PC here, I don’t play sports games. RPG stuff. Larian, Bioware, Bethesda, yea the damn Ubisoft AC games, RE, and such. Some of the indy stuff. If it’s DND I have it. And 4x. I love and hate 4x. I’ve not seen ads in any of that. I suppose they could’ve worked McDonalds or some bullshit onto Mars station or the Presidium, but they didn’t.

The story lasts longer. And there’s no commercials. Why not?

I say that as an old person.

WIRE or Signal. Granted, convincing your people to move with you is like trying to get an act of Congress in play.

I think they’re shocked when people don’t believe the shit they’re trying to peddle. Trump more so because he thinks he’s the best salesman.

It’s kinda like this. Say you lead the most boring, law abiding, square life, top 20% of the bell curve in that zone.

Would you want strangers in your house, even if they couldn’t technically touch or take anything? Would you want them in your spouse’s closet? Your kid’s room? Looking in your fridge?

Creepy and “hell no”, right?

That’s what privacy is about. The right to lock your door against strangers snooping.

Homestead Rescue is cool. That’s about it.

The last time I had cable was the year of 9/11. And that was only because I plugged in a stray cable on a whim and found that my upstairs apartment tapped into the the cable from the downstairs apartment.

Honestly, with internet, I never saw the point. And internet only cost $10-25/mo back then. Ofc, by about 2012 or so they became wise to that being the trend and started jacking the internet bill rates. And now internet costs the same as cable used to cost, or more, depending.

But I don’t think anyone ever did a GenX is Killing Cable TV headline.

It’s valid. I don’t check email unless I’m at work, fire me.

Is this Wes Anderson’s dog?

It’s the only thing they’ve got, to explain conservative losses. Distracts from the perpetual popular vote losses.

One of the many definitions “Asshole” is applied to.

Just link off of the megathread if you have issues. As usual, subtitles are borked, but that’s it working as it usually does.

That’s a solid estimation of the three.

Refinement wise origins is to Fallout 3 and Odyssey is to New Vegas.

I liked Origins. Tomb exploration. History lessons. Angry hippos. It was solid.

Odyssey is my favorite of the 3. Worth it.

Valhalla was too long. They took the Odyssey formula and just did too much. Normally I completionist games, but I could not finish those repeatable side quests. Odin’s marathon runs among other things. After Valhalla I had no interest in buying Mirage and doing it again.

High odds he doubles his vacuuming for a good relationship, or gets his way and they ultimately break up. ( Most relationships die by bug bites. )

You can’t be a slob when sharing space with another person and expect success.

Working in corrections requires NDA signatures. You’re not going to get much.

Edit: referencing The States

The system is set up such that if you lose your job you lose your health insurance, for you and your children.

And if you miss a paycheck you’re toast. Probable eviction notice in the future. Paycheck to paycheck living is real, even more so in the post 2020 world.

I have to ask. What is a PiP?

They are the necessary mental respite between the headlines and bullshit. Working as intended.

3 hrs is a lot. I think my top time was 30min. Still. It’s cheaper than therapy.
