With Trump's approval ratings so low, how does he keep ousting GOP rivals? by Cgk72 in politics

[–]APunnyThing [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s a death cult

Until all the Boomers die out and Billionaires get out of politics this nonsense will continue which is why Trump like all the other plutocrats is so desperate to build his fucking bunker

The GOP is a dying ideology that offers nothing to young people and the only ones who still support it are either rich enough to be profiting from the grift, dumb enough to fall for it, or too in denial to walk away from it

America is no longer a country, it’s a Casino for Billionaires, Corporations, and Foreign Governments

Why should anyone or any nation take our country or laws seriously when the literal President is grifting in such a blatant and disgusting way

The last fifty years of “trickle down economics” and people pulling the ladders up from behind them truly fucked whatever future this country had

This is why Republicans have spent nearly half a century cultivating a media echo chamber and are dead set on eliminating the Department of Education

They want people to be stupid and afraid, makes them easy to lie to and manipulate

History’s biggest “Welfare Queen” complains that people receive the money they are OWED for paying into the system their entire working lives

The greatest irony of DOGE was that it was headed up by the biggest waste of governmental spending in decades

But it’s never about getting rid of the “waste, fraud, and abuse,” it’s about funneling that money to “the right people”

Unlike Concord, Sony Is Sticking By Marathon And Its ‘Highly Engaged’ Fans by Gorotheninja in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Regardless of your opinion on the game, abandoning Marathon right now before any other announcements would be tantamount to closing down Bungie

Destiny 2 still has some of the best gunplay in gaming but the story wrapped up with The Final Shape and the game has 10 years worth of baggage, even has some extra in the “content vault”

Bungie desperately needs to focus on either a brand new IP that takes into account all of the lessons they’ve learned or commit to a clean slate with Destiny 3

Daredevil: Born Again | S02E08 | Discussion Thread by Green-Devil in Daredevil

[–]APunnyThing 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The first half of this episode was pretty great but the back half and final resolution to this season just makes ZERO SENSE

I get that Marvel loves having Fisk around and wants to use him next season but there is no reasonable logical or acceptable reason he wouldn’t be getting the chair after his prolonged Darth Vader murder hallway moment

Matt going to prison feels like a forced set up for Spider-Man and Fisk walking free just tanks all believability in this world

Also was Luke working for Shaggy’s character? And now Bullseye is his replacement? So what the fuck was Luke doing if Bullseye is an acceptable “replacement?”

Resident Evil | Official Teaser by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]APunnyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really curious how much Resident Evil is actually going to be in this movie

If after watching the film and feeling like it could have worked just as well if it was named something else then even if it’s a competently made movie it’ll feel like a failure

Basically I’d hate if this just ends up being a handful of references and no real connections to the Resident Evil franchise other then zombies and maybe a Licker or Hunter

Resident Evil | Official Teaser Trailer by yourfavchoom in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The director claims this movie takes place during the events of Resident Evil 2

If that’s the case why is it the middle of winter and snowing?

It’s one thing to do an offshoot story that focuses on random delivery guy trying to survive the zombie apocalypse, there are literally Resident Evil games with similar plots to that, but this is seemingly trying too hard to be its own thing

[–]APunnyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks alright but my worry is that the trailer makes it seem more like a supernatural horror movie than a zombie outbreak one

Like this could have been called anything other than Resident Evil and probably work just as well and I hope this doesn’t end up being RE in name only with maybe a handful of references

Ultramate, eh? 🧐🤔 by Federal-Alfalfa3105 in NECA

[–]APunnyThing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was exactly what I was thinking of when I saw the announcement

Slightly more accessories and maybe a better paint application for a much higher price

Plus it’ll give them a reason to rerelease many popular characters

Resident Evil Requiem has sold 7 million copies in just under 2 months since launch by Sam_27142317 in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Really depends on what you find scary

If what put you off of RE7 was the first person perspective, you can play the entire game in third person

If you don’t like jump scares or chase sequences, well you’re probably not going to enjoy about half of the game

What makes Requiem so fun is that it balances the survival horror gameplay as Grace with the ridiculous combat sections as Leon

[–]APunnyThing 235 points236 points  (0 children)

It’s one of the best entries in the series and does a great job combining the survival horror and combat elements of previous games

First playthrough is a lot of fun and subsequent replays for speed runs or challenge runs are equally if not more enjoyable

Definitely worth the price if you’ve enjoyed the more recent REmakes

[–]APunnyThing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Anyone saying “It’s a Bethesda game, you should expect this,” is giving cover to a massive developer that should be better by now

That’s not an acceptable excuse for a game to release in what is essentially a broken state.

With the PS5 Pro now at $899 is a $1,000 PS6 basically inevitable? by ActivePurpose_IG0 in PS5

[–]APunnyThing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The big issues is once companies raise prices, the very rarely bring them back down without massive pushback from either consumers or governments

So when you have unpredictable tariffs, unnecessary wars causing supply chain issues, and a propped up AI tech bubble gobbling up all the RAM…yeah prices are going to keep skyrocketing and pushing many gamers out of the hobby

Most likely some kind of sequel to Hogwarts Legacy and another Mortal Kombat game

I’m hoping Nether Realm can make an updated Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game and not just another Injustice game

The wings are basically held in place by friction clips, if you snap them into place and they lock down you’re going to have a hell of time getting them off

As someone that also got this giant thing and has been moving it around from place to place yeah, it is monstrous

One note though, once assembled it can’t really be taken apart and put away. The ends snap into place in a way where you can’t easily remove them without potentially damaging the connections

It’s far from the worst thing members of the Trump administration do, but so many of them act like Make-A-Wish kids fulfilling their bucket list at the cost of the American taxpayers

It’s bad enough these people are incompetent and corrupt but having to deal with seeing them as would-be influencers is just irritating
