can just mod them in for free. There's no money in a game having staying power through mods and independent servers.
No cap ur just mid asf at Scrabble.
Because anyone that actually uses tools knows all those pink tools suck. Seriously, they are shit. Yeah, that can even matter with a tape measure. Tape measures have different features.
The same people that go full autist at their video games and kick my face in while flaunting all the stupid microtransaction bullshit on me can't handle a game in my arena, eh? It's really simple, you just have to learn some words.
Strong woman don't need no man, right? Women brought this on themselves.
That's an alpha male move anyway. A real alpha man doesn't fear internet outrage and instead does what they want.
I wouldn't have bought at launch anyway. Especially turn based JRPGs, because I'm forever behind on what of those I want to play anyway.
Added childishness is probably not a deal-breaker, but I hate how these clowns always do that to games.
I was going to buy this game too. I still might once the details are picked in to more, but it seems like at best it was made infantile.
If I woke up tomorrow morning and my job and everything I owned except the clothes on my back were gone, I still wouldn't sleep on the street that night. I'd walk to a friends house where at the very least I'd be offered a couch to sleep, because they know I'd be doing everything I can to be gone as quickly as possible, that I wouldn't bring drugs into their house, that I wouldn't harm their children, and that I wouldn't escape one night with all of their things.
So I question the character of any allegedly good person living on the streets as to why they've made so little of a good impact to the people around them that they'd be allowed to live on the streets.
This narrative is pushed all over the communist sphere in places like Reddit. you always see things like “almost all of the homeless are just people who lost their job, their car broke down, they are just like you and you could be next.” Uh, just no. There is a mountain of difference between most of the homeless I see who being locked in asylum is the compassionate thing to do, and me and normal people.
Watch it be won by a 300lb man in a dress.
"Your annoying barking is so gay!" Everything was gay back then in words. Now everything is gay but you can't say it.
My oldest nephew the school was trying to send to the drug doctor in first grade because he wouldn't sit still or some nonsense. Yeah he can be a bit careless and hyper, but if you give him something he's interested in his attention span seems infinite. The youngest one starts I think in another year, it will be interesting, because he's going to be bored. He's already reading and spelling at age 4, so "hey kids, here's the letter A" is going to last about 5 seconds with him. I wish I could talk my brother into homeschooling or something else.
I only did well in elementary school because generally I could just quietly be left to my own devices. It gave me patience, I'll give it that. I can sit for hours on end and stare at a wall really well.
Gender segregated classes at the lower levels would go a long way. You know though if the boys ever pulled ahead of the girls at something, the feminists would flip out. Or there would be kids trying to tranny their way into the other one, etc.
I don't know the character (I'm guessing from Pokemon), but they can't even make the fat ugly one have the same feeling. One looks like a happy little girl, the other is like an angsty tranny. Can't even smile, really?
Makes sense and why I've really always hated representation. They always pick out the one person "we need to see ourselves in a story." If I play a game that I create someone to mirror myself, I still want to be a badass. My real world self can't fight off hordes of monsters with an axe, call fire down from the sky, win an F1 race or a World Series, etc. Who wants realistic real life simulation anyway?
That I do. I have a pretty good group of friends and family, some practicing Christians more than others but all with at least that similar moral compass.
It's been interesting though to just read through unhindered without someone trying to interpret things for me. Especially since a lot of it is really not all that complicated.
Wow, I forgot that was even happening this year. I used to like the Olympics too. How can I anymore? It just politics and current year stuff.
