  "There's plenty of reasons why consoles are still better than PCs for a lot of gamers, no matter how hurt your butt is over the fact." I own both gaming rigs AND 2 different consoles and I don't understand this sentiment IN THE LEAST....

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  First, wrong author. Second, I was unaware that pointing out a problem also required prescriptive solutions to that problem. I've never encountered this mindset before and can't imagine living in a world so paralyzed by an inability to comment on an issue without providing the detailed fix to it.

  Re: Re: Take two abandoned the application, not Hazlelight

  To button this up, I looked at the court documents themselves. Hazelight abandoned its original app, as stated in the post.

  Yikes, thank you for pointing that out. Either my synapses misfired there or the AI I built to write these posts for me sucks as bad as Facebooks!

  They are/were also a media darling specifically when it came to the reception the company has received in many corners of the corporate finance and trading market world. I can't tell you how full my Twitter account is with knowledgeable folks wondering why people were buying crypto when they could invest in Peloton instead....

  Re: Re: Hysterical Blatherings

  Are you really this stupid? These assholes were nearly within reach of being able to cause wholesale harm to a large swath of the duly elected government. As a side note: "This isn't a big deal, because something like it happened in the days of Andrew Jackson!" is a bold take, in how completely fucking blind and deaf it is.

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Hysterical Blatherings

  You know what's actually really dope about America, you pathetic dope? Once Michelle Obama became the EX First Lady, she did turn into an ordinary regular every day citizen. She's not the richest of the rich, she isn't the poorest of the poor, she is revered by some, reviled by others, and she gets one fucking vote and nothing more. An every day citizen. I wonder why that isn't something you can grasp?

  Re: So you have half the country on the run?

  "Do you know, for instance, that 18 states have joined with Texas in a direct challenge to the HOW of mail-in ballots at the Supreme Court? NOT the fraud, simple uncontestable fact that Legislatures didn't approve the changes. -- Why not analyze that and see if you've any cause for glee" Nah, you can go read PA's response yourself, because it's complete takedown of the bullshit TX suit is GLORIOUS....

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  yeah, pretty much. The point of my post wasn't that this is brand new, but that it's becoming a more prevalent trend. Ultima Online and Eve are great games. They're also niche games. GTA5 is a cultural force and not IT'S adopted this model. That's a thing, whether you want to acknowledge so or not....
