So are the externalized costs of using fossil fuels, where we just burn it and are like, “Eh, I’m sure my kids will figure it out” a part of this calculation?

I used to be a criminal defense attorney, and I can say that there was no charge I disliked more than resisting arrest. Set aside the fact that cops are professional perjurers who people would believe if they said that not only is the sun going to rise in the west tomorrow, but that it’s always risen in the west and…

Assuming she didn’t catch E. coli or something, that story is kind of adorable.

That always seems weird to me. EVERY game for EVERY video game company always seems to fail to meet expectations. At some point, I think you have to reconsider how you’re making your sales forecasts.

Huh, good to know. I assumed it was cracked because some FBI guy dropped it while he was on the toilet.

Back when I used to teach, I was really surprised by this. Every student in my school was required to have a iPad, but most of them were less-advanced users than my nearly seventy year old parents. And they’re iPads, so it’s not like it was complex troubleshooting, editing config.sys files or anything like that. “Your…

And THAT is the problem with adjudication by Komitee.

It is impossible, unless we expect these companies to actually invest in their networks, which, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you, is ridiculous. I mean, if they have to pay to upgrade their systems, how can they be expected to pay for lobbyists, board staff, and stock buybacks?

“Seven to eight”? I’d be less concerned about whether he has Covid and more concerned about his mental state. How do you not know how many people you’re buying a vacation for? Are we sure his last name isn’t McCallister?

This article got me thinking - How much can an app change between versions? For example, I have a few applications on my phone that are from smaller companies, maybe even individuals. If one of those gets purchased by an organization that wants to collect this data, is there anything that would keep them from renaming…

A number of years back, I had a friend who INSISTED I had to watch BSG. It may be the series I’ve disliked most that I’ve still watched every episode of. The first season or two were really good, then every season after that went the same way: Really interesting beginning that gets me into the season, really dull…

Yeah, that’s unfortunate, because it seems really cool. I guess it’s around $140 US for the base set, and that’s just a little too rich for me. $100? I’d certainly consider it. Anything less than that would have been more or less a certain sale. Miniatures are one thing about the Kickstarter gaming renaissance that I…

There are so many people in the comments of articles like this talking about how “this is why I only buy physical games!” Yeah, for sure, you’ll have something, but how similar will it be to the game you remember and want to revisit? For example, I can’t imagine anyone who plays No Man’s Sky and enjoys it now would…

I’ve always thought “It seemed like a good idea at the time,” but that one definitely works, too.

I tried Remote Play Together on a whim a couple months back, and I was really impressed with how well it worked. I first saw it in the context of some board game conversions that I had in my library, and thought that would be lots of fun, but never got around to trying it. Well, a couple months ago, I decided to give…

My first thought was Jennicam, so yeah, I guess us old guys aren’t commenting yet.

I can only imagine that wrapped-up body got him some strange looks when he was setting up for the shoot.

Yeah, I know. I feel like if I skipped forward a little bit, I’d really get into it, but that would feel like skipping dinner and going straight to dessert. Maybe I’ll take another crack at it this weekend. I mean, it’s Covid. It’s not like I’ve got a whole lot else to do.

I loved Babylon 5 back when it was airing, and would catch it any time I could. I’ve tried watching it start to finish a couple times now that it’s finally come to streaming, and I just can’t do it. I don’t know what it is that’s turning me off, but I’ll watch a few episodes, decide to take some time off and get back…

This is great to know! Not too long back, I was interested in this game, but had too big a backlog, so I decided to wait until I saw a price I couldn’t pass up. Guess today’s that day.
