  1. Give me a launch date, you cowards. I’m looking forward to the… 4th real next gen game to come out?
  2. I get this also. I’ve generally come to be of the opinion that the number of actually responsible gun owners is much lower than I had initially believed, but… I get it. Shooting guns is fun and I still kinda can’t believe how long ago we figured out how to make auto loading pistols… it’s brilliant design. But we clearly cannot be trusted with the responsibility and the cost in human life and suffering isn’t worth it.
  3. Honestly the most confusing aspect of the bitcoin / crypto / NFT conversations I have is that when I call it a scam, advocates point out that people have gotten rich / made money off these things. No shit? Some people made money with Madoff, some people are at the top of MLM schemes, etc. I don’t doubt the underlying tech works, I don’t doubt that people have legitimately made money off crypto. That doesn’t make it any less of a scam, particularly things like NFTs.
  4. The only way anyone can get away form the undeniable fact that “more guns = more gun violence / deaths” is to contort the data to the point of uselessness. ”Suicides don’t count.” “A lot of this is gang violence.” ”The threshold to cross for mass shootings seems arbitrary.”
  5. Marky Mark is in it, so this tracks. Also to be true to Uncharted 4 there needs to be a big ass, empty, boring as fuck open world sequence in the middle.
  6. Stand your ground + open carry = I can shoot whomever I want because I legitimately fear for my life whenever I see someone open carry, prove me wrong.
  7. Oakland has gangs, and gang land shootings don’t count. I see you didn’t list suicides, which also don’t count as gun violence so thank you for that. As always what matters is that the rights of these gun owners were not infringed.
  8. Counter proposal… we launch Spacey into the sun.
  9. Honestly other than watching Endgame before Infinity War.. just do whatever.
  10. Honestly, some of it comes down to the choices you made and which threads interest you. There’s absolutely some stuff that you can find interesting in 1 and 2 that gets hand waved away in 3. Some characters can get over what had been fundamental parts of their character pretty quickly. Things like that. A lot of it depends on what you do / find interesting. But I think it’s unfair to say the game just straight up doesn’t care about your choices. I will say that I do think it’s fair to say that the game doesn’t end all that well or in a way that’s all that interesting.
  11. Saw people protesting outside a Puma store today, with a couple youths wearing MAGA-style hats that said "Make Israel Palestine Again"
  12. Maybe they’d have been less willing to surrender quickly if they didn’t have to look at Washington’s jank ass wooden teeth, so I guess he has a point.
  13. It's not a good movie. As someone who really likes Syndey's Dawn of the Dead, it's disappointing. The whole "reason" they're sent into the city... This is the dumbest movie I've seen in a really long time. Guzman brings a buddy to the meeting with Tanaka who... just leaves. Why? @SimpleG has it right; horror movies thrive on people being punished for self-interested choices or being compelled to make bad ones due to their circumstances. This is just... everyone acting as stupidly as possible at literally every moment... for almost no reason. A zombie heist movie could have been cool, this executes all of its concepts in the stupidest, longest ways possible. I was psyched to see this, especially after the reviews online were generally positive. I really have no idea what movie they watched. It's not terrible, but it is absolutely bad.
  14. Honestly if we're assuming the existence of a higher power, and assuming that higher power is responsible for all creation, and we know that 99.999999999999999999999999999% of all creation would kill us merely by being present in it... I don't think we can safely conclude said higher power would give us the means to feel pleasure and also intend for us to use it.
  15. I don't know what to say, casting a white women as The Ancient One is literal whitewashing. Of course intent and storytelling are important, but representation matters as well. At that point the only Asian actors with speaking parts in MCU movies aside from Benedict Wong in that movie had been, what... Claudia Kim? It's a short list, and it was lousy casting. Tilda Swinton is rad, it's not about her. I kinda go back and forth on this. I think in movies, you're probably right, especially if it's a character that we haven't seen on screen before. There have been enough Superman movies where I personally think it's fine if someone wanted to make a black Superman movie now. Same with comics, if someone wanted to do the black equivalent of Red Son, that could be interesting. But if they cast a black dude as Daredevil or something the first time he was in a movie... I get why people would want to see the character represented the way they're used to the first time he hit the screen. This is the thing, exactly right on the money.
