Similarly one of the things I was taught is that in an emergency such as a coworker having a heart attack, you want to designate someone (or multiple someones) to flag down the EMTs on the street or in the parking lot and escort them inside.

The last thing you want is for the EMTs to be banging at your keycard-locked…

It really bugged me in Fates how they made it so that the (previously) better weapons now just had weird downsides. “Oh, silver swords now slowly reduce your Str the more you use them!”

Because in previous versions silver swords were just...better than steel. And steel was better than iron. They wear out faster and…

They were out of Ode of Boy Butt

short for ‘ectoplasm’ clearly

“WESTERN PLEASURE: Jason’s Horse Secrets”

(western pleasure is a type of horseriding which I only know about because it sounds filthy)

The real money is in selling stuff to “Real Nerds” under the pretense that they’ll become “Cool Nerds”!

So yeah, any shopping list that they can look at and say, “Oh, I already own that” is a bit of a waste.

Yeah that’s the head-scratcher for me. I understand why a comment like this would get you uninvited from a speaking event.

But how did all of the other random shit not *also* get him uninvited before? It’s like, “Yo, if you’re going to draw a line why did you wait so long?”

There’s a great short podcast by NPR talking about Salmon sushi.

Basically up until 30 years ago the Japanese would absolutely NOT eat salmon. Part of that is just cultural but the salmon in Japan lives in much warmer water so parasites are more common.

But that’s not a problem in Norway! The reason we have salmon…

The way I see it the Switch could bring everything that’s great about the 3DS (my favorite hardware of this gen) into the console market. Or it could bring everything that was terrible about the WiiU.

So...what you’re saying is that you should just go to Korean BBQ? As long as you bring your own bread that is, they usually don’t have that.

A nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat!

I love my Astro A40's (https://www.amazon.com/ASTRO-Gaming-A40-TR-Headset-Black/dp/B014LH5LH4?th=1) because they are a good mix for the ‘working gamer’; i.e. someone who will be wearing their headphones for music 90% of the time but wants the same headset for gaming in the remaining 10%. Big features:

Yeah he’s pretty much going this direction:

Biggest thing I’ve found is that your age bracket, your location in the country, and your app of choice are the biggest variables. To the point that one persons experience with an app may be totally unrelated to what you’ll find just because they are 3 years younger and in a different city.

Assuming you aren’t moving,…

Sorry, I guess I should say faux apathy. Remember you’re not even pretending to care, you’re actually wasting your time pretending NOT to care.

Stymie99, you truly are changing the world with your faux outrage.

Read your comment but replace “Insomniac employees” with your name. You’ll find your own comment shuts you down quite nicely.

“...now get back to work.”

When I worked in games they would often quote stats at us about how few players actually finish games. It was something like 70% of player’s wouldn’t ever see the final level of a game.

Now keep in mind that was a stat that was thrown at us in 2012 or so. And it did always bug me that nobody knew if it controlled for…
