  • I own a home and its insane how people who have never owned underestimate the cost of actually owning a property. “I can pay $1500 in rent, but apparently I cant afford a $1500 mortgage”… like… you probably cant. Banks arent not lending to you because they dont want to make an assload off interest. They tried lending out money to everyone who swore they could keep up the payments and 2008 happened.

    IMO the thing to do hypothetically is email and CC the news desks of the most legitimate newspapers you can think of with a link to the data.

    I kind of feel for Linus. He is clearly NOT the guy to be in charge of a media company that recieved a 100 million dollar buyout offer and in charge of 50+ people. I genuinely believe he has good intentions and isnt trying to do anything evil or anti consumer.

    Doesnt mean his fuckups dont have real world impacts for others though. Hiring a CEO to run the “business” for him was absolutely the smartest thing he has done in a long time.






  • I hate to advocate for live service but…

    An open world MMO racing game with a map that has roadworks that change the layout, on a weekly basis. Cops that do crackdowns on certain makes of cars, Carjackers trying to steal your ride, an ever evolving racing scene, weather events… give me a career mode where pushing my luck and teasing the cops too much costs me real progress. New songs in the radio every month, new events, new storylines and new arcs.

    E.A could absolutely put it together and it could be great. But they would microtransaction the hell out of it, P2W, monetise the arse out of it and make it terrible. Because EA
