It felt like two highschool drama rivals inexplicably got cast in a big budget show piece. I don't know who the characters are, but they had the chemistry and acting skills of porno step siblings.

I went in expecting family guy in space and instead I got a really good spoof of star trek with a comfortable mix of low-brow humor and well thought out commentary. I'd honestly give it a go if I were you, Seth McFarland is so much funnier than most give him credit for.

I never said they'd do away with us, we simply won't be part of the "economy". The fineries of life will become increasingly limited to the haves and we have-nots won't be considered in the metrics in the same way that some people do tolerate the ads in a game otherwise meant to catch whales. We'll still work for our wages and spend it on our necessities but the island of what is meant for us will shrink and eventually lottery players will dream of ordering pizza instead of owning a yacht buying a nice car paying off their debts.

In mobile gaming we have an issue with whaling. A game will come out monetized beyond reason, and it doesn't matter if 99% of players quit in the first hour, 1% of players have more money than brains and what they pay will make the game profitable. This is so effective that the play store now has no games worth playing because this is a far more lucrative business.

I see a lot of people taking about capitalism inevitably collapsing, but if all the money is collected in the hands of the 1%, products for the unreasonably wealthy will be the lucrative market. It doesn't matter if only two people buy cars a year if the cars are sold at such a markup that it covers the annual expenses. Some my think that's unrealistic, but we already have people who will spend a hundreds on a brick with a brand name on it. The ultra rich pay hundreds for a beige shirt that's slightly higher quality than Walmart.

We'd be better off going back to barter than trying to peacefully pry the system from their clutches.

Facts. I've been posting exclusively as Postmortal_Pop on every platform I've been on since 2010. If someone wants me, they'd be downright incompetent if they couldn't find me. That's my name as much as my real name.

It's more like "trick or treat" vs "candy or we egg this joint".

The one is social accepted, polite, and doesn't overtly state an intention to harm but it does imply it. The other is exactly the same, but it's direct, no implication, just one or the other.

Another example would be "you gotta pay us for protection, you wouldn't want anything to happen while you're here." Vs. " Pay up or we cut you".

My gal hates it because she's a huge fan of the book and apparently they did the whole of it pretty dirty. One of those, "it's fine if you weren't hoping to see anything that made the book unique" type movies.

I am indeed the most rebellious form of ravioli.

I've read a few, but the one that I'd most likely recommend is The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling. It's a beautiful tale of grief and closure over the course of a month long solo splunking expedition on an alien planet in a futuristic supersuit. It was so good all the way through!

Fair enough, I'm only just finding out about the odd fellows.

That's one of the harder parts about it, even one themed in a way that's positive is going to eventually fall to something with stronger conviction

That'd be an absolute blast! I wish the few we tried to get started never really got anywhere.

While yes, the unfortunate thing is that it's pretty christian dominant and my experience has been that don't appreciate agnostics and pagans in there midsts.

Honestly, he's not wrong, it does look cool and fun. I wish there were non-religious secret sects.

I'm really hoping that, with 4 vehicles now and the knave racing in duviri, that we'll get a conclave racing game mode at some point.

Honestly, Warframe should be what every corpo gaming company is trying to emulate. There's a so much content, amazing game play, stupidly complex story, the monetization doesn't harm the playerbase or limit the game, and the devs not only care, but actively play the game themselves.

They've got a dozen different genres of game crammed in there now, don't want first person shooter? You can play space battle, kiju hunter, street fighter, fishing sim, cabalela's big game hunter, tony hawk pro skater 2, interior design sim, and more without ever opening a different game. I keep trying to play something else and keep going back because it's both a fun and exciting game, and playing different game modes reward you with things that help your other game modes. Imagine if spending an hour shooting things in CoD and fishing in animal crossing rewarded you with better magic in Skyrim.

Frankly, corpo companies spend millions to have this kind of walled garden system and warframe managed to do it on a budget and to the player's benefit instead of harm. It's what gaming needs to strive to be.

Arlo Guthree's Alice's Restaurant has you covered. I play it every Thanksgiving.

I love this
