That’s who people think the old woman was? I thought she was an aged clone of his FRANXX-partner, given their conversation focused so much on his relationship with her.

you say non-stick and normally i’d agree (I scratch them to shit in months), but the Zwilling ceramic-nonstick saucepans are great. Weren’t crazy expensive, have had over a year and not managed to scratch.

“One Planet” Uuuuugh. Warhammer 40k is so perfectly suited to an Imperium Galactica-esque space-based 4X with both space & ground-based management and battles, it amazes me no studio seems to be making that.

Slowly moving towards singularity? You do realize most people of my generation’s favorite Christmas movie and favorite Halloween movie are the same damn movie, and I’ll hear “Making Christmas” thousands of times between September and January?

Hadn’t thought about it but yea — they’re yoyos without tricks or effort.
Also thanks: You made me buy a yoyo because I missed it suddenly.

Thanks for that. Imagining Selden with the backing of a corporation with one of the largest market capitalizations in history, it is no wonder they’re willing to shell out to try to be the first to patent & to market.

I don’t know - autonomous vehicle tech has the potential to be giant given IP law these days. Imagine Ford patenting ‘4 wheels w/ an internal combustion engine & seats’ and having the legal strength to defend it.

For interactivity, every twitch channel has a IRC chat room embedded in the page. Most streamers interact with that chat to varying degrees. Dont see as how that’s different from a Reddit thread, and is definitely part of Twitch’s rise.

I’m in the older demographic too. There’s a number of things I get out of watching streams - I can watch someone who is considerably better at a game than I am and learn things. Once upon a time new games were far between, now something new I want to play comes out almost every month, and with 40+ hours of game time…

For the flightstick/HOTAS fans out there, Mad Catz has owned Saitek for the last decade, this bankrupcy had me concerned. Fortunately Logitech bought Saitek off Mad Catz in September...for less than half what Mad Catz paid for the company in 2007.

Classic narcissism at work — beyond the tailoring or off-the-rack horrible fit, the tie is poorly tied far too long, and suit is never buttoned. This is a man who willingly ignores simple, well-established rules about the clothes he’s wearing. Always, sometimes, never, Trump you horrifying bastard.

Classic narcissist move, telling the skilled professional how to do their job.

And why in 9 hells won’t he button the jacket when he’s standing?

Which will decide the outcome of World War 2.

We can — we do it for motorcycle helmets. Those can absorb a lot of impact...once. Then you need a new helmet.

The idea of a football game where the players change helmets after every play amuses me.

by ‘terrible things’ I don’t just mean ‘screenwriters wrecking the source material’ — compressing multi-part books into a couple hours of movie, trying to represent the abstract in graphical ways (poor Dune), etc.

It is an outstanding movie still. Holds up amazingly almost 30 years later. I’m just saying to anyone who…

Then you read the manga, realize there is actually a great story that makes sense and that the anime does the terrible thing movies do to book series all the time.

Couldn’t call it ‘cutting-edge’ - far too large, thick, heavy, and much too crude.

My father and my niece & nephew. His toast at my sister’s wedding was “I can’t believe she couldn’t do better than some n*****.” Her husband is one of the nicest guys I’ve met.

Cut my dad out my life 3 years ago. Haven’t missed him at all.

I know the guy who originally made the video and the torrent. Sent him a link, thinking he’d get a kick out of it, and he decided to start taking some credit.

It wouldn’t be disrespectful to have a Bowie skin DLC pack for Final Fantasy XIV would it?
