I mean, who could have expected that outcome!? Idk, I thought it was hilarious. But comedy is subjective.

What is your favorite color?

Sometimes, depends on the coffee...

They're neat. Don't own one.

I live in the Great plains... So maybe like a +100 ft.

Remember, just because someone posts something on the Internet with confidence, doesn't mean they know what they're talking about.

A lot of people really need to stop taking advice from Twitter/X, Facebook/Meta, Reddit/Lemmy, etc.

Spare me the predictable reply "but why should I listen to you" or any variation.

I mean, it's still worth it. It's not a live service game.

Didn't plan to buy one, before the S2 was announced.

The number of anti consumer actions they take is amazing. They still hate YouTube. Instead of making their games not suck, they sue anyone who dares to try. They have a handful of console exclusive that even interest me, everything else I'll get in Steam and it'll play better, have cloud save, and a refund policy.

I bought a NES in the 80s because it was the most amazing, magical thing. Now I'm at the point of 'Fuck Nintendo, let it fall'

I haven’t been to cinema since revenge of the sith

Sorry, I don't believe you've avoided movies for 20 years because "they aren't making good movies" but refer to that movie as a 10/10, non-corpo slop. Messa thinks you're lying.

Inglourious Basterds, The Departed, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Interstellar, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Grand Budapest Hotel, 12 Years a Slave, Django Unchained ... fuck off with that excuse. And since you stopped on Star Wars, we can throw in several MCU movies (not all, but several). The cultural impact alone that Avengers: Endgame had by itself cannot be understated.

Beyond that, the sheer number of times you've defended these kids' actions, this director's comments... with "Who cares about it in this context?" like it's a new phrase you're really trying to get mileage out of... you're way too invested.

I'm going to guess, in this context, you're one of the kids that gave into the hype and made a mess and is now trying to validate your actions.

I use them 100% of the time. Which yes, includes my own driveway.

You should train yourself to use them automatically instead of a manual step. Like a reflex.

And if you're at a light and you plan to turn, you have that blinker going. Even if it's a long red light, even if you think no one is around.

That's still a valid equation.

Solutions are

X = 0

X= √3

X = -√3

I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.

That's literally all of the Internet, not just Reddit. Everyone putting themselves in echo chambers and tuning everything else out. Modern Internet is just people wanting to be told they're right and be showered with worthless affirmations.

Holy fuck you really love defending capitalism!

So EA missed your radar? Or Tencent, Microsoft, Epic, Sony, Take-Two, or Ubisoft... Just to list a few on top, there's certainly more. Rockstar already trying to say $100 minimum for GTA6.

I'm sure some CEO will send you a thank you card though. Maybe Bobby Kotick!

Right it's the development costs ... Not the CEOs making more money than any point in history, with a pay gap that's just insane, executive making dumb ass choices...

Can't be that, must be 'development costs'.

Never mind that today's world, we have some of the best toolings available for software development. Making it easier and more approachable than ever before and it only keeps getting better. And you don't need to hire people that know assembly to make a video game... You can do everything and high level languages.

Stop letting the PR machine from the corporations influence you.

PFP? What does that stand for?

That bad boy never left my team.

Squirtle isn't as good as Squirtle Squad, which would be peak. But it's not an option.

And Charmander is just the basic pick. Picked by people who are 100% distracted by fire.

Oh, that explains why my method never worked. They kept telling me I didn't need a trench coat and to put some pants on... but I never believed them.

Your feelings are not facts.

Being offended, doesn't mean you're in the right and the other person is in the wrong.

Just because your religion says something (or claims it does), doesn't put you in the right.

IMO, maybe a jerk, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think more people need to hear news they don't want to hear from someone they trust.

What I've told most teens looking at the future post high school is, have more then one career/life goal. When I was in middle school, I thought I wanted to be a professional chef. Only to discover I like cooking. I love cooking for friends/family... I loathed the toxic "professional" setting (especially thanks to Gordan Ramsey, who 20 years ago glamorized being a right jackass in the kitchen, pretending that was acceptable). Now I've worked in IT for nearly 2 decades and what I've done in my field has changed a lot.

I think lying to him and saying, "You can be anything, you can do anything, you're amazing!!!!" type of parenting is going to lead to problems if/when the plan doesn't work out and they have no fallback. Personally, coddling your kid and lying to them just because it's a short-term positive emotion (or you're afraid of saying the truth), IMO is bad parenting. You're not there to make sure they get the "right feels" or to be their best friend. You prepare them for the real world. Final note: you hear a lot of professional sports players say "I had a deal with my parents that if

<sport>

<something else>

It needs to be a lot more cheaper, since you don't actually own the game.
