Yeah. I guess I’m too old to understand the drive for better and better graphics.
To me, you don’t repaint a new version of the Mona Lisa just because we have better paints available today.
Graphics (for me) peaked in the 360/PS3 era when games started to nail smooth “movement”. After that it was just about making things more and more photorealistic, which is so completely uninteresting to me because I’m playing a game.
For the last little while now, I’ve been finding that my most played games have been on my old 360 that I decided to plug in again, and my old old PS2 collection that I ripped and loaded to an emulator because the old hardware broke a long time ago.
Third place is “new to me” games that I finally buy when they go on a good sale years after they were “new” (is. RDR2 and Cyberpunk)
I haven’t bought a new AAA title in years on console because I can’t justify the cost.
I’ll be honest, I doubt any real money is being dumped into this.
More and more, things like this come across as people giving Trump nonsense toys to play with to feel bigly important and distract him as he gets more and more infirm. If any money actually moves towards this, it’ll be actually diverting into someone’s pocket along the way.
It struck me the most when he made the announcement of a new class of Jumbo Jet and he was literally sitting there at his desk like a kid playing with a lego airplane model.
He is increasingly a addled child that they keep distracted with stupid shit like this so that they can get work done without him fucking it up for them by opening his idiot mouth. (like admitting that Venuzuela was about oil…for example)
But not the kiddie fucking…
Jesus fucking christ, America.

I’d bet real money that most of the “people” threatening to boycott don’t live on the same continent as a Costco store anyway.
I’m not entirely convinced that this dude didn’t open up the joint as purposeful satire to make money off stupid MAGA cultists.
I would. You know how tempting it is to make some idiot trump branded piece of shit product and get MAGA to eat it up? These people are literally cultists just waiting to give you their money; and if pretending to be one of them on the surface makes me rich off their stupidity…hey…it’s tempting.
I’m almost sure that’s what happened here.
Gee…it’s almost as though a doctrine that is built on divisiveness and hate will inevitably devolve into internecine squabbles because that’s all the people involved with it know how to do.
Who’d a thunk it?
He wanted to celebrate. Had to order “The Usz…” (How does one spell a colloquial shortening of “usual”, anyway?)
The literal Trump Derangement Syndrome
Immediately reshoot Season 8 of GOT with what I thought was going to happen.
He…doesn’t…care…
He only needed to get voted in once (well…twice…the first was a trial run). He used the time to take control of every single lever of power through cronyism or outright criminality. Votes don’t matter because no matter what the votes say, the people controlling the election will simply say “Trump won”, and when the legal argument against the obvious election rigging gets to the supreme court, they’l affirm it. This is by design.
Or, also possible, Trump will simply not have an election using an excuse of “we’re at war” or whatever.
He doesn’t need you. He doesn’t want you. You can all die for all he gives a shit, so long as he and his rich friends keep making money off the presidency.
There is no “voting” your way out of this bullshit.
What an absolutely repulsive human being. Beyond the crimes. Beyond the egotism and narcissism, he’s just simply a repulsive, classless, amoral fuck-head.
He’s the guy that, if he hadn’t been born into wealth, would be Ken McElroy
If Jabba the Huts mother was a member of the Bene Gesserit.
Call his bluff. He just wants to wag his dick around. So mexico should mobilize their army at the border and say “cross this line and you are declaring war.”
Guaranteed someone up high makes him understand how politically stupid that would be. Probably in pictures. With small words.
Unpopular opinion, but as unpopular as Charlie Kirk was, I’d put up with a dozen of him if it meant that this asshole got kirked instead.
Cops. Without a doubt. Its the career path for highschool bullies who want authority and respect, but are too stupid to become doctors or lawyers, so they pick up a badge and a gun as a shortcut to “respect by implied threat”
A sadly underappreciated show:
Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles
She’s a hateful…hateful…person. But she’s not stupid.
She knows that when the public turns on Trump/Maga, they’ll likely be reactionary and look to his most vocal detractors for leadership. She wants in on that when the orange fuckwit finally eats the last burger that clogs his aorta for the last time.
That’s Gavin Newsom’s play as well. Setting themselves up to the be faces of a post Trump America by being as vocal as possible now, banking on the hope that with Trump gone, MAGA will devolve into internecine chaos followed by nuremberg trials for Miller, Vance, Bondi and the entire gang of chucklefucks.
Vance and Miller on the other handing, are on every news station in America hoping to be the face of MAGA itself, hoping that they have the rizz to wrangle the movement and prevent the above mentioned internecine chaos.
Every single member of this administration needs to be put in front of a firing squad.
I no longer care if it’s through the proper channels of justice or the people rightfully rising up.
Wake the fuck up, America.
