The games I've most enjoyed playing are $10 to $30 one off Indies. Cost of production does not equal quality. It's a bunch of people making things more complicated than they have to be to convince the studios paying them that their jobs are worth paying for.

Why should I play a AAA game when I can fully immerse myself in post apocalyptic space using keyboard controls to explore space derelicts for resources?
The most fun I've had in years with a new game was Inscryption. Still recommended to this day.

I have been staring at this video trying to figure out why she is smiling as she runs after him and trying to take his hat. Like it's some kind of game or courtship ritual. I guess hat guy also sees this as a game (he seems to be rather young so let's go easy on him), but if what lib-lady says about her beliefs concerning the hat is authentic, why the smile? Shouldn't she have an angry expression?

The answer seems to be that lib-lady is "playing a character". I'm not saying the video is fake, rather that our culture has become so performative that lib-lady wouldn't even be able to give you an honest answer on why she did this. It's just "what you do". Brain on complete autopilot, merely reacting to stimuli, but her mind seems to be able to evaluate the situation she is in and deems it as... funny.

I think this is pretty horrifying, personally.

Assetto Corsa is still the best 5 bucks I've ever spent. Granted it's not new nor was it when I bought it, but eeeh.

Ohh and Rimworld is lit too

evil women smile the most when they're about to get away with something they know would get a man thrown in jail. only the most disordered of women are ignorant of social boundaries and how much they're able to bend them

This is true, in her head, the people recording were capturing the moment she took down an evil racist. In her head, the laughs were at the expense of her beating up a nazi. In her head, this is her BRAVE TRUE PATRIOT STARTS GOFUNDME moment that lefties endlessly wait to come around.
 
I've had many a good night in Hoboken. Is it really a similar size to Gaza? Hoboken is like 15 blocks north to south, give or take.
Man, I haven't gone back to Hoboken since they closed Maxwell's. No point. *sigh*

Honestly for the past 10-15 years I've played nothing except Alien Isolation, Bioshock 1 and 2, Mad Max, and anything Resident Evil. And ALL of those I got from humble bundles so I paid like $5 a piece when you do the math. I see no point to paying any AAA studio for anything they put out.
 
I paid $30 bucks for a game named Satisfactory and have got at least 3000 hours out of it.
The game unironically has the most accurate name in gaming history. It's so much fun to play. They managed to take what boils down to "Factorio but 3D" and make it unique, entertaining and addictive as hell.

At least alien isolation was decent AF. NGL it's almost the resident evil 4 of that generation of gaming.

Here buy some copies for you and your extended family.
 
The Democrats have never polled this bad in decades and yet the only response they have is to triple down on everything. Losing the election in a landslide wasn't enough for them, they apparently want a complete wipe out in the mid-terms too.

I know they cannot admit fault but fuck son, how deep a hole are you going to dig?
NGL I really don't want them to figure it out before the midterms. At this rate I expect them to lose nearly all the seats up for election for the midterms, then most of the seats up for election in 2028 of they still can't course correct. Then the Republicans split between the Rinos, true Republicans, and the 90's-Democrats-in-a-trenchcoat like Trump.

I am curious how she will react to her 15 minutes of fame. Will she slink back into the crowd, humiliated and embarrassed? Will CNN have her on a segment, where she cries about how she was abused and battered by the horrible MAGA Chud? Will she attempt to turn this into some political grift?
 

We live in polarising times, but the left and the right can universally agree that memes about JD Vance's face are fucking hilarious. It's also so fucking refreshing to have a Vice President who's actually okay with people making memes of him. The only other person I can think of who was a good sport about getting clowned on is Al Gore, from being the alleged champion of sensible government that never became President to Matt and Trey making jokes about ManBearPig.

They must run with a black troon as president and loudly proclaim that all money and jobs need to go towards BIPOC! Endless importing of people from the 3rd world!
 
No they're not.
Especially in the khantext of Trump and Elon calling it "domestic terrorism" and then Pam Bondi calling it "domestic terrorism" yet they didn't even charge them with terrorism.

Sort of like what they did isn't defined as actual terrorism (as per the law - which is why I was asking questions about the law when I first asked this question)
Please show me where in the Alien Enemies Act it says a charge of terrorism is required.
