I still buy games primarily on disc/cartridge over digital because I like the thought of being able to re-sell it once I'm done with it if I don't think I'll be replaying it down the road, or if the game just ends up being disappointing. I learned my lesson hard with Watch Dogs which was so drat hyped as PS4's first post-launch AAA game and it ended up being a mediocre GTA clone with the hacking feeling super gimmicky. I traded it back in for $45 a few days after buying it, I'd have been pissed if I'd dropped $60 on it digitally at launch and ended up stuck with it. The only time I buy digital games is cheap Steam or Humble Bundle sales, or freebies from Twitch and such. Pre-ordering WoW expansions is about the only time I'll pay full price for something digitally.

I quit buying CDs when I realized all I did with them was rip them to my hard drive and then never play them again.

the only reason I buy DVDs/Blu-Rays is for the bonus features, especially stuff like director's commentary and behind the scenes stuff, but that unfortunately seems to be more and more rare There's no quicker way for me to pass on a Blu-Ray if the only bonus feature is a loving trailer

God I can't believe the poo poo my company's head chemist pulled last week, guy is an ancient boomer who has Obama toilet paper, talks a lot about guns, and will tell you how much he hates the government that if he wasn't a chemist would definitely be the elder statesman in sovcit compound in his homestate of Montana. He prints out 30 sheets of a fake HR sheet that said if you want to make a complaint you have to admit to a list of 10 things like "You have female like feelings" or "You are a Queer". The person who passed these out who thought it was "funny" was my boss/the VP of our company/part owner. I was kind of surprised that my coworkers of mostly 30 year Gen Xers who are mostly "Socially Liberal Fiscally Conservative" were also pissed and shocked at how unprofessional this was. We aren't going to raise a stink about it though since I'm a coward and know that my coworkers would instantly stab me in the back if I tried building solidarity. Pay and benefits are too good for me to lose the job over this too despite getting tired of the commute and having to deal with said Gen Xers tell me how I need to move out of my parent's house despite the fact that I basically have a studio apartment with free wifi and rent.

It's hosed up how over a barrel jobs can have you, even good jobs. One of my co-workers didn't get her contract renewed for bullshit reasons but I'm losing my tenure at the end of this year so I have to lay low and I feel terrible about it.

You should document this so you can sue over a hostile workplace and clean them out.

Now that said, don't let the horrible first game keep you from playing Watch_Dogs 2, which is a ton of fun and about as close to a modern GTA: San Andreas as we're ever likely to get.

So I found out about something tonight that explains some stuff, it's physiological, deeply personal and probably connected to my disability. There's nothing dangerous about it per se and isn't super common for me but it's kinda hosed up and I hate that there's another thing I have to learn about at 31 that's like "by the way this is another hosed up thing about your life that no one will care about but you probably but it's still weird and will gnaw at your brain! Have fun, rear end in a top hat!"

I should be clear I don't have a medical diagnosis of it but it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and explains some symptoms that I never really understood before. And it all fits.

High five, fellow discovering-the-truth-about-their-physical-and-mental-problems-in-their-early-thirties buddy. It is the dirt worst. Silver lining: Being aware of it means being better prepared for it, and hopefully that means 35 and 40 will suck less.

It's less like a specific revelation and more like me feeling like, really? I don't have enough poo poo already?  Still, cheers, and I hope your stuff works out man.

I bought it as a gag Christmas gift for my friend. He opened the present, looked at me, and said "Dude, I thought we were friends." He's never played it, however it does make an excellent coaster for his Scotch.

Does anyone else enjoy using save edits in rpgs to overpower your character as soon as the program is created? I have no qualms about cheating in games, at least single player games.

In Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue why was Michelangelo, of all the Ninja Turtles, the one they used to make kids not wanna do drugs because it seems like he probably smokes weed but he is also a fully functional Ninja Turtle. This question occurred to me just now and I had nowhere else to put it.

Michelangelo (the artist) was basically a monk who never partook in anything so they transferred that innate narc-ness to his turtle reincarnation

God I feel so aggravated today, I need to stop talking about my personal/dating life to my coworkers who get so nebby and think they are giving great advice like "Drink booze" or "go to the dance floor" or "contact 40 women on okcupid everyday!". I swear its so distracting (especially since I had to get samples off the roof of our building which is really time consuming in taking them off and collecting the data) that I was in a rush to get everything finished. At least there I can go to the gym to avoid the Pens losing tonight (which would really set me off if I had to watch them lose) and hell maybe Raw will have a fun match like that Rollins vs Finn match from last week.

whowever was asking about Marvel Unlimited: pros: -nearly every comic book every produced under a Marvel imprint and now the Dark Horse Star Wars stuff -you can stream them or download up to 12 books at a time -the iOS app is stable cons: -Marvel's webservices are coal powered -the android app is flaky I had it for a few years and really liked it. Even went to the ultra money mark tier so I could get free poo poo. Which was not: much an action figure and invites to showings in San Diego and NY. I'm in the midwest, you fuckin idiots.
