As far as the ruling goes you should check out this longer article which has a few of the key arguments the prosecution used. Namely that while he was actively trying to recant on his suicide attempt she texted him “get back in” and earlier “You can’t think about it. You just have to do it. You said you were gonna do…

Funny thing is that in the original art for the seal it is actually clearer that they’re wrestling. I mean, I leave discussions of the core idea ‘white dude beating an indian at wrestling’ to others but I mean...if you’re going to do it then at least draw it better.

At least in the old art there was a somewhat of a…

There were a few times when I worked in games where PVP was pitched as a means of avoiding a complex AI system. And there’s a validity to the idea that if you’re just trying to get playtest data, having another player on another local machine can give both players a better experience than a cobbled together AI.

The…

I’m absolutely baffled that a company would put themselves in a position where unfucking a kickstarter is their job.

Which means Little Orbit is getting money to do this.

So my question is...where is that money coming from? After three years how much of that initial funding is already gone? Who out there is willing to…

I bought a set of four of those colored flexible cutting boards...then I cut all of them in half because one, it made them a better fit in the dishwasher and two, because I hardly ever needed the whole space anyways.

Plus them being flexible makes it easy to use them as funnels for whatever you just chopped up. You…

I keep a small thermometer in my office here in Southern California, if only to have a factual basis for when I complain about my office being hot. Currently 83 degrees in here.

So the question is not whether shorts are unprofessional or not because they aren’t; I know that. The question is how sweaty and…

The Coke Zero play was very clever because I know Coke Zero is consumed much more commonly by younger men. I think I have heard “I spilled Coke Zero on my keyboard” as often as any other brand of soda (particularly more than diet Coke).

What is smarter is that even though they were clearly going for this “non-girly”…

And I think that’s the way Blizzard wants to go. It’s a much more proven and expansive model so I can see why.

With these larger 1000+ piece puzzles a lot of people are looking for the challenge that a large one-color area provides.

The company that makes this also makes a Beatles White Album puzzle, I’ve heard it’s one of their best sellers

The thing I’m curious about in the future is how this model will compare with the ‘sports team’ model that people like Blizzard are pushing. Where advertising revenue is going to be the primary source of player salaries rather than prize packages.

Not a monster per-se but as someone who has cut up mousepads/playmats before the thing to keep in mind is that if there’s a cloth cover it may fray/tatter and depending on the foam material it my get kinda crumbly.

Don’t know if either of those issues would apply to this specific mat but lint and crumblies are not…

Police try to stop them: people get hurt

I think you could make a decent case for that. You could reason he’s all about upholding the law but isn’t honestly that concerned whether the law is right or wrong. So he’s a law officer in a corrupt (arguably evil) system but he’s closer to just a man doing his job.

In an ‘evil’ system he’s evil but in a ‘good’…

That’s a great character example. I think most people would think of him as ‘lawful evil’ and be totally incorrect because Javert of course believes what he is doing is right.

The DM of my current game asked (softly) for no evil characters because he said that everyone’s character should be at least good/neutral in…

And what’s great about that personal belief as a basis is that it puts him on differing sides of “good” relative to the rest of the world.

Compared to grave-robbing Nazi’s he’s a goddamned hero. To native peoples and cultures he’s a bloody thief.

I think when people play Lawful Good they’re obsessed with being the…

If any airline out there starts letting people who don’t use the overhead storage exit the plane first then I’ll be a lifelong customer.

Nope nope nope.

Yeah I think how a store deals with their 20's is the biggest factor here. If you have several in the till then honestly it’s no big deal and it’s not like 20's are uncommon to receive so usually you have them.

“Hey boss, check out my concept for a new android fighter!”
“Does it use shock absorbers? Because we’re kinda tied to that narrative now.”
“Does it ever!”

I mean, it’s artists making art so it’s very ok to just say, “I thought it looked cool/fun/sexy/etc”

I always hate when someone adds these weird narrative loopholes to justify something that was just aesthetic. Metalgear is a big offender. Really you had to give Quiet sexy clothes because the of her “story”?? You…
