You're totally not wrong. I find myself more and more amazed at just how many people throw money at things mindlessly. I feel like the only reason I could totally buy this if I wanted is I am prudent, yet the list of people that will buy then then bend over and wait to be fucked by the PS5 Pro Slim model the next year is immense.

I never thought I would, but I'm glad I left the console space. My PC was barely more expensive than an original PS5 and outside of the large SSD I added later (also applicable cost to PS5) it's been fine and will be for a bit longer.

Fun fact, I was once banned from a Reddit sub for responding to one of those incessant "omg I found this poor kitty" posts with the Google Maps link of a Chinese restaurant and a suggestion that they could drop it off there no questions asked.

They also say they are a real woman, so why can’t they just pick woman? Why do they have to be an ugly turd of a woman. If I’m creating myself as a man in a game, do I not make myself a little taller and more muscular? Do these “real women” not desire to be attractive? Create that character

I think the answer is it’s all just to piss us off, that’s their objective.

#2 reason I quit using Amazon. It just plain sucks now. No, I don't want "LONGDONG real PC game mouse" that is $1 on AliExpress, I want the typical branded crap.

#1 is they hit me with fraudulent transactions on an account with all the security features on, having never triggered any of them, and their customer service for fraud is as shit as the contents of Biden's diaper. I have to get all the way to #3 to consider politics.

I've gotten where I target quality and repairability where I can and I just buy from the manufacturer's website when I need random boxed crap. It's a tiny bit more, but for example I just bought a Moccamaster single cup coffee machine, holy shit that thing is in a different world than the Chinese plastic k-cup things that will break in two years. I also buy less random boxed crap, didn't need it anyway,

Yeah trying to find things to do like that is tough. Kids less interested in old cars and want flashy, and it's not easy to just get a look at without getting way too close to thuggish and childish behavior. We've talked about going to Monterey in a year or two, but that's still a stretch.

Automotive Theme Park with giant drag strip

Would love to see something like this take off. My cousin is very into cars and being in the Youtube kid age group, there's so much promotion of idiots street racing. I've been trying to influence him a bit so he doesn't end up going from Ambulance to Hospital to Police Car to Jail.

Imagine waltzing with your partner to an orchestral cover of a Taylor Swift song

I'd rather not lose any brain cells, thanks. So since it's Netflix house, I just have to assume there will be an area for your child to practice being a stripper just like the ones in Cuties?

Funny how Japanese have a theme park where kids try to be adults, and we have Disney for forever baby adults.

A Fistful of Dollars, the Clint Eastwood classic, is getting a remake.

Only thing I have to say regarding whoever is going to remake this is, "Get three coffins ready." Totally unnecessary.

Yakuza Like a Dragon gets a TV show

That could be really cool, but I don't trust Amazon at all. Just wait, Kiryu will end up a black woman.

Disney May pay another $5 Billion for Hulu.

Hilarious, because I bet Comcast doesn't even want Hulu anymore.

Cyberpunk locked themselves in a Catch-22 with the PS4 and Xbox One. They promised more than really could be delivered on the performance of those platforms. So they are left with severe graphical downgrades or poor performance, both of which would get them panned. They really should have released it as a next gen and PC exclusive and put their effort as such, but with all those preorders, that also gets them.

I get your point about spending money on pricey voice actors, but unless they were going to otherwise spend that money on good writers, it was still going to suck. It's not that poorly put together on hardware that can handle it, it's just boring.

I don't see how there wouldn't have been. There was too much left unsettled from the first go-around. Germany was likely to do something with the state of their country whether Hitler or someone else. The US was already all over the Pacific. You had the British still in China. Stalin would have started pushing West.

There was far, far more going on than Hitler invaded Poland.

Yeah, outside of a few years here and there I'm not sure when it was ever a nice city. In the late 1800s it was a literal shit hole, as just dealing with the horse shit disposal alone was a huge problem. Prior to that you've got all the Irish and Italians causing problems with each other.

Cities just suck really. The only good cities I can really think of are very culturally and racially homogeneous, and have harsh and strict punishments for bullshittery. What would they do to a chimpout in Singapore?

How long until it's Barronness? I assume he will also get rid of the Trump name, I mean how many people still have the name Hitler?

I'm sure it's just someone grumpy about their valuable screen space or whatever BS angers people. I'd rather pick through some interesting links than a random autistic sperg, and the time lost to scroll past the things I'm less interested in is in mere seconds.

It's the same reason most people would recoil if you were to tell most people you are reading Mein Kampf. They are trained to fear seeking alternative points of view. I don't know anything about this guy, and I at least hope if Carlson has him on there's more substance behind it then just wild conspiracy.

There's only something to fear from listening to others if your stance isn't the right one. If you're standing on solid ground, why be afraid?

I didn't see that but I was just scrolling through, that's one I wanted to buy. I was going to get a hardcover sometime, but it wouldn't be bad to look through ahead of time.

Probably grab a couple of these Milo James Fowler, you mentioned, I've never read but I've been way more interested in mystery and whatever you'd call a Tom Clancy style book lately. Worth a shot for a buck. He's got links to sites that sell DRM free ePubs too.

So is it links to Amazon or am I missing a storefront? I've gotten a little more receptive to eBooks but don't like Kindle so was curious if I was missing something.

I'll throw a few on the list and try them out. Any suggestions? At the very least I should be able to assume that even though the cover looks gay the book won't be full of it.

I’ve been watching those three clown around with cars almost as long as I’ve been driving. I’m pretty sure there’s no other show I ever watched that long with that much impact on me. It can’t be replaced, and certainly not in current era, those guys didn’t bother with a political correctness often. For me, it will be greatly missed.

Stray is being released to the Switch with a graphical downgrade. My wife doesn't care.

Exactly, a lot of the Switch hate crowd just totally doesn't understand a huge amount of people aren't that bothered by a graphical downgrade. Also a reason why my PC that is not high end will likely not be upgraded for a while. I just turn the settings down. On the note of Stray, it's been on my watch list for ages, anyone have an idea if it's actually any good?

Tetris collection.

Screw these people as they most likely take my money for a game I've bought too many times.

Is the new Zelda projecting really woke? I liked the Link's Awakening remake, but the whole move of making Zelda the playable character in the modern day sets off so many red flags. I guess I'll have time to find out, I haven't even gotten Tears of the Kingdom yet or started Skyward Sword, so it will be a while.

the real name is very German.

Reminds me of this from one of my all time favorite shows https://youtu.be/DrlzIuwpg3A?t=32

Assetto Corsa EVO

I hope this is good, and I really hope they stick with their open mindedness to modding from the original. I've got a few hundred hours in the first one at least and the mods are a large part of the reason why.

I may buy that Switch rally game too if it's not gay. Looks good and I wouldn't mind an arcadey fun rally game on the go. Well, I guess I'll just download it since my Switch is hacked, but I'll still go buy it from them if it's good and woke free

I hate wires, so there's that bit. My gaming PC is HTPC form factor on a big TV and if I strung wires across the floor they'd just get tripped over. I do generally hate my wireless headset though (Logitech, idk we will call it POS edition wireless headset). It was cheap, so well I got what I paid for. I don't use it that much. If I ever do care, I may try a Bluetooth setup with some nice headphones. Any of that whole needing a fancy headset so my friends wear hear important callouts in a competitive game is far, far in my past, so I don't really need a gaming headset.

But yeah, those Razer peripherals were a serious splurge for me trying to fix up my desk. They were not inexpensive. Yet both of them were relegated to backup use in a little over a year.

I can second the sentiment. I bought a Razer wireless keyboard and mouse a couple years ago, not cheap at all, the Pro Type and Pro Click I believe is the correct name. This is for a desk where I do work not a gaming station, and I generally don't care about RGB Gamerzzz Pro B1g Bon3r edition items anyway.

It sucked, the battery on the keyboard requires so much charging it might as well be wired, even with the backlight fully off. It double types constantly also. The mouse is okay, but if you want to use the USB wireless dongle it often cuts out at a distance of no more than 2 feet. The mouse also uses a proprietary micro USB charging cable. You'd likely have to trim down the plastic on any generic cable to fit it. I relegated the keyboard to an extra computer in an extra room and the mouse lives in my laptop bag now where it gets light use.

My favorites, Logitech G613, inexpensive wireless mechanical keyboard that uses regular replaceable batteries. I have two of them. I also have two Steelseries Rival 3 wireless, also simple mouse with simple buttons and regular replaceable batteries.

I mean I know all politicians lie and stretch promises to an extreme, but am I really supposed to support Trump pledging to do something he can't possibly execute on? Half of these kids are probably buried in a hole somewhere.

The rest of us will end up paying the price too. Just wait, banking services will become even more of a pain in the ass. There's stores I avoid now, because they lock everything up. I didn't steal anything, don't inconvenience me, actually go after the criminals.

I can't figure out how this guy ever wrote his first books. I guess low barrier to entry to write books. Were they successful at all before the TV show?
