@FrezshDraws To be fair, I trust the blue angels to pull this off, my concern is that this is now tacit permission to violate rules as long as it’s cool. The next time it will be a less trained pilot and people will be reminded why there were rules in the first place.

glad to see why were folks even moaning about safety lmfao like, do you know how these guys fly regularly… as one of the most elite flight teams in the world?

@kpb_rolling @markyzaguirre Regardless of pop density, a high speed train for that distance is still way more convenient than flying. Even if the number of trains was cut in half, the lack of security and location of the train station alone makes it worth while.

@JakeMartyniuk @markyzaguirre That Tokyo and Kyoto have totally different levels of population density. I think trains from airports to city centers make great sense. Even more sensible would be to let folks clear security on the train. Way cheaper than building high speed rail. See how that's going in CA.

Choo-choo train enthusiasts are some of the most tiresome people in America. Yes, let’s spend billions of dollars and prioritize a high-speed train between Charlotte and Atlanta. The masses are crying out for that!

@kpb_rolling @markyzaguirre To say nothing of the train stations being in the heart of the city while the airports are far from everything.

@kpb_rolling @markyzaguirre You can get to Kyoto from Tokyo in around 2 hours which is about 300 miles. The trains are every 20 min and you can show up 15 min before without a ticket and not go through a security. It’s about $100 compared to $250 one way from Dallas to Houston. Not sure what you’re saying.

@kpb_rolling @markyzaguirre If you think the airlines would pummel high speed trains between those cities, you’ve never used a high speed train.

@markyzaguirre It’s truly insane. Could it makes sense between Dallas, Houston, and Austin? Maybe but even then it would be such a niche product that the airlines can pummel with frequency.

@DaxMcCarty11 Hard to say that’s clear and obvious for VAR to intervene.

I’m not quite at the level of the “games gone” choir yet, but I’m getting dangerously close. Let’s just scrap refs all together and have a robot overlord call every single thing exactly to the letter of the law. That’s where we are headed.

@afcjxmes A proper striker pretending to be a Spanish CDM.

All of this is just stalling while we wait for Merino's eventual winner

@myarsenaljourn @cmbftbl Same

@cmbftbl Literally my first thought when it was given.

That Kane penalty got me thinking…. #NeverForget

@Jimqymy @Daniel_Rapaport What exactly is serious foul play there? He had no idea where the defender was and he was off balance due to the defender crashing into him.

@Daniel_Rapaport Accident or not it’s still a red card

What a horrific, awful, horrible decision. Watch the game with your eyes. Balogun steps on the guy on accident. Potentially ruining our World Cup on a play that wasn’t even given a yellow in real time.

@mxdric Counter point: defenders shouldn’t make challenges like that in the 122nd minute of a World Cup KO game. If you go to ground and miss the ball you are giving the ref a decision to make.

You can not give a penalty for that in the 122nd minute of a World Cup KO game. I'm sorry man it's just not enough for a game of this magnitude

@Puertorock77_ Seems pretty close to me. This was that price on 6/11.

Current price of Ragnarok on PSN versus physical at Walmart.

@SenMikeLee But the vote is being turned into a federal agency (the post office) on or before Election Day. Only the post office can post mark the envelope so the ballot is cast on time. The post office ability to deliver mail should not disenfranchise people who turn in ballots on time.

Congress exercised its constitutional authority to designate one federal Election Day—not election week, not election month. This unfortunate decision further undermines trust in American elections and underscores the urgency of legislative action to secure them.

still waiting for Little Devil Inside lol

@Gthprince @JakeBaldino That seems to be the subgroup that makes sense, those with a steam library that basically want console convenience in their living room as a secondary PC. I think that group is going to be relatively small though which is a shame for valve.

@JakeMartyniuk @JakeBaldino I'd say people like me. I enjoyed building PCs, but now life has changed and that free time and money I had is spent elsewhere. This would allow me to play games on Steam with my son, while also allowing me to not have to invest as much into the process.

Steam Machine pricing is brutal. I know we saw it coming in this awful state of the current market but it still sucks. I'm a huge believer in the idea of this device for certain types of players, but I think this price defeats that purpose. Tough sell. I wish they could've waited. Obviously with no end in sight that's pretty hard...

@RobbDropTables @LP_CLC Exactly! This is not a theoretical concept, we have history to prove it.

@LP_CLC The market encourages dumping chemicals in the water instead of properly disposing of them.

Libertarians do not believe companies will "self-regulate out of the goodness of their hearts." That's a myth. Companies will do what they have to do to maintain market share and make a profit. This means they won't, as many poorly drawn memes suggest, deliberately poison their customers to save money. If they did that, their customers would die. What they will do is lobby the government and capture the regulators. That's why sugar is heavily tariffed and corn syrup is subsidized. That's why low fat diets were promoted by the government while sugar and twenty loaves of bread a day was deemed essential. That's why, when employees unite to negotiate for better wages or working conditions, companies have summoned the government to kill the strikers. Almost everything you hate about how corporations do business is a direct result of government action and regulatory capture. We also don't argue that things will be a perfect magical utopia if these regulations are removed. Perfect magical utopias don't exist. Not even if the government tries to regulate them into existence. We argue, instead, that eight billion people each making individual decisions about what they will buy and what they will sell , and the conditions under which they will do so, is better than a single top-down system imposed from above by bureaucrats who, inevitably, fall under the control of the biggest, wealthiest corporations. The role of government should be limited to protecting your rights to life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness - not restricting the choices you make that don't hurt other people.

@Big__TeeJ The ultra casual COD and FIFA players that spend a ton on microtransactions that PS gets 30% of? Yeah I’m sure PS is really regretting being their default box.

Hardware unit sales completely obfuscate market reality... Xbox can afford some exclusives because they routinely deliver nearly the same number of software sales on many multi-plat titles. PlayStation has a 3x hardware footprint, but they almost never see 3x the multi-plat sales. A massive percentage of their player base is ultra-casual... treating the console as a default box for yearly sports games and COD, and basically nothing else. The actual core gaming market is much closer than the hardware gaps make it look.

@kennylight003 @RinoTheBouncer The only made the first and second I believe. After that deck nine took over and made the others.

@RinoTheBouncer Life is strange 1 fan here. Unfortunately they did not heed the fans wishes when we begged for a conclusion for max and Chloe back in the day. Until it was too late... People were not as connected with 2,3, so most of us had moved on or read a fanfic for closure lol.

REPORT: DON’T NOD studio financial situation is claimed to be bad, reserves are getting low and Tencent refuses to fund another game or increase capital🚀 “The outlook is bleak at Don't Nod: an audit report warns that the studio's cash reserves will be completely depleted by November.” Thoughts on the studio’s games?🤔 Source: Gautoz on BSKY

@NoFilterGames @RinoTheBouncer Yeah I really liked banishers a lot. It’s the prototypical AA game. It does some really interesting things, the world is beautiful, vibe is great, writing is amazing but combat is just ok. That game deserved a lot more love.

Aphelion and Banishers are the worst marketed games in the past few years. Aphelion is a great sci-fi adventure. Their launch came and went like a fart in the breeze. Banishers is one of the best games in the last five years but no one knew about it. How do you not promote a game that got stellar ratings in both console stores?!?!

@jeremyct That’s nearly a 12% year over year growth compounding for 23 years so either this is made up (highly likely) or the value of her house has increased 1333% which means she has a ton of equity in her home to help her fixed income.

My mom paid off her house in 2003. Thought that was it. Thought she was done. Thought it was finally hers. Property taxes were $1,800 a year back then. She’s retired now. Fixed income. Same house. Same neighborhood. Property taxes are $24,000 a year. That’s $2,000 a month. On a house she already paid for. She’s 71 years old and the government sends her a bill every year just to stay in her own home. You never really own anything in America. You just make payments to a different landlord.
