Absolutely not. I don’t remember the last time I played a game without 60fps performance option on my PS5

With day 1 releases, GP is often a good deal. I usually just subscribe for a month when something interesting comes along, and play that. I finished the new COD BO campaign and Indiana Jones game for 1 month’s price, so I cannot complain.

It’s always greed, but corporations need an excuse, so you don’t get angry at them. Covid was the perfect example for that, when they see the opportunity, they will jack up the prices.

Please someone have a source with audio

Yes, I’m on my second week of sick leave in Germany, struggling to get rid of some virus & laryngitis that I got on a work trip, so now I have to rest and not speak at all.

Currently playing TLOU on my PS Portal. It feels “wrong”, but then I realize I’d rather be healthy and back to work (and also do more productive personal things that I can’t now, like go to the gym).

1. Kill physical retail channels ☑️
2. Sales through physical retail channels drop 🤯

Exactly, when people are given the choice, most of them prefer physical media

I’m not saying a random middle manager couldn’t afford these clothes, but having a big enough house for this closet is not in their price range.

Real eastate prices have exploded, and the salaries are not following, unless you are a top executive.

I’m mid 30s now, and back when I started as an intern, the managers were living in big-ass houses with heated pools on some hillside, driving giant BMWs. By the time I got there, us managers are lucky to own a small apartment in the city or a crumbling house in the suburbs.

Corporate careers are not what they used to be, workers are exploited by capitalism everywhere, just to a diffetent extent.

Socialism for giant corporations: 😎🦅🇺🇸

Socialism for common people: 😡🚫🤷‍♂️

Based on the year’s start, we are indeed heading for 2020 vol. 2

If they throw an extra 50 bn on top, they can also chop up a US journalist of their choosing in Turkey

No global pandemic this time, please

I’m working in Germany, and I see a lot of people complain about Musk and switching from Tesla, which was a very popular even a few years ago.

The people who can afford overpriced EVs are also the ones who can afford the “virtue signaling” to switch to another brand - especially as now there are a lot of great alternatives, many of them cheaper and better.

Yes, I love that part. In my first workplace, they hired 2 senior managers from the main competitor - they were ticking a lot of these boxes, so I seriously started considering if it’s intentional to ruin our small but growing company. Then I just realized that this is how most offices work, very ineffieciently.

For decades, the elite has been hoarding more and more wealth, while the average worker faces inflation, stagnating wages, and crumbling public services - this is true for most developed countries.

Same as with Trump in 2016, a large number of German people are (rightfully) dissatisfied, and (mistakenly) think that a radical candidate will solve their problems, and “stick it” to the elite and current ruling parties.

The answer is the same everywhere - the elite should stop hoarding the wealth that is created by the workers, and the government should use that money to invest into the common needs of the people (e.g. good education, healthcare and public infrastructure). This is the only way that works, but billionaires would rather see fascists on the government that burn countries down, as that doesn’t endanger neoliberal capitalism,

I hope some German politicians still have the balls the prosecute him in his absence. It would be funny if he cannot travel to Germany anymore (or maybe the whole EU, if they issue an international warrant)
