Tariffs are bad. What GB said is more to the point.
But if Chinese stuff is being "unfairly subsidized" then maybe we ought to unfairly subsidize our own high tech manufacturing.
I feel like any government subsidies into America manufacturing just ends up in the pockets of executives and never ends up as lower prices.

Lock the thread. Jokes are off the table.
Trump's youngest son Barron 'declines' to be RNC delegate, his mother Melania says
WWW.BBC.COM
The former US president's youngest child, 18, has "prior commitments", according to his mother.- 2

I don't think there was anything to go after. The kid seems like a personality-less empty vassal.
And that's my first ever comment on Barron
Seems like something he picked up from his mother, at least.

Getting mine was no different than replacing my regular ID, other than it required me to make an appointment at the DMV instead of just walking in. It's dumb.
I just walked in but needed extra documents. Think I brought my passport and a utility bill. Otherwise I've always been able to renew online (Illinois).

Was reading through the guy's Substack a bit. Pretty apolitical. Sounds like a guy who lost a lot of money in crypto and then realize how crypto is a massive scam and then tried to tie a bunch of conspiracies to it.

Shame it wasn't towards their drone manufacturing facilities.

Remake was worse about padding IMO. Partly because the open world makes most of Rebirth optional. And there’s much less shuffling around in tight spaces to hide loading screens.
It does expand on the original a lot, but it feels more like an expansion than filler much of the time.
Yeah, but there's also a lot more "slowly walk down a hallway so people can give you an unnecessary long exposition." You could cut 75% of Chadley's lines and not lose a thing in the game.
It's a game that doesn't respect the player's time. There's a trend among older gamers who want shorter games because they don't have time in between work and family and blah blah blah. I'm not that kind of person, I've done two 80+ hour playthroughs of Cyberpunk. But none of the side stuff in Rebirth really has value. What was even the reward for finishing all the Queen's Blood matches? It never felt like any of the side stuff led to anything worthwhile other than checking off a box on a list. Until the Protorelic stuff at the end, but by then I was so burnt out and just wanted to mash Square through the combat anyhow.

I meant subtlety in the grand story. One thing that made Sephiroth such an iconic villain was because of how little you saw of him. The first time you even see what he looks like in the original game is in the Nibleheim flashback. Now, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting him in the face. Cloud sits down for a cup of coffee and a black feather falls down and Sephiroth pops out and is all like "Cloud, that coffee is very black. You know what else is black? Materia. Get me the black materia." Everything is an escalation over the original, everything is dialed up to 10. It's just an exhausting game.

Just finished at a bit under 100 hours.
I put OG FFVII in my top 5 of all time. While the game has its moments, it's also got a lot of stuff that is just a tremendous waste of time and useless padding. I wish they just understood subtlety and didn't have to constantly turn everything up to 10 all the time. It's exhausting.
At least Yuffie is great. Single best part of the game. Every scene that she is in is a joy.

I had Insider and I sponsored someone—it took 8+ years for IGN to cancel the sponsorship. Each year they would charge my card and I would have to dispute it to get it reversed. I would submit ticket after ticket (I didn't even post there anymore) each year. I don't even remember who I sponsored, lol.
Pfft. I was too young for a credit/debit card. I cut IGN a check for $25 and put it in the mail every year.

I don't know if IGN made all the boards subscriber-only, I thought they had all the platforms just had a free version and paid version. I paid for an IGN subscription to avoid the rabble in the free forums, and also because I wanted in on that weird meta browser Rock-Scissors-Paper game that IGN was running. I thought it was such a cool idea, but ended up barely getting any matches and then they shut it down.
Forums-wise, I pretty much stuck to the PC boards and the GameCube board. I remember how much fun 3DMark01 benchmark leaderboards were.

For a company the size of Boeing, it'll probably be a pretty exhaustive CEO search and I assume they don't just want to stick some rando in there as the interim CEO.

I don't know what is going on in this thread, but I need to participate. I had some water leakage problems at my house so I had to shut off the water until a plumber can show up tomorrow. I still feel okay peeing at home and letting it sit, but I'm trying to plan bowel movements to when I'm near clean public bathrooms.

They should just give in to the headache. Intentionally give up the majority and publicly blame it on Butthead, Magic The Gathering, and Hand Jobber.

The thing is, OG FFVII mini games felt like side distractions that gave you a leg-up on the main stuff. Remake/Rebirth follows a modern game design of everything is made visible to you and everything there is to accomplish is in a checklist. So, like side stuff doesn't feel like side stuff because it's presented to you in the exact same way the main quest stuff is.

Blocking a "super app" feels weird since a "super app" is conceptually it's own monopoly.

I must have missed something along the way.
@TUFKAK was being out of line. Trump wants to fuck his daughter. There's no indication he has fucked his daughter.

Man, this game looks really cool. I loved Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64. It would be the prefect Deck game, but seems silly it's no on PC.

There's something like 90s futuristic about that green SUV.

My only interaction with Rooster Teeth was the first season of Red vs Blue and that one podcast clip of them mad at Jeff Gerstmann for giving Fallout 4 a mediocre score while they're sitting around wearing Pipboys and had Fallout 4 sponsored content.

Woof. I love Yuzu. I am maybe one of the few that only play may own legit rips, but the last few Switch games I bought I played through on Yuzu.
