YoBlazer 02/28/24 8:09:25 PM #224 | Gonna go to Wal-Mart at around 9pm my time and try to talk them into selling it to me tonight. Really doubt it'll work, but I'll hopefully at least confirm they have it in stock so I can pick it up early tomorrow.

even if they don't give him immunity (and how can they?) they are giving him 2 free months and an excuse to protest something else if it fails. Yeah, it's clear as day that the Supreme Court is just as politicized as any other powerful governmental body in the country. If Trump wins, I wouldn't be surprised if Thomas (hell, maybe Alito too since he's just a couple years younger) "graciously" retires so he can be replaced by a younger crazy. Fucking Ginsburg for clinging on until she was 100 years old and then being hailed as a hero. --- Burnin, Blazin |

The second one is offensive and I will never forgive them. The new line is soooo much worse! Yeah, first I'm hearing about this and it sucks. Changing the final line of dialogue from something mysterious and impactful to something so generic... why? --- Burnin, Blazin |

Now if only we could boot MTG. I wish, but MTG seems much more politically cunning and devious. I think she's even worse than Boebert, but at least Boebert is a complete moron and will soon be gone. I sadly think MTG will be around a while. --- Burnin, Blazin |
Topic | What's going on with Bitcoin |
YoBlazer 02/28/24 11:21:30 AM #23 | I sold my tiny amounts of BitCoin and Ethereum a couple days ago for about $13k. Looks like I sold to early, but I still made a large gain, so I'm happy with my yields. Probably gonna hold onto that $13k and just buy more at the next crash.

Topic | Politics Containment Topic 411: Presidential Election MMXX Rebirth |
YoBlazer 02/28/24 10:36:00 AM #61 | Boebert is done in politics, and I can only hope that she's burned too many bridges for even the right wing media circuit to offer her employment. With limited prospects to earn the living to which she's now probably accustomed, she might be the first national level politician to start an OF.
Not even joking, I wouldn't be surprised at all if she does it in like 18 months. --- Burnin, Blazin |

YoBlazer 02/28/24 12:18:31 AM #203 | My Gamestop isn't doing a special release, so I'd need to wait until 11am Thursday to pick it up from them. Earliest physical option for most people might be Wal-Mart (assuming it's in stock). I'm hoping my closest Wal-Mart will let me buy it tomorrow night - maybe I can give em some shpiel about 9pm our time being Thursday on the east coast, I dunno.

YoBlazer 02/20/24 7:10:23 PM #9 | I just picked it up for the first time in over a year to fool around. Zipped around the world to get my Reduvia to +9 without beating any main bosses. Maybe I'll use this as my DLC character - but I have several that can conceivably work.
Oh, and I do actually have a file specifically dedicated to this DLC - it has every single site of grace and unique item pickup (apart from super low drop rate weapons) through the snow area, but I didn't trigger any point of no return stuff just in case. --- Burnin, Blazin |
Topic | Eurogamer reporting Switch 2 release pushed back to Q1 2025 |
YoBlazer 02/17/24 3:57:20 PM #24 | With all the talk of Nintendo wanting to prevent another Wii U/GameCube misstep, I really doubt they'll gamble on their next launch being carried by Metroid. At this point, they have a good five franchises (Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Smash) that would do a much better job in that role.

Topic | C/D: BotW > TotK |
YoBlazer 02/16/24 11:47:53 PM #12 | I disliked how TotK's world seemed less "natural." The Shrines all emitted magical green swirls in the sky, and the map stations were basically giant bat signals. The mess of lights made the world look messy and un-aesthetic. I much prefer the gentle orange glow of BotW's shrines.
It's a very minor gripe, but one I've never heard anyone mention before. --- Burnin, Blazin |

YoBlazer 02/16/24 11:07:14 PM #54 | Realo has a few hundred thousand followers on Tiktok, I believe. I follow him on Facebook (maybe instagram too) but I think TikTok is his bread and butter. He posts about real estate and Vegas tips aimed at both tourists and locals who might be looking for cool lesser known places.
And seriously, no one's mentioned Ed Bellis? I thought he was a published author. --- Burnin, Blazin |

YoBlazer 02/15/24 2:39:03 PM #35 | This looks better than I would have expected for a 30-year reboot, and look at that viewcount! Millennials are hyped for this.
But yeah, that Gambit/Wolverine piggyback ride is way outta left field and doesn't fit either character. Gambit the loner wouldn't be eager to accept a piggyback, and fuckin Wolverine of all people wouldn't be offering one. It also doesn't make sense in terms of combat strategy or either of their abilities - maybe if it was Colossus or something, but not Wolverine. --- Burnin, Blazin |

YoBlazer 02/13/24 12:03:34 AM #8 | Does the 80% discount include stocks and real estate? Anyone can buy and sell stock, and having the ability to sell at 4-5x the price you just bought it for... can obviously generate millions of dollars a day, assuming you don't get arrested for it.

It amazes me a lot of people cling to rings being the most important factor in such a team dependent game. Rings didn't mean as much to the GOAT debate (at least in football) until Brady entered the league, which coincided with the time the internet took over as the ultimate debate ground for sports. Before that, when most of these discussions were relegated to television and print media, I saw just as much (if not more) GOAT accolades showered on Jim Brown and Lawrence Taylor as I did on Joe Montana. --- Burnin, Blazin |

YoBlazer 02/12/24 8:15:57 PM #14 | I wouldn't argue with him, and he's a product of modern wrestling, where the travel schedule isn't as rigorous.
The wrestling grind from the "old days" reads like the most grueling job in the entertainment industry. Those guys had the road schedule of truck drivers, an intense gym schedule that they needed to maintain no matter how banged up they were... and then there was the actual nightly performance. It's no wonder so many of them were beyond fucked up and died young. --- Burnin, Blazin |

Yeah, the only difference between soccer and football with ads is that football ads are loud and in your face. Soccer ads are subtle, but they're always visible. I think most people find ad breaks - actual commercials - to be far more obtrusive and annoying than sponsored jerseys or background graphics. The average soccer game has about ten minutes of commercials, all during halftime. The average football game has about five times as much. The "only" difference is a very significant one in this case. --- Burnin, Blazin |

Super Bowl commercials stopped being funny when the "I only watch for the commercials" trend started Maybe, but SB commercials have been culturally relevant for ages, at least a quarter century. I remember teachers talking to us students about them in elementary school, which would have been mid-to-late 90s. To broaden that topic a bit - every time I watch a big football game, I'm reminded why soccer will probably never become big here. Everything about football just perfectly ties into (and has probably influenced) the American traditions of consumerism and excess. Major US corporations probably shudder at the idea of soccer taking over, and suddenly being forced to pump their advertising through a sport where the games are shorter and ad breaks can only be done at halftime. If it sounds like I'm being strange and edgy, it's because I am. I love the actual sport of football (played it in high school), but the culture that surrounds it often makes me feel gross and self-loathing, like my brain just ate a gigantic brain-donut or something. --- Burnin, Blazin |

Cases like this always seem bigger at the time because of the way social media makes everything seem worse but I think most people assumed unless he was prosecuted for what he did it would blow over eventually all be it at a reduced viewer count. Pretty much. I expect him to be far less visible in the gaming community (no attending conventions or other publicized events) for the next few years, but he'll still make videos and earn a living. One day he'll say "the charity was audited and the IRS found nothing wrong" and he'll try to re-emerge in public life. --- Burnin, Blazin |
Topic | The modern NBA is unwatchable. |
YoBlazer 02/10/24 2:53:54 AM #43 | I've never actually heard anyone refer to the Shaq/Kobe Lakers as a superteam before. Shaq joined the Lakers as their centerpiece during Kobe's rookie season. There was certainly hype surrounding Kobe, but he was still an 18-year-old rookie who only started a handful of games that season. Obviously, things worked out, and Kobe grew into one of the game's best players alongside Shaq. But when I think of "superteam," I think of cases where an established star joins a team that has other established stars. The 96-97 Lakers definitely weren't that.

insane yeah. But I miss those days. Arguing over the iraq war is better than fighting over maga politics. I'm Iraqi-American and I'm sorry but this is textbook privilege. I was a high schooler during the Iraq War and was both repulsed and threatened by the jingoism. I knew the war would be a terrible idea, but I didn't have the courage to speak my mind because I didn't want the other kids who were swept up in it to label me a traitor or a terrorist. I'm not hand-waving the threat of MAGA. I certainly recognize it as a real threat to the future of our country, but I find the idea of "longing" for those days because the online arguments were easier to be disconnected and honestly hurtful. --- Burnin, Blazin |
