    Kinda hard when you are putting most of your money to your day to day life.
    Takes some money to move around.

    I make more now working in a office than I would've made as an electrician.
    Also, the hours sucked. It is brutal to work in Florida outside in the summer. Or where there is nothing to move air. Also, much higher chance of dying on the job.

    He is a CEO of an American Company. He is dishonest and greedy by default.
    Plus I am pretty sure he has been caught with his foot in his mouth. Just not recently.

  4. Pay-to-win. There is no free to play.
    You win by collecting the bling. Who cares about the game when you have that $100 emote and $100 costume.

    You can throw in MS, Google, and pretty much every tech company.

    Denuvo is known to suck performance out of a game. Never heard of it trashing SSDs thou
    Also, if you do not want me to pirate in the future, put your games on multiple platforms. If everything is going off into its own little walled garden now, I will revert to it.
    TVs and movie are almost completely this now.

  8. Great
    This is going to be happening more and more now. Even with the failure that is FO76
    The AAA games are going no where, and indies are an incestuous mess.

    Flash Storage is a definite improvement over older media like those.
    USB 3 is better that 2 and 1, but you can still plug in you 1 and 2 devices into a 3 port no problem.
    I don't really know the history of Firewire

    So we got two improvements over time there. This is not that. Bluetooth headsets are still expensive compared to normal ones. A cheap set of earphones is only $5-10. I have yet to see a BT set this cheap. And if there is, it will still sound better than the cheap wired ones. They also have batteries that need to be charged.


    The biggest kicker, is when the phone will lock down Bluetooth with DRM so only their fancy overprice, terrible sounding, headphones will work.

    Now tell us how you don't use social media (because you have no friends), make phone calls (because you have no friends) and use a ridiculously unworkable seventy-three step backup process to ensure that you never lose data even though the only data you have is hentai.

    Texting is faster than calling or social media and I have a 3 step backup plan that is CTRL-A, CTRL-C, CTRL-V with data that is only mostly hentai.

    The 4x10 work week is great for people with low to moderate stress desk jobs

    Not really. How many people want to in an office for 10 hrs, much less 8. I honestly check out around the 5-6 mark.

    10 hour days just suck in general.

  19. Like any one in power would do this. They will let everything go to shit and blame it on the Millenials and Gen Z. Which they are already doing.

  20. Its not like we value it either.
    We keep the same assholes in and expect things to change.
    Also, militaries are a fail of the human race for still needing to exist after 8000 yearr.
