It’s not ‘needlessly contentious’, Zack just cherry picked quotes and editorialized around them to make it look that way. Read the actual article he’s pulling from.

This article felt a tad misleading.  They are just saying, from an internal control aspect, they bucket Mods and Cheats together.  Not that they are against Mod’s in general.

Say what you will about these games, but their approach to low-point-of-entry, high-customisation PC settings whilst still looking and running pretty darn good is top class. Since 2019's MW at least, I’ve been impressed by how good it looks without melting my aging PC

This restaurant and Blue Ridge in general is just a buncha yuppies from Atlanta that come up “north” and either own expensive lake houses and cabins or rent Airbnb’s. Reading some of the Google reviews for this place, the owner/ mgmt sound like gigantic douches so this fee doesn’t surprise me. 

Admit it: you phrased the title this way to make people feel old when they see the DS called “classic” :p

comes from ballroom culture from the 80s that became zoomer speak on tiktok

Probably mine.

If your issue is that the Next button has a delay before you’re allowed to press it, the pack is to go to the slideshow list, then the Previous button has no delay so you can click through them quickly

There are so many better ideas that they could have done instead of anything they did do, including doing nothing.

I’d be curious how much influence Rowling had in all this nonsense, especially as, IIRC, she wrote the screenplays (which was a problem in of itself, cos she’s no screenwriter). I feel like even the most foolish Hollywood executive would have preferred / wanted the jolly Disney-adjacent romp with CGI animals - yet it…

Pretty much this. Besides the last 5 minutes I think the first movie works well. I kind of think the second and third movies wouldn’t have been that well received, even if JK wasn’t a terrible person. I don’t know if she started with the Newt/Fantastic Beasts idea and then decided she didn’t want to do that so she…

It mentions planes...

This topic does not seem very Jalopniky. 

Oh boy I can’t wait until they take his family away from him (again) as a cheap and easy story arc that ends in his misery (again). How will they do it this time?

I sorta agree with you but its not clear that they were knowingly “speeding” or grinding the planks unduly.  In this case when the FIA discovered two competing cars out of four having the issue, they could have said whoa! we need to look at a few others. Pulls random team names from a hat, and says Teams x and y, stop…

The condition of that headliner alone is worth the $4k starting point of the price negotiation.

Evil -- let them fall in love with the doritomotor only to have their world collapse along with the apex seals or whatever it is that plagues any rotary that isn’t allowed to burn oil like a 2-stroke.

While updating this game is nice, it won’t have the same impact as the original trilogy. The competition isn’t the same as it was back then, they have all caught up and now Halo is just one of many FPS games. Regarding online, it is not going to break through when other games are already entrenched and available on…

Every single “prank” where someone breached a computing or network device without authorization was a federal crime. The crimes are videoed.

It’s a good price for what it is, bogus badging and questionable cosmetic mods notwithstanding... But it’s a terrible idea for anyone looking to replace a car on a $20,000 budget. You need to already have a semi-reliable car before you buy this thing.
