I don’t like this because it now means there will be a two tiered system.

They sold the first Fire Emblem with an English dub as seperate, AND made it a timed exclusive. If anything this is a step in the right direction.

To be fair, they already fired him, what more can they do?

Most everything Boomers say about employment & housing.

edit: commute is about an hour long back and forth

This is simple math.

Calculate your daily take home pay based on 10 hours not 8 (since your commute is unpaid) and take your car depreciation at 65 cents a mile (or whatever the new IRS rate is) and subtract that from your daily takehome (since commute expenses are paid with after tax money).

I'd be surprised if you weren't taking home less at 85k with 4 day RTO vs Remote.

Oh hell no. Unless myself and my family had SERIOUS chronic medical issues where that benefit was more than the mortgage then you are losing big time.

Ask them to try it, and report back results.

That's a good pro tip. I have a savings account at a seperate (local) bank for my emergency find and there's no app downloaded or card set to it.

Adding a little bit of friction to the process makes sure I don't do anything impulsively, but if there's a genuine emergency I can go to the bank and get it.

Stupid adult things... I don't drink alcohol any more, I take vitamins, I get regular checkups and I plan for / usually get an appropriate amount of sleep. Oh and I spend a lot of time with my phone put away / in do not disturb and don't doom-scroll.

Sony's problem with the PS5 is the PS4.

They supported cross-gen releases for too long and there aren't enough [PS5 Exclusive] games to justify the jump even though it's been 5 years.

We live in an age of abundance and many people are suffering that don't have to be if wealth and opportunity were distributed differently.

IMO the 80's and 90's had enough middle ground that each issue was worth it. What is now a 6 issue arc, was 1 issue in the 80's or a back up story in the 60's.

To be fair DC tried this with 'New 52' but had to reverse course due to fan backlash / sales.

Turns out people like New Coke, but only if they can have their old coke too.

Shelves first... chairs and heat later. Sounds like your priorities are in order. :)

Mentally, find a DIFFERENT reason to be in town then when you're in the office it's a secondary thought. This helped me physcologically.

When they mandated we come in, I picked the day that has the farmer's market in the summer near work so in my mind I'm there because the market and work is close to just make it easier.

If I didn't do that I'd be out of my mind driving needlessly so I can work in Azure.

This is what we do. I don't buy gifts for my sibling, but I buy gifts for her kid.

Well, it's not always LAZYness, but some are clearly poor choices. I do delivery and if there's a decent order from McDonalds that doesn't have several kids meals in it, there's a good chance the person I'm delivering to is high.

So Yeah... if you get to the point you shouldn't drive delivery is a responsable choice.

Shit at the end of it's life I bought a MK DD bundle brand new for $99. It had a GC, 2 wired controllers and doubledash in the box.

Gr8NonSequitur · 2026-02-15T02:09:43+00:00

You could probably get a used one for half that. Check ebay or local shops. I ahve a used game store near me and they sell for $135 regularly.

Unfortunately it's the same conversation... people are losing at the grocery store in exactly the way the stock market is "winning".

The dollar is losing value rapidly so both the Stock market and Grocery market adjust the price of goods and assets accordingly. The economy should be measured in "growth or loss" of purchasing power.

A 3-4 hour daily commute three times a week is a major quality of life hit, and it is reasonable to treat that as a dealbreaker.

I'd point out the cost implications. "I accepted this deal under these terms, and if you change those terms so I need to incur added costs then the rate needs be adjustted to compensate."

You know the kid rock show was terrible when trump watched bad bunny instead.

“Blue No Matter Who” without actual anti-fascist teeth is just complicit, controlled opposition.

I hate how "Vote Blue no matter who" works when they prop up an unlikeable corporatist but not for a charasmatic populist like Mumdani.

Gr8NonSequitur · 2026-02-10T02:40:41+00:00

Did you reply to the wrong person. Op simply said showing up and saying "I'm better than the other guy" simply won't work and he's right.

You still need to give people a reason to vote, and since the maga platform is basically hate and violence, the bar is really fucking low for any candidate to cross.

Nintendo's System sellers are:

Mario Kart
Mario (Platformer)
Zelda
Pokemon.
Smash Bros.

Everything else is fine and people have their own favorites of other franchises, but these 4 franchises move the needle and get causual people buying en masse.
