The bigger criticism against Rockstar is as they swing for the fences they’re building the framework to effectively heard western children in like cattle so they can milk them for a generation using their online service.
I can’t wait for the collaboration with Fannie Mae where your 26 percent interest rate comes with 50000 shark card points.
Rdr2 was insane. Red dead online was a massive dud. The single player game was amazing, the scope was massive and they delivered in a great way. But yes it failed big time for them. But I still love it. And gta has delivered consistently. As soon as I see a major dud I’ll call them on it, but they just haven’t missed.
Rockstar has delivered consistently and set new standards far more than Bethesda. I love Bethesda but I’ve learned over the years that you can’t trust Todd. I held off on starfield and was right. I got bamboozled by fallout 76.
You can disagree with certain decisions by Rockstar but you can’t deny the track record. They get it done.
You’re right we don’t have the full picture but after 30 years of gaming hype I can tell you theyre shooting for the moon here. And if any developer will successfully stick the landing it’s Rockstar.
Who knows how they will approach this. It’s clear they’re going to an even higher level of detail and a more living world. It appears to be a move to up things to the next level which is exactly what we have gotten with basically every gta game.
All I know for sure is my graphics card just committed suicide after watching this trailer
Starfield is just a mess. I think Todd assumed he could ride the Skyrim goodwill into the sunset with his subsequent games because he’s consistently failed to deliver since then. I love the jank of a good Bethesda game because at its heart you have a true rpg that lets you roam and complete quests how you see fit. Starfield removed the roaming and the exploration and left some very mediocre storytelling and quests in its wake. Without that magic you’re just left with increasingly awful jank that can’t be ignored.
Thank god for Xbox game pass, I was only out about 15 dollars and was able to try the game without committing 70 dollars.
One of the wrestlers reported that he called him in tears begging him to lie about the sex abuse he experienced/ witnessed.
He’s a complete piece of shit and the fact that we are suggesting he be one of the people in line for the presidency is a travesty.
I’d rather see the country shut down for months than give this man one more inch of power.
Maybe he should try calling them and crying on the phone like a bitch that covers up sex crimes.
Absolutely true. The discussion was more about which resources and financial benefit would be best for the people in the room.
Maybe not in every one of the rooms. But the one that mattered, you better Fucking believe.

The narrative that is being sold is that there’s mass theft of items, you know the videos of people trying to roll with like a shopping cart full of shit. While that shit no doubt does happen, it’s just not a daily thing across the country and there’s no question that it’s hardly as if these corps can’t eat that cost easily.
Convince people there’s total lawlessness, scare them into voting for ‘tough on crime’ legislators that are bought and paid for, use the illusion of mass anarchy and free for all shoplifting to gut low performing stores and not have the bad press of all those layoffs, rinse, repeat.
The only good thing about target is you’re paying more money for a worse selection but you don’t have to look at the people that typically shop at Walmart. That’s it.
Don’t get me wrong I’m glad all these traitors are speaking up about king traitor but I can’t help but feel like they all should be held accountable and not celebrated. It’s not like trump was some saint going into his presidency and we suddenly found out it was all a ruse. He literally has just been himself from day one. So these people willingly signed up to back a wannabe dictator and we are to believe they had a ‘ crisis of conscience’ and are now speaking out? Fuck that. These bottom feeders hitched their wagon to a losing party and now that it suits them they’re going full #metoo like we aren’t aware they supported and enabled all of it.
Fuck her, fuck trump, they all need to be behind bars for getting us here. Send a clear message that Hitler wasn’t the only Nazi and just because they took off their Hugo boss uniforms and stopped goose stepping doesn’t mean they’re forgiven for their crimes.
They’re just angling for the next con, trying to find a slightly more intelligent fascist to hitch their wagon to while they destroy the country. All of them should pay.
It’s Hollywood. Think about how we now know like every major rockstar from the 70s thru the 90s was openly having sex with teenagers. Now look at what we have uncovered about the rape based economy of movies and tv. These guys were raping men women and children with impunity for decades. It’s no wonder that their films would reflect that.
Up till now and likely still today, if you wanted to be successful in hollywood you weren’t getting a seat at the table until they got exactly what they wanted. Try to resist and watch as your career went up in flames. Ashley Judd remembers.
It’s not surprising at all that this time period was all just an extension of that. Working child rape into movies was just them expressing themselves.
Just do a deep dive on all the super Fucking uncomfortable 80s and 90s tv shows and movies where it’s totally acceptable for an adult to have a sexual encounter with a child. It’s sold as a gag or the adult ‘ struggles with their urges’ or whatever. Totally normal, haha funny.
Imagine if there were a movie like Leon the professional that featured a gay man or a transgender person. The world would lose its mind and string up the director for child abuse.
I’m in full support of lgbt characters that are ‘normalized’ and treated like everyone else. It’s such a non issue it’s crazy to me that it’s even a concern in anyone’s mind.
Would anyone like to run a statistical analysis of the number of gay characters that have been present in Disney movies, or really movies in general?
They’re forcing gay characters on us! Help I’m being oppressed! Chill the Fuck out and watch literally 99 percent of all movies that have ever been made if you’re worried about being underrepresented.
Let’s sit down and watch all of the movies that feature a white savior ‘knowing what’s best’ for poor and minority characters. Look at their unbridled altruism! They don’t have to associate with those pesky poors but they choose to do it on account of their saintliness! Get the fuck outta here.
The book is no doubt banned for causing CEOs to feel bad. Certainly can’t have that.
The problem is that it’s extremely difficult to tease out what the impact is when pretty much everyone is exposed to it and has it in their system. Are there connections between these chemicals and autism or cancer? We are just starting to see the preliminary data on the subject.
For me it’s a matter of not being interested in waiting to find out 30 years down the road. My personal belief is that there is no such thing as food safe plastic and especially not when it’s heated or stored for long periods. I believe that there is and will continue to be a concerted effort to downplay any uncovered impact and to ensure till the last second that no steps are taken to regulate the billion dollar plastics/ manufacturing industry. The spice must flow just as the plastics must flow.
Maybe that’s a bit too far in the conspiracy theory vein but name a more iconic duo than large corporations and covering up known flaws and risks for the sake of profit. If nothing else I do not think you lose anything by shifting to glass and certain metals for cooking and storing food. And steps have to be taken to minimize exposure to food packaging that is sprayed with pfas. Looking at you, literally all fast food packaging.
Couple these revelations with what we know about hyper processed foods and it’s no wonder why so many Americans are dumb as Fuck and have so many health problems. We are being poisoned because of our insistence on convenience. We literally have great options for all of these things that are more sustainable and less toxic but we still can’t be inconvenienced by a paper wrapper on a hamburger that might end up a little wet on the ride home.
Of course even with all these steps there’s only so much one can do when you’re literally inhaling plastic from the atmosphere. But it’s certainly a move in the right direction.
The fact that this gets media coverage like it even remotely matters is madness. Will there be media coverage of my posts on the topic, since it’s suddenly world news when a private American citizen comments on what is happening in another country…
It’s only an estimate. It’s closer to only 20 percent not producing antibodies. Some percentage of that is people having immuno compromise and not developing humeral immunity even though they’ve likely been exposed. Then there’s testing failure. None of these tests are 100 percent sensitive.
I do believe though like what. Ten to fifteen percent of people have isolated for three years and not gotten it. I’d buy that for sure. And there are a lot of places where you just don’t encounter people often. People that naturally were distanced from others just sort of…kept doing what they were doing.
This is just multiple ways of saying what I said. Outside of some extreme outliers every person has come in contact with the virus. But that doesn’t always translate to extreme illness or even mild illness. As you said some people are naturally resistant or have other means of a defense that doesn’t lead to a significant illness after exposure.
So really the more accurate thing to say is that you never got sick from your covid exposure. Again you have to divide this further into those who genuinely have never had cold like symptoms since 2023 and those who are just in denial about it. I’ve come across a few people who proudly claim they’ve never had it but have shown up to work coughing and hacking. Lol sure you haven’t.
Nobody mentioned the finals. Free to play fps competitive shooter with teams of 3. It’s been crazy addictive for my friends and I. If you like fast paced hectic fps games it’s loads of fun.
