  • This is me on nearly every level.

    But my little sister just ends up getting drunk, eating all the food and falling off the boat hahaha. So we put her ass in the jail sell till she sobers up.

    When I first read this, I thought your sister was doing this IRL lol

    My brother and I played a few times, but he’s not into it.

    I like playing alone sometimes but then it gets boring and repetitive playing by myself. I’m not into PvP either so I’m okay with meeting AI enemies, but as soon as another human comes around, I usually noped out because I just don’t want to be bothered.











  • Game prices? I understand the Nintendo cult is always stiff. But for the last 10 years these people bitched about $70 games. And now they are just throwing excuse after excuse defending $80 games now. But the lie I’ve been hearing is “Sony has been selling $80 games since the PS5 came out” No… No it hasn’t. There is not one base PS5 game for $80 ever made.

    I’m very much against this and always have been, but I think not everyone has been. Some people will buy these games at any cost, especially when it comes to Nintendo and children. Children don’t understand the true costs and parents just want a happy kid and think it’s not that bad of a price for their kid to be happy. Most probably don’t pay attention to the price to see that it once was $50 and now is $80 for the new games.

    It’s infuriating for me because my boycott effectively means nothing when these people exist. But no matter, I’m happy with my PC and waiting on emulation when it comes to play these games.




  • Was just thinking about this the other day too. I have started to use the Brave browser on my iPhone to watch YouTube videos since it blocks ads natively, but I can’t get the Brave browser on my Apple TV for the same reason. I would love to.

    I am sick to death of these obnoxious, irrelevant ads. And no, paying YouTube for Premium is not a solution.


  • Personally I feel like “awards” like the Razzies are better suited for films that actually tried and failed.

    Freddy Got Fingered wasn’t a masterpiece on the levels of Citizen Kane but it didn’t claim to be. It didn’t try to be a captivating film, trying to tell you a compelling story that would change the world of film. It just set out to be a silly movie with immature humor and I think it was successful in that regard as someone who likes those kind of movies. I’d say it’s one of the best in this specific, niche genre. Whereas I’d say a movie like Epic Movie was more deserving of this since it tried to cater to this audience and genre and failed.

    It’s like rating an oatmeal raisin cookie bad solely because you don’t like oatmeal raisin cookies. It never claimed to be a chocolate chip cookie. It is its own flavor and exists because some people do like it. In the world of cookie flavors, you don’t like oatmeal raisin and that’s okay but it doesn’t mean that that cookie is necessarily bad because that’s not your preference.

    Much of the hate I saw for this movie was from this type of mentality. I was surprised to see it rated so low on IMDb back when I first saw this many years ago. Not because I thought it was a groundbreaking film, but I didn’t realize that people would really go out of their way to give a movie so much hate in a genre they don’t like, to begin with. I don’t like the Twilight movies, but I’d say the same for the hate those movies got since they were successful for the audiences they targeted.
