"LET THE FREE MARKET DECIDE!" said the TN Republicans before wrecking cannabis stores to save their alcohol industry pals from the free market that chose weed instead of booze I can't wait to get rid of these bozos in the mid-term.

Nintendo deserves credit for not pursuing the tech rat race like Sony and MS did two decades ago in order to create financial stability. Even when Nintendo slipped into the red twice, Satoru Iwata and his CEOs cut their pay to save their workers instead of doing layoffs. Sony/MS could never...

To the libs who are more fixated on criticizing Platner supporters, Bernie Sanders, and progressives instead of helping Maine win, step aside and let the lefties who actually care help us regroup and move on. THIS is what we needed, not the petty childishness many of you libs have displayed today.

I live in Nashville. I can confirm, and yes, this still irks us. These are the people who decided that Memphis doesn't deserve political representation, yet look what they do and who and what they support. Medicare is gutted, but at least we approved of Elon's tunnel and a 2 billion stadium! Ffs

It's even worse than I assumed. The game is only $3. THREE. DOLLARS. New consoles cost like a grand now, and GTAVI will be $100 for the full experience, yet 55,000 of you can't bear to lose $3?! If you can afford a gaming PC or Steam Deck, you can afford a $3 game. JFC bsky.app/profile/imre...

Sadly, this isn't even the first time a good indie game was screwed over for being shorter the refund time limit. Steph Sterling did a video of another indie losing money due to this & said, "Sigh, come on guys, be better than this." Be stingy about $80 AAA games, not $20 or under indie titles.

I did nothing of the sort. I wasn't pro or ant-Platner, and I'm not dismissing the fact that he needs to go. However, you libs decided not to make this about saving Maine from the GOP and would rather waste time getting mad at people who chose wrong. This isn't helpful. STOP IT.

Look around the other replies to the original post. I'm not pulling that out of nowhere. That's EXACTLY what you libs are doing, as always. How about you go fuck yourself?

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

This had to happen, but I wish we never reached this point. Not when libs using Platner as an excuse to attack Bernie AGAIN. Not when it's causing disarray among leftists. Especially not against a GOP who will take any malcontent to win and destroy democracy. This sucks on every level imaginable.

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

I was ambivalent at best with Platner. However, seeing a lot of you libs use this to attack Bernie instead of regrouping and restrategizing shows that you're not sincere in helping the party. You just want to scream, "I told you so," and call leftists idiots. Hope is right to call you out on this.

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

I hope you have this energy for the Dems who endorsed Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema for destroying the Build Back Better bill. Also, the genius DNC kneecapped Bernie in two elections in ways that gravely hurt the Dems and got us Trump. Your obsession with Bernie is petty and weird and unhelpful.

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

They don't care, as long as they get to attack Bernie for the gall of making voters want better from our status quo loving Dem candidates and "stopping history." You're exactly right. None of this is good, but seeing these libs acting this petty reinforces why I'll never trust them again.

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

More self-absorbed and dangerous than Trump? Do you really hate Bernie that much? Oh, right. A lot of you still hate him for "interfering" with Hillary, even though she did just fine losing 2016 on her own. The DNC under Schumer has failed us for 18 months, but no, it's Bernie's fault. Yeesh.

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

The DNC blatantly kneecapped Bernie in two elections, yet he's the false flag ratfucker. That's way more revealing of libs like you than Bernie. Maybe if he won in 2016, we wouldn't be in this mess with Trump. You ever thought about that? Of course not.

The irony is that all the chuds who are praising Microsoft for gutting DEI and accessibility consultants still won't buy anything new from Xbox. Gee. It's almost like purging women, PoC, and the LGBT doesn't help create new and better games, especially when they got replaced by AI...

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Sigh. I wasn't exactly anti-Platner, but I really, really hoped that we weren't headed down a disappointing road with the Maine election. That ain't happening anymore. Platner needs to step down, but I'm not happy about this. No matter what happens next, the GOP wins. Ugh.

The tech industry can make all consoles more expensive as resources are pooled into AI while firing thousands of workers who don't have proper protections and the same losers will keep pretending it's because of women or minorities in games that everything sucks now

PS1 demo discs were a '90s gaming gold mine. I knew so many people who collected them and lost hundreds of hours, going through those intro levels. All for free. The Official Playstation Magazine and Pizza Hut demos fueled the entire generation. Too bad the PS2 DVDs kinda killed that...

Look at what a Starcraft Battle Chest had...even in 2007, lol This battle chest is missing the OG instruction manual, which had detailed background lore on each race, and descriptions on their dozen factions and unit/structure tech trees, but even still, it had two strategy guides. TWO!

This is the Starcraft 1 Battle Chest, which I bought around the summer 2007. The battle chest contained two strategy guides for the original game and Brood War expansion, a Blizzard product catalog, and a World of Warcraft trial disc.

The 2007 Battle Chest doesn't include the 1998 version's 100-page manual that was packaged with the original game, but it's still a very impressive looking collection for only $20 MSRP.

Spider-Man 3 was a financial success, despite the brutal critical reception, but that honestly serves the point of this entire thread. Cis white men can fail upward in ways that their bipoc & female counterparts never will; to everyone's detriment.

Once again, the Christian right never had a problem with Sharia Law. They just wanted to be the ones to do the religious indoctrination through their white Jesus instead of the brown "radical Islamic Muslim terrorists".

As someone who grew up Southern Baptist, I can assure Zilla and others that most Christians haven't read the Bible front to back, let alone understand the damn text. Most of these kids will only memorize the key verses that fuel this conservative ideology and then ignore the rest. It's 95% BS.

It's amazing that corpos created online passes when the 2010s used gaming market "stole" from their profits and forced DMCA on streamers because every unauthorized song being played equals a lost sale. And yet, when they abandoned retail and steal from us digitally, they don't see the problem.

t3h_dow @t3hdow.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Hey, corpos! If you want loyal digital customers, give them enough assurances to ease their concerns. Things like still providing physical media, assuring that digital media won't shut down from licensing deals, and in the rare event when that's unavoidable, PROVIDE REFUNDS. But nope...

Code in box? What's the point of buying GTAVI physically when there are no discs, and you need to download the full game, anyway? I'd rather see Rockstar charge $100 to cover the 4 Blu-Rays instead of doing this crap. Making this a pre-order in its current form is an absolute joke.

You know very well that 85% of Jews don't support AIPAC, not even close. You also know that AIPAC doesn't even claim to be a Jewish group. You also know that there are more "Christian Zionists" in the US, than there are Jews, of any beliefs. You are making US Jews less safe.

Screenshot of tweet by @JGreenblattADL:
"No matter what spin he puts on it, Mayor Mamdani has chosen to double down on his vilification and demonization of those who support Israel and a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

In his mind, does that make 85%+ of the Jewish community “monsters”?"

Even if I ignored Microsoft's regressive DEI policies and their complicity in the Palestinian genocide, the last two years of layoffs and price hikes made me lose all respect for them. I would've spent $600 for an XBSX with the Perfect Dark reboot if it was still a thing, but nope. It died for AI.
