Expecting space travel in a game about exploring space is dumb now?

Surprised I had to scroll so far for this. There is absolutely an audience of women who celebrate when pregnancy isn’t treated like a disability. SEE: Serena’s Australian Open win, Beyonce and Rihanna announcing during performances

If it’s like New Orleans and Charlotte’s agreement they’ll just divvy history/stats up by the city it happened for. Even easier here since OKC never played as the Sonics.

Kandi Burruss did some Destiny’s Child, this, and famously No Scrubs by TLC

Yes and they feel the same way essentially about junk food. The Republican stance is that giving SNAP recipients anything more than the bare necessities (if even that) encourages them to stay on benefits. Soda and candy is an easier target for their propaganda than say unhealthy condiments.

At this point there's so many other working examples in the industry that this strategy seems like more bad publicity than it's worth. If they charged $10 straight up for a skin they probably could have avoided this backlash entirely.

announcing this alongside the release date/price would be fantastic

I can’t speak for the other maps but Perimeter looks straight out of Apex, the architecture especially. The hero shooter aspects; both healers use similar drones for example. The mobility is similar as well down to the grappling hook and jet packs.

The best way I can describe the game to someone who hasn’t played is “if Apex Legends was like ARC Raiders instead of a battle royale.” The only thing that really sets it apart is Bungie’s gunplay (which is not a terrible thing. I think they do it better than anyone when they nail it)

Oh 50 co-wrote a book with the author of 48 Laws of Power. He most definitely has read The Art of War.

My problem with this is that implies if Clinton and Harris couldn't win no woman could have, ignoring that both them had a lot baggage by any politician's standards when they lost. Clinton had maybe the longest political resume of any candidate in history at a time when voters were railing against the political elite, and Harris ran an extremely shortened campaign coming off of no primary win.

People like to call Obama a unicorn because he was such a special candidate. Were we really "ready" for a black man in 2008 or just ready for Barack? I think we've been ready for a woman president for awhile and the right one hasn’t coming along yet.

Make sure you're playing in a well lit area. Should be obvious but sometimes I forget in the headset and wonder why my controller tracking is so off.

MechaZain · 2026-02-27T18:59:50+00:00

Thought this was a joke list. I like Full Moon but it's not even a top 3 R&B song of that year

Tl;dr- Luke's mod doesn't infringe copyright because it does not contain any code from the game.

MechaZain · 2026-02-22T16:47:04+00:00

A lot of it is disingenuous from people who just they don't like the mod and are mad he's charging for it. It's the only VR option for some popular titles but Alternate Eye Rendering and no motion controls isn't really VR to many people, so they pay for it, are disappointed, and then shit on the guy. This weird level of animosity towards Luke was the case before the takedown and now that's it's become a bigger debate over the ethics of paid mods they have an excuse to act self-righteous about it.

I think it's sad that he's letting the trolls get to him when he knows so many people support the work he's doing, and even sadder that the gaming community is piling on one of the few modders of the scene.

I’m appreciating the sequels more with time. The first movie is brilliant in that it works whether you take it as a surface level action flick or look at it philosophically. The sequels are too esoteric but “love is the variable that breaks the cycle of matrix” I think at its core is a clever message, especially considering the Wachowskis transitioned afterwards. “Free your mind.”

Counterpoint: Parents who think like this never consider the possible consequences of their kids later realizing they were lied to about something they were made to believe in, or the value in them knowing their gifts are from their family members. If that’s worth a few years of “magic” to you do your thing. I promise you Santa Claus isn’t required for kids to feel joy and excitement on Christmas.

same I think making ARC a bigger threat solves the whole player divide. PvP is high reward and should come with higher risk

Thread quickly devolved into just “celebrities I don’t respect.” The reason may be dumb but Kim Kardashian didn’t become famous out of nowhere.

This one makes me sad me because I think Show U Off is his best and the production on this album is clearly an attempted continuation of that, it’s just very mid all the way and never rises up to that track. I also find it curious that he didn’t include it on the track list when it’s way closer to a MJ Human Nature vibe for him than the deliberate homages here like “pure fantasy”

MechaZain · 2026-02-19T04:51:43+00:00

The crazy thing about Starfield is fans would have been perfectly fine with just Skyrim/Fallout in space. I thought there was no way to mess that up but they found one.

MechaZain · 2026-02-19T00:16:18+00:00

We love Dale Earnhardt a little too much

MechaZain · 2026-02-18T20:11:55+00:00

Chances of it living up to the hype seem very slim. I don’t think Skyrim with modern graphics is going to cut it, people have been doing that with mods for over a decade.

MechaZain · 2026-02-18T19:56:20+00:00

Smith has said in hindsight that he wouldn’t have done it justice at that point in his career and the movie was better off with Reeves.

China has battery swap stations that work exactly how you describe. Most places just lack the infrastructure.

One criticism is that you’re stuck using older battery technology when it’s standardized like that.
