    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    The sad part is they came up with probably at least a dozen ideas that sound like brand new comedies instead of rehashes and could've worked. Get an actual writers room together and you could get an actual story. This, like most new movies, seems like it was written by a conglomerate that's...

    Well that's depressing. Although I think it was a pretty long shot that Ghostbusters 3 would be worth a shit.

    Seems like a pretty fair assessment. Essentially, the bones are there for a good game (ignoring that the "bones" includes the client side authority coding which is essentially unfixable and breaks everything), but the developers can't stop stepping on their own dicks and ruined everything. The...

    I actually have no idea what this means for the economy, as it seemed like the only thing anyone was hypothesizing about was when Powell was inevitably fired and what would happen when x person took over (like Brainard).

    I mean, if I had the resources of Pelosi (hundreds of millions), I'd probably live in California again. The taxes and general fuckiness aren't nearly as bad when they're fractions of a percent. It's honestly an amazing state to live in if not for the government. And most of those problems don't...

    It's crazy that Disney is okay with that, but fired Gina Carano for basically pointing out the inconvenient.

    It's bizarre to me they haven't merged any servers yet. There are probably between 5 and 8 servers with what'd be a "healthy" population (not full, but close to full). And then like 70 of them that are all but empty.

    Yes, they were so afraid of him that they chased him down and tried to beat the shit out of (and possibly kill) him. Had the mob wanted to, they could've easily overwhelmed him.

    Black dude just straight up lies, and Maher says the incredibly bold, "If the cops aren't going to do the job, the answer can't be the citizens have full police power." You fucking what? So...just lawlessness then?

    Our bug out location is my wife's uncle (assuming we can make it there with the interstates not being a shit show).

    It's not really completely apples to apples, but we had M4's and M9's as our "battle kit." The M9 was basically only for when someone was on top of you (just before you go to hand to hand), or if you're just totally fucked and out of ammo for any other options. There's a reason you see the...

    Really I think the bulk of it can be explained by "too much money." We're printing trillions that is injected into the economy and ultimately ends up in the market or company balance sheets. And the Fed is still injecting trillions more, and has been for a decade.

    Unfortunately, no. The last couple years have proven it takes a lot for the "right" to do what needs to be done. This barely registers. We've got a lot more pain to come before his fears come true.

    Wow, went over to the Reddit for it, which almost always has people excusing shit for the developers and it's 100% negative. This game is dead. Less than 50k players in US East on a Friday evening. Shit, my server is at 25% capacity apparently. None of them are at capacity.

    I mean, a lot of people my age have teenagers (or shit, even kids starting college). And I was in high school during Columbine. To think that the violent video game argument holds water anymore is insane.

    That's my thought too. And I mentioned before I'm super surprised they didn't add any worthwhile cosmetics. With everything they've done, it looks more and more like they just want to kill this and use the server space for something else.

    So basically they implemented even more features that punish the remaining players. "Shit isn't grindy enough!" It's like they're actively trying to drive off the player base.

    How many ended up on the jury though? I've never made it very far in the jury process (they've always just dismissed everyone because we weren't needed), but generally there'd be like 50+ people show up. I imagine not all go to selection, but I could be wrong. If it's 15/50, that's pretty shit...

    You should really read The Office According to The Office. You're a textbook loser. I am too. We spend some time playing the game and realize the game is shit. So we show up, put the minimal amount of effort in to not get fired, and bide our time until retirement. Think Stanley from the show...

    I think that's the new plan for everything. Using the judiciary as a weapon. Even if they you're not found guilty, it'll still probably bankrupt you, or at the very least, destroy your name so you can't function in society anymore. They basically took cancel culture and added a twist to it.

    It's the attitude of urbanites. They don't give a shit about their neighbors, because there are thousands of neighbors. Nothing good comes from living in cities.
