This is what everyone wanted! Another "as a service" game! Oh, and look, a store front!

and partner with some “Sims” players to sell their own custom in-game content through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”

Would those "players" be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to "collab" with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought "Lets do that!".

I was very entertained. If you like the first one I say there's a really good chance you're going to like this one.

Everything in that title sounds like something from a 90s movie.

And? Microtransactions were already standard for Blizzard a long time ago before Microsoft showed up.

I personally prefer Azure over AWS.

I remember when MTV had music. At a young age, I bought a NES with saved up birthday/Christmas money because it was way cooler than my moms Atarti 2600. Playing outside around the neighborhood was the normal. Roaming the mall as a teenager was standard. Hell I remember when malls regularly had lots of people. I watched the adoption of technology from a fringe thing to mainstream.

If the statistic were reversed, you’re going to tell me that you wouldn’t care?

I'd be calling bullshit still. Sensationalized "stats" for the sake of views on "news"/blogs/podcasts is nothing new and I will not subscribe to it. I'm not sure which fallacies are in play here but I suspect it's several.

If 95% of murders were committed by women? You don’t need to answer, I already know.

You really don't.

This is a thread about Rebecca Cheptegei and you bring Vance into this... something 100% unrelated and is frankly, disrespected to the deceased. The problem is, you spend way to much time on the internet/news cycle and now you have a screwed up view of reality. You need to largely disconnect from the internet for a significant period of time

That stat is entirely reductive and meaningless. And two of your answers are sexist. Not that I think you give a shit.

Domestic violence is a global issue. But you're not helping anyone by further pushing a stereotype and ignoring the problem. Do you think only cis men are capable of domestic violence? Because such a though would be bigoted in a few different ways to be honest.

News only reports like this and it skews peoples perceptions. For example, I'm a guy. This last weekend I took my friend and all her kids (all girls) out for amusement park, festival, swimming, gifts, and any food they wanted out weekend before school starts. I paid for everything. You won't find it in the news, Why'd I do it, because they moved to a new city far away from their friends so I wanted to start all the girls on a very happy note for school starting.

No one owes you examples. Men are not inherently evil and women are not inherently good. People, all people, have the capacity for both good and evil.

All operating systems suck ass. There are problems and issues with all of them. It's the same argument for programming languages. Now it's the same argument when it comes to what brand of vehicle Ford or Chevy.

Don't get hyper focused on a brand, on a label. Simply use what's best for you and your needs.

This might not be the best place for this question but I honestly can't think of another place, but if you know of one please let me know. But I figured someone here might have the experience I'm looking for.

I own the discs for various Star Trek series and everything Stargate. What I'm trying to do is use handbrake to encode them to put them on Plex. But everything I try, it just looks worse. Is there a repository of like recommended settings for various media?
