In the US, there are multiple holidays people get together for. Halloween (to a lesser degree), Thanksgiving, Christmas (or Hanukkah), New Years. Extended families will often get together multiple times for these and then not see each other again until the next year. Thanksgiving really kicks off the retail season with black Friday, but there's also a lot of time off during the winter time from school and work.

It really is a season with Christmas at the center of it. A lot of our "Christmas" songs don't even mention Christmas. It's just songs about winter.

At least for the US, the price increase is just for digital version. And honestly, I'm certain the old digital had a profit margin hit in comparison to the disc drive version. It was probably worth it to lock people out of discs. This version will have a disc drive attachment option, so they've just given up on their all-digital endeavor.

Aside from that, $50 for 175 GB SSD isn't a great value. The extra 175GB SSD is a significant increase. And for the disc version, that's purely an upgrade.

Most of the extra size is from cooling. So it's not surprising that someone could make it slimmer by messing with that.

It really feels like a FOMO relief for people who want to go all digital. Just in case you want to get discs later.

In other words, Sony wants you to buy digital and don't worry so much about it.

Are you talking about the original Demon's Souls? From what I've heard, there are so many QOL improvements they can't really be treated as the same game.

Also, Ratchet and Clank made me happy to have a PS5 (at that time the PC release hadn't been announced).

"Don't underestimate his ability to play spoiler to one of them."

I think we know which one he'd play spoiler to. Moderate Republicans know how to hold their nose because they're supposed to. Democrats don't have that strong of identity politics. It's much easier for them to be convinced to not vote Dem.

This is especially true for the swing states that are going to determine who actually wins the presidency.

If Dems are oranges and Reps are literal shit. He'd be like a freshly picked mushroom.

It's gonna taste like shit, it might kill you, but I guess you could say it's closer to an orange than literal shit, debatably.

Not just anti-vaxx, but also antisemitic conspiracies.

Caring for the people? Sounds like woke radical leftist Marxist propaganda (actual shit I hear on a daily basis).

The Republican party could stop trying to hurt people at any moment. Hell, I'm in a red state and our last Republican governor wasn't too bad. But it's all just hate now. And anyone who opposes that hate gets more hate from people like you.

The argument that it's impossible to be liable for putting others in danger if you're defending yourself is just crazy.

If you can understand why it would apply to those exaggerated examples, you can understand why it COULD apply to this situation.

Now, you can argue that they DIDN’T put others in danger by discharging their firearm. But that's a separate argument.

I know. I'm saying the GOP would actually defend his actions and say there's nothing wrong with it, because that's what they do.

I understand not wanting to hurt the American people. But Democrats aren't going to just pretend it's fine either.

They would absolutely be calling the whole thing a sham.

I understand not wanting to give up power by ousting them in purple areas, for both parties. People's lives and the trajectory of the country is dependent on which party is in charge, unfortunately. Which is sad in itself.

Still playing Final Fantasy XVI since release.

Getting to the end of it and I've really loved it. The Eikon abilities have really flourished throughout the game starting as supplemental to combat to being a cornerstone of combat.

Other than that, the story has been great as well as the subplots. I can't express how happy I am with this game after the disaster of Final Fantasy XV and the all of the FFVII stuff.

Tangent: I LOVE Final Fantasy. Really liked XVI a lot, too. (A hell of a lot better than XV.)

But it's funny, for the longest time I was the same way with finishing them. I'd usually get anywhere from 1/3 to 2/3 through and just set it down. I think it was some time between XIII and XV that I made an effort to actually finish them.

They were asked to write their personal experience with him. And that's what they did. I didn't see anything defending his actions or condemning the charges.

I don't even have to actively boycott. I just feel weird watching Scientologists leading movies and shows. I find it odd that people can get excited to go watch Tom Cruise in a movie.

Well, I'm still using my $200 laptop from 7 years ago for my basic computer needs. And that doesn't seem like it's going to change soon. Also, someone who buys a gaming PC is likely going to have a cheap laptop to do their basic computer stuff still.

Also, I get my subscription for $40 on sale, mostly for the games and discounts. So it really just pays for itself in the games I get from it.

I think some apps have that, minus the avatars. I want to say Disney+ lets you sync with your friend so you watch it simultaneously.

Final Fantasy VII. I love the franchise, but never got far into VII. Played through it so I could have an opinion on it, so I could see what I was missing. I ended up very disappointed.

Flying around in VR in space in NMS is amazing. I think I lost interest because of the unnecessarily cumbersome crafting and item management though.
