I haven't, but I'm not too worried about it. The football ones are a bigger worry; the game threads were easily the biggest thing I was on Reddit for, and the magic isn't here yet. Part of the issue though is now that I don't get on Reddit or here as much, I'm watching IRL with friends and don't sit on my phone to interact like that lol.
I'm trying to figure out how this saves him or his children in the future. Mind immediately goes to the condo sale to UAE or whoever, but it could be any number of situations with this stupid fuck.
And there really isn't much posting in any of them. It's hard, because I am a fan of smaller NFL and CFB teams, and it's just me posting stuff with no discussion. So it gets to a point you feel like you're being annoying about it. I do Supercross discussion threads for people if they wanna join in, in an admittedly small community (even the Reddit one was like...maybe 200 active users, 30k total subs). I have been the only commenter there for over a year lol.
No, but I didn't want the headache of multiple peripherals, and when you're 15, it's hard to convince a parent to spring for more expensive options out of convenience lol. There were options, but even still, some games didn't come with native controller support (I built my 1st PC in college in...2013? for ESO, and the controller support was through a mod, and it barely worked at the best of times).
Theyve just gotten so similar in their function, it's increasingly hard to justify a console anymore. Microsoft basically forgoing exclusives now only strengthens it
It also helps that consoles are becoming more and more PC-esque and expensive. Consoles were a good alternative because they were cheaper, had exclusive titles, and had the ability to couch game, and usually were just "pop disc in and play". They were also pretty stand-alone devices. My biggest issue with PC gaming prior to really this generation was I cannot stand M+KB, I like sitting back in a chair with a controller. But now, peripherals are more able to operate on multiple platforms, games do cross-platform releases, cross play is more prolific (and cross-saves as of late), and it's easier to switch now and not "lose" your friends. Plus, the cost of consoles anymore are much closer to equivalent PCs now.
Console positives are dwindling, or at least becoming neutral to PC.
In the same breath, they refer to him as a kid making a mistake, to appeal to us. We've all been in somewhat similar situations, making mistakes as kids. And then seconds later, he's a highly trained professional who is well-equipped to manage poring through Treasury docs and deciding where funding is sent or ceased.
What is he? Is he a kid or is he an adult? Be consistent. Fuck everything about this.
For sure, it really helps, as dumb as it sounds. If you truly don't care, you get your choice made for you. If you do care, you find out pretty quick you should be up front about it
Is it something actually meaningful or is it just general choices through your day?
I've turned the meaningless stuff into a game with people I know. If it's just a decision effecting me, I'll text someone and say "pick a number 1-10". I'll assign even or odd to "do x" or "don't do x" and depending on what they pick, my choice is made. If it's a group decision (go to bar, stay in, where to eat, what movie, etc) then I have an app on my phone for "Spin the Wheel" and we spin it to see what choice is made. We "leave it up to fate" now lol.
Also, if you feel really strongly about something but don't want to commit, it can help push you. If I really want to eat somewhere but don't wanna force it, I either have to accept a different choice or make myself do it. Anyone is "allowed" to intervene before the wheel has done to make their choice known.
We also don't do best 2 of 3, or respins. It's ond and done; fate is never wrong.
I had a similar issue with my Civic from the factory. Not to take their side on it, but same issue. Driver side rear light, and the section on the trunk.
I took it as an opportunity to do some work on my own, and replaced all the rear lights (the single replacement OEM light was like $200, and a new set of sequential LED lights was $300 and looked much better). It's not too bad of a job, took me an afternoon cause I'm way overly cautious with stuff. Around the same time frame too; mine is an '18 and I did it in '21 I think.
What about the current president asking for protestors to be shot in the legs? That seems pretty threatening, especially when viewed apolitically. Where are the repercussions for that?
He also called for Israel to "get the war over with" instead of dragging it out. That seems like pretty implicit calls for increased violence. Are there repercussions for that?
There are a hell of a lot of free speech purists until it's something they do not like. A lot of violence being called for, until it's against people they feel do not deserve it. Standards are being applied differently depending on what side you're on. This isn't to say that you do or don't support the president or the things he or his supporters say, but there are clearly 2 different applications of censorship being used. One side has 0 restriction and celebrates it, and the other side is dangerous and needs to be silenced at all costs.
That's not a real leftist, that's a republican cosplaying as one to give them a bad name. At least, that was the script given out about the Jan 6th traitors, right? It wasn't Trump fans, it was Antifa. And also about the assassination attempt (he spent $10 on a donation a decade ago, he's a Democrat).
It's super easy to just lie about shit because you don't like it. So I'm going to.
It's a fake account to create more chaos and diversion while stuff around us gets worse.
Or the fact that Cyber trucks rarely make it more than a few hundred miles (if that) before they shut themselves off. Also, if you are ever in an accident and it loses power, it may very well lock you in the vehicle while it burns you to death.
Not to mention, Trump is a peacetime president. He's ending the Ukraine War and the Israel Palestine War day 1week 1whenever convenient committing US troops to Gaza to commandeer the land and redevlop it as a US territory, while also threatening to take over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and to annex Canada, and requesting Zelensky allow Putin to ravage Ukrainian land and likely install puppet govt while prosecuting any Ukrainian loyalists as the Russians see fit.
They don't though. And continuing to remain there continues to push the interests further and further away from the user base. There is absolutely 0 reason for them to do any of those things or implement those changes; it costs money and would decrease the power they wield over the users, and this would drop share prices.
Renaining there is a continued vote of confidence in the direction of the site and it's propaganda.
In my experience, the "lifetime" fees are tied to the Apple ID, so it should move devices with you, so long as you have access to that Apple account. And if not, that's at least how it works on Android.
Not to say the price is fair at $80...I think before the Reddit 3rd party stuff, I'd paid for a fair few Reddit apps for no ads, but it was to support a product I liked, and it was maybe $6 at most for it per app. I probably wouldn't go above $15, and it would have to be a really good app...
Honestly. Leave it to EA to take what was a winning, recurring formula and shitting on it til irrelevancy. The fast, twitchy movement, weird tools, etc are not what made BF fun. You're supposed to feel like a cog; nothing special, another soldier in your small squad looking for the small wins. Those don't get clip farmed, though, and it's a CoD/Warzone economy right now. I do have some hope with the gritty WW2 games like Hell Let Loose and Enlisted seeing some success, it's swinging back out of that type of genre and back to the BF roots.
Question remains, the big issue may be progression and the definitely happening micro transactions and battle pass, and their implementation.
