None. I hate relationships. People are too needy and selfish.

Same. Everyone my age I know are ridiculously sheltered pathetic grown children who don't want to do anything with their lives except play games and watch anime all day. It's kind of lonely. :/

Capitalism working as intented

RIP man furnace humidity shot down -80% :(

At least if you were a billionaire you could probably fund the cure for your cancer

People are surprised when corporations solely exist to religiously and blindly maximize quarterly shareholder profits

A competent IT department makes sure nobody does.

Right, also an important consideration if developers want their software to run in Vista and later

Your developers are actually stupid, TC

Oh, the good ol' "assume all your users have admin permissions" software trope

"Works on my machine" testing methodology is getting more common these days

That's a lot better. Though I still don't see why they couldn't just take his video game model and pretty it up for cinema.

It starts with using a general term like "the rich" and the goes from there. Stereotype an entire group of people - race, ethnicity, sexual preference, etc. Then you have a group of people you can throw blame on whenever you want.

And then we have people here who generalize the poor, saying stuff like they wouldn't be poor if they weren't so lazy, or mentally ill, like systemic or generational poverty doesn't exist

It's not bOtH sIdEs

Over the past decade, extremists of every stripe have killed 372 Americans. 74 percent of those killings were committed by right wing extremists. Only 2 percent of those deaths were at the hands of left wing extremists. Mayo told us:
"I dont want to give moral equivalence to the two sides because one side is fighting against white supremacy. On the Antifa side, theyve never murdered anyone but there have been many murders done by white supremacists, so we have to be concerned about that movement."

Yikes, wonder if the mods are Trumpeters

Customize how? I have BL1, 2 and the pre-sequel.
Can you give an example since it might be a reason to play them

You can pick parts from different manufacturers and those parts affect the various base stats of your gun and attributes, and then you can set the level which affects the damage multipliers. Like Jakobs barrels give it more stability, Torgue receivers give it explosive rounds, etc.

You can completely customize your weapon components in the Borderlands games with a save editor. So Borderlands could have crafting but they just hate fun.

And yeah, the best solution to a bully problem is to hurt them. It's unfortunate, but true.

"Oh, violence never solved anything!"

I remember telling my bully to stop bullying me. They didn't.

I remember trying to ignore them, they kept bullying me.

I remember telling an adult I was being bullied, nothing changed.

...Then I remember the time I knocked a bully down and kicked them in the face, repeatedly.

Was never bothered by that person again. That was the most important lesson I learned in school.

...But if you're not strong enough to fight your bully, that's a shit situation to be in.

Yup, been there too.

The aforementioned bully was lifting my friend off his feet and strangling him against the wall. He was passing out and turning purple so I shattered a baseball bat over his head with an adrenaline fueled swing. Of course I was suspended but he stopped bothering us.

My school had a bully who was 6'5" and 300 pounds at the age of 15 who would regularly put kids in the emergency room. Administration was desperate to sweep it under the rug because he played football.

It's probably causing side effects like anxiety but no one really knows yet \_()_/

wasnt it in development for like 5 years since they repurposed it from their aborted saturn sonic title?

Yeah they had to port it from Saturn to Dreamcast like halfway through development

Adventure had some fantastic ideas, but the tech and time restrictions really watered them down. I'd be interested in seeing what they could do today.

Yup, China is buying up the USA. Why do you think this happens?

Authoritarians are winning

Blizzard gets a ton of revenue from China. Corporations don't care about those pesky things like ethics and human rights

I bought an Asus gaming laptop in 2009 for $1000, and it was faster than $2500 Macbooks. It took Apple like 4 years to be competitive.

It sounds delicious, I love spicy food

Sounds epic. Keep us posted TC.

Try getting more than hearsay evidence and maybe you'll convince Senate Republicans.

There's plenty, but Trumpers won't read it like the last dozen times it's been repeated

Corporations will align themselves with the most powerful government entities, no matter how authoritarian, to maximize profits. Capitalism

You just have to become a billionaire too and buy legislation like the rest of them. Capitalism is great!

Trumpers would vote for Putin if it were possible

I had a flight stick for PC in like 1998 that had feedback like that. It could vibrate and pull the stick depending on what was happening in game.

Also they're claiming quicker load times with the SSD, but I think they're underestimating developers' ability to add more shit on there to negate performance improvements
