So, you need something done in your house; maybe you need to hire:

1. An Electrician
   
2. A Plumber
   
3. A Painter
   
4. A Carpenter
   
5. A Roofer
   
6. A Automation technician (Wi-fi, Fibre etc)
   
7. A Gas Engineer
   

Pick one NOW.

You have to spend the day there so you can't leave.

However, on the day, you get a phone call from the person who was supposed to do it, Ted Healy who says their has been a complication and he won't be able to make it. He assures you thought that his assistants, his stooges you could say, would be coming in his stead; and that you should trust him that they can do as good a job as he can.

Thirty minutes later, you get an odd knock on the door and you see three men, Moe, Larry and Curly (or Shemp, Joe or Curly Joe if you'd prefer) and they seem very... Slap sticky...

So... WHAT HAPPENS!?!?!?

That is legit the worst thread he has ever done.

“Hey guys, who of you comedy geniuses want to write slapstick?”

Who's the pitcher and who is the catcher?

“Doesn’t slapstick comedy works best in visual mediums?”

This is the presidential portrait of man who brings peace and love wherever he goes, look at the love in his eyes for all Americans from all walks of life.

Very girthy.

Embiid is so gonna get banned for transphobic.

Embiid posts like a dude who has multiple alts already registered.

Nextdoor would get the Stooges operation shut down so fast these days. Fucking late stage capitalism.

Delete now Jeff, this isn't your best work.

It's not anti-consumer. You want developers to get paid more? You want better graphics than we had in the last game? You want huge open worlds with tons of side content? Guess what? All that shit costs money.

That's... that's not how any of this works. Increasing game prices does not mean game developers get paid more. And, you should obviously understand this, game developers getting paid more does not mean video game players can afford increased prices.

I find it funny how he never answered you back , what a bad look.

[Boredfrom]

I'd pick painter, but I'm also genuinely tempted to see them deal with technology like wi-fi since I've seen then do everything else.

*walks in and takes a peak* Whoo that's a lot of discourse.

The actual video and its point is sound. We are seeing more and more the symptoms of the true disease that plagues us.

We need allies to arm up and fight back against publishers.

Charlie Kirk was a nazi? 

That was Captain Kirk. Charlie was just an opinionated dickhead.

I criticize so many Era members so I have to say props to Clefargle for trying to get idiots like Khanimus to realize what the prices were in the past.

I can accept people not understanding how stuff works...but being the one who literally runs a specifically video games site and saying completely incorrect information so confidently just blows my mind lol.

Obvi devs need to be paid more, no one (reasonable) is questioning that - but raising game prices will absolutely not help them (nor the consumer).

I was raised Catholic and am now a Hellenistic Pagan, what do I know?

Cultural appropriation. Cancel this cunt now.

[Potato]

Oh I know. But technically they are Protestant. By the terminology if your Christian but not Catholic your Protestant.

Joseph Smith was raised Protestant.

I've heard Methodists and Baptist claim they are not Protestant too. They are wrong by the definition of the word.

Bruh 

Orthodox Christians are not fucking Protestant you retard.

I'm not a young guy, probably considered middle aged now.
Never have had any issues with the display, all the complaints have been incredibly overblown for my experience.

I don't doubt certain people have issues, though. People have issues with all types of displays.

Literally just close your eyes for 5-10 seconds after playing the system and it solves all my problems.
The only thing it does to me anyways is kinda change my depth perception for a few seconds if I go straight from VB to the real world.

During gameplay, I haven't had the slightest issue or hint of an issue with anything. I honestly don't even know what issues I could possibly have, it's like looking into a screen. It's not terribly bright, so it's not some sort of searing red image being branded onto your retinas.
Feels very similar to using the 3D on a 3DS...like looking into a shadow box or something.

I do have some issues with using VR, for reference. VB works way better for me.

Dude, the console itself constantly went in sleep mode just to advise you to “take a break” and Mario Clash and Tennis have big ass disclaimer warnings when initiating the games. Nintendo knew that people will have issues with the console. 

I don't disagree with your experience or how it was viewed at the time, but I actually do think (having recently re-explored the whole library on 3DS) that there are more good games than you may be giving it credit for.

Too bad Nintendo wants to sell you an accessory and missed the boat with the 3DS. Because I feel that the visor is one of the reasons why people got headaches.

Lol. Boredfrom hates Nintendo because he got dudded by the Virtual Boy. Move on mate. No one forced you to buy it then and no one is forcing you to buy it now.

Echos is in that price thread saying all the phrases:

I still remember when the stories of how little pay Blizzard Employees got (especially in comparison of their CEO) all while Activision Blizzard was (and still is) making Billions on exploitative lootboxes and other paid RNG and FOMO:
https://www.businessinsider.com/activision-blizzard-salary-disparity-issues-2020-8

The same company that was one of the first to push in the US $70 and then $80, the same ones happy to push exploitative practices against children, the neurodivergent and people with addictive personalities and gambling addictions; happy to throw their employees away for AI. These people do not give a fuck about the art of their devs and need to be treated as such. I wish people would stop defending them.

After over a decade of seeing gamers utterly shame and mock victims of AAA and mobile companies exploiting them with gambling tactics; I'm so beyond done of gamers preaching the choir of Conservatism and Reagan Neo Liberal ideals (shown to be alive and well in this thread) and acting like Corporations are "neutral" and it's all on the fault of customers. I despise the idea that poor people don't deserve games (or ANY entertainment at all), that's it's there fault for not being able to "plan". I am sick of gamers just parroting the words of CEOs to justify everything (going back shaming victims of gambling tactics), I am so fucking done with all of it. Like to be blunt, I don't get why we're getting so pedantic about people not being exactly accurate with their terminology, I still get what their trying to say when they say Anti-consumer in this context, especially in places where the prices of console games have skyrocketed and think this is rather minor in comparison to the fact late-stage capitalism is slowly killing much of the entertainment industry and squeezing out the actual artists.

And we know how that ended… the N64 destroyed the ps1 in sales, the more expensive cartridge games proved to be so popular that people got a second job just to be able to buy more games…

Like what are you even trying to say with this?

To me, the argument seems to be "shut up and don't ever complain; capitalism isn't ever at fault for anything, you are!" It's honestly insane that the gaming community will defend the capitalist system (and truly believe in insane things like trickle down economics) to the death. This is not a healthy game industry and it's just part of a larger rot that is late stage capitalism.

There's tons of posts in that thread that don't get that the argument is that even $80 games are cheaper than games were back then.

[benji]

The vote with your wallet thing don't even work mane. For every "vote with my wallet" id do there's bout 100 ppl per thread just on this site alone going they'd even pay $100 lol. So you pretty much priced outta ya hobby. Sucks but it is what it is

Gamers are dumb, news at 11.

And I don't even mean capital "G" gamers. This site is just as guilty at this shit as any other place. Had Nintendo been punished for selling TOTK for $70 with a drastic drop in sales, you bet they wouldn't dare to price games even higher. That was their testing ground.

If only Gamers had a sense of solidarity instead of just buying things they want, when will we have a Gamer Union?

Texas Tech has identified and expelled the following female student who danced around and mocked the passing of Charlie Kirk on Texas Tech's campus.

Governor Abbott weighed in on the incident and stated the following on X:

"Definitely picked the wrong school to taunt the death of Charlie Kirk. Thanks Texas Tech."

UPDATE: She the individual was arrested for assault, after slapping a bystander's hat.

.. sigh, guess it's not an arrest for wrongspeech after all..

I'm just so tired.. why can't we have a single win, lefty bros?

I see the Epstein files pissing off a majority of the J6 crowd, including QANON

Even the media stopped pushing the idea that anyone cares about this Q-Anon garbage around 4 years ago 

Dude, you dont need to try so hard just to defend a pedophile.

[Uncle]

They all agree with it and celebrate it, the murder is completely in line with their way of thinking and they've been going on and on about how great it was, and yet now they're twisting themselves into knots to try and distance themselves from it WHILE STILL PRAISING IT.

the narrative is just relentless, so far entrenched already

Pussy expulsion, Wheels, we're supposed to be against this nanny shit at colleges.

I wonder how many "student" athletes Texas Tech has refused to expel for assaults or other "crimes" like this or worse.

[HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth]

you have to play video games in mexico, the only alternative is go outside get stung by scorpion, eat hot chip and get beheaded by cartel

Or play soccer.

Kind of sounds like Australia. I guess that would be spiders and scorpions and get beheaded by kangaroos.

Kangaroos won't behead you, but they will fuck you up for some KFC.

It's crazy the lengths the media and Republicans are trying to spin this story. Couldn't pin it on a POC or immigrant because the shooter is a white male. Can't bring up parents or upbringing because he grew up in a white christian conservative household in lily-white Utah. Only spent a semester in college and then went to a trade school so the "liberal indoctrination" of college isn't working either. So what can they do? Talk about how the shooter grew up around guns and was shooting them as a child, which gave him the proficiency to carry out the assassination? Or talk about the radical right wing pipeline that exists online to stoke violence in white conservative males? Or the violent rhetoric spewed constantly by the cheeto in charge and codified by the rest of the Republic party? No? Well guess they have to blame it on the roommate who may or may not be trans? Like what the actual fuck?
