Guarantee you we blow more money on missiles for other countries to commit genocide with.

Fuck these assholes and fuck everyone who votes for them.

This is mainly why I quit. And it especially used to piss me off cause it'll still demand you put in the disc to play even though the whole fucking thing installed and downloaded patches larger than the game. Might as well be all digital with oversize hard drives and be lazy with swapping games. I know still having to put a disc in for a fully installed game is a long time PC thing, but it really frustrated me.

I also went more Steam and cheaper sale games or key sites. Saw a game for like $3 on Steam and $30 on PSN too many times.

Aside from a few PS4/PS5 games I love or are rare, I'm only really physically keeping older stuff and have actually been playing a lot of older stuff.

That's not how this works in c/nottheonion@lemmy.world

I don't think so, but I do know there have been Congressional attempts in the past. There was an attempt to get rid of the Fed Board back in the 2000s.

It's been obvious since the 2008 election that we never actually improved. People just sort of hid it for a while, but it was always there and it's all out in the open now. We're the shithole country.

Deputies?

I have a hard time believing anything a cop says anymore ever.

Does going gold mean anything anymore? Nearly every major game is garbage at release and needs tons of patches and fixes.

Metal Gear Rising is seriously overrated in c/games@lemmy.world

It's not what we should have gotten in terms of Metal Gear story. In terms of a solid game with good gameplay and a decent story, it's fantastic. Not every game needs to be open world, require 200 hours, or be live service.

Morons. AoE3 is amazing and gets shit on for no good reasons. AoE1 is exactly what not aging well looks like coupled with a shitty re-release. I've always felt AoE2 is mega overrated. I have played hundreds of hours of all of the main games and AoM.

Headlines that basically say the same shit twice really are swell.

It's underwhelming and there are better options, and it'll sell like crazy because people are basic.
