SO DEMANDING posted:i can't see it becoming anything but this. fortnite and a handful of other games. the increased cut to developers is good, but gamers don't give a flying gently caress about that. they do care about their skinner-box crap like achievements, trading cards, gamer scores, hats and whatever else they virtually collect

All of its main characters, save one, in the first season were white men.

Captain Foo posted:sorry to bother you was a p good movie I’m probably olde man yells at clouds and maybe not the demographic anymore, but I’ve been thoroughly unimpressed with movies over the past 2 years. idk if everything is really just a wasteland or what. But Sorry to Bother You was a real welcome good movie for once. before that the only movie I really liked was Blade Runner 2049. tv on the other hand is still amazing like The Expanse and Better Call Saul, and I even like poo poo like west world, mr robot, stranger things, altered carbon and so on.

green is starting to show up again since its started raining again and they've moved the cattle back into a lot of grazing areas after a long departure these two events are kind of annoying because they're going to completely wreck the trails; all that heat and dry bake them into a perfect candidate to be a sloppy saturated mess when it rains even a little its like a trench or no-mans-land in WW1
