...OR we could strip the shame from any kind of sex work, especially something as simple as making pics and videos. I'm friends with a few women who are on OF and while they do have to deal with a good amount of creepy dudes, when do women NOT have to? Otherwise they love the option. There's no need to consider it sleazy for people to engage in OF.

As a drummer, somebody who's muscle memory is key, this is 100% true and why I have to stick to one serious game at a time unless the controls are similar. Even something like the change up in Arkham City's use of the triggers to Arkham Knight and I'm all fucked up and lost. Considering that they're discontinuing the ability to buy PS3 games via the website which means using the cumbersome console dashboard on the 3, I think it's safe to say that Sony considers 3 to be completely dead.

GIMME OC VS YANO NOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's far more serious than this, but every time I hear these stories about online trolls sending death threats to people involved in the video game industry (or other forms of media) I think fondly about that part in that Jay & Silent Bob movie where they go around kicking the shit out of message board assholes. In a just world, people would be afraid to be so hateful because they know it would get their teeth knocked in. The same could be said for racists and vile misogynists but what can you do? Viva internet anonymity ?

WWE doing everything they can to fuck over talent, change/eliminate stuff people like, and double down on "brand over everything else" at a time both when fans are growing restless with their stale output AND a rising, legitimate competitor is gaining traction? Is there anything MORE simultaneously predictable and surprising?

This is a good thread. I think that near the end of the year we should also have one where we say the good things that actually happen in this otherwise garbage year. Put a pin in that idea.

Unlike the class action lawsuit from a while back regarding former talent and concussions, you can't help but think that if such a lawsuit fighting these bullshit contracts made it to courts that it wouldn't be a slam dunk for the talent. Honestly I was hoping somebody like Miro would go for it considering how he felt about WWE and the business, but I truly wish that some of these men and women lawyer up and fight the hell out of this because nothing will change otherwise.

Andrew Yang The Anti-WWE Crusader isn't something I figured I needed until it happened.

ABZÛ is a very mellow palate cleanser between bigger, more serious games - or something to play now and then to chill out. Shit, I should fire it up after the week I've had...

Plus dude is 42 and only got truly into wrestling at 36. He and Blade were on the AEW pod last week, worth a listen...

A new tattoo or two, one year lived in the new house, PS5 games, and seeing more of the country through my job ?

I mean, I tried...

Somewhat related to the politics but perhaps a welcome tangent... Has anybody here applied for citizenship in another country of heritage? Being half Italian gives me the option to gain Italian citizenship and a passport. It sounds very tempting for a multitude of reasons. Anybody else gone down this path?

Better today, but exhausted. Sitting at the ER waiting for some sort of information. Apparently the idea is sit and wait until a bed opens elsewhere. It's been said a billion times already but mental healthcare is absurd in this fucking country.

My ex wife and I are en route to an ER with our suicidal 15yo daughter, due to self harm and emergency intervention, not a result of an attempt. Meanwhile, my current wife is spending her second night at a hospital in Boston with our 2yo son, who developed a new seizure over the weekend. So yeah I'm kinda of a wreck. Yay parenthood?

It's been said repeatedly already, but Ghost of Tsushima is fucking great. Some of the games that have come out on this generation of consoles have completely blown my mind and this one is up there with the best. I am very excited to see what the next generation can do!

I picked it up a while back and it seemed exactly as it was on Dreamcast, so I'd think if you liked it then you'll like it now!

I definitely thought Santana and Ortiz were shouting out Team Pazuzu originally, I know somebody else said the same. Shit, that makes me wish that Chris Dickinson and Jaka would eventually come in to AEW...

It's probably more on the radio and television, plus billboards. I just feel like I'm hearing or seeing the term every five minutes, any time I'm there for work or travelling through.

I already mentioned it in the monthly AEW thread but the Unrestricted podcast is an absolute joy to listen to. The enthusiasm and happiness that pours out of the people working for this company is making me psyched for pro wrestling on TV more than I have been in decades.

So I'm on a particularly long trip for work, driving to Colorado and back, and I started the AEW podcast after hearing how great the last couple episodes were. I can absolutely confirm that it's a delight to listen to these people talk about the building of this new company, and it's actually brought my enthusiasm for them - and for wrestling as a whole - to a level it hasn't been in years. The sheer joy that comes out of these interviews is palpable. Even if you're not a podcast listener, if you're a fan of this fed you should probably check it out.

I've already ranted enough on here about exclusives. This shit is just bad for gamers in the end. Oh well, viva capitalism? ?

Side note: this term gets old SO quick if you ever spend more than a couple hours in Indiana ?

Truly, if you can see the immediate reply from the GOP and still side with that pack of straight up fucking ghouls, you are morally compromised.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed. Anybody who's not a conservative (originally read: cis het white male) is essentially fucked for a lifetime now. I'm absolutely crushed. Fuck. FUCK.
