I know a few people who havent seen star wars but they for sure know it exists. 

My mother was born in 1950 and she’s been playing Tetris in some form or another ever since my brother installed a bootleg copy on our Windows 3.1-era PC back in the early 90s.

I guarantee you a not-insignificant portion of folks born in the decades prior to the ‘80s are also quite familiar with Tetris, either through playing it themselves as teens or young adults or hearing about it from their kids. It’s genuinely unlikely this guy really did not know about Tetris.

Tetris is big enough that it’s the sort of thing that if something else is just generally referencing video games, titles like Tetris, Pac-Man and Mario pop up. There are some titles and properties that even if you don’t follow the genre or medium, you’d at least know that it exists.  It’s like saying “Yeah, I’m…

This is the “I don’t even own a TV” of video game boasts

There’s a movie about how it was brought to the west from the soviet union and probably contains more high speed car chases than in the real story

I get what you’re saying, but this is more along the lines of not knowing what Survivor is/was. I also avoid reality shows like the plague, but I’m still aware of it.

I think it’s the fact that he’s a film critic that makes this astounding. I can buy that someone so far removed from all media maybe hasn’t heard of it. But if your chosen career path is to watch films, of which Tetris is one of the few games that has been around long enough and has enough cultural footprint to be…

Pokebank is actually going to be free going forward, but you’ll need to either buy a subscription now to access the Pokemon Transporter, or use a homebrew script to access the store page to download the Transporter. 

My understanding is the prices have been increasing for a few years now. I heard people looking for a used 2DS/3DS over the last year or two and were basically finding them listed at full price.

(getting way too loud) RADIANT HISTORIA PERFECT CHRONOLOGY

They’ve very rarely rereleased a DS / 3DS game on a non-DS system, with the only exception being the small selection of DS games on Wii U’s amazing Virtual Console. Beyond that, the vast majority of gems on those systems are still trapped there, which is why the announcement of the Etrian Odyssey collection and Ghost…

I don’t mean to speak ill of the dead, but who’s out there making AI that sounds like this guy? is there a market for that? I vaguely remember who this man was. I’m sure it’s a great body of work, but was there really such a demand to needlessly distress a widow?

Gonna get fat on all this popcorn watching people try to luddite their way out of the AI revolution. Could just use AI to generate their responses and save on the time and effort.

But don’t you see, if I buy an MFT of a hat I can bring it to multiple games I own if I have the same hat.

Please don’t pay attention that I have to have dedicated programmers spend time and resources in each game to actually program said hat to look correctly on all of our PCs even if it mismatches the ascetics of our…

Can’t wait to see the sales figures for their blockchain games! Everybody loves an alienating and divisive fad that has already imploded!

No, really, AI is the only viable moderation solution that will ever exist. Unless you’re a very low traffic, basically private server, the moderation problem quickly becomes untenable. Even when you do have volunteer mods who are active, if it’s a large server with dozens of channels and tens of thousands of users,…

Okay, look. Most of this, I agree wholeheartedly with. Fuck “Art” AIs, fuck Chatbot AIs, fuck all that shit.

They build new barrelhouses close to neighborhoods, some of which were built without proper permits.
