Not much left to boycott. Just don’t subscribe to Gamepass and that cuts off their only actual revenue stream left lmao.

That power up rewards card was more powerful than we all thought I guess.

I may just have to part with it then. I’m guessing it’ll sell fast ahead of GTA6. It’s weird but it is probably my least favorite console I’ve ever owned. The only meaningful exclusive I’ve played was Astro Bot. As a huge platformer kid, that brought me back to my PS1 days.

I’m likely going to sell my PS5. I don’t want to support Sony at all. Hoping to get what I paid for it now that hardware prices are through the roof. It’ll be sad to part with the Atomic Purple Dark Plates, but my PS5 collects dust.

My wife and I tried God of War 2018 recently because the internet sings its praise.

Turns out we were both pretty turned off by the Neanderthal toxic masculinity Kratos shows the boy all the time.

I’m sure it’s setting up the story for character growth, but it was annoying as hell.

A dinner table with one Nazi amongst five friends just makes a table of five Nazi.

It really is an end of an era. I won’t buy an all digital console. I already have a PC for that and it plays everything better in 4k. Nintendo is truly the last console maker with great first party, physical media, and console gimmicks that interest me.

Phoenix and Vegas are competing for worst place to build gigantic cites.

This is the reason I returned it a couple years ago. Hard pass on the humor. Was worse when I saw how old the guy who made it was. Just felt cringe.

Hybrid Theory

Every time I hear Dumpweed from the start of that live album I am so happy. It’s played faster and with so much enthusiasm.

Hits the dopamine receptors just right.

This is everyone in Arizona in the summer. “At least there is no windshield scraping!”

AZ people are delusional.

I’m not gonna lie, not being able to buy it makes me want the steam machine less. Sadly I don’t even need one to begin with.

This is hilarious. I doubt Microsoft buys anymore IP at this point. Seems like they are failing hard but who knows they make the craziest decisions.

Either way it’ll end in layoffs.

I don’t worry about kobo, but I can’t find everything on there. Since Dungeon Crawler Carl is only on Amazon it seems like he has a publishing deal with them or something. It just sucks I can’t actually buy to own those books without getting physical copies.

It really sucks but I think this is the case. I can’t even read an ebook half the time with proper ownership. It’s either Amazon exclusive and then I don’t own it, or it happens to go on kobo/humble bundle DRM free. Every now and again the author sells things direct DRM free and I’ll buy from them.

I’m not giving Amazon a penny for their ebook scam library where they can change anything on a whim. It’s some serious 1984 shit, they can change the contents of the ebook whenever they want.

We can do nothing. Now people are getting 30 year sentences for protesting in Texas. They are clearly sending a message that we will be shot in the streets like Alex Pretti or we will be thrown in jail.

This is exactly the case. The made the $80 version the budget edition. One where you get an incomplete package for not paying the $100 that the game actually costs.

I just can’t see a reason to spend that much on a second PC. My GPU was almost the price of the Steam machine though so it isn’t a terrible value proposition in this current landscape. I just don’t need another machine.

I’d rather shell out of a 9070XT/5080 type card once every 5-6 years instead of a 3060 tier card once a generation.

I hope longer upgrade cycles for both companies will force more game optimizations and less ewaste over time.
