Most people I know still have an Xbox one X, or S. Nobody bought the "Series," because nobody can really tell the difference at this point. All the games look the same. This was a tramendous marketing failure. The only exclusive they had banking on the release of the Series was Halo Infinite...

House of Leaves. This is -quite possibly- the most confusing book ever written, and you have to read the book over multiple times to realize what's going on. That being said, it's actually really good, and gives off those Jacob's ladder/Silent hill vibes. Funnily enough, the best adaptation of...

I post on forums because its a topic-focused portal for discussion. I miss those days when the focus was more on the things we talk about, rather than the people talking about them. Social media is way more self-focused, and so, narcissism and celebrity-worship thrives there. You have feeds...

I just bought Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition on steam. I liked AOE II HD Better, but this is my favorite RTS series.

The PS portal is hilarious, but I don't think this poses enough of a risk to the company, that it could cause it to go under. This is more like an experiment, and let's be honest here; they can afford the L they will take. The PS5 is dominating the console market right now. That being said, the...

Thank you, everyone! Sorry for the late reply. I was having a good one! :celebration:

Re-watching Gundam 00. This was one of those shows that wasn't just a "good Anime," but just an overall good show in general. I could easily see a live-action adaptation of this show killing it on Netflix or -even better- Prime. I consider this series better than Gundam Seed, Wing, and even...

There is a pretty bizarre and embarrassing backstory to the X.com branding that started all the way back in 1999. So, back when Elon Musk was the PayPal CEO in the late 90s', PayPal and its competitor Confinity inc, would merge to form a bank called x.com. As the story goes, the board of...

Asphalt 9: Airborne I started playing it on the PC before picking it up for Android. It's basically Burnout 3, but for phones. I shamelessly play it once a day, just to get the daily quests out of the way. I even bought a gamepad specifically for this game. Mobile Legends It's a League of...

So the racism and antisemitism got so bad on Xbox live, they introduced a CCP-style social credit system? :rofl:

I used to go to my local library in California, but only for the comic books. For some reason, my local library always stayed current on newly released DC, Marvel and Image comics. I used to go there just to read the DC Metal event as it was being published, without actually having to buy the...

I gotta admit, when I saw the trailer, I kind-of expected this game to be exactly $40 at launch. I think most people did. $60 in today's market doesn't make sense anymore. Even if you account for inflation, less buying power for people 18-35 means they would spend that $60 on some other -more...

He got hit with charges like inciting a riot, but I gotta be honest here; I don't se those charges sticking. I know you're supposed to have a permit in the state of New York for any kind of public meetup, or assembly, but 'Inciting a riot?' Really? As far as I know, this dude never told...

Governments don't have as much control over the job market as people think. Governments are there to regulate markets, so the world doesn't turn into a Cyberpunk distopian version of a banana republic. The only jobs a government can create is a government job. How many of us work for the state...

Elevators. Everything about them. I keep having lucid dreams about elevators malfunctioning every time I try to use one. The doors open while its still moving between floors, sometimes it goes down to a secret basement floor with a keypad, where you gotta know the right numbers to get in...
