@Inglebard4 @dreadfulsean Steam has been around what like 20 years and I've never heard this happening. Even when they pull stuff from the store you still keep your copy and can redownload it anytime. They have 0 incentive to change now. No shareholders to please.

@dreadfulsean With GoG you own stuff, yes. With Steam you don't. And 30% of your purchase goes to Valve who can remove your access to download games you paid for at any time. They haven't been as bad as Sony, but I wouldn't count on that lasting forever.

Something else I don't get. If you're mad at Sony for dropping physical why the f*ck are you switching to PC? I'm multiplat myself and fine with my PC games, but why is it OK to get digital only games on PC but not PS? And yes, I'd prefer Sony keep physical discs an option.

@lie_sheet_steel @AdamJSmithy Confirmation bias like all 48 teams having VAR interventions other than Argentina despite the most fouls.

@AdamJSmithy Confirmation bias man, you’re seeing things to validate that thought

It’s actually insane in the history of football how much Argentina have got away with? Some of these challenges are utter filth AGAIN🤦‍♂️

@BelizeanDreamin @MKH2K9 @NextGenPlayer Also for the gamefreak game situations, I expect it's Microsoft giving them more money to feature the game on there more than it is then choosing it for their own benefit. I've never once heard of a studio say gamepass is great for them.

@BelizeanDreamin @MKH2K9 @NextGenPlayer You're right for Indies or unknown big budget games it's probably great. It just seems it's quite common for most people to play the specific games they want then cancel it. I'll forget an $8 Disney+ sub but not a $20 one gamepass. Also many likely have contractual obligations.

Jason Schreier says Xbox studio leaders absolutely hate Game Pass “There are a lot of people out there in studio leadership within Xbox who absolutely detest game pass and think it has destroyed the value of their games, think it has taken away the value from all games in general and has been a detriment to the games industry in those people's view, because of how it devalues games” ▶️ 29 minute mark: maximumfun.org/episodes/tripl…

@ZheWolf2 @More2Me_4Life I would say dated is accurate because we're saying modern engines have superior features. Thus it's dated even if it comes out in 2030.

@AlexDirdara @More2Me_4Life But that's a different thing than calling it dated. Low quality can come from being dated but it's not dependent on the age of the engine

Cool another project on a dated engine

@ZheWolf2 @More2Me_4Life No but the engine has sucked every generation so there's no reason to expect any different.

@More2Me_4Life Calling Creation Engine 3 dated like Elder Scrolls 6 isn't the first game on it is wild. Starfield was Creation Engine 2. You don't call Unreal Engine 5 dated

@heithyboi @sushiravager @More2Me_4Life Yeah warhorse with kcd did everything Bethesda does and more on it.

@sushiravager @More2Me_4Life CryEngine does both while also not having cells. I'd argue the physics arent quite as good tho but the NPC routines and interactions it can handle are better than any Bethesda game. Honestly if they ever move away from it they should move to the CryEngine

@BelizeanDreamin @MKH2K9 @NextGenPlayer No we're just not shocked that devs hate it. I've beaten like a dozen full priced games on gamepass and paid maybe 4 months of gamepass. That's like buy one get 11 free for a full priced game. It was never gonna benefit them lol. Yes they bet on volume, but the bet failed.

@MKH2K9 @NextGenPlayer Are yall implying that consumer friendly practices are bad? 🤔 This stupid sarcastic replies are exactly why these corps turn into Sony lmao

@JoelWBerry The God of revival and miracles is the Christian God. Yours is the fire and brimstone one. You don't get the loving God of the new testament without accepting Jesus as the Messiah.

Wooo! This blew up! For something that is impossible, something that will never, ever, ever happen in a million years, there sure are a ton of furious anonymous antisemites desperately raging to prevent it from happening. If a widespread revival and rebirth of love for Israel among Christians is impossible, why work so desperately to prevent it? There’s no peace in these people’s souls. No rest. No confidence. I don’t know for sure what’s going to happen, but I know God, and I’m on his side. He is a God of revival and miracles. I also know that the truth always finds a way out, no matter how many lies are being told. I feel fine about my position.

@Arruke @ContraPoints He did for clavicular who stormed out of the interview.

@ContraPoints idk if andrew is equipped to deal with fuentes, he's not dumb and he's very charismatic, the problem with interview material like this is that he will get people on his side because andrew is mostly not ready to make him look dumb in this format imo

Is Nick Fuentes politically correct? no. but is he a good interviewer? also no. and is he popular? not really. but does he appeal to the white working class? also no. but shouldn’t we all come together to take our country back from the corrupt elites? again, no

@KevinButterhof @ContraPoints Right, he was on Tucker Carlson's podcast and on with Piers Morgan, both with mainstream appeal. Yeah someone's random Republican dad might not know him, but that goes for almost every online commentator. I hate him too but what's the point of being wrong.

@ContraPoints I don’t like Nick Fuentes at all. But that’s some serious copium that he’s “not really popular”.

@arberx_ America just isn't good at soccer. It's as simple as that.

Can I say something about the state of US soccer and why it doesn't live up? Think people are overcomplicating it. The rest of the world only has soccer, our kids grow up wanting to be football, basketball, hockey and baseball players. Simple as that imo

@elesar_hunter @Bruh208247 @Joelspam123 @FearedBuck "ego death" comes from very high doses. Millions of people do them recreationally at parties and stuff with no issue.

@Bruh208247 @Joelspam123 @FearedBuck Its literally worst thing you cna do. Its forcing ego death on urself when ur not ready Many people crash out You need God and quality blunt,no need to go over the top. Keep it simple my friends. Youre not tapping into secrets of universe no matter what ur junkie firends say

Looksmaxxing YouTuber Connor Murphy has passed away at age 31

@PDXSeahawksFan @Bumperpunk @mattlabelle It's a separate conversation, you don't have to be upset that you misread my post. The context about Olympic hockey and the NHL was about the USA vs Canada, not sport popularity.

@AlexDirdara @Bumperpunk @mattlabelle You say no one watches the superbowl and want to talk about Hockey like alot of people watch it lol..

Cue the U.S. sports fans saying, “If we cared about soccer as much as American football we’d have 6 Messis and 5 Ronaldos” or my favorite, “this tournament doesn’t matter anyway” You finished the same place as Canada just two days later 😂

@PDXSeahawksFan @Bumperpunk @mattlabelle Yes I said Olympic hockey.

@AlexDirdara @Bumperpunk @mattlabelle

@Jiren_us @MalsSports @RickSmithrrtn @mattlabelle Genuinely curious though, what makes them more expensive? It would seem to me like they play in smaller venues and have similar outfits and the only real gear is the glove and mit. I can see how size matters in basketball but less so in baseball.

@AlexDirdara @MalsSports @RickSmithrrtn @mattlabelle Well not including the Olympics because ur saying 1 sport. But anyways. Basketball and Baseball were invented in the US. Both Basketball and Baseball are more expensive than soccer thats why. Also what ur ignoring is becoming a pro in said sports size and physicality matters

@Jiren_us @MalsSports @RickSmithrrtn @mattlabelle I'm saying the sports the US cares about are the ones no one else cares about. The only sport with world wide appeal on this scale is soccer and both America and Canada suck.

@AlexDirdara @MalsSports @RickSmithrrtn @mattlabelle What point are u making btw? USA still doesnt care about soccer that much

@MalsSports @RickSmithrrtn @mattlabelle I'll give you Japan for baseball too. 😇

@MalsSports @RickSmithrrtn @mattlabelle Sure, they can have foreign players, anyone can learn, but no one cares. The world series is us and Canada only. Beyond the US and Canada participation is inconsistent. The biggest views those sports get are 2 percent of what Fifa gets.

@RickSmithrrtn @MalsSports @mattlabelle I'm sorry if the truth hurts and the other 7.7 billion people in the world don't care about the sports you're good at. 🫡

@AlexDirdara @MalsSports @mattlabelle You’re a literal retard 😂
