I doubt Janelle Monae would put up with that bullshit and still trade collaborations with Grimes on their most recent albums.

Username checks out.

Here’s the design evolution of every portable product over the last twenty years:

Me, too. Any time I’ve heard a play-by-play announcer say “half-wall”, the player is in that area between the top of the face-off circle and the boards.

Can you please keep your narratives straight? Ben didn’t suddenly say this after the draft. His tune changed the day Todd Haley, the offensive coordinator he was constantly rumored to be feuding with, was replaced by quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner.

Black, because it’s an automotive design crutch. Product planners have “Sport model = NONE MORE BLACK” burned into their retinas, so designers are stuck with it.

I might be willing to grant the referees the benefit of the doubt on the passage of time between Connelly’s stick hitting Murray’s leg and the shot. But if the puck isn’t in the crease, that is absolutely a slash, and by the insanely soft standard for slashing this season, a horrible blown call.

Don’t forget the index of refraction of snow-covered, skate-rutted ice.

A Washington team’s season ends in their home arena at the hands of an opponent dressed in black & gold.

I’ve been shouting into the void about this on Twitter for a week now. OT loser points and shootouts are skewing just how close these teams really are. By regular season ROW, here’s the remaining eight:

The one thing the NFL Machine fears more than anything else is the mere possibility that somebody, somewhere, might turn their attention to the NBA or NHL after the Super Bowl ends.

Halo 5 Forge for Windows is only “feature complete” because, after launching strictly as a map editor for Xbox with an invite-only “test mode”, Windows gamers reminded Microsoft that we have our torches and pitchforks at hand at all times for bullshit like that.

Goshdarnit, I’m at work, so I can’t post “Kill Rock & Roll” by System of a Down right now. Daron Malakian accidentally squished a baby bunny on a late-night drive, named it Rock & Roll, then wrote a nu-metal song as an apology to the rabbit’s mother.

Tech companies like Google, Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Facebook, Snap, Microsoft, etc is what drives e-waste even though they may not directly manufacture and sell hardware.

Forgetting the difference between a “3-foot” PC UI and a “10-foot” console/TV UI is becoming annoyingly common. It’s happening on PC-only games, too, mostly in the form of long-running MMOs on 4K displays. Anybody else who has played LOTRO on a 4K display and squinted at 4 pt. quest text — rendered in a bitmap font…

Not enough studios are devoting time to playing on TVs from a couch. The developers are at desks playing on 24”-32” displays, and apparently so are the testers. Or if they are playing from 10’ away, they’re doing it too late to make adjustments before release day.

I’m fully aware that the Apple TV remote’s design is a form-over-function faceplant, but...
