  • Something something K-Shaped Economy via Chipotle...

    Jump

  • is it pretty pricey?

    It's roughly $10-12 per main item (burrito, burrito bowls, ect), with about $2-3 for a drink. I want to say it's about the same value as a footlong from subway.

  • Sometimes people just want to complain about Windows

    Jump

  • The "curse" of Win8 was the all-in on touchscreen/tablet functionality when nobody (on the PC) was ready for it.

    This is your reminder that the Windows Phone was a thing going on at the same time.

  • Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker) sicko

    Jump

  • You could just say that you liked watching it back then, and as you grew into the person you are now, your tastes changed.

    It happens, I started watching NC stuff back then in 2010 cause it was AVGN adjacent, and kept watching to the point where he quit doing NC videos. It's not a moral failing that you watched that back then, you grew and changed, that's it, it's a part of living life.

  • What dogshit game do you have a nostalgic soft spot for?

    Jump

  • Idk, every single time I try to play SA2, and mind you I have no nostalgic connection to sonic. I keep feeling like I'm just forcing myself to go through it.

  • What dogshit game do you have a nostalgic soft spot for?

    Jump

  • ... that said, even the good sections from SA2 are like a 7/10 at their peak.

    That's being a little generous imho, it's a game that has so much rose tinted goggles on when people talk about it.

    Jump

  • Legend of Dragoon

  • Halo: Campaign Evolved gameplay trailer...

    Jump

  • It at least didn't go around messing with the gameplay, it only messed with the visuals while still having easy access to the original graphics.

    This full on looks like they took Infinite and applied a CE coat of paint to it.

  • Armed police swarm student after AI mistakes bag of Doritos for a weapon

    Jump

  • Because in that field, doing that is pretty much committing career suicide, especially if you do it too early in your career.

    Which considering it was one of the local news stations that covered it, I'd bet you the journalist was either thinking nothing at all, or was telling themselves to not pushback on it because they don't have enough connections to eat the shit that'll get served to them if they do.

  • Been thinking about making a Soviet build deck, using this baby as a foundation, what cards do I need to make this work?

    Jump

  • You're looking for Earth Machine, a deck that is popular, but it's time is long gone now.

  • I wish emulator devs gave the Xboxes a bit more love

    Jump

  • but it's clear Nintendo and PlayStation projects have (understandably) way more people working on them

    Yeah, partially because the xbox sorta has a problem, what even are the big names of the xbox? Like I mean, the face of the xbox to me has kinda started and ends with John Halo ever since CE, and right now the only halo game that isn't fully playable on PC is 5. There's just no other game that pops into my head when I think of 'xbox exclusive'. Like yes I know there's a whole list of xbox exclusives, but Halo really is the first thing I think of on the topic, and I have to try to think of the others afterwards.

    Meanwhile compare this to playstation and nintendo consoles, they both have a long list of both first party titles that have never really been brought forward, and I know for sure in the case of the playstation side, having a long list of third party titles that have never really been brought forward in a meaningful capacity.

  • Supermarket worker in UK whips woman for suspected shoplifting.

    Jump

  • In my experience just from working in a walmart in the middle of nowhere ohio, it's usually people well into their 50/60s+ (old people), and the reason why they're overzealous is that they hate watching people steal when they've worked hard just to get where they're at.

    Younger people I've found to while have some brainworms about shoplifting, are pretty open to hearing from me that it's a drop in the bucket to corporate finances.

  • Thank you for doing God's work and making gamers miserable :sicko

    Jump

  • "Please verify you are 'FnordPrefect' by saying "Doritos™, Dew™ it right."

  • Dragon Age and Mass Effect were never ‘politically neutral’ pretending otherwise just shows you never played them

    Jump

  • Also, there's like a justification written for it, because using magic in DA is written like how magic is for 40k, in that using magic can invite a demon taking over your body. Which i imagine most normal people in the DA world don't exactly want that happening around them.

  • For the first time EVs & batteries are more efficient, better, and cheaper than their fossil fuel competitors. China has scaled up their manufacturing and is exporting to the Global S. at a fast speed

    Jump

  • To recharge the vehicle's battery, you will need to plug it into an electrical receptacle. You will need to pay for the electricity used to charge the battery. This is less expensive than refueling an ICE vehicle.

    I sure hope every home is built with a garage, and/or has actual infrastructure built out for that to be viable... oh right, it's not like that (I live in this little thing that everyone loves to conveniently fucking forget about, rural america), and I certainly don't have any faith that it would even come anywhere close to that in within the next several decades.

  • Caption this

    Jump

  • Pillar of the community, Sir Bearington, holds a press conference addressing the accusations made against him.

  • I feel like the answer must be yes because there's no way journalists would be this incompetent, but was Netanyahu ever directly asked by a reporter what he meant by the Amalek thing he said?

    Jump

  • I'd like to be understanding of the position these people would be in

    From what I know, journalism doesn't exactly pay very well on average, and the highest paid journalists work for the AP, which isn't exactly that high compared to other fields. So with that being said, if the average journalist really wants to keep working in journalism, and not have to make a career change in the middle of their life, then they're going to have to buy into the system outright. So more often than not most of the people that go into it that are passionate about being a journalist probably just get beat down by it all, and figure that keeping your head down and trying to survive like everyone else is the most honorable thing to do.

    It also doesn't exactly help that a portion of western journalists are either CIA mouth pieces (knowing and unknowing), current CIA agents, or are ex-CIA.

  • Magic the Gathering sets announced for 2026

    Jump

  • Every capitalist card game will eventually go this route if they don't go under first.

    Yeah, but so far to my knowledge of the big 3 (pokemon tcg, yugioh, and mtg), magic is the only ones going this hard into it.

    Like yeah Yugioh would have the occasional cross promotion card, but it's typically just a normal vanilla monster (aka, completely useless), and it's also maybe just 1-3 cards at best that come with a monthly magazine sub. And even then all their stuff is largely references and homages, like there's an archetype in YGO that's a reference to both Wizard of Oz and OT Star Wars (Kozmo).

    Pokemon tcg, also as far as my knowledge goes hasn't done anything in terms of crossovers either.

    If we get into long running smaller card games, there's Redemption, which due to the theming of the whole card game (bible, yes, it's a real tcg depicting stuff from the bible) makes it very naturally anti-crossover.

  • Latest US report from the Government Accountability Office concludes that only 8% of ground combat vehicles, and only 20% of ground support vehicles are "mission capable."

    Jump

  • Okay, so this is explainable by pointing out that there's two types of officers in any military. The first one is one that thinks they know what ready looks like, and nothing else. This first one is easy to fool when it comes to equipment checks, but will do stupid shit like wondering why there's oil stains in the mechanic bay. The second one actually knows what ready means for equipment, is the complete opposite of the first guy, and knows exactly why there's oil stains in the mechanic bay.

  • I understand now. It was all about line go up.

    Jump

  • yeah in the current climate "gun control" is a non-starter.

    And even then it shouldn't even be on or even near the table until after the revolution happens, because historically in the US, gun control has, and always will be about keeping guns out of the hands of non-whites.

    Like seriously I keep wondering if anyone actually knows the history of gun control here in the states with how often it keeps being brought up "why don't they just ban guns already".

    Of course this is without getting into the logistical nightmare a realistic comprehensive gun control would even look like in the US.
