fun fact you can do that with the series x you just have to enable dev mode.

Heard this before about Blizzard: no pay raise as long as you're working there. Ever. Only when you quit, will they offer you higher pay if they still want you.

Isn't this largely a U.S work culture problem? Afaik Murica has always had a male dominance mindset from one generation to another. We do hear alot of these  stories from the US more than other countries. 

wait a second... you were hanging out with Austin? why aren't you in dicefunk? please be in the next season I would love that!!!

Gotta say guys, I love y'all, huge fans, been for a LONG time but this ignorant hate for NFTs is pretty tough to listen to :\ It's clear that you don't really know what you're talking about and haven't looked into it, yet, are steadfast in your negative beliefs. Don't get me wrong, the Bored Ape clubs and the shitty cash grabs and the copycats are garbage, but that happens in every industry, from clothing to videogames. The idea that any of that is native to and/or a symptom of NFTs is ridiculous. Whereas, on the other hand, the way in which they're marrying ownership of digital property with supporting artists directly without corporations being involved... there's amazing potential here and I would love for you all to dig a little deeper before being so sure of yourselves. Whenever they come up, I stop listening, because I want to like you all and you're making it tough :(

Honestly, this isn't good.  The last thing we need is another paid mods situation, where they try to just control emulation via patents and licensing requirements just because they can't fucking compete by releasing consoles with proper emulators for their old systems.  I really don't want to hear anything from MS or any other company on this topic unless it's, "Software emulation is fine on our consoles or people's personal devices WITHOUT us controlling it in any way."

Pebbles In The Garden(FMT ＋ ANSOUND)

This week, on the Global Research News Hour, as we start a brand new season of the show, we will focus our attention on the 21st anniversary of the attack that propelled America into perpetual war and also the reasons for questioning the understanding of what really happened that day and who is ultimately responsible.

In our first half hour, we are joined by the architect, and campaigner for 911 truth Richard Gage AIA about his efforts to raise awareness and about the changes to his work and others like him more than 2 decades after the historic attack. And in our second half hour, we meet guest Susan Lindauer, the CIA Asset who claimed advance knowledge of the attacks, who got arrested and put in jail as a consequence and wrote a book to describe her experience.

Still dripping wet from the rain at Buriram, Adam, David and Neil talk about their MotoGP ‘moments’ from the Thai GP. Beyond the headlines, the guys give their ‘winners’ and ‘losers’, thoughts on Yamaha’s off-day, frame the championship picture, debate the 2023 MotoGP calendar, and discuss more bad behavior in the paddock. Give it a listen!

EPISODE 302: Nom De Rodeo Clown (with No Joy)

Bonus Episodes

On this week's episode, there's corruption on the high seas as soft drinks and snack products worm their way into our filthy, clogged hearts. We have a go at Ubisoft some more, make fun of Haunted House, and there's yet more Dragon Age love sneaking in. 

We also have a right ol' moan about microtransactions and branded pizzas. And pisspots.
