I don’t think consoles have had a pricing advantage for a looong time. It’s been several generations at least. Unless you mean specifically a pricing advantage on physical media, but that mostly went out the window when the disc on many games just became a glorified DRM dongle.

They’re manufacturing things to be upset about, because he has a serious amount of popular momentum. It must be hard as he continues to fucking kill it in terms of policy. All the charts showing the achievements as if they are a bad thing are all you need to understand how out of touch these folks are.
The weird talking points like complaining about him jumping into a pool in a suit tend to come around when more substantive arguments aren’t materializing.

I know that “flood the zone” is a specific, named tactic, but for the purposes of this administration and for other historical reasons, we might want to start calling it “filling the swamp”.

The “Joe Biden is an empty suit” people sure don’t seem to mind empty suits when they’re members of the GOP. Curious.

Yeah, I did know that. But tbh, most of the dipshits flying it don’t even know that.

I’m not disagreeing, but it is worthwhile to point out that the groups can converge.
It may be a class war, but when all the boomers you know are a class above you, it can be both.
Ah, I was thinking game cost, not console cost specifically. So fair point.
