I think I had it on my wish list because I was never going to pay full price and then when it came down in price I looked again at it and I just thought nah, I actually don't care. So I never bought it.

They're not exactly starting from a solid foundation.

If any game was going to get away with being $80 it'd be something like grand theft auto or one of the next call of duties, not this one. But maybe they're trailing it on a game that they know will only be moderately successful at best anyway, that way they don't lose huge amounts of money if it fails to win over players.

That tactic would work if it was a multiplayer game or a major franchise but with a single player cookie cutter game there's no urgency for me to get started and no FOMO. It just isn't that interesting of an IP

There there a woman that somehow fell out of a plane and fell thousands of feet only to landed in a tree with virtually no injuries.

Personally I think they've made a mistake running any candidates in local elections. Now everyone will see they're all hot air and snide comments, but lack any actual ability to govern, obey the law or even simply read the room.

Wasn't the first game entirely average? And now he wants $80 for the sequel.

From an international perspective it's hard to really understand what the rest of the US is even for, when California seems to do all the things. It's not as if people visit the US to visit the plains of Wyoming

A pixel 6a is a good idea as the other commenter said but depending on what you're after you could get a fairly cheap second hand Samsung for about the same price.

That has the advantage of legitimately looking like it might actually be your phone that you've had for some time. In the same manner you could also get an old iPhone. It'll have a cracked screen because every iPhone older than 6 months has a cracked screen but the whole point is to be an unattractive decoy, you want the most average boring looking phone possible so there's nothing for them to be suspicious about.

Hard to be unfamiliar with the country you grew up in

If anyone can do it, it's Americans. I've had arguments with Americans who insist that New Mexico is in Mexico despite it being called New Mexico.

It's so obvious that he's a twat though.

Trump wasn't allowed to call the national guard because he wasn't president anymore you moron.

The modern brand of Nazis don't even dress snappily, that was their only real appeal.

Yes because I'm not buying whisky online am I'm going to a physical store where I can give them my physical ID and they can look at my physical face. Unless I'm wearing a very convincing prosthetic there isn't very much I can do to hide my identity.

Online is harder, just because I have uploaded an ID doesn't mean it's mine. What are they going to do, demand a video as well, because it's not as if video generation hasn't already gotten to the point where it's perfectly capable of faking that kind of thing.

I can see you haven't thought about this at all. You should run for office.
