They really fucked up on their marketing by saying everything is an Xbox. Confusing non-gamers, annoying real gamers, and disappointing aspiring gamers.
I quit Xbox after 3 Xbox 360s got the red ring of death just after the warranty expired. I'll never go back even though I want clockwork revolution and a couple other exclusives.
I got a friend who's MAGA and I've been talking to her about her politics for a bit and she's willing to hear me out on my concerns. It's also black history month, and she knows nothing about black history. ...

My stress relief game is fallout 4. You get so OP so quickly that it's like "ok, I don't like you, or your whole crew. I'm going to wipe you out of existence like Im a Mr clean magic erase sponge."
It also has better graphics and takes more than an hour to complete. Plus great cultural and gaming references. When I first heard about the first game, I was like no fucking way that can be fun but after reading reviews, I bought it as a game I could play with my son, and we love it. (He's a jerk to me on it tho)
Absolutely, there are references to IKEA, IT, fallout, evil Knievel, etc. it's way more clever than I initially gave it credit for. When I first heard about it I thought it was like just running around on cliffs and eating grass. I had no idea you could be a total asshole in it and I love that about it.
While we don’t know whether Trump will decide to attack Iran, these are exactly the movements we’ve been expecting, but so far not seeing, in advance of a sustained operation, both defensive and offensive.
It's already been decided because Iran is not popular in the US. Neither is trump. Trump bombs Iran into oblivion to look like the lesser of two evils.
I picked it up rather quickly after moving here, and I didn't realize it til I was at a bar in Atlanta and said it twice as I was moving through a crowd and felt a tap on my shoulder, when I turned around she asked where in the Midwest I was from. 😅
