Dude, it might be time to start taking the fascist in office backed by the richest Nazi in the world a bit more seriously. You'd either hafta be dumb or sickeningly out of touch to think you can just sit back and assume he's joking.

That last one I like to call "spotting the hill I don't wanna die on"

I've yet to encounter a game my 2080s couldn't run at 144hz max graphics... Why are we still pumping out $800-1200 gpus when there's nothing requiring that amount of power?

I wish those worked for me. It's an autistic texture thing for me, so anytime I try substitutes I nearly gag.

I've never been closer to vegan than I am now. And I love meat and animal products and have long given up on the illusion of any ethical consumption in capitalism. It just turns out meat is way overpriced and you can make some tasty meals for cheap without meat and most animal products.

I have to agree with the plotless aspect. I will, however, defend it solely for its special effects. I think modern films should strive for the standard that movie set in my mind.

Almost our entire economy in the US is built around spending money you don't have. You can't finance a car, sign a lease, or buy a house without having extensive history of buying things with money you don't have. On top of all of that, we continually lean further and further away from actually owning anything and instead either renting or borrowing every necessity and commodity available. At that point, why bother spending money you do own on things you don't get to keep? Especially when you continually watch people who have significantly more money than you racking up debt and then getting it forgiven just for shiggles.

Every month there's a new "unprecedented" event. Wild fires, shootings, repeated attempts to strip our rights, opioid epidemic. There's a miriad of reasons to feel like long-term investments are an exercise in futility.

Also, when an especially bad flu season can financially ruin you due to Healthcare costs, why fucking bother?

You are 100% correct.

No man's sky for me. Both are amazing games at current stage but with shit releases.

I think the stakes make the decision for me, so let me put it into that context:

Would you rather have to crawl out of some thing's ass (or you die), or have something crawl out of your ass (or it dies).
