- Comment on The End of Ownership. Sony’s announcement has fans worried they might never truly own their beloved games. 1 hour ago:
Im sorry if this sounds cold, because I agree with you, but I feel like it would take ALOT to ever get something like this off the ground let alone profitable enough to make sure it survives. It would take a massive injection of money by the biggest companies to create something that people would even look twice at sadly.
The closest thing to what you are proposing would be the failed OUYA console back in like 2013. It didnt invest in physical media, but it did want a store where indie developers can market exclusive games with the same hopes you had where it would get big enough to gain the attention of bigger companies. I invested in the kickstarter and had one, it was cool but needed a lot of work and fizzled out when it became clear that they were not going to make money off that model as there were not enough quality games being made to keep it afloat. On top of this the handful of really good games just ended up being ported to Steam, Switch, and even PS or Xbox which meant why bother at all buying it on OUYA. I think the biggest successful game that they had first was Towerfall.

It was definitely a talking point for a bit. It was looked into and proven incorrect. It was most likely always a lie to further discourage people on the fence from giving up gas cars. I’m sure it had an impact on some people out there so it probably worked.

6, but if i was a kid i probably would pick something 17-24. On another topic idk if anyones had #6 lately but shrinkflation hit this HARD over the past 10 years…

This game just finished? Guess I should revisit, it’s been years. I thought it released a while ago.
- Comment on Interesting bathroom design 2 days ago:
If I do go through with it I will be informing people it is a number 1 toilet only! I used to host poker games and the basement was the best spot. The only problem was no bathroom so they would go upstairs and risk waking my wife and now kids by doing so. I wanted it for that convenience basically and also for myself when I hang out down there. Definitely do not want it to be for number 2’s for the reasons you stated. If you need to do that then upstairs it is!
- Comment on Interesting bathroom design 2 days ago:
My friend had something like this in his basement and it was hilarous. That was like 20 years ago. Now today I was looking at possibly having a small bathroom put in our basement and realized exactly why it was built like that for the first time! You cant have the toilet lower than the sewage pipes, otherwise you need to put in a pump system which if it fails at some point could mean more issues. So they probably used the height to avoid needing that.
- Comment on How does a teenager learn to "eat out" a women without doing it like a dog at a water bowl? 2 days ago:
As others have said, yes she will most likely communicate with you, but if you are both young then she might also not know this yet either so encourage it. Sometimes its not even talking but she will guide you with how her body moves or her hands as well.
Another nice touch that I havent seen mentioned here is dont forget you have hands and using them will only help more. It doesnt have to be right away, but then start with each hand on each side and gently move them up and down the outside of her legs and work your way up to her chest. After that you can sometimes work one hand and finger into the mix while your still down there, but it’s not necessary all the time and sometimes she may not even want that. Its all about listening.

I also have had issues with catbox that I could not figure out. I believe it’s DNS related and being blocked by the one I use. I tried setting up a local entry on my firewall but that had limited success as well probably due to the multiple IPs used.
- Comment on Explosive Diarrhea Is Surging Across The US Right Now : ScienceAlert 1 week ago:
“Cyclosporiasis is caused by eating food or drinking water contaminated by feces containing the parasite. Historically, people would acquire it outside the United States.
However, of the 190 cases reported to public health authorities between the start of May and the middle of June, 145 involve someone who hasn’t traveled beyond US borders in the last couple of weeks.”
Just say it, the US is a shithole country now so of course we are starting to get awful diseases locally.

Is the risk really that high? I am normally someone who thinks twice about something like this. So far I have survived! Yolo for real.
The other one my wife brought to my attention that I never thought of before her was Thanksgiving dinner with the turkey and it being stuffed with stuffing. She won’t touch it and we make a 2nd no filled turkey batch just for her. Is it really a problem though! No way ill give that up either, there is nothing better.

It’s always hilarious when companies make such incredible burn videos only for them to reverse and become the joke.

You made me look it up since it looked crazy. Im guessing its Lloyd Bridges as everyone here keeps asking? If so the earliest film credits i see would put him at 28. Kind of glad this is not true, i knew old ppl looked old but this one just scared me!

Yeah, for me we have always got Costco Kirkland brand red cups which seem to be made by Chinet. 240 cups and used to be under $10 bucks was by far the best deal and the cups were just as good.

I think a wishbone documentary dropped not to long ago, maybe that was what was playing?
- Comment on “Gaming is becoming unaffordable” — Xbox CEO says the industry has an accessibility crisis 2 weeks ago:
I was going to say, my PC is only 3 years old but from what I noticed is if you had an above average GPU from the past 6 years then you are absolutely still ok to play a lot of stuff from today just fine. I dont think thats really going to change much for a while either as cards have turned to faking pixels over trying to achieve higher performance gains so progress is a bit slower in that area.

To be fair, it was fucked up before him. He just spent 14 million to not fix it at all and pay his friends to paint it which was never needed and made the problem worse.

- Comment on Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI will officially begin on June 25 3 weeks ago:
It depends, there are plenty of trailers that show legit gameplay, or story from the actual games. If its legit and put together cinematically then im ok with it. I normally dont like straight gameplay videos since I really cant watch someone play a game and find it interesting for long. Its probably why i dont understand how people watch people play games lol, but its also not my generation either. For me the ultimate trailer experience is something original like Metal Gear Solid.

Nah, im good. No new trailer either kinda stinks. Hopefully something new drops soon.

- Comment on Was starting to run low on the essentials 3 weeks ago:
Is that a 375ml bottle? That one is the 2nd worst priced bottle to buy next to the 1 liter bottle. Idk why they price them so awful but they do. Best priced is 1.75 liter then 750ml followed by the pint bottle which is the first bottle pictured here i believe. Source, worked in liquor store for 3 years.
- Comment on Sorry, honey 3 weeks ago:
My friday and saturday nights… except we dont even go out, its just us settling down in the living room and put on a movie. She gets comfortable and boom out in 10 min. Wakes up 2 hours later says im tired and goes tp bed. Sometimes the next morning things happen, but im really not a morning person so its fine but never as good as night. I also smoke which makes it 1000 times better and thats also only at night which is probably the real reason it’s that much better haha.

They probably will. We live in the generation where every other game is basically a remake or a remaster these days. Its not a bad thing, but its starting to become overwhelming when where not seeing as many new games being released.

I had the same thoughts. He should be out but of course they missed when he threw Brunson to the floor, how convienent. Knicks just went through 3 teams and actually played basketball, now the refs are trying their hardest to make this series drawn out with missing big calls on one side and not the other. When the Spurs actually had the audacity to tell the refs why did you call that a foul we been doing this the entire game i had to laugh. Right off the top of my head yesterdays game had a missed goal tend and an out of bounds wrong call. Anyway yeah everything ive seen of him screams bully so far, and he is supposed to be the next big role model?
Despite all that (and a terrible shot % from the knicks) they still won! Not much comes close to how incredible last nights game was. My one friend who is a die hard fan said that may be the single best game hes ever seen.
