That's dirty. If the company is deciding that you can't stay around long enough to vest those stocks, they should pay them out. There should never be a reward for dumping people.

But then I'd have to buy a gaming PC.

I don't have a game right now. I spent the weekend searching Gamepass and testing out some games I wouldn't have bought blindly, trying to find my next obsession.

None have grabbed me yet. DOOM Middle Ages was starting to get fun but it kept crashing on me. Sorry developer's, if your game doesn't get my attention in the first ten minutes, you never deserved my money, but if I find the game on Gamepass and enjoy it, I tend to let others know.

Right? I feel bad that it's beautiful outside and we're all inside playing games and streaming TV, but every time we leave the house as a family, it ends up costing me at least $100.

Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn't have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?

I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he'd make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.

Honestly, you should get the OG Switch.

It does everything you're looking for in the Switch 2, but without most of the downsides.

If you haven't had one already, you have a lot of great games to catch up on, which you could buy with the money you'd save by not buying a Switch 2.

If you haven't already tried Oblivion Remastered, that's a no brainier.

Avowed was pretty straight forward with a decent story. It's more linear than Skyrim, and sometimes I had to reload a save because I walked into a situation I wasn't ready for, but all in all, I made quick consistent progress.

I played both on Gamepass.

Also, there's no shame in turning that difficulty bar down when it's available. I'm in the same boat as you. I don't want to master the game, I just want to enjoy it.

I think a lot of the hate is coming from people who don't understand Roblox. It's just this weird new thing that kids are playing. They said the same kind of things about my Mortal Kombat, D&D, and Magic:tG.

I certainly have my complaints on Roblox, mainly the concept of Robucks and how the community members design games to milk children for their birthday money.

I agree completely.

Did Roblox do anything "unreasonably unsafe?"

If they were selling a monthly PedoPass that gave someone access to the names and addresses of underage members, of course we should shut that shit down, but nearly every other online game has chat options. What makes Roblox less safe than those?

I'm not so sure about this, and I'm not paying to read the rest of the article.

I'm not saying that there aren't predators on Roblox, but is it Roblox's responsibility to teach kids not to talk to strangers?

The part I could read mentioned that they took the conversation to another platform before meeting. Is anyone suing THAT platform? If that's where they made the plans to meet, wouldn't they be more responsible?

I have no love for Roblox, but I don't think they caused this, unless there are other wild details I missed.

To hear the murmur of crime.

 

I've been invited to attend a Tim Walz rally tonight, and I have no idea what to expect. Share your stories and get me pumped up to see our next VP!

Update: Everybody was right, lots of standing and clapping, but what I really didn't expect was the sense of family I felt with all these strangers around me. We'd bump into each other, and laugh it off, one guy was telling me about how his son was thinking about going to the college that I work at (I was still wearing my shirt from work), and we all just knew that we were working together to make great things happen. I'll probably skip the next one, but it was a great experience. I'm glad I went, and would recommend going to one if you have a chance, and a candidate you believe in.
