Remember when an Xbox 360 game could end up being $120 at launch at EB games? I sure do.

I'm starting to think that this whole "free market" thing doesn't actually solve consumer's problems and only makes them worse...

How dare you.

I feel like meteor hammers could work as a thrown weapon, wind them up sort of like a sling and it could do some serious damage. Probably not a great thing to do though, because your enemy can just pick it up and throw it back. Plus they'd probably be way too expensive to make as a "one and done" kind of weapon like that.

But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor!

Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?

Yeah, no idea what Jobst's laywer was doing here, #1 thing he should've told his client is "shut up about the lawsuit and don't constantly make videos that could constitute slander or libel while you have an ongoing lawsuit regarding slander and libel.

China has a chance to do the funniest thing right now, and not lower their sanctions.

I love how creepy he makes Vance look in his style. It's the lowest of low hanging fruit for a political cartoonist to make their enemies look ugly, but to keep to the same style with the same expressions as everyone else, but still managing to keep his serial killer stare is just

Yeah, they probably cut the funding because it has already served its purpose. More mainstream sites like Reddit and Twitter are basically just 4chan anyway.

Maybe that's why the best tomato sauce tends to be tangy and strong?

But yeah, as others have said, if you've ever grown your own tomatoes, you'd know how different they taste from store bought ones, because store bought ones are bred to look big and impressive (so people buy them) but not so much for flavour.

I read a lot of them, some interesting discussions of theology hidden in there, and some fun mockery of people acting like they think they're the Main Character of Leftism.

I don't disagree that Nintendo is trying to squash potential competition, though when digimon came out, Game Freak actually was the small indie company they pretend to be today, and wouldn't have had the resources to sue Bandai-Namco, even if they wanted to, and since this lawsuit is claiming to be about game mechanics, digimon has nothing in common with pokemon, except that there are cartoon creatures and you battle them in a (usually) turn based way. The original Digimon world for Playstation didn't really have any overlapping mechanics with pokemon apart from standard RPG mechanics. So the circumstances are radically different, which is why I used nexomon as an example, as it is mechanically identical to pokemon, but isn't seen as a big enough threat to warrant a lawsuit (Putting their game on nintendo consoles probably helped with that)

I did notice the mods were removing comments and banning people who tried to spread it out further than the few threads it was in.

masters obey the state (render unto Cesar)

Is that really how you interpret that passage? It was "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and render unto God what is God's" Isn't it? So it's literally calling out the romans for thinking they own everything when they don't. It seems to be saying the opposite of what you think it is saying. Jesus was crucified by the Romans because he stood against the status quo and was a threat to their power in the region.

Is this what a hexbear struggle session is really like? Struck me more as a couple of people making really extreme statements and generally being mocked for it.

Not a politician, but still relevant.

Seems like Thomas was the apostle who knew where to find the really good shit, probably made top tier Bethelem brownies.

But yeah, early Christian writings are a fascinating topic, just so radically different from the codified stuff that came later, and a lot more like other "cults" at the time (not in the modern sense of the word).

That is extremely funny! This is a really good bit.
