Sounds like Oregon. Except you can feel free to shoot other people in Portland (not enough police). Wait wasn't Jersey like that at one point also? :unsure: Is Portland, OR the West Coast version of Jersey?

this whole state is a leftist hell hole at this point. Dunno how Oregon is compared to that. We do have jug handles however which is much safer than just turning left at major intersections

This is so funny to me, because where I live (Norway) our major most right wing party is to the left of Obama, maybe to the right of Bernie Sanders...... Which makes me a super commie leftie I assume, since I do not vote for our local facist and racist wanna be right wing parties :D

ah so you got a bunch of people who convinced you that they are the good millionaires but those other millionaires and billionaires are the real issue ? That's the Sanders way

I'll bite :)

No, there are no good millioners or billioners, we are actually seeing an exodus of millioners and billioners from the country now, due to some painful hikes in taxes on rich people.

There are a few. I know a woman who is a multi-milionaire and she lives a modest life and gives generously to charity. She is just a nice person who is not motivated by wealth or material possessions. Some people are quietly philanthropic. Then there are folks like Paul Tudor Jones, Ray Daly, and Serena and Venus Williams. I do think if you're brought up privileged, then you have to fight harder against becoming an asshole.

Quick comment about PS5 availability in Europe . Ps5 is available in Sweden, Norway and Poland without any issues. Either console alone or bundles. Multiple big online shops have them in stock.

It is available in Germany too but delivered next year but not available in Spain, France or Belgium. After it doesn't mean order a PS5 and it will arrive before Christmas. Here it is possible to buy a PS5 in a bundle but it will only arrive later in January.

After I think being available is not reach for the moment. The console need to available alone in any country any retailer and any time anywhere in the world where the console is officially sold. This is not the case for the moment. Being available is being able to go to any brick and mortar retailer and buy the console alone and take it at home immediately...

The situation is even worse in France than in Spain for example in some retailer they forced you to buy a PS5 and a TV :ROFLMAO:

 
And Xbox Series X is not fully available by my definition. Same retailer in Spain, the have some XSX stock in Spain but not in every point of sales. They do online sales but they are brick and mortar. Here the only true available console is the Xbox Series S. You can order online and go take the console two hours later in the nearest brick and mortar place of your home or work or they will send it and it will arrive in 2 hours if you don't live too far. But it means if you don't live too far from a Carrefour you can go ask a Xbox Serie S paid it and go back at home with the console. This is not the case for XSX maybe you need to order online and wait they send the console from another shop in the country.


Imo being able to choose the retailer you want is very important, Sony gave more stock to online shop for PS5 launch than brick and mortar shop. At least with brick and mortar if you have the motivation you can take a day off, take a tent and go the day before console launch in a waiting queue near a shop you know will have some stock and take your console when the shop open. Fighting scalper bots online was too difficult.

Another reason you can have discount or gift card of one retailer. For example in one of my previous job every time someone succeed to pass a certification (Salesforce, MS, SCRUM..), he/she received a 150 euros Mediamarkt gift card. My company employee were among the best customer of the Mediamarkt of the city.

XBOX Series S is in general easy to find where I am living too. PS5's and Series X's are super hard to find though.
Some stock was temporarily available a few days ago for PS5, bot sure of Series X but again out of stock
 
It keeps on climbing...

High on Life has passed Grand Theft Auto V to reach the Top 3 Most Played Game on Xbox

The only 2 games with more players are Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Fortnite.

Not gonna lie, can't believe what I'm seeing. Just an absurdly strong performance for a single-player New IP

 
I have not played this but what is so crazy is the seeming disconnect from reviewers to the public. There is a wide range on the consensus here.
Some reviewers were spot on with the public concensus here.

At least one may have had ulterior motives behind their review score, if you check out their typical tweets you will see some strong leanings for PlayStation and against Xbox.
 
Interesting. I'll have to check that one out.

Btw, I know people treat VG chartz with skepticism and we probably should be careful, but they think that X|S and PS5 are neck and neck world-wide this holiday. The Series S was a great idea for MS as it's helping them close the gap with Sony pretty well, I think.

Eurogamer doesnt lean towards Playstation. It is generally very objective. But they said to Avoid this title. Btw how is Gamepass allocating revenue? Now this one seems to be on the top charts on gamepass.
It should deserve some extra remunaration. Is this how it works?
