At least MS account may be slightly more useful (OS, software, school, work). There is literally no reason to have PSN account except a few exclusive games on PlayStation. Even worse are smaller game devs and pubs nagging for accounts.

Of course there is no great reason offline/SP/old games should require an account to play, and out of principle “nope” should be considered. But almost every goddamn thing requires an account these days. At least we have decent password managers now…

Can they lead their flock into the void of the next pandemic? If they’d rather die than use their brain, it’s probably for the best.

They want to like him, at least the persona they hear about. Then they’re faced with the ugly reality… and must quickly retreat back to their bunker before any doubts creep in.

If they had a proper air force, the war would be over. Russia has completely exposed and embarrassed themselves at every opportunity.

Honestly, that window of opportunity for Russians has closed, possibly for a very long time. By now, much of the gov is designed to quickly and brutally control opposition and protests.

For contrast: Just on the other side of the border a decade ago, tens of thousands of courageous Ukrainians seized a very similar opportunity. They fought and died for it, did not give up, and won the battle. Fuck Putin and his Yanukovych puppets, hello Zelenskyy and EU. But Ukrainians are still fighting to finish the war. They should be incredibly proud of their achievements so far.

I believe that was the intent, my nutsack. “Crooked and Obscene” describes the artwork, former potus and his penis (allegedly).

Agreed. Competition is gone. This is also a sign that there will be very little investment or improvement in the industry, so it now exists primarily to extract wealth from the most desperate folks, until it all crumbles and the golden parachutes are deployed.

All I hear in this instance is, “I’m still ultra butthurt about the impeachments!” Which explains GOP reps’ desperate and embarrassing “inquiries” into anything that oozes out of his mouth. They’re so unbelievably pathetic.

At the very least, this guy should be captured and studied for his completely hairless situation. More naked mole rat than human. But nice try with the glasses…

I wonder if anybody remembers when it leaked Microsoft had a concept of a plan about restrictions on Xbox discs (used/shared), everyone gasped, Sony mocked them in a video about “sharing discs” on PS4 and became a turning point in the console wars…

Even a decade later: Remove discs at your peril! Half the reason I’ve even bought consoles is for Blu-ray movies (still unbeatable AV quality). Sony won both the console and disc drive wars FFS! Still not enough. “Line must go up more!”

I hope MS is at least mocking them back right now, for giggles. Before announcing a very similar thing next year…

Half the population would do nothing, just take out their phones to record it, then pretend they could’ve never changed the result. “I can’t believe the trolley did that! Yeah, I caught it on video!”

I think they know there’s a 60-70% chance they are not welcome at any given place (if only for cameras and disruption, but also for deranged asshole followers). So the strategy is don’t ask, just show up, and threaten if there’s a problem. What a surprise.

They love to punish employees by withholding their paychecks for a few weeks or months. With solidarity and support, the executives will regret it.

In this case, Pootytang has developed the plan, so it probably exists. It would probably work out as well as Donnie’s previous master negotiations with terrorists.

It’s gonna feel great to vote and finally terminate his presidency, then watch the cult lose their minds, fracture and fade into oblivion (or prison).

Agreed, the relentless ads are intolerable (probably due to fewer listeners, which leads to a death spiral, much like antenna TV). I haven’t heard anyone recommend radio since before the iPod. I’d prefer nature/noise as well.

Mike is barely in control of his party, just ignored them and Donnie by “funding the government” (what a controversy!) and is probably about to lose his job (either by his party, or by election). Zelenskyy should not pay this stunt much attention; just have someone privately tell them what they want to hear, and carry on.

On very special occasions I’ll ride an escalator.

I’m really disappointed that we don’t yet have the “press X to activate impenetrable orb shield” that videogames have had for decades.

Still doing so. Now Comer is targeting Walz. What a surprise. They will never get over T**** getting impeached twice.

First it was, “I’m going to Springfield!” Then it was, “…in a couple weeks.” Like his healthcare plan and infrastructure week, it was then that we all knew it wasn’t going to happen anytime soon.
