Not overpriced if you are planning to keep your subscription. After you apply the gift certificate to your subscription you are only paying $50 over retail; eBay the game to cover that and you end up with a free headset for your effort.

The soccer player you’re looking for is Michael Bradley although tbh Cheapy you look more like his Dad, Bob, who used to be coach of the US national team.

I think it was clear that Wombat doesn’t even know who owns the Braves (Liberty Media) let alone whether they have the political clout to change laws in Georgia. They are worth a small fraction of companies like Coca Cola and Delta. Also not sure what Robert Kraft has to do with anything; he...

The discussion of paying NCAA players was oversimplified. The real issue is that most schools lose money on sports overall and the few that make a profit don’t make much. The big money comes from alumni donations but those aren’t considered income for sports even if that is what keeps the...

Phytoestrogens ARE estrogen, it’s just the kind that plants use rather than humans. In humans it has a pretty weak effect but it doesn’t block anything; I think you just got information from someone that doesn’t understand a complex topic.

Yeah, that comment made no sense. Netflix has a lot more original shows, and sure they are not all the greatest; but Disney has kids programming some of which is lower quality than anything done by Netflix. Disney has some expensive licenses but money doesn’t equal quality.

This is completely false but I’m not going to continue a political argument on a gaming forum.

You’re missing the point. The law was passed so the USPS had to stop hiding their losses from the pensions, it didn’t create any money to pay them.

Cheapy, you seem to be the one making it political. I think his point was that Social Dilemma is full of people talking gibberish. Since Shipwreck explained about options trading in this week’s episode think about the part where the supposed expert describes companies as “trading exclusively...

The USPS loses money because it has promised excessive pensions to employees that it can no longer support with mail volume having dropped by almost half in the last 20 years Nothing to do with having to deliver to rural areas. If there’s a specific type of delivery that loses them a lot of...

I’ve had zero problems with FedEx but USPS is a complete mess, with items regularly taking 3 weeks. One package took 32 days on a 2 day “guarantee” and another took 21 days to travel 20 miles. If packages are getting “lost” then the issue is really theft, which seems to be happening a lot with...

Digital sales are heavily weighted to low cost and discounted games. Consumers still have a strong preference for physical copies when the price is the same.

That’s not correct. Bank transfer definitely works; in fact I find that it will sometimes take from the bank account even when credit card is set as default.

Cheapy: it was Veterans Day, you don’t need to impute some motive about your neighbor’s signs. Go thank him for his service.

I don’t think Wombat understands the actual meaning of virtue signaling.  Virtue signaling is putting solar panels on the front side of your house when they would generate more electricity on the back.  It’s when being seen to be a “good” person is more important than actually doing good.
