Yeah, pretty much the only games that made use of the haptic triggers were driving games and a few first party games. Which was a shame, because they were really good when utilized.

This is pretty common for filming production right now. The “on screen talent” doesn’t wear masks while filming, but does while they are not, in order to minimize risk to the crew. The crew wears masks the whole time.

Oof. Those crops are certainly trying their best, but they’re all subjectively worse, from a composition standpoint, than the original artwork.

The lack of splintering, I imagine, is the only actual upside, which might matter for certain applications where strength to weight can be compromised a little in order to avoid splinters puncturing a tire. The front splitter in an open wheel race car, for example. It’s low to the ground already, so the added mass…

And if he only has wound up camping for 10 days in one year, decides he’s done, and is renting, he spent $1,000 dollars. On a 5-year loan for a $10,000 car he will have spent more than $1,000 (if for nothing else than a down payment), and now has to hope he gets $9,000 back, which, maybe, but maybe not. And that’s…

I mean, ok, but it still depends on how often you’re actually doing these things. $100/day gets you 100 days of traveling before you hit $10k. And that ignores the other costs of actually owning a car, like parking (in NYC, that’s probably 4/5 days worth of renting a month, minimum), insurance (which is much more…

Sort of?

Oh for sure. They’re just notoriously agressive about it.

The sequence from Black Lagoon 2 where they go to Japan and you find out that in reality they’ve all been speaking english the whole time, it’s just been translated to Japanese for the viewer’s understanding, is one of the most hilarious moments like that I can think of in an anime.

I assume it plays like the original version.

Nintendo is particularly aggressive about going after anyone or anything remotely adult-entertainment skewed that comes anywhere near Pokemon, in particular.

I mean it’s basically a Crepe, just thicker. Crepes are a stable of street food sweets, so, I don’t know if I’d exactly call it lazy.

Rationalizing an expenditure is literally the point of spending money on anything that isn’t a base requirement for existing. So yes, obviously, that’s what they are doing. If you have limited dollars to spend on enjoyment, you want to invest those limited dollars in something that will return maximal enjoyment,…

You know, I’ve always wondered why stores don’t solve this problem the easiest way: just allow backorder. Put your name on a list, get your card in FIFO order with everyone else that put their name on the list. People knowing a card will show up eventually would nuke the vast majority of demand on the secondary…

Eh. Certainly, no one should be expecting to invest in cars in the “I will make money of this” sense of the word. But if your expected return is “enjoyment/functionality” instead of money, then I’d argue the term still applies. You’re investing your limited dollars and expect to get maximal return of…

Yeah, this is my feeling of what “should” be correct. As outlined in the article, the tattoos are an inextricable part of his likeness. Short of a contract he signed with the artist stating otherwise, then it’s probably safe to assume that fair use would apply for reproducing the person’s _likeness_. But extracting…

You don’t get this many stories of similar interaction patterns without the majority of them being true. I’ve worked with managers that fit the bill of interactions outlined in this article and the linked reporting. They weren’t monsters. They were just really, really bad managers that had no business being in charge…

Of course. I was simply stating that it’s something of a leap, given his long tenure at the company, to assume that he quit because there was something even worse being covered up. I’m sure there were many dozens of bad interactions similar to the stories that have come to light that were never reported.

Alternatively: 48-year-old has been working at a company since he was 18, has more money than he needs to live comfortably for the rest of his life, so quits rather than deal with the consequences of/requirements to change his behavior that he probably doesn’t believe was wrong. I mean, almost certainly the stories…

That’s true for a lot of them now, but certainly wasn’t true when they got their Creator status.
