• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Back when it was under the price of 2 games a year it was a pretty good deal. Thinking of buying the next Halo and Forza? Get gamepass and save money, and have the opportunity to try a bunch of other stuff you wouldn’t have played.

  There’s amazing games like Hades and Slay the Spire that I wouldn’t have been interested enough in to purchase that are now among my favorites because Gamepass let me try them.

  Honestly, I think the better route would be to keep it cheap but not include new releases. Let people access the back catalog affordably with games that aren’t brining in much new revenue anyway. People will discover games and genres they otherwise would not have played, which will create new markets and boost ssales of new releases.

  Back in 2006/2007, it wasn’t a terrible idea. I actually used it a bit after I dropped cable in college to buy shows that I wanted to watch.

  Because the team that headlines with this guy giving bis to microphones and bragging about sexual assault is worried how things look.

  4 and 5 were both designed for the same console, and that console was released in 2005 - only 2 years after Vice City.

  6 is being designed for consoles 2 generations and 7 years separated from GTA 5’s release. It better be better.

  Yeah, I can mail a ticket to the address on file for a company, but half the time they’re isn’t even a mailbox. I recently sent a letter to every commercial property owner in the city, and over 60% of them for returned as undeliverable.

  Which company is that? The car is probably owned by an LLC based out of a different state, so you have to track down the formation documents there to find the owning company, only to find it’s membership is another LLC in a different state, and so on for 90 levels of bullshit.

  I do code enforcement on commercial properties and it can take 50 hours and thousands of dollars in research to figure out who the responsible party is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny thing is I’m terrified of spelunking, but actively working towards being certified for cave diving.

  Fill it with water and I’m interested!

  I think part of it is that I can’t get stuck as easily with scuba gear strapped on my back, and I don’t have to worry about gravity fucking me over.

  And I’ll never go anywhere that requires squeezing my fat ass through a crack.

  Same ones who said COVID would magically disappear right after the 2020 election.

  There’s a 30-year time skip, but the characters are the same.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High Art 🧐🎩⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It was a Taxi Driver remake that licensed a DC character instead of paying Scorsese. It was solidly okay.

  But Phoenix 100% earned the Oscar with it.
