Half of them aren’t in China though. It’s dropshippers, so you still get your cheap death traps, but you get them in a few days, Amazon get their enormous cut, and they get to take no responsibility when it burns your house down.

No vibration is a strange choice given that Nintendo and Sony went out of their way to make that much better in recent years.

Lack of trackpad is more understandable. Sony have had that for two generations now, and I’ve never really seen it used as anything other than a big Select button. I bounced off the Steam Controller simply because games designed for controllers feel much better with thumbsticks. If I want to play a mouse controlled game like Civ, I will use a mouse. Even from my sofa.

Or the funders get bored of waiting after ten years of “no Mars yet” and cancel the project, leaving you with a half finished rocket.

Unironically yes.

And what good did it do for cigarettes? It’s not like you’re going to look at the pack and go “oh shit, it’s bad for me?”

Everyone I know who gave up smoking recently, did so purely for cost reasons and took up vaping instead.

Plus it’s unlikely to change anyone’s mind. At this point you’re either pro or anti Trump and you’ve had at least eight years to pick your side.

I’m sick of being told what I should and shouldn’t be eating tbh.

Seen plenty of scares over the years about fats, saturated fats, eggs, sugars, carbs, glutens, red meat, meat… Now Ultra Processed Food.

At this point, it’s just food. If you’re too fat eat less of it. If it’s actually dangerous don’t sell it.

Probably for the best given the state of those two.

You could probably go 5 or 6 times before a policeman would say “Come on Mr Biden, sir. The White House is this way.”

I guess whether it’s worth it depends on whether you hate writing code or reading code the most.

Half Life 2 and it’s episodes are always on a massive sale in a Valve bundle.

There’s a lot of stuff there you won’t play, but it’s a must have for the Half Life and Portal series.

Also Wolfenstein: The New Order and Doom 2016 are great.

Shit, most of Amazon is that as well.

And the product thumbnails that all look like sex toys.

If they haven’t been doing so for at least a decade, I’m sure their shareholders will want to know why not.

Oh we already had that.

Yeah, it’s all on Twitter and Facebook.

Why hang out in the run down Nazi bar when the big chain bars are all accepting Nazis now?

We couldn’t have it in the UK either. Too expensive. We needed bulletproof vests and incubators.

Too complicated as well. In a country that had the football pools. I still don’t understand the football pools. I mean, look at this shit.

My nan played that. I’m pretty sure she could understand Greens 1 > Lib Dems 2 > Labour 3

Jellyfin popcorn is much cheaper. I just grab it from the farmer’s field while he’s not looking.

Hey, I’ve seen this one!

If they gave a fuck about sustainability they wouldn’t be hosting the Olympics in Paris in the middle of summer.
