Why would video games remain the same price for 40 years? You don't think the price to develop and manufacture them has gone up exponentially? You want game developers to make .11 cents an hour?
The price of a video game has gone up just like any other product, people are just complaining because it happened quickly instead of gradually over time due to previous generations of hardware relying on game sales while selling their hardware at a loss. That model does not work in today's market, developers are hemorrhaging money, needing to turn to things like crowdfunding and early access just to barely squeeze out a game.
I feel like game prices are just starting to normalize. A 60-100hr experience should cost $80-100

Pete Souza, a former presidential photographer, said he attended one of the protests in Illinois.

“I’ve probably been to 100 political protests like this in my life, and there have always been counter protesters that show up.
Until today,” Souza wrote in an Instagram post, along with photos of the Illinois protest. “NO ONE came to support Trump/Elon. Not a single counter-protesters. ZERO.”

“He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anybody.
Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide.
So it was pretty good .... Thank you to Elon.”

This is going no where, these people care about themselves, the rich and powerful will just sell them more distractions(copium) as they always have.

Nothing will change. The average person is not enlightened enough to care about the planet, to exist for more than themselves. When one sees the journey as merely to live a lifetime, that narrow goal is the heart of all atrocities. It's the justification for all selfish decisions.

Humanity has no future if it continues to ignore the 80 billion animals it murders every Year unnecessarily. We are the biggest hypocrites on every societal "Virtue."

What is milk, if not the rape of the feminine, theft of her blood, torture of mother and child.

A cow must be forcibly impregnated, her calf must be kidnapped so as to not drink that milk, and then we kill her and the baby for hamburgers.

All while modern science has proven that humans are biological-herbivores (starchivores).

The giant  size MF DOOM is briefly in stock since this place received their shipment late. It's been sold out for almost a month everywhere and going on eBay for crazy prices. Still too poor to justify dropping MSRP on it though  :(

It appears that Musk got a $400 Million contract from the military for "armored" Cybertrucks - as was posted on the Congressional Record and then quickly scrubbed.

What a guy, what a pair of guys!
