Without diving tooo much into it, I'm pretty sure the main reason is he doesn't want government regulation around the games industry.

The most generous summary of his better points would be that it is not always feasible to leave a game in a playable state since server architecture might not allow for that. Semi fair since the games industry has gotten to a point where some of these games may be using code contracted from a third party making releasing the binaries difficult from a licensing perspective.

However he seems to have taken playable as 'designed for single player'. Using the hypothetical of MMOs needing to be rebalanced around a single player experience. He extended this to a game Meet Your Maker which is reliant on other real players for the experience and saying there is no way to leave that 'playable.

As a note, Stop Killing Games is NOT asking for any rebalancing to be done and this is an entirely fabricated complaint.

Yeah, the tone I am seeing in conservative spaces about this has shifting to the gunman being a CIA operative to smeer conservatives.

Giving away 200 billion dollars means having 200 billion dollars. Bill Gates might be one of the 'better billionaires, but just the act of hoarding that much capital is harmful, let alone the method used to obtain it.

Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.

Most of my picks have been mentioned already, but I had a blast with Mullet Madjack. A tongue in cheek riff on 80s anime in a boomer shooter where you have 10 seconds to live, but each enemy kill gives you 2 more seconds of life.

You can, apparently a decent portion of the population can't.

Find your kickflip.

Those programs do have an effect on pricing. Not 1 to 1 with the cost subsidization and even if it does there's plenty of arguments to keep programs like that around.

However I'd rather see moves made to encourage positive behaviors, like purchasing an electric vehicle, that didn't translate into a dealership subsidy.

Look, I don't appreciate being called out this hard.

Yeah, this is my issue with the government incentives for EVs, especially now that they are more common and can be deducted from the sale price. Most retailers are just jacking up the price to whatever the cap for the rebate is while pretending it's still a good deal.

I would like to believe not that the worst happens to the USA, because of the damage that could do globally. But, I do hope that if Trump tried to take Greenland unprovoked that the citizens would not stand for it.

A hope that is quickly dwindling...

This is the stupidest thing ever. If he really wants a 51st state then Puerto Rico is right there and wants to gain statehood.

I don't see how he could. Too many people in the U.S. like Canada, the domestic support would be near nill.

Maybe if he had 6-10 more years to drum up support.

Whoa, I dislike iPhones for plenty of reasons, but the cameras are consistently among the best. Maybe not spec wise, and you can complain about post processing all you want. But to an average user that's just clicking the shutter they turn out great.

ATARASHII GAKKO! My uncle told me to check them out and I've like them a lot.
