I mean, it’s not just going to blow up itself…

Unfortunately there are A LOT of people that find them attractive. A stunningly high amount. I would almost guarantee that it’s more of a branding/“all hail God emperor musk” obsession for most but the point remains. There are people out there that legitimately think it looks very cool and beautiful tho which boggles my mind but whatevs.

I haven’t seen a moat in at least the last 100 years

This is a you problem pal. I personally have a moat defense system installed around my home and also around each individual room within the home with draw bridges for isolation in case of emergency. Safety is just common sense.

Duuuuude I haven’t been to McDonald’s in forever but fuck me sideways with a lunch box $3.50 for a hash brown!!! You could go to McDonald’s with $10 and come home with… Two hashbrowns lol wth is going on.

This is right where I am. The funny (and ofren annoying) part is, if I talk with someone from either side they automatically assume I’m the polar opposite of them. People on the far left thing I’m a trump loving maga hat wearing Republican because I don’t love Biden or a lot of the democratic policies. People on the right think I’m left wing extremist that wants to abort all babies and murder Jesus Christ with the LGBTQ+ militia because I don’t love everything Republican. You simply cannot exist in the middle with most people. I can’t get these people to realize I just hate all of them lol

Lmao no idea why but Eupaf Peslpbent got me. No Offense Herbert is fantastic too

I think the key thing is most people don’t like change. They know stroads. They may not love stroads but they work and it’s what they’ve used. I’ve been all over the place in this country and by and large public transportation SUCKS and creates more headaches than anything. Just hopping into a car is 1000x easier. So that’s the view I think most people go into this with. In the cities where public transportation is good, it’s a complete game changer, but they are few and far between so most people don’t have a good reference point. They see people pushing public transportation and think of their own shitty system and say F that.

That sounds kinda heretical to me ngl

I haven’t played nearly all of these but the ones I have played are absolutely dynamite. I suspect this is a killer list

AI apparently doesn’t appreciate cheese on pizza. Despicable. That pizza needs 300% more cheese.

This is wild haha I wonder if it was just someone trying to piss off the studios by popping that in there for free or something? I guess that way it’s guaranteed to never have ads for anyone, ad blocker or not.

That's not quite how this works tho. Microsoft doesn't make games. Sony doesn't make games. The only exception is Nintendo but even they outsource a ton of devopment to studios like 1-up studios, monolith soft, retro studios etc. These companies just make a console that plays games and then they try to buy rights to good games or studios so they can make their games exclusive to that console to bolster sales. Sure, sony and microsoft could pour tons and tons and tons of money into creating their own studios i guess that make their own branded games but they have decided to focus on hardware sales instead. This is especially true for microsoft where the xbox is just a small part of the business where the PC market is their focus.

From a business standpoint, it makes 10000% more sense to just try and acquire other businesses that do the work under you and you just publish their games. Which is why nintendo, sony, and microsoft all try to do it so much. I mean Sony alone has bought 14 development studios since last year.

This whole thing has confused the ever loving balls out of me. Xbox and Microsoft having been getting MURDERED over the last few years and ridiculed by pretty much everyone for one reason and one reason only, they have no games. Why get an Xbox? PlayStation and Nintendo have all the good exclusives. Xbox has nothing.

Now, Microsoft goes out and buys up some IP's and studios that have games they can make exclusive if they want (even tho they've said over and over they won't for the ones that currently aren't console exclusives but we'll see on that one). So, for the first time in pretty much forever they'll have the opportunity for console exclusives other than Halo and now everyone is complaining that they'll make the games console exclusives. It's like the biggest damned if you do, damned if you don't for them lol.

"Fuck Xbox they don't have any good exclusives."

Microsoft goes out and gets good exclusives

"Fuck Xbox they're making the good games exclusive."

I think it's "make the scene end" but I'm not positive

Second this. I’ve heard it many many many many times. “You may have to pay but you won’t wait and it’s the best in the world! People come from all over the world here for treatment!”

Throw some good books my way! I’m always on the lookout

What do you do for work?

I hate working. I only work to have food, a roof over my head, and to be able to do the things I actually like doing. The absolute last thing I want to spend 20 minutes talking about is my job.

I don’t fault anyone for asking this, it’s a completely common and innocuous question, I just can’t stand it.

Absolutely agree. The other things are just garbage and a waste of energy to consume. If for some reason you find yourself with trail mix that isn’t all chocolate, what you want to do is just heat up the trail mix over a strainer and let all the chocolate fall thru. Let the chocolate cool, throw away the rest, and then eat the remaining chocolate once it hardens. Enjoy the best trail mix ever.

I booked a hotel online the other day and was asked if I want to leave a tip… A tip for what? I didn’t even interact with a human. Just clicked a few buttons on a website. Am I tipping the web developer?? Lol

I feel like this is a good dilemma to have! Lots of people can’t find a game to really get immersed in. Being worried about being too immersed in a game is pretty solid
