I'm watching the digital foundry video for Go of War 4. It makes God of War 3 look like a ps2 game.

I don't think that's how graphics work...

If you really want to know absolutely nothing about the game then don't read this, but I wouldn't call this a spoiler.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Thank you for putting that in a spoiler tag.

I really hope my collectors edition comes by USPS cause our guy comes by noon usually. If it's UPS then who the hell knows when I'll get it. Sometimes we get stuff at like 9am and sometimes at 7pm.

Off topic but isn't it kinda fun that the USPS is popular again?

I remember when I was growing up there was a bunch of talk about how the internet has made mail obsolete and post should cut back to fewer days. I think they might have even stopped doing Saturday delivery for a while.

Now you never hear that discussion. Yay last mile delivery!

Yeah I remember something like that at some point. They aren't in that great of shape right now though, right. Only thing i've heard about USPS lately is Trump blaming amazon.

They're not in the best shape but now they're less viewed as a dying industry, unlike newspapers.

The biggest reason why USPS loses money is because they're required to put away billions for future retirees. They're required to put away more than $5.5 billion yearly.

Without it, they would have made money in 2016.

Amazon has been huge for USPS despite what the president says....

4 days!

Also, yes I am. Intoxicated

Replaying GoW 3 remastered in anticipation of Friday. I seriously am really glad they are changing up the combat and camera in the new one. Replaying the old games, while still fun as hell, is definitely stale in the gameplay department.

I like the static cam and it's still used in Bayonetta for example, but I'm glad they're mixing up the gameplay just to keep things fresh.

Yes it does. New good graphics automatically reduces texture resolution from the gen before.

It's propaganda. I remember my math instructor (he was thr guy who taught me how to teach math for high school) and talks of shutting down the post is all propaganda for UPS and FedEx. Canada Post didn't make money for letters and mail. They make huge money for parcels.

From 2012 apparently. Higher PAL sales than I thought
