  • I got spanked and even hit a time or two as a kid.

    I turned out okay considering. Had kids and thought a spanking or two wasn’t bad considering what i went though so that’s the stance i took. Thankfully we had ip cams instead of video baby monitors when they were babies. $90 vs $350 at the time so that’s what we did. I set them up with my Synology to record continuously.

    I watched a monster overreact to a common child reaction. [Not justifying just explaining (I was tired and thus had a short fuse as happens at times with young kids)] Thankfully two things had happened. (1) I had the IP camera recording everything that happened, (2) I wanted to see why my kid was acting up and make sure I was in the “right” to spank her. Spoiler, I was not. I saw an angry man react to a kid who didn’t want to do something.

    I cried, because I was my father when I was punished unjustly as a kid. (There were times I actually was a shit head and it was warranted, but i also remember plenty of times it was not) That morning with my 2 year old it was not. Because of that day I no longer fell into the Spanking is okay for me group.

    Don’t get me wrong I know there are times it can be helpful but I realized at that moment I was not a good judge of when those times were. This means I was no longer going to do it. That was me but I don’t judge other who only spank.

    I usually don’t comment on these kind of things but the clear lack of understanding is astounding. Shit is different for every phone and manufacture.

    Yes I would totally love expandable storage but you know what, there have been android phones I used that didn’t have expandable storage. (Not trying to do “what about” but a simple example showing there are tons of phones that have the same problem)

    Xperia 1 III was $1300 when it launched. Not a huge difference but based on inflation that would be $1500 now instead of $999.

    Now for the shit almost no one cares about that the iPhone has and have had for years that Xperia 1 III didn’t. (And flame bonus, that some android phones still don’t!!!) All shitty jokes aside, I am sure there are plenty of Android phones that have this, just showing the stupidity in the argument.

    I don’t care about this list either its just random stats I found on the iPhone page that didn’t show up in the Xperia page. iPhone Stats - https://www.apple.com/uk/iphone-16/specs/ Xperia Stats - https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/mobile-phones-tablets-mobile-phones/xperia-1-iii/specifications

    Not sure why you are being down voted for asking for clarification. I think based on the tone Nate Cox is making fun of the OG post but based on the comment and lack of clear meaning I understand you question. (Make no mistake I fuck up a comment all the time and miss more than one word in explaining what I am saying. No fault to Nate Cox just all those down voting you)

    Ohh man, i am right there with you. It was the same for me with CS however I already had it installed. I wanted to update to 1.6 but I had steam installed and it forced me to update steam before I could update CS. I know they had a lot of growing pains but they eventually did it right due to our struggle.




  • In a bar instead of online like NORMAL PEOPLE.

    All jokes and sarcasm aside, I met my wife in a bar as her and her friend were trying to avoid a guy who seemed to be bothering them. Offered to buy the all a round of drinks and said we are at a table over in the corner if they wanted to join. My future wife and her friend said yeah lets go the guy had a sour look on his face and said no thanks but I will take the beer.

    Had a wonderfully late night talking and laughing with her and fell in love shortly after.



  • Good point. Sorry I wasn’t clear. I only meant that they couldn’t branch out and develop other games like they wanted to. Essentially I was making the same point that you are in terms of what they HAD to develop. MS it was Halo, Sony it’s destiny but in either place they did not have the option to make new IP. At least maybe not till now but that looks more like a forced dev.

    I agree with your sentiment, though that Sony is pushing them more in house.


  • I would generally agree with this statement but I think in this particular case it may be a bad thing. From what I understood of the article they are taking a portion of the Bungie dev team and spinning off to be a part of the Sony game devs. I have a feeling the manage team being taken out had been a big pushback on that.

    Bungie wanted to leave Microsoft because they wanted to do new things and not just Halo. Unfortunately it turned out activation screwed them in terms of their development and mad then cut 70% of the D1 story with less than a year to release.

    After all that they are eventually bought by Sony that now does almost the same thing MS was doing to them.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am glad it’s more managers and corporate office than devs but I have a bad feeling that this is just the start of a bad turn of events for them.
