  • The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.

    It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.

    Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to




  • I’ll tell you, I have my setup to the point where I go to one website, subscribe to a show, and episodes of that show appear to watch on my TV same day they are released.

    I also set myself up to get email alerts telling me what new episodes I have to watch when they are done being downloaded.

    … Setting all that up took me awhile and will take tech skills. But now that it’s set up, it’s zero touch aside from adding new shows.

    Plus, I never have to worry about trying to find where to stream at it and even if my Internet goes out I can still watch my shows






  • Yeah. This is the one that came to my mind.

    Dude straight up ended his career. His band members left, label dropped him and his colabs said they wouldn’t work with him anymore.

    Turns out he was a lieutenant in the oath keepers and the FBI grabbed him. Last I heard he made a plea deal and got put into the witness protection program.

    He is the band and it can’t exist without him. Even if he could continue, he’d have to rebuild it from the ground up.

    It’s a shame, I really Loved Demons and Wizards, the iced earth / blind guardian colab group.

    … Based on some song lyrics I feel I should have seen this coming when looking back though.


  • It’s true, game prices today are the same as they have been for the past 40 years for AAA titles.

    I can’t think of an industry which hasn’t had a price raise in decades.

    Gaming had managed to get by on this thanks to increasing market volume as gaming became more mainstream in addition to extra revenue streams like micro transactions. But it’s hitting saturation now and won’t keep counteracting inflation forever
