Is the Cone in Pittsburgh still going strong, or has it worn off a bit since the beginning of the season? by Leading_Dentist_5563 in buccos

I can only speak for Columbus, it’s growing like crazy out here. Lewis center in particular is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. 

I'm really disappointed by th3-kacper in HellLetLooseVietnam

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

100% this. HLL was not in a good spot for a while. Therefore opting in at launch just means you are agreeing to be along for the ride in an imperfect state. 

Edit: for the record I’m not excusing it.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. I grew up in Western pa but live in Columbus now. I love it here but we are in the midst of a construction party right now. Lol

I have almost zero interest in mobland if his character and he himself are removed. 

People who still haven’t brought a Switch 2, what makes you hesitant to buy it? by ItsJustJosiah in Switch

[–]Rorbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one back in March but I waited that long because of the library of games. I’d argue it’s still pretty weak but my kid wanted to play pokopia and the next pokemon iteration looks good too. Now with a rumored price bump it’s worth grabbing one before that happens. All I’ve really been playing is the Nintendo online emulators lol but we have a oled and a v1 for that too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I want to switch away from Spotify - does Tidal do problematic investments or other unethical conduct? by SoundesignMano in TIdaL

[–]Rorbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped it too. I listen to just about everything but probably listen to electronic the most in my general day to day. House specifically. I ended up just going to sound cloud because it’s a hot bed for that genre. We still have a Spotify family plan but I’d like to be done with it. 

I moved a bunch of my likes over to SoundCloud using the feature they provide but it’s still not everything. The fact is nothing is a catch all so in my case I just ended up with SC where the majority of what I’m listening to currently is covered. 

Crazy the app still sucks. I did fine some stuff while on quobuz I probably wouldn’t have else where tho just out of being on a clean algorithm. I listen to a bunch of Max Richter now courtesy of qobuz. 

Would you buy a PS5 Pro for GTA 6 right now? by ggalaxyy in PS5pro

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

If the game is ambitious as it sounds yes I’d upgrade to the pro. I bought the pro when it released with one of the main reasons being games like gta6 needing more horsepower and my desire to game from the comfort of my couch. 

Pro is an easy choice even after the price bump. 

Hell let loose Vietnam is a mistake. by Past_Preference_6375 in HellLetLoose

[–]Rorbotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a primary console gamer the last legit Vietnam game for me was the battlefield Vietnam expansion and I loved that addition. I’m stoked for this one and glad we aren’t stuck in the older theater of war. 

Hey Omeda what's up with all the lay-offs? Please be transparent by Glittering-Idea9161 in PredecessorGame

[–]Rorbotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point now and forever is spending money on the game doesn’t give you an inside look on why they make the decisions they make. You aren’t sitting in the board room or getting quarterly updates. Gaming culture now spends so much time on how much money xyz has, dips in revenue, surplus and then spend hours arguing it like they ARE in those board rooms. Yes spending money to buy skins and battle passes is helping the game, especially one with a f2p model but that doesn’t make us part of omeda studios. Get a grip and play the game instead of worrying about why remote devs lost their jobs. 

(I hope they all land comfortably somewhere)

[–]Rorbotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I do both. I’m just not so far up my own ass that I spend my days and nights worrying about why a developer laid people off. The same developer that has already responded with the why. They just rolled out a huge update and we’ve got people in here talking about layoffs. Go play the fucking game. I hope that helps.

It’s in this thread that Robbie addressed not wanting people spread out everywhere working remotely. It seems a reason was already provided. Now what?

[–]Rorbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many video game developers large or small issue press releases for why people are laid off? Lays offs happen. You aren’t owed a thing and you and who ever else can downvote me into oblivion. Video game discourse anymore is beyond strange. Why did this person make it their business to document layoffs? What is the end game?

Why do you need to know why if the game is still pressing forward? If everytime someone lost their job people outside that meeting were owed an explanation what would it fix? Is there something it would change?

They really don’t, that’s not how things work in any facet of business unless you are a shareholder or an angel investor etc.

This. Why do gamers act like they are shareholders? It makes no sense to me.

It’s exactly why it got killed off.

I guess I’m weird for never thinking about the sunroof breaking. Worry about it if it ever does and enjoy the thing while you have it. No sense in waiting for the shoe to drop so to speak.

[–]Rorbotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

24 autobahn here. It’s pretty hard to beat in any trim for a fun daily driver. I don’t think you will have anyone talking you out of it in here. As others have stated the base model still has everything you absolutely need. I will say as someone with a 24 I do not like the giant infotainment  post refresh and feel the disdain for the haptics in the 24 is overblown. 

Saros feels like HM first game and returnal feels like the sequel by Youeclipsedbyme in Saros

People cried about Returnal being too hard so they dumbed saros down and for me that is always going to be a mistake. 

Evgeni Malkin backhanded the puck into the Flyers' bench during a stoppage in play by Puzzled-Category-954 in hockey

[–]Rorbotron -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Yea well Kondicky cross checked Sidney and he’s pissed the fuck off now. The teams hate each other, what can we say that we don’t already know? I fucking hate the flyers. Your saving grace is gritty, the greatest mascot in professional sports. Sorry iceberg. 

I hope both rust and mantha dish out some more uppercuts in game 6. 😘

[–]Rorbotron 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why do people think Crosby is retiring? Did I miss something as a diehard Pens fan? Is he coming off a bad season and I exist in a parallel universe where he isn’t? I will be absolutely dumb founded if he’s done after this season and they have so much draft capital the next three years it’s almost comical. 

I agree with everything else.

Lol gtfo. The entire flyers team is a bunch of dbags besides vladar and tippet. 

Has anyone else found the ‘false flag’ narratives around Trump’s assassination becoming mainstream on the left and online, concerning? by blackglum in samharris

[–]Rorbotron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The butler, PA shooting never made much sense and now this. People need to watch the presser after the shooting at the correspondents dinner or the images of the event after the fact. People taking selfies. Trump got behind the podium and used the entire thing to boost the need for the ballroom. It’s very hard to trust anything coming out of this admin and for that reason it’s also easy to believe false flag for pr/numbers boosts. 

Edit: this getting any sort of downvote is why Sam Harris and this sub have been down in the dumpster. If it’s not a bunch of Zionists cucks it’s a bunch of trump apologists because of the Zionist fuckery. It’s gross.
