It’s crazy how many cool local arcades exist on the West Coast of the US.
I lived in the East Coast and they’re all shitty chains like Dave and Busters, selling you $20 microwaved chicken wings and watered down beer, while charging you $3.42 in D&B Fake bucks to play Mortal Kombat 3.
While West Coast, you spend $10 to play hundreds of SNES games and they give you a bowl of Fruit loops and milk so you can relieve your childhood.
Like the McRib and chlamydia, we’re back baby!
I think they have been. But they’re not reporting it to avoid copycats.
There was a large number of police shootings in my state when one guy opened fire on a state trooper. Then we were hearing stories every week.
So I’m supposed to believe groups of people with masks running up to folks and grabbing them haven’t been getting retaliation back?
Not disagreeing. The issues that come with it:
1 - Not many people will install it because you have to disable default security features. Android gives a huge “Your device is insecure” scary message.
2 - Then you’ll get the people who will use this for malicious reasons. Even the app store gets copycats that do nothing but steal information.
Johnathan Blow comes to mind.
Peter Molyneux is still top tier delusional, and has a lot of incredible popcorn material.
I don’t know the drama completely, but the Star Citizen folks. Don’t have any names to rattle off.
Because they’re invisible now.
We sent reporters over there and now those reporters are threatened against speaking up.
I hate that you were down voted but you are absolutely correct.
There’s no agreed definition of indie.
Back when I worked marketing and would attend GDC conferences, there were awards for “Indies” that had 30 people teams financed by major companies, competing against 1-2 people teams who took a loan against their house.
It’s stupid and frustrating.
And now, with Dave the Diver, it’s just highlighting the truth - Its always been a vibe, a aesthetic. You just have to make it look indie, and call it that.
Whatever definition you hold personally doesn’t matter.
We have a list of phases in our chat bot that will cause the bot to flag the message.
You can let a human know. Or you can set up automation to disconnect the customer.
I won’t say what we do.
I stopped watching John Oliver because it just gets my blood level up. He just goes out, highlights a critical failure of society, and then we all nod, nothing changes, and now I fucking hate loans or whatever the topic is.
But Ill watch this. Impossible for me to get even angrier at Facebook boomers.
I’m sorry. That was my fault.
Trump, Israel, and Iran sent me a text message asking for me to thumbs up or thumbs down the attack and I was asleep after playing Monster Hunter Wilds.
It’s absolutely the best time to be a grifter.
Say a few magic words like “Daddy is coming.” And “That’ll trigger the libs”. Wear a MAGA hat. Go on social media to create pure outrage porn like, “Look at how we used to live before OBAMA.”
Then sell expired aspirin for 10x the price and buy a farm.
Ah thank you! today I learned. Also learned that I’m part of the inferior fwd race.
30yo kind of have their lives together.
Have a coffee. Just chat like people. Expand your network. The worse that can happen is you shut it down.
From my own perspective, there will be a generational gap. I’m 40, and I can connect with someone around that age. But lower than 30 or older than 45, the connection is platonic.
The worst part, the demo was actually pretty good.
They literally could have released this game with mod support, and sold it for $20 and it would have been a fun party game.
Instead, they kept going on with BS games as a service.
I’m all for this.
Can’t solve the fentanyl crisis without knowing what it is, right?
These ugly things need to be in “tow mode”?
I was going to say what a stupid idea, but that’s just the tip of the stupid ice berg.
I’m going to go against the grain and suggest finding people with like-minded life situations.
I had a friend who has a divorce at age 40. I did all I could as a friend, provide sympathy, check in. But he was extremely miserable, or just downright offensive.
Dating is hard at that age - I get it. I don’t need to hear his opinion about why women of today aren’t what he wants in every conversation.
I also cannot play his wingman. No, I’m not going to “pretend” to flirt with girls at a bar with him when I’m married.
But it became offensive. Like my niece turned into an adult and he asked: “Is she looking for a man?” Dude, you’re twenty years older. WTF.
Joke or not, as a married man, that’s not where I am in life. And yeah, I absolutely stopped hanging out with him because this version of him is hard to deal with.
brand new X-wing or lightsaber or landspeeder isn’t all that different from one that was built 50 or even 100s of years ago.
If you want to get extremely weird… The Old Republic takes place 3600 years before the original trilogy.
Tech is mostly the same.
Compared to 3600 years in reality, we went from pooping in a hole to pooping into a magic toilet that sings you songs while spraying you with water.
Or… Here me out, don’t do that.
By giving them money, from their perspective, you’ve accepted their t&c. If they get data or not, that’s just icing on the cake.
This is actually a great idea.
Cops ticketing random people? Put on your ICE uniform and watch them wave you by.
Huge line of people at a restaurant? Put on your ICE uniform and watch the line separate.
Gotta take a dump? Put on your ICE uniform and shit on the floor.
