IDK why this is downvoted; it’s literally the zipper that causes this bulge by being stiffer and less likely to bend like the rest of the material used for the jacket/hoodie/pants.

At least on a jacket or hoodie, you can push it up so the bulge is on your chest or something. Can’t really do that with jeans when the zipper is just on the crotch.

You should only hate it if it makes it look like your boner is smaller than it actually is. No reason to hate it when it’s flattering. 😌

and falsely claimed he is “despised” by Ukrainians, echoing Donald Trump’s rhetoric.

Falsely? Oh, he meant Zelensky, not himself. Nvm.

The reviews are also a massive point, and would be inherently untrustworthy in a federated version.

The reviews on Amazon are so often very obviously bots, that they aren’t really trustworthy at all. What the hell is inherently untrustworthy about federation? 🤨

So… Postmates/Instacart but using activitypub for… Some reason?

“How about instead of words, we fill books with numbers?”

20% of 0 is still 0, Donny-boy.

Heck, at some point I was seeing torrent clients advertising features that let you block connections to people who weren’t uploading and only downloading.

The only thing that doesn’t make it perfect for me is the fact that so many games running on PC, even if they have a console version, don’t have UI scaling options to make anything readable at TV distance.

BUT there is a big difference this time around, specifically: they’re no longer using their own engine. That does change the equation.

I feel like it would be a negative change though, as they haven’t worked with any other engine since… Forever.

I’m gonna just assume it won’t be any different than the crowd system of Assassin’s Creed; which wasn’t even all that impressive back when that first came out.

They said CP2077 would do things no other game did. That was a lie. They are also claiming a new IP they are working on will do the same. I don’t really trust them when they say they will be doing something that’s never been done before because they can barely make things that have been done to death work properly. And honestly, even the best designers have made that promise and failed to deliver, so whenever I hear the phrase “never seen in a game before” I usually just check out because it’s never been true.

They are amazing at the artistic side of things (the visuals, the audio, the story-telling); but when it comes to the technical side? They are pretty bad.

Yes, please. Make it super fast, and super shitty so it crashes the first time Trump uses it.

Wokeness and DEI? At GameStop? I’ve never even seen anyone other than high school aged white dudes working there.

Maybe if they had done that with brand new games and not just a few good but old games and tons of games nobody has even heard of before. It’s not really even in the same league as just genuinely being cheaper than the competition. It’s a gimmick. Steam also sometimes gives games away for free, while still having tons of deep discounts all year long.

I’m the same. I’ll look on Steam first just because I would prefer to keep all my shit in one place, but if it’s not the cheapest price I’ll get it somewhere else. Although 90% of the time, the cheapest price is just a steam key being sold by a 3rd party (I like Eneba, personally).

The one time Epic was cheaper, was when they gave out Civ6 for free. I bought the two major DLC expansions through Epic instead of buying everything on Steam just because I didn’t have to buy the base game and the DLCs were $10 cheaper anyway.

Februwuary.

Being consistently cheaper would actually be attractive to many people. The thing is, none of these competitors can even muster that. Steam consistently has better sales, more often. And it’s pretty funny seeing Amazon of all things not able to match or beat that. They are known for undercutting the competition, even at their own expense, just to get customers; It’s literally how they got to be as big as they are.

Sweet! They’re giving would-be assassins the perfect way to get close to their target! 😃

Guess I’ll have to dust off my old dedicated PhysX card from the mid 2000’s. Shit… I think that thing is AGP not even PCIE 🤔

If I did anything other than use my PC as a glorified gaming console, I might care about w10 not being updated anymore. Until games literally can’t work on the OS, I’ll stay on it. And when they do stop working, I’ll probably just install Linux.

Bullshit. I only know about how awesome Buster Keaton is because of memes. Memes are how I even came to know about the Great Dictator. Before that, I thought Chaplain was only in silent movies.
