Microsoft buys Activision Blizzard for 68.7B. Meaning EA is about the only big company left that hasn't been bought out.

The major studios pretty much all suck these days, anyway.

This. So much this. RDR2 was the last AAA game I bought. Before that, Witcher 3.

It's fine to say they suck. But someone is buying those AAA titles, and a lot of them.

Lots of people like Nickelback and the Dallas Cowboys, too. Popularity doesn't negate suckiness.

Yep, still here
Yes. Parents pick up Madden because there is literally one choice and their kid likes football. That doesn't make them good.

I don't think you quite understand. Monopolies are not only coveted in America but revered and protected. It's the latest in the Evolution of Government and Capitalism.

Anyone try It Takes Two? I am playing through with my wife (who is not a huge fan of video games) and it has been pretty fun.

Yes, my wife and I are playing and we like it. I've never had a console and never really liked them but I love the artwork.

There is just something about it (that I cannot quite describe) that makes it a really fun game for non gaming people (like my wife). Plus the bickering on the game is a good distraction from our pandemic bickering

Perfect couples game, particularly if you have a muff missile.

our pandemic bickering
You too, huh?
I'm ready for this shit to be over so we can just take the stress out of planning ahead for every GD thing. I'd like to say, "Fuck it, let's just go out" instead of having to put in an order and hope we have an open time slot. Or the dumb doomscrolling. Or whatever else.
normal was good.

We are very lucky to both be introverts. We moved to an area she is not from, during the pandemic, for my job. It has been pretty isolating for her as it is hard to make friends in a new city during a pandemic! But she is a saint, so we are doing OK all things considered. We are also looking forward to normal.

If you were really an introvert, you wouldn't be.
This is the most comfortable I have been in my life, TBH.

If I were single during this pandemic, I'm really not sure if I would been a pig in mud or needed depression meds.
Like, on one hand, hell yeah. Hate people.
On the other, being single and without human contact for so long stretches is NOT healthy. Also, I really love my friends so that would be hard.

This. This is how I am. I need those pesky humans around.
