Yes. Just FYI: All three have free “freeze” option, hidden somewhere (probably thanks to federal law). They also have very similar paid option, which they heavily advertise; That’s not the one. They do all require free accounts, but probably worth it to be able to freeze/unfreeze instantly online.
I just received “dark web” alert about SSN, phone, name, and email… that I only used at AT&T many years ago. So AT&T has definitely leaked our data as well. Add 'em to the list…

I hate ads, but these were beautifully done. And effective: I do indeed feel the need for some very long Sakeru Gummy candy. I wonder over how long these originally played out in Japan. Bravo.

(And will sell millions more when finally available on something besides PlayStation.)
- Comment on Why do all the new TVs expect me to have a platform AS WIDE as the fucking thing?? Fucking shit!! God awful absolutely dumb thoughtless design choice 7 months ago:
Exactly. I think an aftermarket VESA mount is pretty much required these days for modern TVs, that’s the bad news. The good news is that there are plenty of options (center base, wall, swivel, etc), some very affordable, and they should last for multiple TV generations (check VESA pattern, weight limits).
But I get that these tiny, wide feet can be mind boggling at first, since TVs all used to have center stands for decades. Finally, TVs got too large, the cost savings and stability from two tiny feet won out over the alternative of the large, heavy single center base.
- Comment on Rockstar Games regarding Grand Theft Auto VI 7 months ago:
My thoughts exactly. However, it excites me that Rockstar still managed to make RDR2, and it was a masterpiece. Even so, I never played “Online” MP mode, nor have I ever played GTA’s, and I hope they noticed, lol.
- Comment on Sean Strickland says quiet part out loud on UFC fighter pay, implies UFC censored him 8 months ago:
I wish these guys had the courage to unionize. It would drastically improve their pay. The highest paid stars need to lead and support the effort. Fuck Dana and co, they know it’s inevitable, probably just pleasantly surprised it’s taking so long. Happy to see Francis Ngannou free and doing well.
- Comment on Cyberpunk patch 2.02 now available 8 months ago:
The patch notes are just super-detailed, no need to worry about game-breaking bugs IMO. Finished once on 1.63, then added PL and 2.1 and finished all at 100%. No infuriating bugs, 4-5 clean crashes to desktop.
It’s probably the best game I’ve ever played, honestly. Incredible work that is now well-polished, even 2.0. First 20-40 hours felt a bit underwhelming, but by the end I was blown away. And 2.0 adds a lot of fun. At almost 250+ hours now, new game and choices, still wanting to play every day.
- Comment on I'm so glad I waited nearly 3 years to play Cyberpunk 2077, but I dread the fact that this is our new normal 9 months ago:
Very nice summary, thanks. I just recently started CP77, about 30 hours in now. My notes: The story and writing seems mostly excellent. (But not near the magic and masterpiece of Witcher 3.) Feeling that development was chaotic (pieces cut, rearranged, “montage” with Jackie was jarring.). World seems quite empty, soulless, few “layers”, unpolished. Car controls are not great, very “floaty”. Literally zero encounters with NCPD yet (lol). Bugs still apparent (floating cars, missing items), but nothing game-breaking. Graphics quite underwhelming (mostly very high settings at QHD 2K, but not able to use HDR or ray-tracing).
