The stupidest part is that of fucking COURSE there are zero tariffs if you move to the US, because tariffs are BY DEFINITION placed on imports. There’s no limit to the fuckery he can apply to you domestically, it’s just guaranteed not to be called “tariffs”.

True, sure. I’m just saying the overall price of games has gone down significantly over time. An upward correction makes some sense. I’m not cheering it on, just trying to help frame the circumstances.

Ocarina of Time cost $116.91 at launch, accounting for inflation.

Edit: the original Legend of Zelda cost $144.89 at launch, also after inflation.

Yeah, it has its flaws, but I think if you just give it a chance and don’t obsess over the Star Warsness of it, it’s just a fun movie.

As an American, I am not an accelerationist, but I am somewhat darkly satisfied to see the military industrial complex reach the Find Out stage.

Amanita minute to get ready for some real talk in this thread.

You seem like a fungi

A couple random ones:

Sneakers is the OG hacker film. If you haven’t seen it, it’s an absolute must. It’s a computer-driven heist film from the 90’s and even though the tech aged, the movie holds up beautifully.

Believe it or not, I’m gonna recommend Solo: A Star Wars Story. It is, at its heart, a sci-fi heist flick.

Get in losers, we’re going rotting.

List of things that needed to be improved upon from the original film:

That game was the mutt’s nuts. I’m still looking for a good way to replay it. I still remember how blown away I was when, in classic Bond fashion, it just threw me into a completely badass car chase/sniper mission before even showing a title screen.

Fun fact: there was a GBA port that, while it is pretty clunky in a lot of ways, is also unbelievably ambitious for the platform. Full 3D engine, multiple paths through levels, etc. It’s worth trying if you’re a big Nightfire and/or retro technology nerd.

They already staged a coup to install him.

Starting soon isn’t the same as rushing. I’m with you - he’s batting 1.000 so far.

He’s only doing what he’s doing because of the smart evil that got him where he is though.

Smart evil is so much scarier than stupid evil.

Fuck yeah Canada. More of this please.

Private business

• that everyone needs to live
• that can’t profit without subsidies
• that has no competitors in its market
• that has growth potential defined strictly by external factors

It’s insane that this isn’t nationalized immediately. Privatizing it in the first place is the work of people who are corrupt as hell, inhumanly evil, dumb as rocks, or, most likely, all of the above.

Wave can stay dead though. I’m okay with that.

Google has sucked for a very long time. They’re greedy, monopolistic sociopaths that scrubbed “don’t be evil” from their principles pretty much the second there was a buck to be had from it.

Obviously. That’s what brown people do, right? The clearly authoritative (checks notes) rich white Nazi on TV told me.
