Ok, that’s totally fair. I would absolutely hate to get a work call from an unknown number. Tha didn’t even cross my mind!

I was interpreting it as simply hearing your phone ring and thinking it could be a spam caller (I really need to set up custom ringtones at some point)

Idk, it’s usually faster for both, no?

You can just answer your friend and say hello. lol

The Finals Season 3 1000%

I absolutely love the first two seasons. I haven’t enjoyed a game like this in years.

It’s a bit sweaty but I feel like it can be pretty casual (out of ranked). Like the difference between playing a casual game of soccer or basketball compared to a competitive match of either. It takes strategy, teamwork and good game sense/skills to win a match as opposed to strictly kills. Idk, it’s super cool and people should give it a shot

I absolutely hate that. What’s wrong with just entering a key? They act like it’s difficult or they’re doing something truly impressive when it’s obvious they’re getting way more out of users having an account

Would something like that only apply to store-bought PCs? Or could they somehow lock a motherboard you bought separately? Sorry, no idea how bootloaders work, despite unlocking em plenty of times on Android phones in the past

One difference is there was already value with having a gmail account. What’s the point of getting a Microsoft account? The only thing I can see is it makes settings set up/transfer easy between PCs and for reinstalls.

Except, if I’m reinstalling, I can’t imagine waiting to copy settings since one of those settings is probably causing a problem and I don’t want it to be automatically set for me. I also don’t use the Microsoft store so…

Does anyone else actually get value from their Microsoft account? If not, It just feels like it’s only purpose is giving them (more) access to your computer. Why would anyone want that?

Go on…

Yeah, I miss hieroglyphics too

I don’t remember prisons being mentioned in 1984. They just vaporized people and then acted like they never existed

Glogler gang!

I’m a millennial as well but that’s still insane to me. Even saying that about smash mouth seems insane to me - they were both well-known popular songs that just happened to play during the movie

Yeah I pay a buddy 8 every 2 months for music+no ads (+all the other stuff)

It’s definitely worth it for me but it’s definitely a fucked up pricing model for single users. There should be a sub or something for people to link up 6 people so they can all save monies

I pay $4/mo, mainly for YouTube music (I’m part of a friend’s family plan).

It’s pretty convenient since you can use the background audio on an iPad as well - I don’t use it often but it’s nice when I do. And there’s no ads there it’s pretty insane seeing the level of ads when I try and use my work phone which I’m not signed into.

Also, you can make channels within your single goggle account so I made one for my mom and bro so they get no ads aswell. They have to sign in to my acct which can feel a little sketch but I trust them since they’re just using the YT app on their TVs. They stay in their own user acct. and it doesn’t affect my history or anything

Heh heh. Old people humor. Heh heh

It seems to be based on the contributions of employees not the company itself. I looked up a huge tech company and it said Bernie Sanders was the number one politician supported. That’s absolutely ridiculous. Who cares what employees at a company support? Do they control any of the money used for lobbying?

Excellent comment. I’ve been playing more free to play games simply for the reason you mentioned, it’s clear those games will have developers working on them for a long time. Games like PUBG or Fortnite (hate it or love it), and more recently, The Finals (absolutely love that game) are clearly going to have dev resources available for a very long time.

That said, I never spent a dime on GTA online, even though I played that for quite a bit. It didn’t appeal to me as much for some reason. I think seeing devs adding cool things makes me want to buy a little something for all the enjoyment I’m getting - especially when it cost me nothing to start. With Rockstar (or Activision) I feel a lot of negative feelings about giving them money when it’s clear they’re trying to cut costs and maximize profits at every turn by holding features back or removing them and keeping them locked behind a paywall. The other games I mentioned let you play 100% of the game and money is more for actual bonus content that’s mostly irrelevant. It’s weirdly ironic, actually

They also have therapy tiktok/yt. I can’t imagine the headstart some of them are getting in terms of understanding and dealing with the issues they/everyone faces. That’s something legit incomparable to anything that came before, imo.

Granted, I have no idea the ratio of younger folks on therapy-/book-tok verses on those crazy conspiracy and new age/spiritual stuff.

With the state of free to play games, looking at you, the finals, I can’t justify buying games I’ll never even have time to play

…which is fine. The finals is great!
