when you say "living as you'd like to be" are you ignoring the effects other people can have on your life? i.e. you need to drink water and only get it from an underground well/river/whatever, but that can be poisoned by another party

Respectfully, does Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia think real power is with the people or the White House?

Reread what I wrote. We were talking about Mario Kart Wii vs. World

Also conveniently ignoring the $60 Xbox 360 games

Toys R Us closed in 2018, basically 5 years after the Xbox One came out. So they continued to operate for like 20-30 years after the N64/Genesis flyers despite people not going there.

of course it's greed. Corporations get their pound of flesh regardless. But I'd rather have a traditional Mario Kart that costs more than a F2P Mario Kart where courses are paid DLC, costumes are in the cash shop, and characters are a part of a season pass

Some games might have been, but the $60 has been the norm for a long time.

1. I'm not a Nintendo fan. I hated BOTW.
2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe sold double what Mario Kart Wii sold, not 5x
3. Would you rather a free to play Mario Kart where tracks, characters, vehicles and skins are all a part of a cash shop? Or this? Because those are your only realistic options

Games were $60 for like 20 years. They've also gotten bigger and more ambitious, with more ppl working on them for longer periods of time. I'm all for blaming corporate greed. But if you apples to apples Mario Kart Wii vs. World, you can't ignore reality and just blame greedy corporations

hot take: games probably should've increased prices a long time ago. game price stagnation created microtransactions, free to play, live service, and gacha games. Nintendo games are none of those, so this isn't really surprising

You think KCD2 was less high-profile than Avowed? Seemed to me like KCD2 had a lot more hype than Avowed ever has had.

part of it has to be that as a professional athlete, his job requires him to stay up late sometimes. like they play at 7 PM locally tonight. I wouldn't get to bed until close to 1 if that were me

yeah, if you can't actively smell it, I can't help you. A quick search on Amazon shows Kiddie have a wall plug-in unit, but that's $70. You might be able to call your gas company to send someone out and see if they detect it. Mine (National Grid) legally has to respond quickly (within an hour IIRC).

like natural gas for gas leaks? If you smell it, and are trying to know where it's coming from, soapy water & a spray bottle on the pipes is the cheapest. It'll bubble where the gas is coming from.

If I had Elon levels of money, I'd be buying up land for reforestation and go broke trying to reverse the effects of climate change

Deadpool and Wolverine is a 56 on Metacritic?? I thought people actually liked that movie.

He probably meant 15. I know I bought Metaphor Refantazio on Xbox specifically because it had PA

Writing team really knocked it out of the park this season. I know it sucks, but you should be proud.

What are the chances FF7R supports it if/when it comes to Xbox?

Bungie needs to put the shooter back in looter shooter. Ability spam gameplay is BORING. Between that, double special, and exotic primary power creep, legendary primaries (outside of like 2 hand cannons and a few SMGs) have no place in the current sandbox.

One of my favorite movies, Gary. After listening to you on the KF Xbox pod, and then putting two and two together that you wrote it... mind blown. Thank you

It was a sham, and it was shameful. So call it conduct detrimental to the league, but they should be disciplined.

As a Pats fan, I'm ashamed. I hope they get fined

it's not about how much snow you get. it's about how prepared your local infrastructure is. If you don't have the plows, salt/sand trucks, or the salt/sand, it's going to take longer.

Nah Dylan, don't beat yourself up on this one. It was (IIRC) a Sunday night during a period when the studio is closed. Literally no action was going to be taken before the end of the event. Saying "heard" makes it feel just that: heard.

Considering everything that happened with backwards compatibility, that seems like a licensing nightmare. I'd love for MS to pull it off, but I'm not holding my breath.

it's not just sports too. Look into Counter-Strike skins betting. There's been Roblox gambling scandals. Yes, the normalization of gambling in sports is the biggest factor. But your kids aren't immune to it even if they don't watch sports at all.

Compared to 2 weeks ago? Not much has changed in-game. But the bugs keep adding up, and Bungie gave timelines for certain fixes that are just unacceptable

Or, and here me out here, MAYBE firing the entire internal QA team and a shit ton of other people, and then outsourcing their work made the process longer MAYBE. I dunno, I'm not an expert.

I'm aware. Still not gonna stop me from making petty jokes about it. He should make Austin review it, considering all the other MMO/live service reviews he's done the past year.

Yeah but where's the Final Shape review, ShillUp?
