“hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

“hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

I’ve checked for the Azure Gate Bridge and whether green lights mean go, and so far I don’t think we Slid anywhere but keep your eyes peeled.

As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

There’s several of us in Ohio, what if we toss Mike dewine and his ilk to Kentucky?

but provides no evidence of wrongdoing

So surely it will be rejected and nobody being sued will even need to show up since nobody even has any evidence?

Surely…

must’ve read David vs. Goliath and sided with the Goliath.

Bold of you to assume that they can read, or that they have read the Bible.

In my experience not even “devout Christians” do that last one.

Well that took a sharp turn…

saw war as a thrilling, life-or-death, adventure.

That just sounds like psychopath-lite…

Oh man, I missed bullpupping memes…

Part 1 is the first act

Oh my god I just now got what my sister meant by “the act break is super long” and why my mother replied “lol” in the family group chat.

Same.

I listened to the original Broadway cast so many times I was concerned I wouldn’t like a “cover” of it. After my sister said she liked it, and listening to a song and not finding it objectionable, I had even considered watching it.

This is the first I’ve heard of it being a two parter, so they hid it well. I’m surprised my sister didn’t say anything

Not a chance in hell I’m watching it until part two comes out in physical media so I can watch them both in one go. I hate breaking up the flow, even for a few hours while I wait for the next screening…

if the characters behave too unnatural

My wife doesn’t get this.

I can’t stand watching some movies because every part of the movie is just one character doing something unnatural or outright insane that nobody would ever do, and the people around them react in similarly unnatural and insane ways.

And certain old movies (especially holiday oriented ones) that lean heavily into the “everyone here is a bumbling idiot” trope crank this up to 11.

If you enjoy said things, awesome. Good for you. Keep watching them, it literally does not affect me. I’m genuinely glad you have entertainment. I just won’t watch it with you.

“Slow, or quick?”

My wife is super bad at not volunteering information.

She’s partially deaf and a few other issues that make phone conversations hard, so she often asks me to sit in and listen to explain anything she didn’t catch, and make sure she heard everything correctly.

I’m often making the neck cut “stop talking/mute mic” motion to get her to stop saying things the other people don’t need to hear.

For instance, she quit a previous job over an employee basically stalking her while she was on the property, and screaming in her face over any imagined sleight. This employee was a problem with others as well, but who you know is more important than how you work in some places so nothing was ever done.

The other places she interviews with don’t need the whole back story of why she quit. “Safety concerns” is completely correct, and leaves out the possibility that the new job might think you don’t work well with others. She does. The other guy didn’t.

So every time she starts telling the potential employer about it, I cut her off to remind her of that.

I’m very much the “ALL my information is need to know and you don’t need to know” kind of person when it comes to things like that, and she just kind of vomits words all over the place when she feels uncomfortable.

I live just outside a no-fly zone around an airport. Maybe a mile away, slightly under.

I never take my drone above the trees unless I’m away from home because I’m paranoid about anything going wrong and my drone just taking off in one direction until it dies or hits something.

I’d rather be extra cautious and be lightly mocked than cause the airport to shut down and have the alphabet boys knocking on/down my door.

Especially since I live close enough to a military base that my drone could theoretically reach it in a flyaway, if winds are helping it along.

Note: I have been lucky enough that in four years, I have never lost contact with my drone, but the paranoia remains.

The sentence that was handed down based on the evidence should be served by the fabricators. And because punishment for the poors is extremely disproportionate (snatching $20 from a counter is not deserving of a year in prison) I say add 20% to the sentence, minimum.

Make them serve 18 years, minimum. Of course, their choices are solitary for their protection or Gen-pop.

The angled DOD seal to reflect Walter’s slightly down turned head is a nice touch

That screeching noise you hear is the sound of them backtracking, hard.

killing a cop

Weird how one civilian killing another somehow has a different meaning just because of the jobs they work. Seems pretty fucking stupid if you ask me. If it was going to be a harsher penalty(,) then I’d expect it to be a(n) actually beneficial job that people should respect like a pediatrician or janitor.

(edited for grammar)

She assaulted me directly, and since my wrist is in an ace wrap, obviously it was a savage attack.

Why isn’t she being arrested on my word alone?

Oh right, because we live in completely different worlds where the rich and politicians get extremely preferential treatment up to and including literal fucking treason without repercussions.
