Back in my day, it was “Help me buy a summer home.”

Now it’s, “Help me buy a yacht, a skyscraper, 14 cybertrucks and a way to funnel this to Trump.”

Went for a checkup. I remember telling my doctor I was surprised by their results.

And they said, “we told you five years ago.” And pulled out timestamps.

Brutal.

How did I get this ad? I don’t fit the profile.

Well in Walgreens: if you see someone shoplifting…

ask how they can help you open up the thing locked up because I pushed that god damn button and it’s been 15 minutes and I haven’t seen a god damn employee yet Jesus Christ I came here for a quick trip like wtf I could have ordered this online you fucking morons

That sounds incredible. I can’t imagine my graphics card can do that without smoking up the house.

2030 goals

It’s not hard to comprehend that as a Hispanic man, I would want to play games with characters that look like me.

Ubisoft has done it a few times.

Really ramp up the controversy through the marketing, and then release the most non-offensive milquetoast game ever.

Imagine the reality where they actually commit to it like Rockstar, and Far Cry 4-6 aren’t just generic open worlds with simple window dressing.

I don’t even go to places where a cave is a option!

I didn’t think about that! It could be a hate fetish, like all the Republicans who rage about immigrants and then when you point to their immigrant wife, they get real offended.

🤤

How I felt watching this movie growing up.

Kee and Peele skit.

You weren’t kidding! This is a rollercoaster ride of incredible twists and turns!

The problem, according to three former Cooler Screens executives and a former Yahoo executive, was that their clients thought of the screens as “shopper marketing,” an old-timey ad category that covered in-store promos like the balloons or cardboard displays that clerks hang over cases of beer. Spending in this area was far lower than the more lucrative digital ad rates Avakian hoped to charge. One of the former Cooler Screens execs says that Avakian wanted marketing dollars well above what the industry was willing to pay and that his lieutenants could be preposterously condescending on calls with the Yahoo sales team, which at times devolved into shouting matches. “The Yahoo people hated them!” this former exec says. “Their MO was to ride them [Yahoo] like Secretariat.” (A Cooler Screens spokesperson says that this description is inaccurate and that Avakian’s relationship with Yahoo executives remained positive.)

Condescending calls with Yahoo sales team. Fucking hilarious.

If it helps, they also lock a lot of product, requiring employees to come and help customers directly.

It’s like they made their stores as hostile as possible to shop in.

They just keep finding interesting ways to fail!

Right? You can’t stop the porn and these barriers is only to create an artificial market.

But whatever. The more people become anonymous on the internet, the better.

Never owned a house, so for the past decade, I ran wiring up the side of stairs and to the side of walls.

Last year during the move, I’ve been too lazy and got wireless. Been fine for us! We’re also not playing anything that requires low ping or anything.

Once I own a house and can drill holes, I’m absolutely going back to wires.

Incredible stuff! Cat6?

Been a dream project for years but when I first explored it a decade ago, cat6 was still new and expensive, and wasn’t recommended because “who needs internet that fast”.

I haven’t played Witcher or read the books, but in the shows fucking Henry Cavill. Even straight men want to throw themselves to him

No we don’t.

We just want to hang out with him. And play PC games. And nerd out about D&D. And talk about his movies. And snuggle with him. And feel him up. And maybe lick his chest.

What a twist. In the 90s, the internet forced countries to wake up to the new modern era. It was a combination of American companies wanting both to expand and provide goodwill.

And now, this new era is going to tell American companies to fuck off.
