I was in college when I watched that for the first time and I still think I was too young.

Sorta unrelated, but this generation of consoles feels like the death knell at least for me.

I bought an Xbox Series X right as it came out as I had with pretty much every MS console since I was a kid. I was just the right age and all my friends were obsessed with Halo and Fable. I played it quite a bit the first 2 or 3 years I had it, but now it just collects dust.

Ironically it’s Microsoft’s decisions with Windows that pushed me to abandon ship. I hated using Windows since 8 came out and started using Linux a lot more. Which lead me to Steam and Proton of course. And now that’s the only way I really play games these days.

Triple A gaming feels pretty much dead to me too. I basically only play the same few strategy games and the occasional RPG and that’s all I really need anymore.

Maybe I’m just getting older and it’s irrelevant to what’s going on with the rest of the industry. Just wanted to share my experience because it blows my mind they’re already talking about the next generation of consoles. The Series X and PS5 still feel brand new to me. Did either of them even have a single killer app? It’s felt very underwhelming and I’d be okay if they waited until 2028 or so to be honest.

They must have a money losing fetish.

$69.99 is still too high, but nice try I guess.

I hope he truly enjoyed his work. Because working up until a week before your death is the most depressing thing I can possibly think of.

The DNC and their billionaire donors care though. That’s really who our elected officials work for.

The reverse George Costanza.

Maybe they’re fine for home use, but they’re always the first ones to breakdown on me at work. Actually had way better luck with HP LaserJets. But all printers are evil this is like comparing various grades of manure.

Probably true. My ideal printer doesn’t exist. I’ve really had some bad luck with Brother printers in particular.

Don’t care for Brother. Never understood the circlejerk for them. Cheap flimsy parts that break easily and are almost impossible to repair. I’d probably want something nicer than the base model too.

Don’t feel like dropping $400

I still use an inkjet but I hate myself more for it everyday.

What if you adopt your cat at 9 years old? I can’t be blamed for her abnormalities.

I didn’t say that. Honestly, I’m not an expert on this war at all. I just try to look at things through the perspective of other countries. The US and NATO have done plenty of dirtbag things over the years. In particular to Korea who doesn’t have nearly the resources that Russia has. I don’t feel like there’s any good or bad guys here. Everyone has blood on their hands. Thanks, I’ll look into that later. I just woke up.

There’s some logic to that for sure.

Who knows for sure. I don’t think the war has gone completely Russia’s way. So I guess maybe both are true.

Definitely an interesting story. I guess Russia and Korea view NATO as their common enemy. So it makes some sense to me even if it seems over the top on paper.

Sounds like your average IT infrastructure job.

Maybe I’m out of the loop, but wasn’t that debunked? Or at least there was never any concrete evidence that was true? Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong though. I haven’t been following the Ukraine war super closely.
