I enjoyed it, too, about 200 hours worth with my wife on it. It had multiple crashes, BattlEye was forced with it, and the whole model was set up to make people rent servers from their affiliated server company for like 20$/mo. There were plenty of servers paid for by people to choose from beyond the official ones, but again it's the same business model.
Heard good things about Helldivers but I've been too busy to buy more games lately.
This game is developed by the same company that made Conan Exiles, which was a worthwhile purchase at $5 or even $20 for the Early Access but is a horrible buggy mess. They're just there for a cash grab and it'll be the same in this case as well.
Not quite. The office of the President already had legal immunity for official acts, the only thing that SC ruling did was reiterate that and also stymie efforts to pursue a legal case against him by buying more time for him to get re-elected. That last part came from having to refer a case to the SC if there was a question over whether or not something was "official". If we had a functional SC that wasn't assisting the Executive, it wouldn't have been a big deal.
Unless the American people vote out the majority of politicians who want to protect Trump to further their own agendas, there will continue to be an evisceration of decorum. He has no true legal protection, just political ones.
Yeah I think their alert system sucks or something. Manual checks on that, microcenter, and best buy are probably your best bet for any new releases going forward.
Edit: I bought an Intel one, 250$ or whatever it was, been very happy with it
Not sure where you are in the world, but I got a B580 from b&h in February without issues. Just checked the site once a day when I knew I wanted to buy one.
Well, checking for testicular and breast cancer can be a mutually enjoyable process... Not sure you want that particular mental image for this case, though.
There are people who believe that colloidal silver has special medicinal properties, and take it as a form of supplement. It's a joke about those people, including the ones with skin tone side effects.
I agree that Schumer's political approach and public rationale is awful, but not voting for the budget would've given the Trump admin free reign to do worse on top of blaming the Democrats for it and convincing their supporters. A government shutdown would've given the executive branch more power to manipulate funding, including to things they can't touch without legal challenges otherwise. I'd rather people be able to go after them in the courts, even if they're doing awful stuff that takes longer to reverse.
This is why those senators broke with the party, because a no vote would've been performative and made the situation worse. The yes votes are mostly in states where deprogrammable independents are a meaningful part of the electorate for 2026.
You know what, you're right. Numbers have shifted since I last checked this, there's more funding from members than before 2020. The (now 30%) station contribution has less federal dollars in it checking the larger station revenue reports. It's probably around 15% without spreadsheeting it, I didn't check PBS.
Nah they get more than that, it's like 40-70% but it filters through individual member stations. This cut will be felt. Even the shift in his first term towards more corporate donations to stay afloat hurt them, badly.
The reason that the stock market cratered in response to this was that regular consumers are about to get hit with a 25%+ price increase on literally everything they buy. If you don't make 25% more paycheck, you're going to be cutting your lifestyle by the difference. Companies know this and are anticipating major lost revenue because people won't have money to spend on their products. The price increases are probably going to be in full swing in 2-3 months, but that's an educated guess, only.
For real? That's incredibly dumb/expensive compared to one subtitle roll. Can you share where you saw that?
