As a side annoyance, nobody every says "It's lightninging out"

Silly Americans. We have both "it's thundering" and "it's lightninging" in Portuguese. Yes, it also sounds somewhat silly to say "lightninging", so we go ham and say even weirder stuff.

The best pizza in my general area: Bill’s in Greensboro. Nancy’s in Raleigh.

Dominos is the worst chain pizza on the fucking planet. Their crust is indistinguishable from the soggy ass box the pizza comes in. Probably tastes worse, too.

I guess you have not eaten Little Caesars. 🤮

Pizza has to be graded on a sliding scale.
You can't directly compare a $5 Hot-n-Ready to the $25 wood fired neopolitan. It's a price/product ratio.

For those that don't know, in the grab and go game...don't sleep on Casey's gas station pizza. Especially their breakfast pizza. Fire.

3. Thunder is caused by lightning vs thunder IS lightning. What say you?

Wat

Thunder AND lightning are the only thing that designate the visual and audio aspects as different entities, even though they are the same act.

You see and hear a gunshot. See and hear an explosion. Yet we see lightning and hear thunder.

Also Cody hates modern gaming and Playstation.
Also also, I think it's lame that Dominoes Pizza socials are constantly slamming Sony. It's kind of funny when non-related corporations beef on social media, but for my money, Dominoes pizza isn't good enough to be running such game.

1. Did it give you a field to explain your "other" choice?

No.

2. What are your thoughts on the rumors of Xbox developing a "disc to digital" feature?

Don't care.

Uh. Aren’t you being a little dramatic? Anyway, you could make a better case for abandoning the hobby thanks to the ever-increasing cost of participating.

Money is not a concern. Heck, if they had simply charged a premium for physical discs I would have paid.

Are you telling me the games you play on your mac you buy on a disc?

No, you can't buy computer games on a disc anymore. I buy them from GOG or in certain cases Apple's App store. Weirdly, it actually seems like the Mac App store doesn't have DRM because I've copied my games around with no issue (although that could be on a per game basis, I don't know).

Maybe he is. But I don’t think so. Sony just removed 500 movies from their service. Even you bought them, you can no longer access them. They either just did or are shutting down the Playstation 3 store. Anyone who thinks they’re going to have access to their digital games forever is a fool. Whether that’s a real issue or not is up to you.

I hit digitally because it’s convenient and I don’t want shelves full of old games I’ll never touch again. But I don’t think I’ll have those digital games forever either.

Looks like 2028 will be the end for me. Switch has fake game carts. MS has ads everywhere. Now PS will have no discs. It appears from 2028 on, I’ll only be able to play something I can buy on GOG, or be confident I can crack.

Time to sunset console gaming. So very sad. Thank you to everybody who buys digital. This is your fault.

And I say this as someone who has been buying physical switch games (never Game Key cards), xbox, and ps5 games.

I don't like this, but looking at it from the other end: I'm nearing retirement. I've got rooms full of physical media I've been collecting for 50 years, including games. (The most common things I buy now are books and 4K movies, but if I never bought anything else, I've got enough to keep me busy until I die.) I haven't bought games on disc for a while, and part of my assumption is that they all have patches and probably won't work without them, so what is the difference?

I do worry about future support. That's a real issue. Talk of Xbox's demise has me concerned. I had Xbox Gold from the beginning and rarely did I turn down a free game, but I often picked up old licenses for hits when they got really cheap. How will I access those? I better be part of the class action suit.

It can all co-exist man. Take a chill pill and game with us you grumpy fart. :P

I can't be part of the problem, sorry. But I'll join your D&D group.
