I’m on ExPo, I’ve seen both sides. Though I will say expecting a car to be able to do 5k miles without problems is a very low bar.

Bangle is to whoever is doing this hot mess as G.W. Bush was to Trump. Not good in any way, but the current guy is so bad you long for the “good old days”.

This CAN happen. The other day I squeezed the ketchup too hard and it blurped the entire marching anthem of the North Vietnamese Army. My grandpa started screaming and emptied a can of pepper spray into the dog’s face and my mom got so upset she threw up in the shape of a Totenkopf. It’s so crazy how fluids just…

It just feels weird. But unlike movies, where a relatively low framerate is necessary to preserve that unique filmic quality, I’m convinced my discomfort with 60 fps in video games is a by-product of years getting by with less.

Absurd addition to this review.  Are we going to mention ongoing tragedies in every review of luxury items and consumer products?  "Here's an RTX 3080, but let's reflect on the pandemic that has killed 240k Americans.  You probably should feel bad for buying this"

As someone who’s legitimately excited about a Biden presidency, the notion that having ‘a different old white man sitting behind the Resolute desk’ would somehow make the ‘worst people’ ‘go away’ is... a bit much to take in a PS5 review. And kind of creepy, honestly. I’m not saying there’s no reason to feel that way,…

I thought this was interesting

I’ve run entire D&D 5th Edition campaigns for 10th-level spellcasters with easier understood combinations of factors.

Resale before David Tracy: Excellent.

Seriously, the over complication of options that can’t be had together, or must be had together is maddening.

I feel like with all the weird rules and exceptions to the rules on packages they would be better off offering fewer packages and a-la-cart from there.

Doesn’t literally all video game content on Twitch contain copyrighted music?

Microsoft is working to set up a games-as-service business that they can use as a platform unrelated to hardware. That’s where they think the business is moving forward, and unfortunately they’re probably right.

Reason number 256034 I won’t be buying an Xbox:

This effort feels like a half measure, like they almost did the right things, but then decided not to. Maybe not half-ass, like 3/4-ass. A little like the phrase:

The proper term isn’t downvotes, it’s “surprise disagreements.”

Well at least that will give them a sense of pride and accomplishment 

Ball joints and wheel bearings are absolutely considered normal maintenance.
