To be fair, it wouldn't have been hard for anyone to think of an island or beach adventure for any of their licensed properties. World of Warcraft for instance always seems to have a new island or archipelago popping up every other expansion. Sometimes there are islands two expansions in a row.

Edit: Hell, Japan is an Island.

Johnny Bravo hasn't aged well for this and other reasons. The character himself was funny in the way he acted like a dorkier, blonder version of Elvis though. I remember thinking it was funny in the past, but then again, I was a child.

2016, I agree. He was cheated and could've beaten Trump.

2020? Not so sure. Even Bernie himself admitted that Joe Biden's pro working class policies and bottom up, middle out economic plan was very similar to his. He even said that his campaign team was so glad that Joe Biden didn't run in 2016. Bernie himself stated that Joe Biden was so sincerely for the average working American, that even though Biden was basically "Bernie Lite", he wasn't sure he could win against Joe.

If we look at what Joe Biden's been doing for this country, including passing the infrastructure bills, limited gun restrictions, and the Inflation reduction act, we see that he is kind of "Bernie Lite" and honestly, it's SO much better than Trump, that I'll take it.

We're all Alpharius at the other back. At least, those of us who aren't Omegnon.

So... blockchain, NFT, Live Service, Microtransaction FPS with MMO style grind, and maybe it's in a fantasy setting for some reason, with unlockable space ships that you can only buy with real life cash, Star Citizen style?

Oh, and there's no gameplay ever released, but you can keep buying skins and other microtransactions.

Then it shuts down with no refunds 5 years later, and all your purchases go poof, and the only "gameplay" released is one slow FPS level with a backwards flying dragon and some generic terrorists.

AMD side: Sapphire, Powercolor, and XFX in that order usually. Asrock's been pretty decent as well.

Nvidia? Not really sure, Zotac is a sister company to Sapphire and is usually pretty decent, I've heard. MSI might be okay, but I'd read reviews for the specific card in question. Same with Asus, as I've heard they've been going downhill as of late. Gigabyte's been known for poor quality cards for a while. Maybe not all of them, but more of them than other brands.

That's just the word on the grapevine though, individual reviewers would have more insight. Like Gamer's Nexus and Hardware unboxed.

That sounds about right. Gigabyte's known as being an inferior choice much of the time, and ASUS has been cheaping out lately and getting lazy. They're just coasting on their name recognition as of late, unfortunately.

Eh, Millenials have the luxury of probably being dead by the time that Gen Z and those afterwards inherit the "real shit" historical moments. We're still in the "I sleep" part of the meme, fortunately(?).

True, but if you like looking at them and it soothes your stress, that kind of helps. Stress = inflammation after all. Plus, there's the placebo effect, which is surprisingly effective sometimes.

It's a farmer thing. It's about fertilizer. Or it used to be, but then farmers started making jokes while talking about fertilizer, and then they made jokes without the fertilizer... and then it kept going until their city friends started just making jokes, and it leads to where we are today.

To be honest, that new Superman cartoon that Adult Swim is making makes Superman AND Lois Lane look Asian.

Honestly, not shocking. Campaign's fun for a while, but then gets samey. Also, the story's okay, but I feel like storytelling took a nosedive after 343 took over and Bungie left. Reach was the last Halo game that I would describe as feeling emotional. I still think fondly about the "Remember Reach" campaign and the some of the live action cinematics during the Bungie era.

343... I wanted to like them, but each edition of Halo starting from 4 had something missing from it. And what they did to try and "fix" it just didn't gel that much for me. I don't know who could do a better job than them, but at this point I would guess any credible FPS studio.
