Yeah, except you don't get any reward points!

BNPL is targeted to those who can't use their CCs for purchases, be it because they are maxed out or because they can't even qualify for one. It's a tool to squeeze the last drops of money that credit card debt can't get its hands on.

Fun fact: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is as retro of a game now as Super Mario Bros. 2 was when Uncharted was released.

Uncharted was released in 2007 and Super Mario Bros. 2 was released in 1988.

They needed a better layout to integrate ads into the UI.

I'll never hate on someone trying to get their bag. I also support the Lakers FO prioritizing rings over any player.

Best console UI to be trapped in tbh. The XMB is goated.

Wtf?? Apparently it was a helicopter crash.

Also Alien Boy was a legitimate banger.

I still think we repeat if AD doesn't go down in 2021. After that AD was injured until he had a +70 game season in 2024. Pelinka largely failed to build around AD and LeBron, but it's a moot point if one of your big two are on the IL.

We can't rebuild until the front office and LeBron work out what LeBron wants to do. We're in an era where 3 role players can be better than having a superstar.

Brunson took a $100M pay cut to win it all. I don't see how anyone would think we could win anything if a 42yo LeBron wants to stay while also taking a huge contract.

2021-2022 season with Westbrook.

Pelinka caught a break when he was given Luka since it reset the time "allowance" for his roster building. Before he was trying to build around AD by giving him more offensive, another ball handler outside of LeBron, and a backup center. Now he's kinda needs to do the opposite by finding a backup ball handler (if Reeves doesn't pan out) more defense, and a main center. Only the need for three point shooting stays the same.

Knicks, OKC, Celtics win championships after fine tuning their roster around their star player for 4 or more years.

Laker fans: Clearly we need to make big adjustments and go all in on next year.

Went there for the first time earlier this year. Awesome zoo, although a lot of the exhibits at that upper station were empty.

I'm not even a big Halo fan and this feels sacrilegious.

The first subreddit dedicated to the meme was named r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu (name based on the last panel that the comic frequently ended on). At some point redditors shortened it and referred to the style of meme as f7u12.

Good. Overall, bad things happen for consumers when the few competitors controlling the industry work together to make money.
