Not everything’s all sunshine and roses in the US. October/November still puts you ahead of me. My state’s saying November/December for the general population, so I’m expecting early 2022.

There’s nothing to learn. You’d need to make it so masks are the *only* variable, which is decidedly not the case.

Lots of long ongoing series in there - I think an introductory list like this would be better served with 1-2 cour shows that don’t require a huge time investment.

Glad to see they have a release date for PS5 games. Now, how about the hardware?

Using an optical drive emulator is going to result in faster load times. Seems to me like that should be just as invalidating as changing the ambient temperature.

I don’t want them to touch ME1. QoL improvements might be nice, but I’m too afraid they’ll use the opportunity to add ammo to the game.

There are some cross-save games that autopop like that, but it’s the exception rather than the rule in my experience. (Destiny 2 does it as well. Borderlands 2 will autopop some but not all, so I assume Borderlands 3 is similar.)

Unlike Xbox One/Series X, most games have separate PS4/PS5 trophy lists.

Now they squish the credits into the corner and show you the Nightline ad with video too.

These kinds of rules are meant for people who can’t or don’t control their expenses very well. “X times your annual expenses” isn’t a number they could come up with. “X times your salary” is.

That quote is talking about RAM, not the SSD.

Squad’s not who got fucked over; it’s Star Theory Games who got fucked over, by Take Two deciding to cancel the contract and hire away a bunch of the devs who had been working on the project instead.

I don’t get where you got “the cliffhangers... were only included for the benefit of the books and comics” from what I said. Your “more realistic thing” is what I was trying to suggest happened.

I expect that it was the other way around - the games chose to blow by those plot points, so the books and comics decided to pick up on them and flesh them out so they weren’t forgotten completely.

It will still be the best ID option for domestic air travel once the REAL ID requirements start in October 2021 (if they don’t get delayed again).

Mass Effect 2. I loved the original. Hated the way the second railroaded you into working for the bad guys.

It’s only about 178 inches long, which is over two feet shorter than the modern reincarnation of the Voyager, the Chrysler Pacifica.

I’m not using Kinect, so since the console is completely backwards compatible for me I might as well buy one at launch and try to flog my Xbox One X for as much as possible.

That’s 6-9 months of paying for warehouse storage space for the consoles, instead of getting income from selling them. That’s just going to put *more* people out of a job.

While you *can* do late HSA contributions, unlike IRAs there’s a significant advantage to contributing as you go via payroll deductions. You can get the federal income tax back via your income tax return, but you won’t get the Social Security/Medicare taxes back. Payroll contributions skip that 7.65% tax.
