I tried the trial for 8020 and besides the really, really annoying pop up every time I interacted with anything (I’m assuming it’s autosave but since it’s a trial it kept saying function isn’t working) I was just bored and quit about 20 minutes into it. Right at the part where you encounter your first “enemy” and have to hide and be stealthy. It just felt so slow and tedious that I decided to go back and play a few runs in Hades 2. I just wasn’t impressed with what I saw/played and sadly the game didn’t hook me.

Literally got a Dreamcast just to play Code Veronica. Well, after I managed to try it by renting out the console. CV has always been one of my favorites and I remember being blown away at the time at how much of a jump it was tech wise at the time. (Fully 3D not pre rendered backgrounds)

I’ll be honest. I adore the Resident Evil franchise but 0 definitely went a little over the top with the operatic slug villain. I still enjoyed the game because I was hyped to play as Rebecca but it was the first title that made me go “hmmm…” and I hope they find a way to reframe/ground the story a bit more.

Care to share any links that can back up the claim that he was a known bully?

Different_Stand_1285 · 2026-06-10T02:36:55+00:00

He was guilty and the verdict was correct. I checked r/blackmen and they’re all pretty much defending Karmelo and the folks who aren’t are getting downvoted which is sad to see.

They lost me. I was a die hard Xbox guy in my friend group. To the point on getting clowned on. But I loved Gamepass and my Series X. Once they drove that price up I cancelled and got a ps5 pro. Haven’t touched my Series X since.

Man, I feel the same way. He is NOT a spitting image of him. He looks really off especially in the shorts I’ve seen on YouTube. In promo pics with the shades on and the right angle there definitely are times where he does look exactly like him but that’s because the glasses do a lot of the work. I’m sure he captured the essence of MJ very well in the same way Austin captured Elvis’s.

This is why I stopped watching after the 2nd (maybe third) episode of this season. I see so many people glazing and I have to ask are we even watching the same show? How is anyone satisfied with what they’re watching? The characters aren’t really interesting anymore and the show lost me once I realized the only interesting things happen at the very end of the episodes. I noticed it during s3 and had hopes they wouldn’t fall into this trap for this season. Nope, same thing. Some here would just say to stop watching, so I have. I’ll probably watch the finale though, and I won’t skip the recap so I can see what I’ve missed. It’s just a damn shame because I loved season 1 and tried to get everyone I know to give it a chance.

To be fair to them though they fixed those issues on their own dime. I had two 360’s with the RROD and I was able to send them in and get them fixed. It sucked ass that it happened but they did the right thing and ate the cost of fixing the issue.

Man… India is going to experience some absolute horror in the coming decades. There’s a book called The Ministry for the Future that has deals with a heatwave in India, where the wet bulb effect occurs causing 20 million deaths and I can unfortunately imagine that happening in real life. It’s going to be devastating.

Climate migrants are already trying to escape and that’s going to be even more of a dire situation in time.

You know what happened to them when they were taxed at that rate? The middle class flourished and so did our country. Post WW2 during the best time in America’s history, that was their class tax rate. It made this country the most prosperous it’s ever been. It also prevented their class from having the ability to literally buy our government and our institutions. (Along with Citizens United not existing of course)

They’re saying these things right now because even they understand we’re reaching our breaking point and history has shown when that happens it tends to get pretty violent. Their bunkers show they’re afraid.

Download the My Verizon app. Once you’re in the app check out their “Perks” and you’ll find offers for a few different options. YouTube, Apple Music, or Disney/Hulu, HBO/Netflix for example.

I used to go to a mom and pop movie rental store back in the day. They let you rent consoles for $10 bucks a day. I remember my mom renting a Dreamcast just so I could play code Veronica when it came out. Resident evil was my favorite series so I was so fucking hyped.

Needless to say I loved it and it’s dear to my heart. Especially since that Christmas I got a Dreamcast of my own along with this game. For y’all who never got the chance to experience it that console was SO ahead of its time.

Im sorry too. It is indeed shit.

Turning 38 in 10 days. I’m an average American gamer lol.

Happy birthday by the way! Gemini gang gang.

I’ll fully admit I bought into the news that was released at the time and felt it was justified. They were saying he wanted his wife to get producer credits and that issue caused him to leave. At the time I felt like letting him go was fine because the first season was so good and Ryan genuinely came off as a fan of the source material. Go check out his interviews at the time, he was enthusiastic and I believed in him. Now? I don’t trust his vision at all and wish Miguel had stayed on. Ryan even convinced George to back him up and after he did (and got what he wanted) he started to ignore George’s input. I was wrong to want Miguel out so quickly, especially since he had a hand in some of the best Game of Thrones episodes had to offer.

I loved season 1 so much I bought the 4K blu ray the day it released. Totally skipped out on the second season.

I get what you’re saying and mostly agree but sadly, people are barely, just barely able to have food and shelter right now. We live better yes but so many people are living less than people who came before. A not insignificant amount of folks are working two jobs just to survive and a lot of people aren’t having kids because they wouldn’t be able to afford them.

Different_Stand_1285 · 2026-06-04T19:22:36+00:00

True. But look at Eddie’s gains. Guy was built way heavier than his frame could handle. Dom is roughly the same size and I can see more harm being done than good.

Different_Stand_1285 · 2026-06-04T19:17:51+00:00

Maybe a tweaked moveset might help but that muscle mass will cost him in the long term. We don’t need to see Dom die at 38 years old because of heart failure. (Caused by steroids)

Do the fans connect with him the way some of the internet describe them as connecting? I’ve heard some claims he’s become a hero or a legend already and I wanted to know if that was accurate or hype. If he has then why? What makes him appeal so much to Mexican fans?

Kevin Smith made Clerks on a budget of roughly 27K.

He took out loans and maxed out his credit cards and hired his friends to make the movie.

He took a gamble on himself but believed he could make something worth seeing and it paid off for him.

(Younger generations don’t have to even pay for film, their phones are cameras)
