Except they were mostly just camped at the bakery door driving off all the other customers so that they got to keep all the cakes for themselves. Sure the lights were on, but the bakery was barely limping along. And now that the baker can sell online, they can’t get in the way as efficiently.  They can lie across the…

I’m a woman who played MtG back in beta / Arabian Nights / Revised release era, while working at a game store. (Fun fact about the revised edition, the packs were translucent, so you could see the rare without buying it, which is why game shop employees always had great decks, and customers got trash rares.) One of my…

So are there any children of rich people that are genuinely talented, scholarly, or smart? Do you ever hear of any real accomplishments outside of ‘Instagram promoter’ or ‘influencer’ or ‘famous for being famous’?

Given how many clipping problems I had on my Draenei, I can see it. So many armour sets suffer from giant head syndrome, or clip awfully because of the Draenei sway back. Any head piece with any collar inevitably buried the hanging collar in my giant draenei boobs. Think priest T8 toilet bowl helm for reference. The…

This seems like a pretty straightforward tactic to try an boost the perception of server numbers by forcing players to congregate in one or limited meeting areas.  Not that I’m suggesting a WoW is dying conspiracy theory, but it just seems a standard practice to remove options for that reason.  If everyone needs to go…

The best trick TERFs ever pulled was hiding their fairly blatant misandry under the guise of transphobia. Not that they don’t genuinely hate trans women (trans men don’t exist to them), but they hate them because they see them as *men* first.

It’s funny that you count ATMs as an example of automation that makes lives easier. Not my experience at all. I have worked with retail and financial hardware for over 15 years, and the bullshit financial hardware puts people through far outstrips retail. Not to mention, for such a simple process, people really fuck…

It’s really hard to find. Even when you have an increased risk for it (eg BRCA2 gene) they don’t often do any preventative tests for it because the tests are so invasive and often inconclusive. You more or less are stuck waiting for it to spread, and by the time it does, it’s often too late.

Cool, so where’s my flight where I don’t have to sit next to some 5' 2" tall dude who wants the arm rest, half my seat, and my foot rest? Where’s my flight free from guys who pull my headphones out so they can talk to me for 5 hours? Where’s my flight free from the people doused in perfume? Or the ones who want the…

One of our great danes used to play fetch with a basketball. She loved chasing it around, it was her favourite thing because it could stand up to her rough-housing. Then the other one grabbed it and popped it with one bite. She was *so* mad at him, and she slept curled around the basketball corpse for weeks after,…

if a person is seeking out a psychic, they’re probably going to hear whatever they want to hear anyway.

That’s a hard one though. What about games where people couldn’t even start the game due to bugs, or aggressive DRM, or due to issues with a specific OS? What if you get a half hour into it and it’s just recycled assets, and copy paste dialogue? What if the game is deceptively marketed to be one genre, and it’s…

Buy the game, review bomb it, refund the game.  It is the general masses.  The reviews have a fair number of “One product on account, one review” reviews from accounts that are just randomly generated numbers.

My old office was on the bus route that passed the EA offices. Depending on the hiring cycle, I’d go from standing room only to deserted. Just what we need. More 6 week job cycles with near minimum wage. That’ll sure help in a city where a 400ft condo costs $500k.

At least only 5-10% of them are actually watching him. 90% of his subs are just subscribing because someone famous told them to. /shrug

Oh yeah, I can understand their point of view. The government can’t be allowed to tell you what to do with your, or your child’s body, even if it saves a life, and must certainly never interfere with your health care.

They only want to trim them to make the books look good for shareholders, even if it’s detrimental to the company. Shareholders never think beyond immediate gratification.

All these people remind me of other people my age (40s) who grew up on a diet of ironic racism and consider themselves liberal the whole time. The same culture of straight people insisting they are not prejudiced, while throwing out ‘gay’ as a rejoinder to anything they don’t like, or dudes whose only comeback to…

No, no, no. You see, Leviticus is part of the old testament, so you don’t have to obey the rules of the old testament now that there’s the new testament, and also LGBT+ folks are bad because it says so in the old testament and every word of the bible is true, and should be obeyed at all time.

Gloomhaven on Saturday, but Sunday will probably be back to Grim Dawn.  Still trying to see if I can make an arcanist that isn’t so squishy.
