Jake is going to get fucked up. This is going to be like watching a dumpster fire I cant watch.

Iron Mike is going to win for sure. I feel bad for Jake Paul even though he has terrible associations (I think his brother disrespected the dead)

Why would you feel bad for him, it isn't like someone is forcing him to do this, he literally went out of his way to make this happen. Jake Paul isn't just terrible by association, he's as big a jackass as his brother.

Is that the guy who said black people owe white people reparations for making them slaves and rescuing them from Africa?

I can't find a specific reference to it, but it might be the only stupid thing he hasn't said.

Not my governor thankfully.

Dear god no.

I don't think there's a single thing I like about Jake Paul. He's like Elon, he just embarrasses himself over and over for being hatable.

Maybe the two of them could have a death match to be the first person to die on Mars.

It would have been interesting if this was the late 80's/early 90's but now its just kind of sad. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Tyson could still clean his clock if he actually cared to try, but I just don't see him putting in that kind of work when he can just show up and cash an easy paycheck.

He'd make a fortune on the live stream.

Who will take over the development of the RWBY series?

Considering they were owned by Warner Bros./Discovery you'll be lucky if they don't wipe it out for a tax writeoff.

I enjoyed the first one, I think they got progressively worse though.

He is like the Minecraft guy, he made his money then got out of the business. I didn't really care about what he said, and I enjoyed Fez for the 3-4 hours it took me to beat it, but it wasn't anything I was aching for a sequel to. He can sit in his room with his millions and just stay out of society for all I care.

Notch was a slightly different case than Fish. Notch sold his company for a big pile of Microsoft money and decided he was done. Fish was actually working on another game and then had an online meltdown and decided he didn't want to deal with people.

Give me my $12 and give it to me NOW

$12 is pretty good for a class action, most of mine are like $1.25. Only people that get rich off class action suits are the lawyers.

Reagan getting shot by Hinckley.

He spent most of his presidency getting into fights on Twitter and about the only thing his supporters can point to as an accomplishment of his presidency was more a matter of timing than anything. (Overturning of Roe v. Wade via stacking the Supreme Court with conservatives.)

Between his age, Israel, and perceptions of the economy, I feel like he's the only Democrat that could lose to Trump.

I will love the follow up story when this jackass is fired and can't find a job because he refuses to deliver to the most populated city by a huge margin in America. Also some in NYC do support Trump so this notion that everyone in NYC thinks Trump is the worst is a fucking joke.

The only way this guy keeps his job is if his trucking company would never send him to NYC anyways, like if his typical locations are all on the SE or something and he does 100% of his deliveries down there.

Or he is an independent trucker.

Oh and the guy that made the original tweet already changed his mind anyway https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/maga-trucker-does-180-trying-123056407.html

But how many sold?

Versus how many were just forcibly handed out to citizens in China.

As a true global phenomena? I would include Harry Potter as a contender.

I would agree, although the series as a whole does cross into the 21st century and that is also probably when it really took off as a global phenomena.

Catcher in the Rye

I hated that book immensely.

I used to go all the time as an adult, my wife and I got married in EPCOT, but that was also the last time we were there. Not only has it gotten more expensive, but the overall quality of the experience has declined over time. Now that is our opinion, my brother moved his family down there a couple years ago and they go to the parks all the time.

Remember how they showed a title card for Elder Scrolls 6? Wasn't that like 6 years ago? It'll probably be at least another 6 years before it even launches, and it'll probably suck when it does.

E3 2018, so going on 6 years. Current rumors say 2026, but given that it is Bethesda we can expect that to slip a year or two.

"here's a trailer for a game that might come out three years from now."

Or 8-10 years if you are Bethesda.

If I had a vehicle I could get under without having to jack it up I would probably do it, but jacking my car up to a height that I could get under it with room to work on my fairly uneven driveway isn't really something I'm interested in.

Yellow posted...

so it might just be worth getting robbed over if you actually have the money.

Largely this though. There are a number of things that I know how to do, but I'm generally more than happy to pay someone to do to save my time. I have a shop in walking distance of my house, so I can drop my car off in the morning, walk home and work and then walk back to pick it up later.

GranTurismo posted...

so you say it is def. much much worse now on avg?

No, I'm saying it could be much worse now but I have no way of knowing for certain. I also only worked in one store, a Gamestop back when at least half the store was still dedicated to productivity software, so someone else working in a different kind of store in the same time period may have had a much different experience.

Honestly I dealt with relatively few bad customers in my brief retail stint, but it was also a LONG time ago before the rise of the Karens.

Now I finished the Dragon Reborn. I think this one might be my favorite so far. This series is so great that I just fly through the books.

Enjoy it while you can.

Not really, that list only includes things that meet the UN definition of genocide and excludes other mass killings that have potentially higher body counts. Germany was terrible, but they may not even have the highest body count in WW2.

I've never heard of a Ralph baer console, is that like atari?

I tell everyone being anti semitic on gaming sites and forums this even though its common public knowledge

I'm sure they've got conspiracy theories to cover that.

You would have to be killing enemies at a ludicrous rate too, just for it not to take forever.

I did a quick test run in Vampire Survivors, just because it was a game I had installed that had a fairly high kill count. Over a three hour run I managed to kill 1,733,361 enemies, for an average of around 578k an hour. That means it would take around 72 straight days to reach a billion kills.

Played the original, no interest in whatever they are doing with this version.

I've never had a cat that actually liked to get into water. Most of them have liked hanging out on the side of the tub if one of us is in the tub though.

Cost?

Eh, it was 14 years ago so I'm not 100% sure but I think it was around $25k. That included having photos taken in the Magic Kingdom before the park opened and a dessert party in EPCOT to watch the fireworks, on top of the actual ceremony and reception along with some other stuff. Based on how prices for everything else have gone up at Disney since then I'm sure it is VASTLY more expensive now.

As far as I know, the United States is the only nation to actually attack with nuclear weapons despite many other countries having them. The chances that Japan would actually use these nuclear weapons is slim, but at least they'd have a defense.

Whatever country had the bomb first in WW2 would have used it, it was too much of a tactical advantage not to.

Congratulations. We had our wedding in EPCOT.

I mean, there are already successful in-person gaming conventions so they aren't really doing anything special on that front.

I have two or three I think, but the only thing I play regularly is Words with Friends because my mom keeps inviting me to games.

My wife and I don't do Valentine's Day.

honestly, the presidency has very little to do with how well the government works

Eh, that is only partially true. While it would be hard for any president to do something positive at the moment, given the state of the House and Senate, a President can still do a lot of negative things via Executive Order and on the foreign policy front.

I just feel like there are just better things you could drink than soda, diet or not. Why drink diet when you could drink seltzer water? Or water? Ice water is pretty good.

Generally I find when they say 'gamers' like that they generally mean 'incels'. The kind of people that will call a game 'woke' because the female character models don't look like porn stars.

I'll be surprised if starfield doesn't come out on every console here on for at least the next two generations.

I don't know. There is a cost to porting and supporting a game to new hardware. They did it for Skyrim because it was ludicrously popular and people were willing to re-buy the game multiple times, but Starfield may not make financial sense to put the effort to support it.

GranTurismo posted...

never had gamepass. If you unsubscribe from gamepass you lose all your games? So does this starfield thing kinda make you lean more into thinking that cod won't be taken off of PS, if you ever thought that.

I honestly have no idea what to expect. There are a lot of analysts that think there won't even be another generation of Xbox. My best guess is they will keep anything they promised support for as multiplatform for some length of time, just because they would never get another large merger approved in the EU if they backtracked on it.
