The problem is that they always want more. It's not enough to make money. So the ads and intrusive garbage gets worse and worse until we reach an unusable nightmare.

TV shows have banner ads during the show. Everyone wants to send you notifications. Even cars are starting to have ads on their screens.

It's exhausting.

Biden has done a better job than I expected, but he should clearly retire. I think this is a huge, and almost necessary opportunity for Democrats. Incumbents are way more likely to get reelected. Since Trump has pissed off too many people, and he'll sabotage any other front runners for his party.

Wouldn't it make sense to get someone younger and a little bolder in now for the Dema? They have a very strong likelihood to win this round, and then they'll be the incumbents next term. We could finally replace some garbage supreme court members.

Charging for both a connection speed and a limit is ridiculous. The latter is obviously a cash grab, but paired with different tiers of speed just screams "regulate me"

Pettiness yes. Bullying him... no. Just a petty little man.

Give an inch, they'll take a mile. These crazies will just find a new thing to demand. Probably selling contraceptives, or crayons with all the colors of the rainbow.

Agreed, but I doubt he made the changes at all. He stopped paying the bills. Google cut him off on the weekend on purpose. They made a point. Twitter is done. How that shit is still trading at over $50 a share is beyond me. This trainwreck is beyond salvation.

Love me some Brave...I use Firefox when that has issues though.

I've thought about this before, and you're definitely right that games are technically cheaper when you factor in inflation. However, they sell to a much larger audience now, so it's not like the major studios are starving. Even so, I would probably be fine with it, if it weren't for the tendency to:

1. include microtransactions, rather than achievements
2. sell dlc that should have just been part of the game
3. Release the same uninspired crap every year (call of duty, sports ball 2023, etc.)
4. sell broken games

I'm guessing this one will be #4. Hoping to be wrong.

To Arms is a free deck builder. It's not pretty, but I love it. It's also free

Solitairica is a fun RPG twist on solitaire. It's a couple bucks

Feels like I can't support anything without finding out it's run by pure evil- or that it's in the process of being ruined.

Fail again

Breaking my heart. At least it can still view YouTube without ads for now. I'll branch out again.

I haven't played it on the Switch, but I will say the performance was terrible on the XBone. I played the sequel on the Series X, and it was a much better experience. That said, the sequel isn't as good as the original. Still excited for the 3rd one to come out though.

Anyway, unless they optimized it really well for the Switch, I would recommend PC. The Switch is not a very powerful piece of hardware.

I'll believe it when I see it. There seems to be countless sources confirming egregious tax fraud (and every other crime under the sun), yet nothing ever comes of it. I read that Hunter Biden plead guilty to tax fraud this week, so it's not impossible for the IRS to catch up with well connected people. Yet Cheeto has been getting away with it for decades.

I'll still keep some bubbly in the fridge on the off chance that something finally catches up to the orange sweat stain.

I mean, I know why our elections don't work like that. Current politicians like the system that keeps them in office. It's also very difficult to change the process.

I strongly believe that until we fix the election process, everything we do is treating symptoms rather than the problem. In addition to the mentioned rules, I would add: Term limits, ending gerrymandering, banning stock ownership for politicians, and removing the electoral college.

How can we expect non-corrupt representatives, when the current system begs for money and has so many loopholes to profit from office?

Cool. Now do every hidden fee. Hotels, restaurants, mechanics, phone bills. If something is advertised as $100, it should be $100.

It's horrific stuff. Literally any other job would have you immediately fired, and probably sued.

Police just keep rolling.

Now do everything.
