  • I mean, it’s been here for beta years and yes, it is absolutely fantastic. The one year penalty keeps me from handing it out like candy to extended family and friends (plus we all have that cousin who can’t be trusted) while I can let my wife and kids play games on my account without them kicking me out of mine.

    The parental controls are good too, although I’m not using them yet since my kids are too young to really pick their games from the library themselves.






  • I mean, if it was any other ally surrounded by countries that hate them, I’d understand this policy. If Israel wasn’t lead by a dickhead and their regime, I’d understand this policy. They literally only exist as a country with our support.

    But as is stands now, it’s a carrot we should use to leverage peace and, in an ideal world, push for a better coexistence with people they’ve historically shit on. Giving it away for ‘free’ makes little sense aside from fear of losing their support and by extension, the election.

    If we didn’t have foreign money, or PACs in general, would this be different? I would imagine it would be, if we could just fix that shitty system.



  • I know this is a shitpost but I was oddly proud while playing GTA5 as a Californian. The satire was so fucking spot on but I adore Franklin and live more or less in the area he lived (so much so the VA for Lamar signed a Lamar headshot for a deli I go to). It sucks for a ton of reasons but the people are genuine.

    I work in Brentwood too, which is more or less where Michael lives. I hate those pricks and it might as well be a documentary. I have family up in Fresno, and that’s more or less where Trevor lives. We don’t visit certain cousins cause of meth, and it also sucks. Hell, I even know a yoga instructor who might as well say we must breathe through our anoose.

    But the thing is? They satirized my home, and did it with so much love and care that I know their writers have lived here enough. And it is just satire. There’s a lot more to these places than what you see in the game, haha (except Brentwood, fuck those guys).






  • Would clarifying words have helped? “If you only sailed with forward force…” or “Following along the surface of the earth…” or… what?

    Obviously they mean that you don’t need to make any turns and that straight means an arc around the earth and not through the Earth, unless someone has a very different idea what sailing means…
