I just stick with discs. No one likes them anymore I guess, but I could easily store 200 movies in a small space. I don't really expect player/drive availability to go to zero anytime even nearly soon. Yeah, they degrade, but if I'm talking about the remainder of my lifetime, what percentage will I lose from discs stored in a cool, dry place?
There's something history behind it for sure. It's not as simple as "he didn't want her to touch me cuz I'm blak." The race card works well to not get whatever is really going on questioned.
I've tried. It's been tough with games--especially if you aren't a Steam acolyte and play a lot of games older than 5 years. I'm still going to push that way as I can. Maybe just the modern stuff I play. At which point, I could pretty easily roll back to a locked down Windows 10 for everything else. I guess lucky for me I really only game on my Windows machine, so their telemetry that I haven't disabled is going to look about like what they'd get from a game console.
I feel the same, I've gotten a decent way into it but nothing calls me back. I played Asylum in a weekend because I didn't want to put it down.. There's nothing I recall bad about Knight. My opinion, it went too far with the open-worldness and too short on the story. I preferred the tight smaller scale story of Arkham Asylum of the three. Most like City more though.
Maybe it is now, I'm not really a young white dude so I don't have a point of reference for that, and I find most people here spend much more time observing leftist spaces than I do, so I guess they could use that term for it now. I was thinking historically. I grew up the nerdy programmer, game modder, computer builder type. I can't imagine any of my friends wanting to claim a term to describe ourselves as a "dudebro." In 1995, we'd have wholly rejected something that sounded so retarded and gay, or projected it onto a another group that was actually retarded and gay.
I never thought of the term dudebro as any of these things, but more of the college fraternity trust fund types who spent all their time partying on their dad's money while treating everyone else who were inevitably beneath them like shit. As far as gaming goes, they would never be seen playing anything beyond Madden or Call of Duty.
Outside of what they are called though, whatever group you describe are definitely the ones that made the golden age of games.
Sure things are worse now, but by all accounts I've heard first hand it points to a lot of things they wouldn't do today. Houses were tiny and the children shared small rooms. Women cooked almost every meal and tended the house. Some made clothes for the kids. Eating out was rare and expensive. It wasn't stop at Starbucks daily for breakfast, eat out at lunch, and doorfash dinner while watching TV on one of six paid streaming services. The wife got up and cooked breakfast and made coffee, packed lunch for the husband, and cooked dinner. You watched on the one TV whatever was on the three free channels, or did something else.
I always hear a lot about this dead dream, but very little about modem people willing to live that life.
I played that game a tiny bit on a friend's computer not all that long ago. The camos and skins in there are fucking insane now. Every enemy is bright purple, or like giant white fur, dressed like a teletubbie, etc. There's certainly no blending in. My heyday in that game was COD4-Black Ops 2, and I never wanted to be so obvious looking.

They reject things that sound juvenile to pretend to be adults (or "adulting" as they like to say), yet act like children in every other way.
Every time competition for their shit excuse of a game comes out, it's smashed into the ground within six months. I'd guess it's not competition, just only so many people are going to buy your endless MTX.
This is the real answer. Star Wars was never realistic, but it had a certain feel to it. Most of which was gone in all of the Disney works. They are just generic space movies with a Star Wars title and saying things about the force.
He's white, so he just died in custody.
I'm sure he was a little crazy, but part of me just can't help but think he might have just been pissed at the sorry state of the world and was dealing with it in his own way.
I've been surprised the US hasn't cut rates yet. Free debt is not the answer, leave it be long-term.
Where I am in Texas you cannot carry in any form at a place that is licensed to sell alcohol and gets more than half it's income from alcohol (i.e. a bar). You also can't carry while intoxicated unless on private property. I suppose there's no reason you couldn't go to an alcohol-serving restaurant that is primarily food, but I'd stick to coffee and not leave an opportunity for intoxication.
Of course I have no idea about Idaho specifically. Some of the states around me are similar but a few require a license.
Research I've seen at best they have some extremely limited MIRV capability that I'd guess was not all that well tested and the likely range would be the Eastern hemisphere. So if they did it, as far as where I sit, it would hit some European cities, and upend politics when the US won't fire back despite NATO. So me being in the US, well, I'm not going to worry about it.
Maybe they will be really stupid and decide to fire one at Russia and we can be done with Israel then.
That's cool. I might have to get my hands on a guitar controller sometime and try it out, had an itch for a music based game lately.
It's very cool, but I know I'd get sick of it. I'd love to try it though. Maybe that's an actual use for VR, I've heard about VR cafes or something of that nature, I just assumed it was weird socialites having sex chat. If there were places where I could pay for an hour of time with friends on a setup of this nature, I'd do it.
I have a racing wheel, and even then at times I get tired of using it. It's not as relaxing as leaning back in a chair, and gaming is hugely relaxation for me.
Well, if I'm ever in the area I'll stop in, and I rarely drink. They also have open carry coffee mornings too, so that's cool. I'm always wary of political grifts though, hopefully that's not this.
Uh, learn something new every day I guess. I could have lived without that piece of knowledge. There's also nothing I can think of I'd do in my life that is optional that would put me in a life of diapers by age 21.
It's hot as hell here in the summer so I hole up inside more and have less going on. Still, I've rolled a lot of my activity back in time a bit. I spend the first couple hours of the weekend days outdoors before it's too hot. Fishing, biking, etc. Nothing hardcore, I just go outside and enjoy it. The water, the flowers, the trees, and the fish do not celebrate pride month, they aren't going to tell me about. Watched a Ghibli film yesterday morning even.
Otherwise, I just don't get agitated about it for the most part. I don't need to hide. I decided back in 2021 it was doing me no good and letting them win. So, I just do other things. Media consumption is not the whole of life.

I'm not even sure we need a minute to do that, much less a month.
Dying for your country only gets you a day.
They'd have had an endless income stream if they had done just that and churned out mediocre content that respected the source material. But, just like everything else it must be infused with idpol and feminism.
Well, it's been college I've been watching. But yeah it will eventually show up.
A lot of TV was never recorded higher than at-the-time broadcast quality, I've got some of that on DVD. There's no reason to have better.
I've argued with some streaming service advocates that streaming 4K looks no better than 1080p Blu-Ray anyway. At a certain point bitrate wins. I guess that's my cope, I have a lot of 1080p Blu-Ray.
