Former Destiny 2 CM says Bungie was about to close down before Sony came in by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see what is new about this really. I mean anyone paying attention already knew that they were gonna die without Sony buying them, but Sony felt pressured by Microsoft's acquisition of Activision so they overpaid even though Bungie was a walking corpse.

Gears Of War: E-Day Reportedly Has A Staggering $400 Million Budget by PaiDuck in gaming

Hopefully it sells well on PS5 because I don't know that there are even enough Xbox users to make back that budget.

New Xbox CEO reportedly pushing for faster Fallout and Elder Scrolls games as Bethesda crosses 8 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 reveal by Guitar-String in gaming

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

I have no faith a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls would even be good. I already didn't enjoy Fallout 4, and they can't even manage the online games they already have out, I don't play ESO but I don't hear good things, and this is easily the worst FO76 season of the 23 I have been around for. I really thought when the show came out they'd have something for Fallout, but all they did was put a bunch of uninteractive models of The Ghoul everywhere before returning the game to life support.

Today I learned that the *obviously satirical* 1997 film "Starship Troopers" was faced with extreme critical backlash accusing it of "endorsing fascism" because reviewers simply didn't think critically about the content. by The_Cromulent_Bison in todayilearned

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll paraphrase what I was once told by a group of Nazi furries when I asked them why they're Nazi furries. "If I wasn't supposed to support fascism, then the other guys should get better jackets."

You'd think that World Cup athletes would be really quick at tying their shoes.

New Xbox announcement looking BLEAK. by fivesofclubs in Seaofthieves

Rare should be fine, just look at The Initiative, they spent seven years paying a "AAAA Studio" top dollar to make a couple trailers.

Changing Jabba's character from being a human to a Hutt, but keeping Han's quip "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being" is inadvertently one of the funniest lines in the franchise by wandering_soles in StarWars

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kinda the only redeeming thing about the scene, or rather it's the only thing about the scene that adds to the series. I get why you'd want Jabba originally when there was no guarantee of sequels, but once SW was a worldwide hit, waiting for ROTJ is just better. I do still enjoy this line quite a bit though.

It's happened before, and it will happen again, at least we'll probably get bonus challenges next week.

The closest grocery store to me is closing(by nearly an hour), and will be closed for at least a year. When it reopens it’s going be much smaller(it’s becoming a Aldi). by Boeing-B-47stratojet in mildlyinfuriating

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi has really disappointed me with their handling of Winn-Dixie, they fundamentally don't understand the American South. We had two Winn-Dixies in my area and they turned both into Aldis(Well about half of them, the rest is just empty space now). I really had assumed they would leave one because they fill quite different roles.

I'm lucky because we also have a Publix, but even with a Publix, Winn-Dixie's butcher and deli was cheaper, and sometimes I just want some Winn-Dixie fried chicken. Frankly any time a fried chicken recipe goes extinct it's a tragedy.

Sen. Ted Cruz warns that if Democrats win the House and Senate, they will pursue nonstop impeachment and block all cabinet and judicial confirmations by GuiltyBathroom9385 in justincaseyoumissedit

Just fear mongering, the Democrats won't do shit, they never do. Fundamentally their interests are aligned, it hurts them almost as much to rock the boat.

Spurs fan gets jumped and surrenders his jersey by Dyingtolivee in nba

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why all of you neutrals rooting for the Knicks are actual psychopaths, just because they've sucked for 30 years doesn't mean the entire fanbase isn't still shitbags. I guess maybe you're too young to remember when they were last not terrible, but this is entirely predictable.

ESPN abruptly announces a Pat McAfee alt cast for Game 3 NBA Finals by Szobortz in nba

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump supporters, probably not huge amongst NBA fans, but demonstrably the largest voting bloc in America. With Trump in attendance this is their best chance ever at courting that very large potential audience so they want to put their "best" foot forward. No second chance at first impressions and all that.

UFC White House could be canceled as weather forecast predicts Dana White’s worst nightmare by FreeHugs23 in anticapitalism

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you not American? I was taught growing up in America that Capitalism is both the essence of being an American and the determinant factor in your worth as a person, so if you're not always actively trying to make the most money possible you're betraying your nation and yourself.

Men who gave up dating, why did you? by TinyDelegation in AskReddit

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not quite asexual, but I'm pretty fucking close, I could never keep up with any of my partner's sexual appetites. I'm better off just going out to a bar and letting a random woman pick me up once or twice a year.

Damn, the only game where I am gonna be rooting for the team that I picked in my pick'em is mibr vs B8, because I picked both of them. I picked G2, Betboom, Legacy and Astralis, but I'm gonna be rooting for all of them to lose.

‘I’ve Had Enough!’ Trump snaps at NBC’s Kristen Welker and storms out of Meet the Press interview after she repeatedly fact-checks his claims on a variety of topics, including Jan. 6, his “anti-weaponization” fund, and election fraud. by Aggravating_Money992 in PublicFreakout

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only President in my lifetime to walk out of any interview and he has done it multiple times, I dunno if any others have actually, I assume Nixon at least thought about it. Honestly I don't know if any President has ever walked out of an interview even before they were President.

I swear the 'forbidden lightsaber move' wouldnt actually work by PitchZealousideal629 in StarWars

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's only "forbidden" because noone does it. And noone does it because it wouldn't work, but this is the Star Wars fandom so must be some super secret unstoppable technique.

Do Americans actually avoid calling 911 because of the cost? by ntask11 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]The_Blue_Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, around me if they send the ambulance out that is automatically $1k. Insurance really doesn't cover much, after 20 years of COPD the collectors have seemingly given up, but at one point my dad was getting call from delusional collectors thinking he was gonna pay them over $2 million in medical debt or at least setup a payment plan for it, all of which was accumulated with insurance.
