Yes,and then the trans drag queens will start raping children with those joints and their BLT BBQ agenda! And the sun will go dark, and the milk in cows’ udders will go sour, and then banned books are going to rain from the sky, right Ron?
Out of curiosity, since I switched from Windows to Mint recently so I’m not married to it just yet - what would be your recommended distro for Windows users that uses a better/newer tech stack? Mint worked out of the box for me, but if love to try other distros too if they’re better.
The Bethesda of old is long dead. After the disappointment that was Starfield, it will take multiple rave reviews and watching a few streamers playing on Twitch for me to even consider giving them any money. And I sure as hell will not be paying for goddamned mods, not now and not ever. Eff that and eff the greedy assholes that now run Bethesda.

Do shareholders mix with anything? Fucking up the environment? Makes shareholders happy. Mass layoffs? Makes shareholders happy. War, cancer sticks, genocide, addictive drugs? As long as the line goes up shareholders are happy…
To jail, for the rest of his life, yes. Not that I’m holding my breath for it though - the international community has demonstrated time and again that genocide is compmetely fine, as long as it’s happening far away and not to “our people”.
I got it on Game Pass and wanted to give it a try, but when I sat down on the couch, controller in hand, and tried to run it, it asked me to take my phone out and scan a code to create yet another worthless account somewhere. It wouldn’t allow me to even start the game otherwise.
It made me actually say “are you fucking kidding me!?” out loud and uninstall immediately. Screw that - I will not eat at a restaurant that makes me scan a code to see the menu, and I will definitely not play a game that does it either…
Rant over, but that experience annoyed me so much that no update or improvement will make me want to install it again.
Meanwhile, FIFA players: “when can I pre-order the next edition of my game, and could I just pay for the cards in advance, or do I have to wait until release?”
Sadly, bamboozling players, dark patterns and nickle-and-diming work, and work VERY well at that - if they didn’t, people would stop doing it a long time ago…
Not even lose - still get heaps of money, but slightly smaller heaps, which is of course a huge blow to the economy rich fucks, and as such is completely unacceptable.
Wanna try some super entertaining pills, or would you prefer a syringe so you can pump entertainment straight into your veins? First round is free, don’t you want to be entertained?
“Cracking the whip is no fun if we can’t see the fear in our wage slaves’ eyes as we do it, and besides, we want you to experience workplace culture crunch directly and fully, in a crowded office and not a comfort of your own home.” - Rockstar executives, probably.
Wow. Also, the obsession of morons with Punisher is just baffling. It’s not a very complicated story at all, and yet all these idiots just completely misunderstand it and proudly wear this mark because Frank Castle is cool and kills people…
Screw the star of david, having a Punisher skull symbol anywere on or close to your damn uniform should be a fireable offense.
I don’t even do NG+ in these huge games, but now I’m going to skip this one on principle, even though I do like the series. Nope, not going to allow a company to treat me this way.
There will of course be a lot of people who bend over and take it (or even defend it), but I’d rather replay an older title than encourage this shit.
This price hike is absurd - fortunately the only game I play online (Warframe) is implementing cross-save soon, so I’ll be able to move away from Playstation and stop renewing Plus - 80 dollars for online pay and cloud saves is robbery, how greedy can you get?!
Yeah, but recently PS+ subscriptions only get a around 20% discount on Black Friday, and Sony is hiking the price up by now than 30, so it’s more than likely that the discounted price is still going to be higher than the full price now…
