That priest looks stoked

Ahhh ok yeah that makes more sense then. I thought I saw something saying discount for YTTV for like $600 or something was like wtf. The 22 camera thing sounds like the F1TV feature which is pretty cool.

Lyon is BIS. It's where all their best chefs come from historically. Also they take a really relaxed approach to dining and are aggressively unpretentious about it. Almost reactionary to Parisians.

Lyon has what's called bouchons which are the equivalent of pubs but imagine the French take on pub food. It still fits the bill, strategically designed to optimize booze consumption and sports watching, but French so it's hella flavorful and rich. Fair warning Lyonnaise people get loud af in bouchons and red faced, hammered dudes will trip all over you. Love that city.

Uhh am I crazy or did like every game I play go straight into where I last played (not checkpoint, not menu) with the feature? Non 1st party too. Maybe I just didn't pay attention, but I do feel like games like Star Wars Survivor and FFXVI just went straight back to whatever random place I was in the game.

That's an incredibly stupid idea to drop that feature. The video in the article says no one used this but uhhhhhhh anyone playing a PS5 game would be using it no? They may not realize it but wow losing it kinda really sucks.

Doesn't it cost something ridiculous like $2000/yr to be able to watch every NFL game? It's crazy because it's nowhere near as entertaining as CFB anyway lol.

I thought $80/yr was a lot to see every F1 race but it also includes live telemetry, cockpit cams, and team radios you can bounce between during every event. As well as two different commentary streams, every past race, and loads of post race commentaries and docs. I can't imagine spending any more on it though.

The US government moreso than NASA as funding for them as been an easy punching bag for both political parties lately.

The other thing is optics. NASA isn't allowed to blow up 20 rockets on their designs. They only get one chance to get it right. That's why the SLS has only 1 launch and is 1/1 as opposed to the SpaceX Dragon and Starship can just throw money at them until they work.

Not saying one way is better than the other, just that NASA has to fight not to make the front page because 9/10 it means they made a mistake which costs them more funding. IMO all of this is going to come up to a very slow pace akin to NASA when we start with crewed missions (SpaceX Starship will be mission controlled by NASA as well). They super don't fuck around with crewed launches, especially after the botched Boeing Space launch. And a crew launch failure affects everyone SpaceX and NASA alike.

Everyone in here like yay truck bad, I don't give a fuck about Teslas what's fucked is goddamn insurance companies can just arbitraryly drop your coverage for no fault of your own. It should be illegal. Like sorry but you agreed to cover this, with all its flaws and took my money for years.

I really wish car/home/health insurance were just federalized. These companies are the oldest con perpetrated on the general public tbh.

I just got it on sale ($15 off on Uplay) and I gotta say I'm rather confused why it isn't more popular. It's not perfect, and combat is a little simple, but it's exceptionally well written, the mini games are legit fun, and the world feels really fleshed out and authentic and the music is outstanding. The main theme sounds like a modern take on Williams it's crazy good.

Tbh I haven't even noticed the "AI" generated stuff it's no different than procedurally generated content if not even more well weaved in the game. I dunno it's just fun for me. Just change the settings to all hard and disable the assists and suggestions.

I literally went through this pyramid while standing in the LEGO store a couple years ago. Was like, yeah you know what, this will bring me a lot of joy for years both building it and looking at it. Also it was right after it came back in sale and they were $1000 on eBay. So I was like yeah I need to buy it now! So yeah anyway I spent $800 on a LEGO set lmao
