It was $15/mo before it's first price hike, too.

And before that, a lot of people were taking advantage of the Xbox Live Gold conversion deal, where folks were getting access to GamePass Ultimate for $60/year.

I once spent $180 for 3 years of GamePass, and now that same amount only gets you 6 months.

I barely even buy 5 games a year, and often not at full price. And usually the games I want aren't even on GamePass anyways.

$360/year is crazy. Only a good deal if you're buying more than 6 full price games a year and plan to 100% beat them and never play again before they disappear from the catalog.

Reminded of the time when RuPaul put the fear of God into Jimmy Fallon.

The man is spineless and clearly doesn't know how to navigate any subject he sees as too touchy.

I feel like there's still some public, high budget fetish porn being made. Like A Folded Ocean (potentially NSFL, kinky body horror).

Better AI than humans. Humans have the potential to be gay and will end up shoving their corrupt ideology into the minds of our children.

I've definitely been there. I think it's like what English teachers say when they see their students reading whatever latest YA drivel has been published (e.g. Twilight):

At least they want to read something.

Encourage their passions, even if you really hate what they're currently doing with it, and trust that eventually they'll get a better sense of taste when they learn more about what else is out there.

Take the "lead a horse to water" idiom but add the corollary that the horse definitely will not drink if no one leads it to water in the first place.

Lots of journalists are reporting on this buyout.

But not too deeply.

Can't find a link to the referenced comic

Got you covered, fam.

There's other versions around as well and I have no idea which is the original. Just replace "Bioware" with any studio that EA has purchased and chances are there is a version of this comic that followed that news.

Some humor is timeless, like this one from 1921:

That and Defiance were trying to capitalize on this short-lived trend of cross-media projects. They failed because along the way of trying to make both a show and an MMO at the same time, they forgot to make either of them good.

What a bullshit direction that show went...
