    Battlefield 2042

    I mean, it's launched enough where so many people are playing and skewering it for being a shit show...including all the streamers. You think people are going to see that and be like, "well, technically the game isn't released so I'm going to buy this clown show game anyway!"

    Battlefield 2042

    Why would they have a game this fucked up that a patch a week in could fix? You'd assume they would've fixed the stuff earlier if it was that easy. I keep bringing up New World because of the money behind the studio. These things don't just magically get fixed. This one is going to be a shit...

    Call it unconfirmed speculation then? It's not disinfo. What about all the lies the prosecutor spouted in his closing?

    In fairness, I don't think most people are looking to get jury duty. It's one of those "fuck, I got called for jury duty" reactions generally. I've always thought it'd be interesting to be on one, but having seen how stupid jurors "of my peers" are, I'd rather not have to spend my time debating...

    "This needs to be flagged as disinfo!" These fucking people, man. Anything to shut down someone they disagree with.

    This game is amazing. They apparently did zero QA. I'm enjoying watching these videos.

    Forza Horizon 5

    Ah, not for me then. So does anyone enjoy the trailblazers? It's probably my least favorite part of the game, but I feel like I need to 3 star them. Feels like they should be renamed "hope you don't hit a tree" races.

    @Zog this seems a bit harsh in retrospect. Didn't mean to be an asshole, just more of a check on you that you thought you were coming to some grand conclusion, but it's really something taught in intro business school (undergrad).

    I mean, the initial lie was that he didn't even attack her. Wasn't it an armed rape?

    New World

    They can't roll back when they've never fixed the problem that's causing all the dupes. And from what I understand, they're mostly all coming from the fact that they handed off so much to the clients to authenticate. Essentially meaning the game is irreparably broken. They built it on a...

    Uh, yeah, no shit? Did you finally get around to taking an intro business course? Everyone knows bond yields have an inverse relationship with inflation rates.

    True. FatWallet used to have forums (maybe they still do). I remember back in 2005 or so and tons of us were calling the housing market bubble. It was incredibly obvious. Maybe not obvious in that the CDO's would implode the economy, but the overall trend was there.

    I enjoy these videos, but I dunno, they all seem the same. I guess I'll start by saying apparently this shit is obvious. FoH has been talking about the money supply being the cause of inflation for the entire year. But maybe it's because we're always ahead of the curve (the "Politics" type...

    I haven't watched any of the trial, not just the closing arguments. I mean it sounds like the defense bungled the entire thing. If Kyle is found not guilty, it will have nothing to do with the defense, and comes down entirely to how ridiculous it is he's even in this predicament. I played some...

    I haven't watched any of this trial, but from reading your comments and Twitter commentary, it sounds like his defense was fucking terrible. Probably as bad as the prosecution. The only saving grace for Kyle is that the case is such a joke against him that it's incredibly hard to fuck up. And...

    Honestly, there's not much besides things like commodities, real estate, cryptocurrency or metals. With interest rates so low, it makes everything else kind of shit. It's also (at least in my opinion) why the stock market keeps going up and up. With nowhere else to put your money, it all ends...

    Red Notice

    This might be one of the truest things ever said in a movie thread. This movie went hard on the Wilhelm screams. It was a decent popcorn flick, but as said, you really have to turn your brain off.

    Teenagers aren't usually eligible for unemployment, hence why there's no correlation there. In fact, if you look at the labor participation charts, they're the only group that's back to pre pandemic levels of employment. Mostly because it's their only source of income.

    I'm not sure if it's all in my head, but I feel like I'm definitely winning by a lot more with manual shifting. I'm not sure why, since the game seems to do really well at up shifting (it obviously never down shifts unless you brake, hit something, or just let off the accelerator completely)...

    The problem is they just ignore that shit. Like with New World where problems persisted from early alpha into release. Game developers just got lazy. Or their leadership is dog shit.

    Forza Horizon 5

    I think I just did a rewind on the jump and tried again and got it. I finally tried to make things a bit harder and turned ABS off and went with manual shifting. Didn't like how braking without ABS felt though, so turned that back on. Manual shifting made the game take so much more...

    Battlefield 2042

    It's amazing how many AAA type games are just complete coding disasters, not to mention just unfinished. Like just in a month we had New World and this. It seems to be the new normal, and it's likely because like you said, people keep buying them. And worse, excusing it.

    Doesn't surprise me one bit. I've put tens of thousands of rounds down range, just out of sheer luck to be in a unit that had almost unlimited ammo (I've probably put more MK19 and RPG rounds down range than most people have shot the firearms in their own homes). Even under ideal circumstances...

    Finished all the season events finally, outside of Arcade which is a shit show, and the dailies. The difference between say, unbeatable drivatars and the average ones I've been going against seems pretty slim. I actually don't quite understand the difficulty settings because they seem almost...

    I tried several. Lotus Exige, Audi TT, and finally, Subaru BRZ Every single time on that first race, the AI would take off like they had a 1 second 0-60 and I'd never catch up (the top 3-4 cars would end up with a 10-20 second lead). What ended up working for me was driving like a reckless...

    Dune (2020)

    As someone who never read the book nor ever watched anything Dune related, and even went into this blind without watching a trailer, I really enjoyed it. It was a bit confusing at times, mostly due to lots of whispering dialogue and then scenes where they switched from English to whatever made...

    Really enjoyed this one before they even got to the review part. This is one I remember watching as a kid, but I don't apparently remember much about it because their synopsis and the scenes they showed didn't seem familiar.

    So I finally got around to the Horizon Open and that was pretty darn fun. The loading times waiting for other players kind of sucks though. Think I finished 5th. Some of the guys who got first were just lightyears ahead of everyone else. Feel like that'd be one that's a lot of fun with a group...

    Yeah, I really don't want to do the Willy thing, but I feel like I have no choice if I want a Sesto. Basically, everyone else is cheating, so if I don't, I just don't get one. Kinda sucks.

    So this season championship (the hot hatch one anyway) seemed way easier than the last one. I normally play on average, so 2 settings below, and I don't think I'm particularly good at this game (or racing games in general). Won the first track by almost 5 seconds, the second was kind of tougher...
