At current, there are 32k negative reviews. That’s 32,000 people angry enough to go add or modify a review to be negative. The active player base is 100k. As far as “vocal minority” goes…
Television shows are 22-24 minutes, because cable TV should show 6-8 minutes of ads every half hour. 30 second ads in blocks of 3 or 4, multiple times per show.
15 seonds ads are almost too short for a trip to the kitchen. I’m not saying they’re good, but if you want to compare to cable TV, you need to remember the dark times.
Roku is exploring ways to show consumers ads on its TVs even when they are not using its streaming platform: The company has been looking into injecting ads into the video feeds of third-party devices connected to its TVs, according to a recent patent filing....
I waited to get involved until after the Echoes update last summer, and I truly enjoyed 100+ hours of the game.
It still does suffer from inevitably feeling really empty, with billions of copies of the same 4 different coloured/temperatured planets and 8 creature types, but it was still a heck of an experience.

As a Canadian who lives in Alberta, this pains me.
I despise our provincial government. I vote in every election. I reach out to my electors who I disagree with. And it doesn’t matter because a bunch of old “got mine” boomers rich on oil money, keep voting in their shitty friends who are looting the public in plain view.
Why don’t I move? Because the whole fucking world seems to be going this way, and the housing market is insane.

Grilled cheese sandwich. It’s as lazy or as fancy as you’re feeling.
Super lazy? Grease bread with cheese slice. Fry flip eat.
Feeling less lazy as you start? Cut a hole in one of the pieces of bread and fry an egg in it while you toast the other side, and upgrade the cheese. Just be careful. When you start eyeing meats and mustards to pair, you’re in danger of making yourself a pretty epic sandwich.
I got an OLED 1 TB for my birthday yesterday and I’m looking for titles I can download to play when I’m off shore on a ship. I like FPS games but am always looking for the next adventure. What do you suggest?...
Being there was perfectly legal. Attending a riot can be a lot of fun. In fact, if everyone is well behaved, it’s encouraged and called peaceful protest.
Personally, apparently 71% of my gaming time was spent on FFXIV. Although in my defense, most games I’ve played this year were on GOG or old free stuff from Epic I finally got around to.

What games do you use the pads with?
I’ve mostly done joy sticks.
If you could have any game remade by a studio of your choice, who would you want working on what?
For example, I’d take We Happy Few and put it into the hands of either Remedy (of Alan Wake & Control fame) or IO Interactive (of Hitman series fame).
