I live in deep red Utah. A lot of people I know do not vote because they do not see the point. These people, who stem from all political spectrums, believe “republicans will always have control over state and local political offices.”
As an Xbox owner I’ve come to realize that buying that console may not of been the best decision.
Call me skeptical, but for the price of 1 Apple Vision Pro my work could buy 2 high powered labtop. I just have a hard time seeing full scale business adoption of these head sets. Computers have changed a lot in 40 but modern work stations still retain same old keyboard plus screen hardware.
Man what a perfect example of how not to run a campaign. $150 million spent and a 30 point margin loss to the lead. What do expect from the team who had the idiotic idea to do an audio only announcement on Twitter. Man what was going on in that meeting. “Heya meatball Ron, you know Twitter, the social media site that ranks 4, the company that shaved off half its market cap in the past year, where a majority of workers were fired or quit, where the owner had his brother took out server back ups with a rented van, the place that could face lawsuits from regulatory bodies, and, whose owner use a fat roll build in Elden ring cuz he equips 2 shields in his left hand slots, and whose company currently has a non-existent legal department? Yeah we want to partner with them.”
Nintendo accosting influencers who stream games is in this legal grey are. The people Vice gaming spoke about how their legal department cautioned streaming games. They said at the time there is no case law that covers this issue. And it is not known who how the courts would rule.
I also bounced off Control. Really wanted to like it. 3D metrovania in a SCP inspired setting ,how cool is that. The game is a technical marvel. How Remedy got that game to run on base PS4; I will never know. However the gunplay just feels off. I don’t like how the gun recharges instead of an ammo reload system. I feel like I’m too squishy. The weapon mods feel materially pointless. Don’t get me the wrong the setting so super unique. Most of my time playing was spent glossing over all the lore bits. “Threshold Kids” is horrifically fascinating. As if it came straight from creepy pasta. I wonder if I would enjoy Control way more if it was a limited series on Apple TV.
Good. Those poor families deserve justice. Alex did this to himself. When the families first pleaded with he could have stopped. He could have ended it there. Post an apology video. Say you were wrong. His viewership wouldn’t noticed. His whole stick constantly shifts the conspiracy to mold whatever story he needs. But no he doubled down. Even during the trial he 100% refused to go along with discovery. He stalled, stymied the courts. Finally the courts got tired and the judge granted him guilty verdict via summary judgment.
Downloaded it last week. Put a few hours into the game. It’s stellar. Very reminiscent of Total Annihilation. Even has the Big Bertha giant canons that are horribly impractical; yet a blast to fire.
