I'm not even looking forward to ES6 anymore, I'm fully aware it would just be a slightly prettier Skyrim with all the same shortcomings.

It'll actually be uglier when compared to current skyrim mods.

With CoD staying on PS this has become the biggest nothing burger.

Activision-Blizzard on console is just CoD and remasters of 25 year old games (Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Tony Hawk). Plus all the dead franchises like guitar hero.

Yes, Diablo 4 just came out, so maybe Diablo 5 will be on Xbox only but that'll be in 2035 so who cares.

TopicWait, why are the actors and writers on strike?

oh okay you're just trolling now i feel kinda foolish posting and engaging with you in good faith, my bad

I'm not trolling. What's the value in renting an apartment? You have a door with a lock, except that lock can be broken into in seconds. Okay, so what's the point?

Join a gym for showers, get some wifi, sleep in a hostel if you have to. Or move, but people really get upset when you say that.

if you resent the writers/actors for producing what you consider to be trash quality material and therefore you don't want them to get paid, why are you okay with the executives who run the companies making this trash material getting paid six figures a day to run that company in a way that produces trash content

Because they hype up the stock holders and the stock holders make the money go brrrrrrt.

Have you seen the rent prices in Los Angeles my dude

People lived in caves so everyone wanted to live in caves. People lived in houses so everyone wanted to live in houses. People lived on the side of the road so everyone wanted to live on the side of the road.

At some point it's just funner to join the party. Nobody cares anymore so how is it any different than camping?

but you know this already

I didn't know this and they're not worth $200 anyway.

They hired a Jimmy Kimmel writer to make the script for Quantumania. There's no way anyone would pay $200 for more of that.

I almost fell on the floor at my local Wal-Mart when I read they wanted more pay.

I literally thought they were on strike because TV shows, movies, acting and writing have become such complete dog shit that they were simply too embarrassed to continue working until everyone was legally required to make quality entertainment again.

I can't believe they want more money. Nothing anyone has done in the entertainment industry over the last 3+ years deserves to be celebrated let alone see increased pay.

Are people actually rooting for the actors and writers?

Saturday night is the Kentucky Derby. The average horse has a heart weight of 8.5 pounds. Secretariat, the fastest horse of all-time, had a heart weighing 22 pounds. He is the only horse in history to be continuously gaining speed throughout the race and even as he crossed the finish line.

He owns the all-time record in all three races of the Triple Crown: The Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and his Magnum Opus at the Belmont Stakes. These records were considered unbreakable when they happened in 1973, and 50 years later that still holds true. Also, this was the first Triple Crown win since 1948 and over the last 75 years has only happened 5 times.

But it wasn't just that Secretariat won, he won in style. He went head to head against Sham, considered one of the top 10 greatest horses of all-time.

At the Kentucky Derby Secretariat was dead last and around the first bend he was 10th out of 13 horses. By the time he caught up to the other horses around the second (and final) bend he was in the middle of the track. That means he not only has the all-time record, but he didn't use the shorter inside track to achieve it.

Here's a video of the Kentucky Derby:

The Preakness Stakes was next and again Secretariat was dead last out of the gate. During the first bend Secretariat was in the middle of the track and within 10 seconds passed almost all the other horses. This is considered the greatest bend in horse racing history. He's going so fast it almost appears as if the other horses are barely joggin instead of racing:

Last is the Belmont Stakes, Secretariat's greatest race. There was only 5 horses in the race and Secretariat had good opening position. Sham, again one of the top 10 horses of all-time, tried to go toe to toe with Secretariat and this was the result:
