Funny, I don't remember a Gallup poll on fan reaction to the new Barret. It's almost like Kotaku, ground zero in the culture-war-as-clickbait disease, sees the opportunity to bitch about something while harvesting clicks, without the slightest evidence. But how could that be? That would be like... I don't know... monetizing outrage.
But I'm sure that they actually have a carefully designed poll to gauge "fan" reaction, as opposed to asking a handful of soy-boy colleagues in the desks next to them (who never even played the original)...
Did you unironically call someone "soy boy?"
Yep, it's my "Beamer call." I figure you hear "soy" and just assume you've been summoned.

Awww, poor doggie. And yeah, you have to hold them down to get them to let you help them, silly things.
It sort of reminds me of that video where a dolphin had gotten entangled in a fishing line, it was wrapped all around its fin, and the dolphin found two divers and was able to persuade the divers to cut the line off. That video always makes me smile.
Anyway, thanks for helping the doggie, Blue!
there's also video of a humpback whale being freed from a fishing net, and afterwards it followed the boat around for an hour and breached for them dozens of times.

Yes, but you could argue that this is a problem - in part at least - of their own making because they don't allow players to host their and moderate their own servers.
No it wouldn't. In fact every judge would ask that question. If there are alternatives, why aren't you taking them? Get an education, kid.

I'm always amused when a place full of people with $2k+ computers that do barely more than a cheaper computer, that upgrade components regularly, act like a 2013 phone is perfectly fine for everyone and only an idiot finds reason to upgrade.
Some people use their phones like those here use their GPUs. There's luxury to it at that point, for both. And it's fine, for both.
Sometimes, on some topics, this place goes full Luddite.

So - could the Titan RTX support raytracing at WQHD at 30 fps? Could it really happen? Find out for just $2,500! Buy two and give one to your friend at Christmas!![]()

Imagine how rich Vanderbilt and Rockefeller would have been with today's taxes. Their wealth (adjusted for inflation) probably still would not have been topped.

Technically, his "choice" was to sleep with an adult.
In the same way that when you buy a sack of flour at the grocery store, you did not choose to buy a brick of cocaine.

Well Creston most assuredly never has seen that movie or read mangas where this idea dates back at least 30 years, or read the Hunger games books for that matter...

NN didn't exist until 2015. Can someone explain to me why the world didn't fall apart in the 20 years preceding 2015 and it will happen now? I just don't get why the sky is falling by going back to pre-2015 models.
Yes, all sorts of bad stuff might happen but why didn't the whole internet fall apart before 2015? Why didn't all of those negatives completely take over the business model of the internet like they are predicted to now (by going back to the pre-2015 model).
Yes, I am oversimplifying but there was no NN pre-2015 and I don't remember everyone's head exploding on a daily basis on this board.
Two years from now when his ISP makes him buy a package of websites he can access for $49.99 a month in addition to his regular service fee of $149 for 10/2mbps, in addition to Netflix having to charge him $75 a month to make up for the fees charged to it by Comcast/AT&T/Verizon (THEY'RE RIDING OUR PIPES FOR FREE!)
maybe he'll get it. I mean, probably not, but maybe. After it, it was a whole two years ago that all ISPs were fucking over Netflix to shake money out of them, and all the Ajit Pai asskissers conveniently have forgotten that. Or how about AT&T BLOCKING facetime traffic because they wanted to force people to use AT&T shitty videocomms app? Or blocking payment systems to force people to use their own shitty wallet system? They don't remember any of that.
So yeah, there's no need to worry. The sky won't fall, everything will be fine. Trust the ISPs. Competition will keep them honest, even if 99% of them have no competition anywhere.
I would roll my eyes, but I'd have to do it so hard I'm worried it'd hurt my neck.
snip Hmmm.

I think it's funny how prestigious studios like CD Projekt Red snipe EA with that cunty tweet saying: "We'll leave greed to others" while The Witcher 3 released with 2 $30 DLC content packs.
The whole thing is such a mess.
EA fucked up the implementation, but I still think the overall strategy is a direction that the industry needs to go, ESPECIALLY for multiplayer games. I can't be dealing with segmenting the community 2 months after launch based on who bought the season pass or not.
For all the shitstorm furore that the piss poor progression implementation wrought, people have lost track of the one actually redeeming feature of this model. NO SEASON PASS.
Seriously... have you gone FULL retard, bro? What. the. actual. fuck.
The game having MTs instead of a fucking shitty season pass is like "hey guys we're not serving dog shit this year but instead you'll get a nice cat shit pie ... ya like?".
And YOU fell for it, you flaming idiot.
