Great, a lot of times this attitude comes from having not been elsewhere but maybe not with you. I cant personally see any great benefit.other than weather and landmarks but that is just down to size and ability to travel negates it.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 4 days ago:
It is an ingrained attitude seen through statements like “leaders of the freeworld”, “the great american experiment”, “the most powerful person in the world (potus)”, etc.
Americans have too much pride in a shithole country. There just isnt much justifiable pride to be found in modern america yet the leading party over every part of government maintains this greatest countrt ever bs.

A sense of entitlement and superiority I would imagine.

Its only for current members, I cant play games I bought online. I got a PS+ game, stopped my sub, paid for the game and couldnt play.

I want a new phone for a better camera but the costs are so huge now and changes so frequent that I cant justify it to myself and do not want to go a non best in class so I stay with the mid tier ageing shite I have.

I was looking at it more in terms of using free time, not a one to one comparison

Ok well Im not an idiot, I have plenty of comms apps and that one died really quickly presumably because everyone’s experience was as boring and disjointed as mine

Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.

Meh I’d drop 100 plus on standard night out. I dont buy many games but buying God of War Ragnarok for 30 and getting 100 hours of entertainment was well worth it, to the point I regret not buying it full price day one.

Got banned over a star trek mod abusing his power
- Comment on Crocodile Dundee | New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film 3 weeks ago:
Societal pressure if changing a movie after the fact. The creative process is different to post release. It cant be compared.
- Comment on Crocodile Dundee | New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film 3 weeks ago:
Is it under a different name? Is the previous version equally available. Can a consumer make an informed choice about getting the same quality of either version. Are they made aware at purchase it is not the original version?
Art is reflective of its time, be fair shit if they went back and put the snapchat dog filter on Night Fishing at Antibes, more contemporary…cubism is so out.
- Comment on Following the Switch 2 Reveal, Phil Spencer Says Microsoft Is 'Really Looking Forward' to Supporting Nintendo With Xbox Games 3 weeks ago:
Sony could have innovated more, I am switching to PC currently becuase of how boring this generation is. I dislike psn, how they present the homescreen info. Its just shite. XMB all the way, more customisable, more user friendly and more capable…no ads.
- Comment on Crocodile Dundee | New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film 3 weeks ago:
Going back and changing the record on how things were;is the main character’s job in 1984. It might not be as malicious but it is not the right course of action.
- Comment on Crocodile Dundee | New 'Encore Cut' removes footage from original film 3 weeks ago:
Just leave things be, if they have outdated elements put the disclaimer. Dont change things 30 years later, not to be dramatic but that is dystopian.

Just the console works is the brag here? Retro consoles are incredibly popular. Xbox might just suck

Find the regulator for online shopping, make your case send evidence and they can escalate directly with Microsoft.
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20 5 weeks ago:
It could have gone anywhere, the rumour was modern day third to close out the story.
It could have gone to settlements in space, templar industry types creating advanced cities to escape a doomed earth allowing for a cryogenically frozen Desmond to believeably do some of the stunt in space conditions.
Instead they picked random times and shoehorned in a rethread story barely expanding on the lore by walking all over it.

The AC towers were fun and made sense, I never had a problem with it…its the repititions and lack of innovation that is boring.

Would have loved to see the original vision through
- Comment on Star Wars: Outlaws Reportedly Sold Less in 2024 than Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Did – WGB 5 weeks ago:
Is Jedi not considered open world? I get that it has closed off parts and progress gatekeeping but you ae free to ram entirely and travel between planets. Most planets are not linear levels and have other stuff to do.
- Comment on ‘Palworld: Feybreak’ Draws 200,000 Concurrent Players, Now In Steam’s Top 10 1 month ago:
Heey, I have been doing the same. Sick of all of the manufacurers to be fair. I mostly buy the games seocnd hand too because publishers suck, last ones I supported were IOI and if they push always on internet connection in the 007 game I will pirate it.

- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 2 months ago:
Its a shit feeling tbh, I feel the whole industry is sliding in the wrong direction.
I turned on Hitman the other day and midway through a playthrough I got booted for loss of connection. It is a single player game. Finding it harder and harder to have a positive enough view to purchase games.
- Comment on Rumors Of End to Xbox-Only Exclusives Swirl As More Game Studios Embrace Simultaneous Launch Strategy 2 months ago:
Oh man same for ps5, major let down. I let my psn lapse and I am just playing mostly games that were available on ps4, except now I have a shittier looking homescreen.
Still kills that I have a 1gb/s internet and a great TV but the playstation store shows ads in 120p.
- Comment on I don't have a purpose in life and feel like a robot. This cannot be good for my mental health, but I don't know how or what to change. How do I change? 2 months ago:
Upsticks and leave. Whereever you are you can probaly go and do wha you do somewhere else. I would pick a whole other country, you could pick ones that align with your interests like philosophy and cooking - places where there is history or active communities in those spaces.
As for making friends, join clubs. Start running, playing board games, cold water swimmimg, etc.
If you are looking for purpose and you don’t mecessarily care about money you could make a huge impact in charitable works. If you don’t like human contact you could volunteer with animals.
You are at a crossroads in that you feel jilted and stuck but in reality you have nothing keeping you in one place. If you save 70% of your earnings for multiple years you are in a position to just stop working while you figure it out. You are in a position to take a pay cut and find something you enjoy.
I know a few people who were in similar spots and one became a data analyst for a charity - less hours and he can see changes being made by his hand - and the other travels to meet the elderly to record and archive their memories for posterity.
You could do absolutely anything.
