They're usually just liars acting as a filter between the game and the interested customers.

Instead of just showing the have, they cut what doesn't look good and make it appear as something more than it is. That's their job.

It's not adding value. Peak marketing executed perfectly is just misleading enough to increase sales beyond what just seeing the game would do, without making the customers mad enough to have a negative impact.

I make a rare exception for actual artistry, like some of the WoW expansion cinematics. It's still pretty misleading, but they're pretty.

As for the next Elder Scrolls, I don't think Bethesda has the devs to make it fun or interesting. From what I've seen from them, they are not particularly competent.

Starlink seems like a genuinely interesting and useful technology, in some ways.

But it also seems like it might not be worth having.

I'm thinking they might need to be deorbited, but I'm not confident in that yet. It sounds like it might be fixable in a new generation of Internet constellation satellites.

Idk how long the issue should be tolerated to wait for that, though. And while Starlink has a good amount of customers this kind of Internet is genuinely useful for, it's still not a lot compared to all the other internet services.

Maybe Starlink deorbiting should come along with an expansion of the traditional communications network. But maybe it would be extremely expensive to reach Starlink's customers with towers or cables.

This post is just a 4chan user doing the only thing they know. Eat hot chip and lie.

Guessing they still have no idea why people liked Battlefield around the Bad Company to BF3/4 days. It's a complete mystery.

Modern audiences want unique looking heroes with purple tazers and quips about food delivery apps not servicing warzones.

The South is not allowed to secede.

Nor is Scotland, if that's what you're referring to.

The Tenacious D Devil in which he sings "I'm the Devil, I can do what I want!" about wanting to have nonconsensual sex with a very fat, bald man.

Also he's had a few smaller roles here and there.

The dumber a civilization is, the more sense God makes.

Honestly I don't think sports cars should be legal, they're so inefficient.

Yeah, that's not the thing.

 

Because the shops don't fucking sell them, and that makes me sad for some reason.

They're just on like Temu and shit like that, usually with weirdly small black panels.
