When I played the game in around ‘09, it was already pretty dire - ugly as sin, with hokey writing, and a laughable binary morality system. But it's undeniable the impact it made on both Star Wars (creating a whole new era to explore and introducing some memorable characters like HK), and on Bioware (paving the way…

This deal is good for no one but the stock holders and of course, those wonderful golden parachutes for upper management.

You just made the case for Congress to re-regulate airfares! I'd support it.

This is almost as unamerican as HOAs. If someone buys something, it is theirs to do with as they please. They can use it, or they can not use it, but the seller shouldn’t be able to force them to do anything, otherwise they shouldn’t be selling the thing.

I couldn’t agree more. I did something like this many years ago when trying to get from Oslo to Vienna for a reasonable price. It was a bit different though - a round trip was cheaper than a one-way trip so I booked the round trip and didn’t take the flight back to Oslo.

An empty seat is a ticket unsold to the money minds who make air travel tick.

Or this is - yes, I’m putting my tinfoil hat on now - a test balloon. See if a bill about ending privacy - first a small scope bill, against drugs (we surely all can agree heroin is bad, right)? Then, if that doesn't cause too much protest, or if it passes, on to the next steps. Becoming a full-on dictatorship, one…

I just don’t see how this doesn’t have such a massive signal/noise ratio, to such an extent it is effectively more trouble for agencies than it’s worth. And as with anything that level of signal to noise means the government has to choose who to watch— turning an ostensibly universal tool into one of targeted…

Here’s to piracy. It’s really the only reason why video games from the 80s & 90s are still available to play. Want to play that arcade game you spent way too many quarters on back in the day? Piracy lets you do that. Want to play a beloved Atari or Sega Master System game? Piracy lets you do that. The companies that…

not unlike the film industry before the move to digital. Half of all American films made before 1950 and over 90% of films made before 1929 are lost forever, because it wasnt seen as an important thing to preserve until film became respected as an art form and not a sideshow distraction.

Hoping gaming starts preserving…

Kids should not be drinking any kind of energy drink either way, not sure why would someone give one to their children...

Accepted the check.

Oh a new Diablo class? Nea...oh it’s for Immortal, who could possibly give a shit

I’m just impressed that you can keep them all separate in your mind. To me, they are just kind of a supercut of Tom Cruise running and doing stunts.

have yet to meet anyone that likes motion blur yet they still keep on making it default on

And Macron leans even harder into authoritarianism.

It is fascinating to me that we in the west somehow seem to think authoritarianism only exists in those other countries. As if time and time again we don’t see that when the people want real change, all of these governments will be as authoritarian as it needs to quell that desire and to maintain its power

What we need now, more than ever, is a good, solid gaze back on history. None of this unrest and discontent is NEW. It is old, very old. In the past people were handicapped by the lack of speed in the news. As a species we were more compartmentalized, with some places hearing about events a few years prior for the…

Trying to quell the rioting French public is historically, a poor decision:

Maybe try de-militarizing the police, instead.
