I was permitted to close my account…without any hassle. Sign into my.roku.com and delete account is as the bottom. Selecting “don’t want to use this anymore” gives you a box with 255 charachter limit (because of course they don’t want to hear a real reason) and then when you hit send you just get “Thank you, account closed, if you come back you will need a new account”

Happy to hear you got some good news, it’s always hard to see a pillar of the community struggling.
The whole point of the Rexodus was to find/create a place more friendly and helpful to the average user. Hope you find a tratment path forward that works for you, and keeps you active.
It’s not terribly far off. The barebones brutalist style where the chairs are attached to the floor, hard plastic molded tabletops. Lack of items that can be moved or taken completely conveys “do your business and leave”. Obviously a screen that size that wouldn’t be that accessible in a prison, but it only adds the harsh nature and lack of human touch of the room.
“Brutalist buildings are characterised by minimalist constructions that showcase the bare building materials and structural elements over decorative design.”
I would welcome expanding my knowledge but what style do you consider buildings of few decorative designs other than their harsh geometric edges and shapes? The inner walls of a prison are often the outer wall. Just straight rows of cinderblock. Inside and outside, the structures lack other architechtural stylings because it creates hiding places or is viewed as extra work/cost during construction.Everything ends in a corner or an edge - no soft edges. As far as my experiences are concerned, that lines up pretty well unless you would rather use the word “spartan” in terms of how little decoration the state puts up.
No, I see your point - brutalism is making an interesting structure and shaping internal spaces using building materials as a limitation.
Where prisons are function-over-form and may appear to meet the style - it is merely coincidental and is not usually artistic expressionism but rather necessity to perform a task.
McShungles is just ultramodern design that comes from a Corp cheaping out
This has been disproven and was called out at the time of the increase. Games cost less to develop now than ever. Microtransactions and recurrent subscription transaction1s like battlepasses mean a shit game gets to live longer than it would deserve. People have careers in the field and languages common to the industry - this isn’t a “new and groundbreaking” industry - its one of the largest on the planet.
Studios are absolutely not passing any of that $10 to lower level staff. It was to see if the market would bear it, and no other reason - and corporate defenders came out of the woodwork to pretend BILLION dollar corporations need more money. If videogames were too expensive to make, they’d not be spending so much, now would they?

What does this even mean, I can’t “follow” users on Jerboa. Is this some shit zuck added to his specific Threads then wanks about how he has all the followers?
And it’s not even new. The audacity to charge $70 for a makeup artist to touch hp a ps3 game. It baffles me that bloodborne is a title Sony refuses to allow a port of, even as they let first party in-house developments and ps exclusive since ps2 era - Ratchet and Clank and God of War go to pc.
Who knows maybe I will be swinging it around my house when I’m alone before the other half gets home. Thats the part where it needs to not have a weird weight distribution or the blade come loose from the hilt.
Sign is trash - owner wants to get rid of the “silly cartoon swords” but they make too much money.
Not looking for Netflix and chill but you wanna play Helldivers? We’ve got a bunch of people together that seem to play semi-regularly rn and if you wanted to make friends hanging out is the first step
Fair enough, I also host dnd with some friends if you want to listen in, or if not don’t feel pressured.
But for all of us after high school, any new hobby will mean meeting established friend groups and will always be difficult, I understand the pain. I have faith in you finding new friends.
You mean dressing up someone as a political boogeyman and perpetuating a cult of personality for the sole reason of antagonizing another political party is NOT how you like to be seen through the lens of self reflection?
Crazy. But ultimately if someone decides “dark brandon” isn’t an image they want to perpetuate, fine - but don’t back off something because it “looks bad”, back off because you learned something, or your perspective actually changed.
This is after they put DRM in games, by patch, years after some of their launches. They did a little more than ‘not meet expectations’ in more than one way
I love how the source meme is probably the first high quality tier 4 meme in a long time. So much goes into understanding it.
spoilerFor those that havent seen the term, Tiered memes require knowledge of an earlier meme, the higher the tier the more memes go into it. In this case 1.scrat from ice age 2.the American police being trained to be afraid of everything 3.taylor Swifts jet 4.the actual event of the shooting In this meme though we’re referencing the Become Ungovernable, instead of Taylor swifts jet.
