They’ve done two road trip collabs before. Theres been a few other crossovers too, mostly on Aging Wheels. . Though Robert did appear in Alex’s video about the color Brown.
Can an Electrick Truck Tow Long Distance?
I am a avid fan and patreon of both of them, lol.
free advertising that they’ve been paid to make, cause that second hand game wouldnt exist if they hadnt already gotten their pay from someone buying it.
Used games are basically the companies getting paid, to advertise their games to others, who then… as long as they are a half decent company, would more than likely pick up more customers in the future than they would have had otherwise.
Oh god, another cross country roadtrip collab video please.
I love the old couple energy they have when they are together, lol.
True, but, and I dont want to be in this position, but its a little bit different having their game on their service, and epic going out and paying other companies to drop their games off steam before release so they can have timed artificially exclusivity on epic.
Those are two entirely different piles of bullshit.
Hence GTA Online, where whales can keep spending hundreds of dollars for shark cards because they cant hope to play the game enough to stay infront of FOMO with all the new cars and other shit they constantly release.
Yep.
Preorder the most expensive version, then cry about the state of gaming that they helped create.
We already went through this with videocards, where idiots paid scalpers ridiculously insane amounts of money for scalped cards cause they could not go without new shiny for 5 minutes… And anyone with a brain said its going to hurt gaming and video cards in the long run, because its showing amd and nvidia that people are willing to spend 2000 for a 500 dollar card.
and wouldnt you know it, card prices magically skyrocketed as soon as stock stabilized, and suddenly now the prices are unfair and insane.
i doubt very seriously hordes of people are gonna pay 100 dollars for a 128gb ssd thats read only, to try to make it usable, when they can go on amazon and get one for 20 bucks
Oh no, no no no. HL2 was far worse than that.
HL2 made you install the full game, off of 5 CDs, and it installed steam as well.
Then after the installation was complete, you had to register a steam account, and log in, so steam could decrypt your installed game, Which if you had a computer that wasnt bleeding edge in 2004, that your computer would be locked up and unusuable for a very long time. Mine was locked up for almost a full day processing the decryption.
And I still say, to this day, that steam is bullshit. That I shouldnt be forced to run steam for single player games, but back then at least steam was just a server browser/matchmaker. It wasnt the big pseudo-wannabe digital walmart+facebook that it is today… so you at least had an excuse to run it to play multiplayer games like HL2 deathmatch and CS:Source.
But requiring it for any single player game is the height of bullshit.
I wager most the people you find eagerly sucking off Valves cock as if its gods gift to gaming, are people 21 or under, who did not know a world before digital downloads, and who didnt know valve at their worst, before lawsuits and countries forced them to be marginally better.
except no you cant, because the download keys already been used and registered and permanantly tied to an account. Making the disk worse less than nothing.
Yep. Nevermind the fact that the second hand market is fantastic advertising for the companies and the quality of their games, and a surefire way to manufacture future customers.
I cant tell you how many brand new games I bought over the years, because I picked up a previous release used.
Hell, Final Fantasy is a fine example… I got FF4 used from a garage sale… which lead to me buying 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15… some of those games multiple times for new platforms.
One used game, translated into additional sales of almost every game that followed.
Always gotta be someone to white knight.
Won’t someone think of the poor companies, they are making record profits…but we should be paying more because they’re not making enough record profits! because we should be paying more due to inflashun! arent they so kind to only charge us 80-100 dollars!
HL2’s original release came on 5 CDs, so yeah, games used to be multiple disk. its no big deal. Course, thats in the before times, from the long long ago… When gamers werent so spoiled with broadband internet and instant gratification.
20 blurays?
If the game is 500gbs in size, and costs 100 fucking dollars, then goddamn yes it better include a fucking dedicated SSD.
Even if the disk was in the box, it wouldnt matter.
It’d just be some basic files that an installer transfers over. You’d still have to download a bunch online and use the code in the box to activate it because theres no way they’d put the whole game on a disk.
So, while I applaud giving the finger to rockstars exploitative bullshit, this seems more performative than anything.
We saw the same thing for GTAV.
And singleplayer immediately got dumped and ignored the second Online came out and the idiots with more money than sense started dumping texas sized dumptrucks into rockstars lap on the daily.
Bro, you’re already paying for 2 games buying it at 100 dollars.
I wonder if Aging Wheels will be able to get a hold of one of these for review.
I remember when the entire concept of digital downloads was sold to us as a way to make games cheaper, and the sacrifices we make on physical media, boxes, manuals, pack ins, etc, would ensure those cheaper games still saw devs making more money than they ever would with a physical copy.
I called bullshit on it from the start. I said from the start that their profit margins are gonna be significantly higher, and they have no reason to lower prices becuase gamers are already trained to pay 50 dollars. and I was scoffed and guffawed at, and called a blind fool and a luddite and everything else.
and now we have digital download games that cost 80-100 dollars.
GTA5 made a billion dollars in 3 days.
I fully expect idiotic fucking gamers to make GTA6 earn a billion dollars in half a day, and thus rewarding this shit so spectacularly that every game that follows will also be 80-100 dollars.
And those same gamers will cry… oh lord will they cry, about the incredulity, willfully oblivious to the fact that its their very fault that it happened.
I can see from you talking about IUDs that you are a woman.
Which I believe answers your question, especially if you happen to be a non-white woman.
Doctors, Even female doctors, even female doctors of color, are incredibly dismissive of pain in women in general, and frequently hand wave it away as the woman being hysterical, over reacting, anxiety, etc etc.
I’m a guy, but I know this statistically, and I also know it from witnessing how doctors treated female family members who were in pain. . and from my personal witnessed experience, I’d say female doctors are even worse about it than male doctors.
also, on an unrelated note, does anyone else cringe when seeing/using the word female? even if its in a grammatically correct place to do so, thanks to fucking incels and their weird ass filling it with derision and attempting to turn the word into an insult?
Exactly. I have been trying to hammer this into peoples heads for years.
its so easy for someone thats cold to throw something over them.
Someone thats hot cant do fuck all but boil in their skin and die.
Also, being moderately too cool is 10000% more comfortable than being even slightly too hot.
