I assume people just mean having a small garden maybe a few chickens not full blown farming.

Yeah, I was honestly surprised Sony paid that much for them when I saw the sale news.

They're not completely wrong, a lot of gamers will buy anything that has a large company's name on it then complain they were sold shit.

Trump Blurts Out Plot to Rig Midterms So Vile It Even Shocks GOPers
Trump is sinking and taking the Republican Party with him but Republicans are such cowards that none of them have the balls to tell him to his face that his idea sucks. At this point their best bet is that Trump croaks before November and they can shift messaging to still salvage the midterms somehow.

If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America?
Reply in thread
I thought it was illegal in the US as well so I checked Wikipedia and found out that it's not illegal at the federal level but it's at the state level which means it varies between states. Some make illegal any phone use, except hands free, some only ban texting and internet use and Montana is the only state where it's not illegal in any way. WTF Montana.
Though from what I see most of the punishment is fines. Where I live it's a fine and a penalty point on your driver's license. A point lasts for 3 years and if you get 3 in of them you can't drive anymore. You then have to take a driver's exam again to be allowed back on the road.

GTA 6 will cost £70 - and physical edition will not contain a disc
Reply in thread
Sure but you can get a cheap second hand PC or a laptop or a console to play that 5 dollars game and it's a one time purchase.
Shit you don't even have to pay 5 dollars, there are plenty of games that are free. I've been playing Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead for hundreds of hours and haven't paid a cent since it's a free game, it's updated daily and it can run on basically any PC since it's an ASCII game. This is like complaining that it's too expensive to get into woodworking because you have to buy a hammer.
And if you want to play the latest title with your friends, it's going to be 1-2k on the hardware before you can even launch the game.
Get friends that don't ask you to spend 1000 dollars to hang out with them.

GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch
Reply in thread
Probably because they get fat bonuses from console manufacturers to release there first. Then they can release on PC later for full price and people will still buy it.

Military services again requiring recruits to get flu shots as Air Force outbreak grows
That's just the perfect breeding ground for a potential new Spanish Flu. Flu virus mutates quite quickly and if it has a bunch or hosts to infect and reproduce just means it keeps mutating, it just takes a few mutations to increase its virulence and we would have a new pandemic.
These people are the fucking worst.

I heard the term zine used for small tabletop RPG publications. It's not a term only used for political propaganda.

'Syria and Turkiye represent bigger threat to Israel than Iran': Israeli minister
Reply in thread
Turkey is a NATO member and their armed forces are using NATO equipment. If Israel attacks Turkey that would trigger article 5 of NATO which would force all of the countries bound by it to declare war on Israel. If they refuse to do so then NATO wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on.

Kennedy Center being used as projector screen for Trump and Epstein videos
Why does the Independent call it a prank? It's legitimate protest and they're downplaying the seriousness of it by calling it a prank.
