The problem is that being accused of ‘mansplaining’ is not defensible. For example:

> If you’re not familiar, the term refers to when someone (most often a man, thus mansplain) explains something to someone (typically a female) in a condescending or patronizing way.

I found this opener condescending and patronizing.…

Yeah and for people who are on a tight timeline that extra risk of it going to the wrong place or at least taking more time for it to get off the carousel rather than in your hands just isn’t worth it.

And I think that’s the problem, it’s ‘riskier’ to check a bag rather than to keep control of it assuming you can pack…

Category 5: “Biblical Damage”

I’m not even losing my hair and often wear a hat in the sun. I have fair skin and red hair but usually my haircut is quite short (~1/4in on the sides) meaning I can easily get sunburned through my hair.

I’ve been accused by people of ‘trying to hide being a ginger’ which is totally bizarre to me that someone would…

You have to get the feeling that anybody else out there working on a cell-shaded anime styled game has to look at this (and the previous Guilty Gear installations) and think, “Ah...FUCK!”

I mean I felt this way about Guilty Gear Xrd when it came out a while back but this is the gold standard for an anime-styled game. I…

I think the graphics are a larger issue. I found this back when they did a re-release of Perfect Dark where just adding nicer models and textures on top of N64 graphics produced some...odd results. Like haveing characters with detailed hands who don’t use them (because in Perfect Dark the only hand joint was the…

Fair enough. An officer simply getting fired over nearly killing someone would actually be it’s own kind of sad achievement.

> Hope the driver dies from his injuries along with every other asshole who doesn’t know how to use a turn signal.

Does that include the cop? How many times do you think he used his turn signal during his 9 lane changes? Shouldn’t you upgrade his sentence from “fired for breaking the law” to “executed for not using…

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…
