Democrats are still playing politics but they don’t seem to realize the Republicans stopped playing a few years ago.

Gotta get that both sides in there.

and the price of a decent gaming PC hasn’t really changed much in the last 15 years.

I take it you haven’t priced parts for a gaming PC in the last 15 years?

Seems that way. Someone clearly close to the government and probably the EA deal is hell bent on eliminating Steam, not through competition, but through political leverage and bullshit lawsuit after lawsuit.

Is this the new Astroturfed counter argument? The USA Is big? Jesus we’re fucked.

It won’t matter if someone else makes a better card when features like mega geometry and RTX are only available on Nvidia cards.

Oh cool. More manufacturer specific features to lock consumers to Nvidia. Because RTX and DLAA have been soooo good for the gaming industry.

Who?

Don’t support the company. But do fight against a government who’s hell bent on taking away your rights and they’ll do it taking the rights of people or things you don’t care about first. If you give them any leeway, they’ll take it all.

I wouldn’t dismiss daily stretching… Doing yoga 4 days a week has completely fixed my lower back pain from sitting at a computer all day.

WTF does an ohio senator have to do with the iran war?

Hard to call it a lapse when your judgement is always wrong

Lol ok. That’s some dumb reasoning not to play a good game. I guess you never play anything old, and prefer to get ripped off? And when you finally can get the games at a good value, you snub your nose, assuming something has to be wrong with it to be that cheap? You’re doing a ton of mental gymnastics for no reason.

Publishers often give steep discounts on the older games in a property to generate hype and sales before a new entry is released.

I never played dead rising when it originally came out. I picked up the first one for 95% off when the remake came out. It ended up being one of my favorite games. If I used your logic, I’d overspend on everything, and I’d never find games I missed like that.

They’re doing exactly what Trump wants. In what world do you think he’d let them go?

Part of me tries to rationalize the current state of the world as a last gasp by those who know we’re all doomed and can’t change anything. The elite and powerful. And instead of trying to fix anything, they’ve all decided they’re gonna go balls to the wall before it’s all fucked beyond repair.

That’s a weird way for a station to react.

Almost like they don’t actually wanna talk about real problems.

most or a great majority of people in the US have it “good enough” to not “risk it all”.

Most of the people I know are barely hanging on and desperate to keep the little they have. When you’re barely getting by, like 60% of Americans currently living paycheck to paycheck, you can’t afford to risk anything.

They’re too busy making sure their kids don’t starve, or making sure they can stretch the last bit of money until the next check. Doesn’t help that all we do is exploit these people any chance we can.

And I’d bet a lot of people in that situation don’t really care to help repair a system that never really worked for them in the first place.

It’s not the right approach, you and I know that. But desperate people don’t act rationally. They act emotionally. And our society has gotten really good at manipulating peoples emotions.

Oh thank you for doing what you’re supposed to do.

This is a weird generation of consoles. If you’re an early adopter, you probably saved money. That sorta thing never happens.
