                    nah chupacabruuuh, I have my target set up in the woods away from the bullshit. Or at the virtually-unused public archery range. There are ads there, and they’re ads for businesses that actually paid to build the thing, which is different from ad revenue for the sake of ad revenue TO MAXIMIZE PROFITS. Brody I’m so fuckin tired.

                                  Just don’t play Microsoft games. They crippled or outright destroyed all their former good game studios anyway. So it’s not like they will be making great games you can’t live without anyway.

                                            Guess I’ll just keep sailing the high seas. Someone let me know when businesses want to act with some semblance of good faith to their customers.
