This is the kind of shit that makes Idiocracy the most weirdly prophetic movie I’ve ever seen.

I used to do those all the time as a teenager. Weird how that shit scares me now. Good luck, have fun!

Olli olli world is great fun. I highly recommend giving it a shot. I hope the devs from these studios find a new employer who values their creativity.

A thousand times yes. We require those degrees to do so many far less critical jobs. It’s unreal how completely opposite this is for LEOs.

Even in their heyday I cringed a little. I can’t really describe why, but I never liked them much. Meanwhile my friends LOOOOOOVED these guys. This was at a time where Korn, Mudvayne, AFI, Tupac, Biggie, Wutang, etc., were all in my regular rotation. By all accounts this heavy rock and rap fusion should have resonated with me, but it kind of had the opposite effect. 311 did it earlier and better IMO.

As is tradition. How many times must this happen before we start holding cops accountable for their actions? How can you uphold the law while standing on top of it and pissing all over it?

Its like you read my mind. Where’s the other FOSS peeps at?

Yeah, I could have worded that better.

I suppose I have accepted it as just the way it is and will be, which is a shame, but I don’t buy their products either. I would love to play the new God of War, but I don’t need to that badly. There’s plenty of other great games out there without this bullshit which I would rather support

If my family is in the jaws of the machine, I might still be scared. I get you though. It makes me angry and I’m sure it makes you angry. We should be. At some point push comes to shove and people in these positions must make sacrifices or we all suffer the consequences. It’s a difficult position, and I don’t envy the judge or anyone else in a similar one.

As you should, good job. I guess I failed to elaborate - I think unfortunately it will still sell very well, as has been demonstrated by other companies doing this. I don’t expect Sony to stop, they had the opportunity, are doubling down, and it does suck. I guess I have a hard time being outraged when really it’s nothing new. Same shit, different company.

Thats easy to say. Look how many other people have already bowed over due to threats of violence from these lunatics.

I think you guys all missed the implication that I think EA and Ubisoft games suck. Why am I buying games that suck?

This is annoying in a way, but really, how is this any different than buying an EA or Ubisoft game on steam? I mean, besides that it’s actually a good game. This bullshit has been normalized for awhile and isn’t a surprise.

This is how you find out your ass is more well spoken than Trump

This is exactly the conversation I was hoping to see in these comments

For starters there’s more than one floor in my house, so the trade offs of punching holes in my roof are only beneficial to a small portion of the house.

The next is the overall costs. Windows that are sealed properly and insulate as well as a solid roof are fucking expensive as hell. This is a luxury feature when building a home and most of us are not making luxury money.

My last thought is control over the lighting. Again, its more costly to install motorized shading (because otherwise you need a long awkward pole or some other weird system) for when you don’t want a beam of light blinding you for various reasons. Glare on a tv is an obvious example. Maintenance on these systems is a pain in the ass compared to changing a light bulb, and these days you can just get LED lighting that lasts for years and never requires a bulb change for relatively cheap.

Actually another thought related to the shade controls is privacy. Depending on how tall neighboring buildings are you may not want the neighbors just peering in, so again you need shade controls. It’s situational, and not everyone is in a situation where this wouldn’t be a problem.

Edit: Another thought is cleaning. I’m not climbing up on the roof to clean those and it’ll look like shit after awhile if I don’t. If there’s surrounding trees dropping leaves this will be a more frequent issue

I played the ever living shit out of Tricky. Nothing hit quite the same after that. I was so excited for the 2012 reboot but it was just ok. I actually hated the rewind power, it felt like cheating, and otherwise it just felt like the attitude changed. It was serious instead of over the top fun. In the age of remastering all the classics EA has made a major miss by ignoring Tricky.

They remastered some Katamari games on Steam. They’re still very weird and fun.

Get angry and boot these fucks out of the boat. Voting doesnt work but open revolt might.

Volume is high but bandwidth sure isnt. Every time I turn the playstation on their network is slow as dirt. Just browsing the store is difficult because it struggles so much to load images for the games, and making an actual purchase is often a dice roll for whether it will process correctly. Honestly cant fathom paying to play online with the state its in, and its been this way for nearly a decade.
