    I’ve had PS5 since release. I have played a handful of PS5 games and honestly most of them have felt like slightly enhanced PS4 games. Very few have truly felt “next gen.” Even fewer make decent use of unique DualSense features.

    I’ve mostly continued playing tons of PS4 games. PS5 seems kinda meh to me. Also as usual Sony has made a system software design and layout that feels needlessly restrictive and idiotic.

    This thing is basically a PS4 Pro Pro. And now the PS5 Pro will be a PS4 Pro Pro Pro.

    Okay. I gave it:

    You are a presidential candidate on a debate stage. You have been asked about Healthcare and you said you have the “concepts of a plan.” When the moderator further presses you on it … what are these concepts of a plan?

    And it gave back:

    If I were a presidential candidate being pressed on the “concepts of a healthcare plan,” I would respond with something like this:

    "The key concepts of my healthcare plan revolve around three fundamental goals: affordability, accessibility, and innovation.

    1. Affordability: We need to lower healthcare costs for everyone, from families to businesses. This means negotiating drug prices, reducing administrative waste, and encouraging competition among insurance providers to drive down premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. I also plan to explore tax credits for small businesses to help them provide healthcare for employees, as well as options for expanded government-sponsored insurance for those who are struggling to afford private plans.
    1. Accessibility: Every American deserves access to healthcare, no matter where they live or what their income level is. We need to expand healthcare infrastructure in rural and underserved areas, using technology such as telemedicine to bridge gaps. My plan will ensure that insurance coverage cannot be denied due to pre-existing conditions and that there are no lifetime limits on care.
    1. Innovation: The future of healthcare lies in innovation, and we need to support cutting-edge research in medical technology and treatments, including investing in preventive care and personalized medicine. We’ll foster public-private partnerships to encourage the development of new cures and ensure that our healthcare system keeps pace with the needs of our population.

    This approach will balance individual choice with collective responsibility, ensuring that healthcare is affordable, accessible, and forward-thinking for every American."

    Remember that Dale also did not know what the confederate flag truly meant. He just thought it was a southern thing. And the minute someone told him how offensive it was to them, he went and immediately scraped it off his truck and apologized.

    Dale wasn’t no damn loser traitor.




  • Some steam games I have gotten for as little as 0.25 to 0.50 before. I’m fine with unplayed games. Or some games I try out for a few hours and move on. Ehh, it’s fine. But I almost am never spending dozens of dollars, much less full price. Hell, a lot of games are on discount on sites like Fanatical before they even launch.

    I have also noticed PC gets patches much more quickly and often than console games. So when that matters, it’s kind of nice.

    Most recently, a party-based single player game I love on its PC port has an experimental co-op built in which has been a ton of fun, and that’s just not happening on the console versions.


  • Hahaha laughable. Space Marine 2 had Playstation issues at launch. Not sure if fixed yet. I remember just how literally unplayable Skyrim was on PS3. And so many in-between.

    You also get a guarantee that games will never be as cheap on console as on PC. I have been transitioning for years and it’s astonishing how often I see a game for sale on PC for like $2 and on sale on PSN for like $20, or not available on PSN at all. Not to mention less options for modding idiotic design flaws to increase playability. No ability usually to customize controls.

    You also likely guarantee you can’t replay that old game from 2002 or whatever yoh might wanna do cause theres very little, if any, backwards compatibility, and if there is, it probably involves re-buying.

    Consoles are limited and give a false sense of simplicity and a false sense of being cheaper.










  • At this point, what you’re saying is like telling a woman she shouldn’t have been there or wearing that, and ignoring the real issue with power here.

    Cops largely are pathetic power-abusing shitheads who escalate at every possible opportunity. You should not have to cower to every whim and demand of a cop if you are not doing anything dangerous. Cops have lost any credibility to suggest that we should have to give a shit about every stupid fucking tiny thing they have an issue with.

    Based on your argument, you could say you’ll only speak to a lawyer and you’re giving the cops an out to beat the shit out of you for not complying. Cops don’t understand non-violent approaches to solving any problem, and THAT is the problem to focus on.

    Fuck the police.
