Matt Walsh is a nerd who can't have fun during a hurricane. Everyone knows hurricanes are like snowdays.

People have been saying this game is exciting because of the lack of mtx, but it seems to me that any big rpg gets a lot of attention. Eldan Ring got similar praise last year. Bioware was making these kinds of games fairly consistently about a decade ago and then stopped to make shit like Anthem. It's a design decision not a budget problem.

Kojima got away with his product placement in mgs3 because nobody in the west knew calorie mate was a real product lol.

Yes, DeSantis schtick is getting old. It's not a real policy. Most people don't even have a clear view of what woke is even supposed to mean.
Even Trump doesn't care for it.
“I don’t like the term ‘woke’ because I hear ‘woke woke woke.’ It’s just a term they use, half the people can’t even define it, they don’t know what it is,” Donald Trump

True. Dallas and Houston have a lot of tech too, but Austin has become San Francisco 2 fairly recently. Dell was the big home grown tech company a lot of these other companies and start ups are from California. Nobody would accuse Dallas of being like San Francisco because it's more traditional corporate tech. I think sxsw attracted a lot of people from California.

Well from my perspective it's not that people hate California it's that they hate the influx of Californians in their state. Tons of tech people moved from San Francisco to Austin and now it's near unrecognizable. Austin a long time ago used to be a small city with a lot of charm now it's the tenth largest city in the US. It's not just Californians moving their but they are the biggest group and they are pretty loud about where they come from.
Everything gets more expensive, they bring some of their failed policies with them, and there are a lot of weird ideas that come out of California. I don't mean your generic lefty policies that may upset some old timers in Texas but like the weird transhumanism shit that tech people are obsessed with. It feels like a cult, another thing California is known for, and it's basically the opposite vibe of what Austin used to be. I personally have met a lot of Californians I really like but it's not hard to see the culture clash. Also when I say California I really mean San Francisco and LA, not like Sacramento or the other parts of California. It's the tech people, the Hollywood people, and the groupies they aquire. They leave California due to costs and it's somewhat chaotic nature but then start to transform their new home into California.
If you've ever met old timers in Texas you know great don't like change. They talk about building an overpass as a sign of the apocalypse. So that's where I assume most of the hate comes from.

Lemmy feels like the first real alternative to reddit. Everything else was a ghost town or had no moderation so only banned subs would move. This recent exodus won't kill reddit but it created a viable reddit alternative for when they inevitably do something worse. Reddit ran as a number 2 to digg for years before digg screwed up. I can see the same happening here.

This was the hundreds of dollars of sushi COMPED shooter if I remember. Extremely fishy all around. Also what was this guy supposed to do? Fly up to the window and kick his ass?

Like calling someone a tankie, woke, or a fascist you don't really need to know the definition of money laundering. You just point it at someone you don't like and hope it catches on.

I live in Houston. Probably the least pedestrian friendly city on earth. I would still walk over paying that.

Speaking of which whatever happened to FuchsiaOS? Did they kill it? It would be a shame if they did. I was interested in it because it was an open source OS that wasn't Linux or bsd based.

I know there is some controversy with the ads and that it's closed source but wow this app is really nice. I never used it for reddit I used rif so I didn't understand the hype but I get it now. I'm holding out for an app with multireddit though. That's the one feature I really want.

Get ready for more unhinged shit like this soon because the only reason this show exists was the 2007 writers strike. If it weren't for them introducing the financial instinctive of golden stars I'm pretty sure it would have turned into Lord of the flies. The first episode they were all at each other's throats and the dynamic changed after there was a prize to be won by working together.
I'm expecting more crazy reality and game shows soon. And maybe AI tv too. Either way it's going to get weird fast. The studio executives all think of themselves as creatives and they will throw out every insane thing they can think of to get your attention.

I'd say they are just moving away from the tacky bikini outfits from the PS2 era. I think katana and mileena look great. I think people have rose colored glasses when it comes to the character models for mk 9 they look much better now. As for the gameplay I won't know until I play it but from what I see it looks more like MkX than mk11. I agree with you that SF6 will be hard to beat. I think it's my favorite street fighter since 3.

Is Tanya being a bit ugly that much of a controversy? Game looks awesome and much faster paced than 11. The cameos are much better than the customizable characters imo.

Sony bought Nixxes Software which made them a lot of successful PC ports. They saw great success with their first ports and really only saw major issues with the Last of Us. Their ports are generally pretty good and if they have bugs they get fixed. It costs a lot of money to do this and your conspiracy theory about them doing it just to say it failed is silly. They could just be like Nintendo and give a hard no to PC ports but obviously they see potential in it.
It's sad that rachet and clank failed because now they will be less likely to port lesser known titles. I really want them to port the gravity rush games but it's looking less likely.
