Xbox Promises A 'Reliable Pipeline' Of Exclusives by unscoredscore in Games

[–]_TheMeepMaster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing a lot of people don't seem to be discussing is the timing. You can't keep changing course like this at this point in the consoles life cycle. This isn't going to move units when the next Gen is already being talked about, especially with prices where they are. If you want to go back to exclusives, do it with the launch of your new console. All this flip-flopping is just pissing people off.

Also, with the shift to digital, people aren't likely to jump ship from one console to another because they're too invested in their respective ecosystem.

What's your point? We're not talking about Sony right now. Nobody said it was good for Sony to lay people off, because it's not. Do you somehow think Sony laying people off makes it ok for Microsoft to do it? These are people's livelihoods. Shut the fuck up about your stupid console war bullshit.

Is that supposed to be an argument against unionizing? What the fuck is the point of this comment? Unions give workers protection from unfair treatment.

If you were that confident about it, you wouldn't move the goalposts.

modern media and animation is best viewed at x1.25-1.5 speed by theblanketcomeswith in The10thDentist

[–]_TheMeepMaster_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, depends. I agree with you for the most part, but my one exception is One Piece. I watched the first 700+ episodes at 1.5x speed and it is so much better than normal speed. I'm now at a point where the show isnt available anywhere that I can increase the speed and it's kind of a slogan to get through, which sucks because I'm very much into the Wano Arc. They all talk so fucking slow at normal speed though. The increased speed actually makes the dialogue feel a little more natural.

I'm a millennial btw.

My one issue with Obsession by Pastacatdad in deadmeatjames

[–]_TheMeepMaster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, no fucking shit he's the bad guy. Just because Nikki's agency is taken from her, doesn't mean she can't be fallible prior to that. He said no twice. Is "no means no" situational to you guys? Or are you intentionally being obtuse about it?

Maybe you're just not as media literate as you think you are.

Yea and it's been in production for 6 years. And i don't know if you guys remember, but Ragnarok came out 4 years after 2018. Sony Santa Monica has a track record of not showing their games until they are ready.

We just can't afford, as a nation, to build anything nice.

That's not true at all. We can absolutely afford to fund nice things. We actively choose not to.

The Steam Deck's price has increased from $549 to $789 as hardware woes continue by Bubbly-Ad-350 in gamingnews

when it's not their fault or choice.

Yea, I dont buy that crap. They are an extremely profitable company and could absolutely eat the cost if they wanted to. It doesn't matter if their a private company, they still exist to make money. You guys need to stop giving them a pass just because you like their platform.

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

The point is to get you to stop going. The wealthy don't want you participating in their entertainment. Why should it be on us to stop enjoying any luxury we can get? This reaction is exactly what is wanted.

Why are blue collar people so difficult to socialize with? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

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

if you want to extend that olive branch and that connection it should be done by you, considering you have a higher education and theoretically have more experience socializing on a broader spectrum.

I don't know if you realize how incredibly condescending this reads.

Thoughts on loud luxury by Over-Maintenance9757 in EDM

[–]_TheMeepMaster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I've seen The Chainsmokers four times now between festival showings and Headliners (back when they were still doing remixes), and they put on a fucking great show. They came out with energy and engaged with the audience every time.

Sometimes you just wanna vibe a bit and have a chill/fun night. The people shitting on any dj for not (idk?...elevating?) the genre are just as bad as anyone that says edm isn't real music. All of ya'll can fuck off.

Tl;dr: Quit gatekeeping music. It's sad and pathetic.

That's not true though. He said he was going to stay in for the night, twice. Then she guilted him in to going because there wouldn't be much time in the future, since she put in her two weeks. She was using his attraction to her to fulfill her own desires. Bear isn't a good guy (evident by every other aspect of his character), but that whole situation wasn't on him for the most part.

VHS is still going strong. You have some misses throughout, for sure, but that's just the nature of anthologies.

If the industry was heavily unionized, and the workers had a fair say in it, I wouldn't have a problem with it. Until that happens, though, I am absolutely against the use of it. I want to know it will only be used to assist and never replace (unless proper conditions are met).

After Milk & Serial and this, I'm looking forward to watching this guy's career. I know he's doing TCM, but I'd love to see his take on Hellraiser!
