Geno made an effort to censor a lot of stuff. You’ll only get grossed out if you actively go out of your way and find the uncensored videos where he does gross stuff

Got this while searching an old wardrobe.
It was under old files and books.
I bought this in the year 1992 or 1993, I remember. I used to collect comics that time.

Come to think of it, the Game Awards are so stuffed with trailers and ads and announcements and “World Premieres!!” that the 3-hour show becomes one big blur by the next day. I’m having to look up recap articles about titles that were shown off, because I just can’t remember.
Some of them are memorable enough if I’m a fan of them – very hyped they’re making a new Crazy Taxi – but overall it’s way too much.
Also fuck, they really did give every award recipient just 60 seconds before a teleprompter says “Please Wrap It Up”. I get that 8 minutes was too much last year, but just a single minute?? For usually a group of people or others working with translators? And even for your biggest category of the night?

Yes, you see it is vitally important that every single second of the show not sparsely dedicated to the awards should be space for an ad unless it is an excuse for Geoff to pal around with Kojima.

So far the only highlight of the game awards 2023 was Poets of the Fall performing and seeing Ilkka Villi, Sam Lake, Matthew Porretta, and David Harewood all on stage doing the Choreography for Herald of Darkness.
I’ve seen people who haven’t played Alan Wake 2 just be confused during the performance and saying they pre recorded it and lip synced the performance, and then on the other end of the spectrum people who played the game the reaction to the performance was overwhelmingly positive and was the best part of the show.

It really was the big moment of the show, I didn’t even really watch this year but when I saw it breaking that they performed Herald of Darkness I dropped everything. Nothing got me interested until I popped back in to see who would take GOTY which went to the game I thought it was going to in the first place.

I went back to work on Monday. I was hoping my strength would come back now that most of the pain from the pneumonia is gone, but I find I’m really suffering from exhaustion. It seems like doing anything takes 3 times the energy it usually does. I only did a 4 hour shift last night and afterwards I wound up sleeping for 10 hours and just feel like I ache all over. I’ve agreed with my manager that for the next couple weeks I’m just going to do 3 days, 3-4 hour shifts, and just try to not push myself so far.
Just feel frustrated, I’ve been off work for 4 weeks because of the car crash and the pneumonia and now I can’t even go back properly because I just get exhausted so quickly. Hoping my energy comes back by Christmas.

My wife and I have been renting a washing machine and dryer from a local renting company for the last eight years, since moving to our current city. This weekend, we finally got our own washer and dryer and they are being delivered and installed now. It’s been one of those milestone things that week keep telling ourselves we’ll do when the time is right and it’ll be the exact ones we want, and now it’s finally happening. The big events of adulthood, wahoo.

The concept of rented/public washing machines (As I could see in movies) is another western thing that baffles me. Why wouldn’t people purchase one by default?
8 Likes
Because we couldn’t find anyone to purchase one of our kidneys so we could pay for the machines.
People who don’t live in the west, particularly the USA, need to understand three fundamental things in order to avoid any bafflement:
-
Nothing is free here. Nothing, absolutely nothing. Anything that is free is some kind of scam or will come back to be paid for in some other, unanticipated way.
-
Everything is expensive. And it will get more expensive. What a bottle of water costs you today, it will cost you more by the same day the following year.
-
Everything you hear about anything else, other than the above two points, is complete and utter bullshit. The USA was built on, for, and of, bullshit.

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this on this forum before but my grandfather rented his telephone from the phone company for decades before finally purchasing one. At the time he started renting it you couldn’t buy a phone but by the time he stopped, you could get one from Walmart for 10 dollars.
There is a big business in renting household appliances and it’s easy to look at something like that and thing “why not just buy one” but it’s often not that simple.

Yup, exactly. And to their credit, this small, local rental company gave us good service for eight years, with only a few minor price increases. Apparently we were an unusual case for them as they normally have just temporary renters, so we were big business for them during that time that even the owners extended their thanks to us when we parted ways with them a few days ago.

@Heisenberg your explanation doesn’t really answer my question. Nothing is free, washing machines are expensive and you don’t get to tell me about inflation. Why public machines in the first place…? 
Such a phenomena doesn’t seem to exist in the east and they’re dirt poor in comparison.

My point being that the USA in particular takes all of those points to ridiculous levels, even by the standard of other capitalist nations, and every head scratching thing about the USA and its people and customs boils down to that. I wasn’t trying to suggest that the same kind of thing doesn’t happen elsewhere, just how pervasive you’ll find it here relative to most other places. Ultimately, you rent something like a washer and dryer mainly because you can’t yet afford to buy one.
