Seriously, dude above you forgot the series that made Bungie a name almost every gamer is aware of in the same way we've pretty much all heard of, say, id or Bethesda. Halo was in no way "smaller scope" or focused only on singleplayer (at least, it definitely wasn't after CE), Halo was the reason most people bought an Xbox. People who were camping outside fucking GameStop for the launch of (insert favorite Halo here) will remember this well.

God, it's like the "truck driving at bollard" gif but for tyrannical asshats, all I want is the payoff and it never comes. Just like real life!

so this website is complete dogshit and continually reloads the page for me on Firefox on android, having something of a small fit; and it seems to be paywalled anyways as a subscription nag did partially load at one point; but what I can see from the article is this hilarious subtitle/header:

The stock market selloff this week has been painful for investors, but spare a thought for Elon Musk.

Unless that thought is to laugh. And the investors can get bent, too.

Who wants to give R* and Take-Two money anyways? I'm waiting for it to come out on PC and immediately get cracked; the multiplayer is going to be monetized to fuck and back anyways (as bad as, or possibly even worse than, GTA 5) so there is effectively zero downside.

A job is supposed to alleviate boredom? Wow, the 80s were a different time.

I can confirm as a child who had access to and a healthy appreciation for both good books and video games, I was about half as likely to have foisted upon me "something more productive to do" if I was reading than if I was playing video games. The power of burying your nose in a book, not only do you learn something, but people leave you alone.

They both said that before they knew what he was asking for, however, unless "I'm bored" is so commonly followed by a demand for money they knew to expect it. As it stands with the context available to us, they seem to be suggesting that employment itself is the cure for boredom, not any monetary gains therefrom.

how bout i do a n y w a y ?

I feel like this question strongly depends on the religion -- I could see an anarchist believing in Buddhism or something of that nature quite easily, but I'd have a hard time trying to figure out a so-called anarchist that devoutly followed one of the Abrahamic religions. That would seem more than a bit peculiar, to me.

NO YOU BLATHERING CUNTS, WE'D RATHER HE NOT HAVE FUCKED EVERYTHING UP IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Like, I can be mad over two things at once -- an awful stupid deal that gives Iran everything they ever wanted just to get things back to normal (which seems to be floundering as I type), and the fuckwit that got us into this mess in the first place for no good reason, without which we wouldn't be doing said deal -- why can't you?

someone had to say it, that alien has ass. I'm not against a finely detailed ass in art, but this seems hardly the time nor place.

either distract myself with media (video games, music, movies), distract myself with pot, distract myself with my dogs (who alleviate a lot of the loneliness, but I can't have a good conversation with them unfortunately), or come browse and comment here. All my friends have drifted away over the years so I've learned to cope. If it's the connection I miss, I can go pet the dogs. The conversation or intellectual stimulation, I go shitposting (hello!). If it's just boredom stemming from loneliness, alleviating boredom with media or weed is easy.

I was coming here to comment, you see happy people in your electric rectangle of depression and surveillance? How? Can I join them?

How is it a contradiction to say "this deal is bad for America and good for Iran", and "Donald Trump should not have started a war that completely fucked the world economy (including our own gas prices) for 0 benefit to ourselves"? I fail to see how these two things are contradictory. I, in fact, hold Donald Trump accountable for both of them.

Why do you care about how bad it is for america?

because I actually have to live here and have no means of escaping this fascist shithole, which means I am forced to pay taxes and remain somewhat personally invested in how they're spent, and how fucked my country is going to get over the next few years? what an odd question.

A lot of dems reject the deal itself. It’s either the deal or the return to this illegalnwar they claimed to be against.

both of them are bad, dumb options we shouldn't have had to choose between in the first place, personally I'd prefer my government start holding Trump personally responsible for his (colossal, 300 billion dollar) fuck-ups in some manner but we both know that won't happen.

A real anti war person support providing compensations and the best deal for the victim .

so far you've tried to strawman my comment first into "iran is a victim/iran is not a victim" (which wasn't what I was saying, hence, a strawman), now we're doing "no true scotsman". Cool, I like fallacious arguing too. My favorite's ad hominem, and I think you're either deeply stupid or simply not arguing in good faith -- likely both -- so I'm gonna block you now and let you keep doing that all on your own.

E1M1's "At Doom's Gate" will go down in history as one of the most iconic pieces of video game music, up there with the Tetris theme and Green Hill Zone. An absolute legend, he will be missed.

well, the room's not picked up and I'm assuming she told you in English, so the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

I've got a pair of Meze 99 Classics hooked up to a FiiO BTR5 (what I'm told is a reasonable quality set of headphones, and a reasonable quality DAC), and I've had hearing tests, my hearing is apparently fine. And yet, despite my best efforts including A-B testing, no, I can't tell the difference between 320kbps and lossless. Having said that, anything below 192kbps is basically unlistenable as I am able to hear 99% of the detail that's normally there; having it crunched down to something like 128kbps is just jarring, and even at 192 it's still not amazing.
