I've played for about an hour and agree with your assessment. I still have it installed but I doubt I will revisit it.

I've switched to South of Midnight and it's amazing. Not everyone's type of game - and certainly not a puzzle game - but the graphics, music, story, and gameplay combine to make it one of the best games I've played in a long, long time.

Same with This Charming Man by The Smiths and Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty

At some point in my lifetime, the mindset switched from "I'm investing because I want to see long-term, steady growth and get regular dividends" to "I want to make as much money as possible as quickly as possible and damn the consequences to others".

The short-sightedness and greed is destroying so much.

I had a feeling this was going to be Kensington before I even clicked the link.

It feels like ageism is more pronounced at startups and tech companies - at least, that is my perception based on real world and online discussions.

I'm 50, work at a large, established manufacturing/distribution company and haven't experienced any ageism that I know of. I also work with a lot of engineers from external vendors and don't see a lot of people much younger than me (except as junior roles at contractors).

I was planning to start using YTTV when sports start up again. We were using Hulu Live before and, while it wasn't terrible, I wanted to give YTTV a try.

This price hike kills that option. I will go back to Hulu or, more likely, just add TV to my monthly Fios package.

Not true - I replace my Android phones every 4-5 years.

Fortnite doesn't have lootboxes. The Save The World mode did but they recently removed them so you always know what you are buying if you decide to spend money.

I'd say it's not pay-to-win either because most of the skins people buy in the shop are more flashy and easier to spot than the dreaded default skins.

I think this is less about Fortnite and more about people finding another way others are different and using it as a lever to make themselves feel better about their own insecurities.

I don't understand why people are lamenting the lack of features on the Epic game store.

I don't need forums or screen shot galleries or any of that junk from my store. I just want games.

If I want to talk about a game or interact with other people who play the same game, I'll go on reddit.

Well, the NY football teams play in a New Jersey swamp so that didn't really work out for NYC either.

It sounds like a pyramid scheme to try and monetize an echo chamber.

Yep. I actually went as far as googling the Wall-E humans to see how close it was.

Not if one considers the rights of the unborn.

If that was the main factor, the divorce rate for law enforcement would likely be lower as well.
