Without diving tooo much into it, I’m pretty sure the main reason is he doesn’t want government regulation around the games industry.

The most generous summary of his better points would be that it is not always feasible to leave a game in a playable state since server architecture might not allow for that. Semi fair since the games industry has gotten to a point where some of these games may be using code contracted from a third party making releasing the binaries difficult from a licensing perspective.

However he seems to have taken playable as ‘designed for single player’. Using the hypothetical of MMOs needing to be rebalanced around a single player experience. He extended this to a game Meet Your Maker which is reliant on other real players for the experience and saying there is no way to leave that 'playable.

As a note, Stop Killing Games is NOT asking for any rebalancing to be done and this is an entirely fabricated complaint.

Yeah, the tone I am seeing in conservative spaces about this has shifting to the gunman being a CIA operative to smeer conservatives.

I envy the willpower to tune him out.

Nah man, it’s cool, I learned a bit more English today!

This is a fundamental flaw with current Christianity and most religions as a whole.

If an arbitrary third party absolves your sins then you don’t feel an emotional need to own your wrongs.

The above assuming the person isn’t a psychopath in the first place.

Giving away 200 billion dollars means having 200 billion dollars. Bill Gates might be one of the 'better billionaires, but just the act of hoarding that much capital is harmful, let alone the method used to obtain it.

I have family who truly believe Trump to be a genius. But everytime, and I do mean everytime I hear him speak he comes off as a senile idiot.

I wish I understood what spell he has people under.

The fact it is a significant fraction of his defensive fund is the depressing thing. But thanks for trying!

Only thing missing here is that I have the weather on there normally.

Most of my picks have been mentioned already, but I had a blast with Mullet Madjack. A tongue in cheek riff on 80s anime in a boomer shooter where you have 10 seconds to live, but each enemy kill gives you 2 more seconds of life.

You can, apparently a decent portion of the population can’t.

Find your kickflip.

Those programs do have an effect on pricing. Not 1 to 1 with the cost subsidization and even if it does there’s plenty of arguments to keep programs like that around.

However I’d rather see moves made to encourage positive behaviors, like purchasing an electric vehicle, that didn’t translate into a dealership subsidy.

Yeah, this is my issue with the government incentives for EVs, especially now that they are more common and can be deducted from the sale price. Most retailers are just jacking up the price to whatever the cap for the rebate is while pretending it’s still a good deal.

This is something I think gets lost in discussions a lot. The USA is massive and fragmented, the fragmentation being intentional with state individuality.

I remember a German family that thought they could easily do LA, Vegas, and the Grand Canyon in a couple of days.

I would like to believe not that the worst happens to the USA, because of the damage that could do globally. But, I do hope that if Trump tried to take Greenland unprovoked that the citizens would not stand for it.

A hope that is quickly dwindling…

Whoa, I dislike iPhones for plenty of reasons, but the cameras are consistently among the best. Maybe not spec wise, and you can complain about post processing all you want. But to an average user that’s just clicking the shutter they turn out great.

ATARASHII GAKKO! My uncle told me to check them out and I’ve like them a lot.
