My local B league hockey team does discount nights with cheap seats and cheap options for beer/soft drinks and snacks. My wife and I will get tickets, have a few drinks and snacks and spend a total of maybe a little over $20. Even on full price nights it’s maybe $50 for the same.

Plus there’s the fights that almost always break out. Or, as the saying goes, there was a fight and a hockey game broke out.

I wish there was a movement of people taking them all down.

I also said, “I actually don’t watch any shows where that kind of delay is even a possibility.”

I don’t watch them until they’re done either. But my wife always complains about waiting for the next episode of something, and I just shake my head.

There was no reason Wash had to die. He was better than those gorram Reavers.

Sometimes it is timing and distraction or changing circumstances. Especially when a lot of time passes between episode releases. If YouTube content creators can put out three videos a week on a shoestring budget, no major studio should ever tell me I have to wait four months for the next episode. I actually don’t watch any shows where that kind of delay is even a possibility. Hollywood needs to learn from the media sources that are replacing them.

My area got flooded with Flock cameras during Biden’s last year. Both parties want the surveillance no question. But they also want to be in power. God I hate those cameras.

Yeah I’ve only switched two of the 20 I need to do. It’ll probably be months after Win10 loses support before I get it all done.

Everything I have with DDR5 is running Win11. I have some DDR3 machines on Win10 tho. And of course DDR4. Just in my house I have three pretty decent DDR4 gaming rigs with compatible CPUs, SSDs, and nice video cards 3070ti and 4070ti, but the motherboard isn’t up to spec. I don’t like Win11 anyway though. I’ll have to figure those out soon I guess.

I still have my original NES and N64 from when they came out. Both still work with zero maintenance. I used the N64 last week.

Between the cost of housing and the cost of food, and the fact wages aren’t that much better than they were 15 years ago - you’d think they would realize they are asking for the scraps people have left.

I’ve always just bought games when they’re on a good sale, I’ve never had a game pass type thing. But maybe they just want to squeeze a bit more out of their most loyal customers and they’re accepting that it is a dying model.

Five hours is great 95% of the time. I can nap, I usually get about one hour nap a week.

I know what you’re saying but actually not even once in my life. I did have a cup of coffee early yesterday morning and I rarely have caffeine but I had a big day at work and was going in on little sleep.

I feel exactly the same. My rig is much better now. Need to try it again.

What if they’re in the US and can’t afford health care? I’ve been to the doctor once in the last 25 yrs.

I got two hours last night and five the night before. I have maybe slept eight hours once in the last year, and it was after a being up for 36 hrs.

I have bought merch, but not everyone has merch for sale. Also I don’t have much extra cash, and they definitely get money from views too, it’s why I advocate other people giving them views also. Also, one of the biggest income drivers for them are sponsorships, and you have to have high view counts to attract sponsors.

I have a few YouTubers I like to support with views of all of their content. Because I want them to get the support, I watch their content on YouTube with no ad blockers.

My brother has a statistics degree in addition to CS. He’s working for a global medical research company processing all of the data generated by their research, and also helps with their billing software, all of the medical samples have to be stored and there are millions of samples that are billed monthly. He makes a little under $200k.

I’ll check it out when it’s under $5. At this rate, maybe next year’s winter sale? I have a rig that is reportedly already able to play it but I don’t pay full price, ever. Even games I really want, and this ain’t it.
