yeah i should add that i built a desktop in the summer of 2011 and i'm just now replacing it because it can't run the newest games anymore

i would say that the very best single player games are my favorite. But they always end (examples: Assassin's Creed, Banner Saga, Arkham Asylum, Dark Souls, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Portal, Sleeping Dogs, KOTOR, Super Mario, Halo, Witcher, Final Fantasy)

So the end result is that vast majority of my time ends up getting sucked up by good multiplayer games. I rotate between the hyper competitive (Rocket League, Starcraft, Nidhogg, shooters) and social (Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Destiny, Salem)

Local multiplayer is a different category of activity altogether

I think part of the issue, for me at least, is that it's in the job description- maybe in the unwritten rules,i don't know- to always be in control of the situation

So when anyone threatens their authority, by knowing more or not being super demure (see the nurse video- I mean mostly the manager on the phone) they are put in a bad position where it's very easy to go overboard

The main difference is that desktops have vastly better cooling systems- there's more space to dissipate the heat with, put bigger fans in, and so on

Laptops get hot and deteriorate more quickly, and have to slow down their own operation automatically to prevent from overheating

So laptops will generally underperform for their specs

Laptops have the obvious advantage of being portable. Even when you're not traveling, it's trivial to plug it into a tv or something to watch movies

So which to get depends on what you want to use it for

All I have is an awareness of all the ways I've spent the government's money. Looking at the things I have access, to they cost a lot. It's not a BAD thing when people take out more than they put in. It's the entire point of our infrastructure, that people who can't be productive enough to meaningfully contribute to it can still, say, have a smart phone and internet and air conditioning and transportation. Not everyone can be a doctor or lawyer or engineer, but lawfully residing in the US makes it way easier to live comfortably than most places.
I don't know if granting all those privileges to as many people as come over is sustainable, and knowing what those costs are is a really important step to answering that question.

i appreciate that you typed out what appears to be your honest line of reasoning

i guess people sort of start with what they can see. kind of explains why people in the states that accept the most federal aid tend to vote against federal aid- they see more being drained than being replaced and make those negative associations with the system

obviously i have a slightly different perspective, but i don't have the stats to back myself up

exactly. I don't have a problem with the government spending money but before agreeing to take on a cost we should at least know what it is. And we have resources that can combat global poverty more efficiently than our social infrastructure.

i think you may want to take a step back and think about how you ended up with your gut on one side from the start

it's a pretty interesting experience

like obviously reading between your lines you have a basic assumption that all people are leeches upon society

it's always good when people do the "I don't know the numbers" shtick while continually arguing for one conclusion

It's not a trick, I don't know the numbers. No one has stated any numbers. If you provide numbers I'm willing to change my mind in light of new evidence. I know it sounds like I'm trying to epically own you or whatever but I'm literally just asking for numbers.

i think the point is... how does one become in support of a stance without looking at any evidence?

Trump is starting to sound like a Batman villain

"Congress, you are on a clock. Six months, and all these children and adults... get fucked. Tick tock!"

It's also weird that he goes and undermines himself by implying he would "revisit" if congress wasn't able to beat the deadline. He just wants everyone to like him, I think.

The problem is that he's playing games with real human lives

As a kid, there was this whole debacle where the local government was deciding what to do with all the special needs kids. Our city was debating removing all money from special needs programs. they ended up doing it, and putting those kids on a shuttle to another town every day, breaking up siblings and inconveniencing parents

The fear and uncertainty during their debate period was ridiculous, and that was over something comparatively minor. Can't imagine how these next months are going to be for those children, even in the best case scenario

This will be a formative experience for them

it all comes down to basically the first time i saw games on a new generation of consoles

the first was when i saw super mario bros. 2 for the first time at a friend's house. most advanced game i had played prior to that was probably rogue on an old, beat up PC

then the 3d games on the n64 and ps1

then the games with smooth spheres & curves on the dreamcast, xbox and ps2

then the incredible fidelity on the ps3 and beyond. but nothing's really blown my mind graphically since that

cutscenes in ff8 and starcraft felt amazing at the time. distinctly remember my friend & i discussing whether video games would ever have real-time graphics as good as those, ha

first non-graphical 'mind blow' was definitely playing ff7, leaving midgar and realizing i wasn't even close to done with the first disc

the plot twists in knights of the old republic really got me, and the depth of emotion in metal gear solid did as well

finding out that pokemon silver was twice as big as i expected it to be was awesome

being forced to go to a handheld to get the full story killed my interest in kingdom hearts

Really? That was the dealbreaker?

yeah- there was that game for the gba or psp or whatever that came out between kh1 and kh2 that i didn't play. kingdom hearts 2 didn't 100% make sense, and i think that bridge game probably helped make heads or tails of it

even if it had literally 0 story in it, i had no way of knowing, so i didn't know if a character was new or had a previously established background

there were also some more games where you played as roxas or something (?). basically, since i knew i wasn't ever going to really understand what was going on in the series i dropped it

reboots are the worst, because they erase actual story progress instead of being a distraction

well actually, a mobile or handheld game with important story is just as lethal

being forced to go to a handheld to get the full story killed my interest in kingdom hearts and almost killed my interest in metal gear solid

it's definitely supposed to be before tax, but they make it difficult to see sometimes

my personal method is to usually do 20% of the after tax amount, and then nudge the number down a little bit

i think it usually ends up being between 17 and 21 percent of the pre-tax number, and that's not anything to complain about

in terms of the dark tower i didn't read the whole series myself, but finished it via wikipedia. apparently in a later book (spoilers)

he teleports to 1970s new york and people specifically reference and treat him as a honky

but then again

it can always be an alternate dimension or timeline or whatever so who cares really

i just meant to bring up a random example. maybe a better one would be the black norse god in thor, maybe? i dunno. the example could even be another white actor playing a traditionally non white role
