I only achievement hunt for certain games. Granted, I’m not a hardcore gamer or anything. I’m probably the guy that most hardcore gamers hate. I’m old school, in my day, you could just pick up a game and go. You’d peruse the manual a bit on the ride home from the store and you’d have a pretty good idea of how to play it once you got home. Some games today are still that way, hell some are so intuitive that you just pick it up and you already know how to play(spiderman), some haven’t changed enough in decades to be a problem. (Gran Turismo, call of duty, Madden). However even if you understood HOW to play a game, some were just hard AF. Everyone understood how to play the stampede level on lion king, very few could beat it.

The point of that previous paragraph is to put a perspective to my response. There weren’t achievements growing up. In fact, many games were so hard, or so badly designed that it was nearly impossible to beat unless you were so ridiculously dedicated that you wouldn’t have enough time to get into other games. I played the original command and conquer games and absolutely loved them but tropico has like 45 fucking menus and I just can’t remember or be bothered to learn every single minute detail. However, Gran Turismo only got more detailed gradually enough that it came naturally, even if I skipped several iterations. My point is, I try a lot of games, especially the free stuff on PS+, that I like the idea of, but when I play it I’m just like nah, fuck this like tropico, I even made my guy look like trump lol. Or games that are too big that I’m just not gonna try to 100% but I love all the same like cyberpunk. I really like DayZ but I never played the arma games and have no idea really what I’m doing. It’s fun but I know getting platinum just isn’t happening but I have fun.

So I guess my point is, I don’t blame anyone for not getting platinum. Currently I only have 4. All the insomniac spiderman games and fallout 4. I want to play a game for the game. Hunting trophies feels like a job, unless I realize I’m pretty close just by playing the game. So if someone wants to play a game without achievements being shown I wouldn’t judge. I like fighting games but won’t play DOA because I dont want to catch shit from my friends for being thirsty.

Also sorry if my post is a little disjointed and rambling. I’ve been writing this during commercials while also getting progressively more buzzed.

It’s a shame that people this shitty still exist.

It’s out there, several postings and articles that back my claim have been made. It’s not extraordinary, it’s reality.

Edit: it’s been shown enough that it’s on you to prove it wrong. The “buy Canadian” effort has been working, while the EU is working to move away from American tech. The drip of countries selling off US Treasury bonds. The drop of the stock market. At this point, you’re simply either not paying attention, or you’re a shill.

Uh huh. Sure.

What’d you get on your asvab? Drool? In asymmetric warfare being a window licker doesn’t mean you saw much more than anyone else unless they never left the fob.

I could snipe people from 500m with a 249 with no problem. 2-3 shots no problem.

It’s a matter of skill. Carlos hathcock used a .50 machine gun to snipe people in Vietnam. I hit individual targets at 500m with a 249 on a single shot with iron sights.

Wrong. I easily shot 500m on a 249 single shot on iron sights.

Their math was wrong. 45 seconds of sustained fire would require a belt far larger than any one man could carry. It wouldn’t even be logical in a vehicle turret.

They didn’t persuade them, they bought the companies and then killed them off. My town had a pretty extensive trolley system, the remnants of which still exist as bike and walking trails further from downtown. The infrastructure for it is still visible and it’s a painful reminder of what could have been. Instead we get a routine traffic problem in a town of only 160k.

Not to mention the abuse that fork lift drivers put on them due to speed expectations. Few drivers use their brakes, and just blast the transmission from forward to reverse or vise versa.

Like a bunch of drunk rednecks driving around in their truck shooting at road signs.

We will absolutely not regret sinking it if you do that. How many warships will it take to do the whole line of succession?

The dollar is shrinking compared to most major currencies and the NYSE is shrinking to all other stock markets. So your comment is more suitable to, well, your comments.

A lot of them are running low on air defense as well.

It’s not always willingly. I can’t give consent to ring to use my data when I walk my dog. I can’t give my consent to flock when I drive around. We judge China for their surveillance state and yet we have far more data centers in America fueling surveillance.

I imagine for most, it’s the economy and enshitification of life in general.

No, Russia and China don’t give a shit. Russia is too busy with losing to Ukraine, and China isnt happy with Iran bombing places that actually give China more oil than they do.

It’s important to remember the neighbors who had maga flags. They get Molotov cocktails without warning.
