Did you see Wickens get a podium today? Amazing!

Yeah, they discussed that a bit on the broadcast earlier, really cool to see.

This stuff is always cool to me

tiers? dafuck, why?

Think of it as
Tier 1: Xbox Live Gold
Tier 2: Game Pass
Tier 3: Game Pass Ultimate

Roughly. Game Pass ultimate gets you access to PC games and game streaming, here tier 3 gets you access to BC games and game streaming.

I'm confused by the mention of cloud storage. Are you installing games there, or is that just the existing cloud save stuff?

I think that's a reflection of covid's impact on working conditions as much as anything else.

What the fuck does he care, as long as every shift is staffed? Tell him to get over himself.

NFL Blitz, probably

Those words are all well and good, but there are a lot of dead Cambodians who might have questions about whether those standards were applied in practice. There are a lot of Iraqi mothers seeing birth defects in their children who might have similar questions.

The reason America has not done well in these "Wars against people in Pajamas [No - Traditional Desert Wear] and AK47s" is because America tries to minimalist collateral damage.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Big_Fat_Obnoxious_Boss?wprov=sfla1

My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss was a television show on the Fox Network that was filmed in July 2004 and aired from NovemberDecember 2004. Similar to My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance, it was a parody of shows such as The Apprentice. The contestants performed several tasks that they were all told would help them win a job at the Chicago-based conglomerate IOCOR and a $250,000 prize. However, none of the contestants knew that the company and the position were fake.

The show was usually punctuated by the actions of the "boss" Mr. N. Paul Todd, whose name was an anagram of that of Donald Trump. The contestants learn about his multibillion-dollar venture capital firm IOCOR, and in any episode, he or a member of his "family" could usually be found doing something either to unsettle the contestants or to test the limit of their blindness to truth.

MLB Network is showing Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, and an ad for this show has been behind home plate for much of the broadcast. It's hard to capture the feeling of realizing this forgotten show was parodying the guy who would become president.

Of course, "Hot" implies sexiness, so now they're the Lukewarm Wheels

You're so right

Adidas' founder was a man named Adi (short for Adolf) Dassler

The only correct take in all of this.

That is useful, but it's gonna take some time to get my fingers to adjust to that input

I know this is a big circle jerk for you guys but trolling dead people just makes you look horrible.

So too do videos telling the governor to kiss your ass because he required a life-saving vaccine as part of a job that ostensibly serves the public.

a heavier workload

Where's that coming from?

I'm someone who can entertain myself a lot with repetitive single player stuff. So take it with a grain of salt when I say that I've put 100 hours into Smash Ultimate single player.

its on the news all day, but in everyday life nobody besides hospital workers notices anything different from 2019 besides masks

What are the hospital workers noticing?

Goddamn that game has a steep learning curve. None of the Devil May Cry games caused me so much grief.

This is the second time this week I've felt compelled to check out DMC.

Yeah, I think that's a problem

A lot of philanthropists are people who have caused harms in other areas of their life. The one doesn't cancel out the other; real life is not one of those RPGs with a morality meter.

I would love to have never listened to Joe Rogan, but there are five topics a week hear about whatever dumb shit he happens to be talking about at any moment

I'm playing it for the first time, just finished Chapter 5. I'm enjoying it, but I feel like something about the combat mechanics is eluding me. I've needed a lot of retries for the last couple major bosses I've fought.

I'm morbidly curious to learn what you mean when you say mistakes here

https://thecolumn.substack.com/p/new-data-shows-61-rise-in-us-prison

A delayed release of statistics about U.S. federal and state prisons by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) showed a startling increase in deaths from 2019 to 2020, from 4,200 to 6,100. This was despite an overall reduction in the prison population by almost 10 percent, from 608,026 in 2019 to 549,622 in 2020. (This population decrease was due to a reduction of new admissions caused by a fall in crime rates during the 2020 lockdowns. The number of prisoners released actually went down.) In absolute terms, this is a death increase of 46 percent. When adjusted for mortality rate, because the overall population was reduced, its a total death increase of 61 percentby far the highest rate since statistics have been kept on prison deaths.
...
The BJS data doesnt include local jails, immigration detention centers, youth prisons, or involuntary commitment, so the toll is likely much higher.

I know the UK's laws are a little different regarding reporting on cases pre-trial, but still

Tales has awful combat. Even Arise is like two decades outdated

I dunno, I enjoyed it. I will say I liked Scarlet Nexus' a bit more, but the combat in Arise kept me engaged throughout.

From what little I've seen of him recently he's not nearly as sharp as he was only a few years ago. He also seems to have picked up some dumbass fringe beliefs along the way.

What happens with these online political celebrities is, they cultivate an audience, and then the audience cultivates them. If you build yourself a brand as a certain type of thinker, deviation from that means potentially alienating your followers but probably won't gain you any new ones among people who know your previous work. The incentives are to give the people what they want - and become a caricature of yourself.
