For me, too. I love Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm but I really hate listening to creatives talk about their lives and/or their art, especially obscenely wealthy creatives.

Square Enix in particular seems to discount their games quickly. Ubisoft is another publisher that gives up early on full prices. 2K does as well, but it's usually because of expansion packs.

Crystal Dynamics is owned by Eidos...which is owned by Square Enix.

I hear you. Consider my post expansion rather than correction. :)

Not only is the song “from a different time” but it was ostentatiously a joke. Had this Tekken dummy composed a whole catchy song instead of invoking human rights and painful, pointless surgery she would probably be in better PR shape

You’re not entitled to Nintendo’s games.

We’re not talking about a fly-by-night game developer here. We’re talking about Nintendo. There is zero evidence that they’re leaving their games and legacy hardware/code to rot. In fact, they’ve shown time and time again that they’re preserving their games just fine. Even their Game and Watch garbage has been revived…

Fiction. Preservation does not require emulation. Besides, emulations of old game systems do exist.

What makes you imply that toys aren’t art and thus just as worthy of preservation?

I don’t even show my receipt to employees as I’m leaving one of the shitty stores that wants every customer to feel like a criminal. I get away with it because I’m 6'3", 300+ pounds, and, of course, white. A friend of mine who was Filipino called me on that shit years ago...”I’d never get away with that.” Given his…

Did you really read the story? While I offered the possibility of stupidity in other posts, the truth is that this was a scam. The book was bought for over $3 million, the guy and his group asked people to buy $6 million of their “spice tokens” to pay for the book plus money to make an animated feature (apparently a…

I’m aware. The people who “own” the book are still crypto nerds who have decided the book is worth over $3 million because... something something digital, something something xxxxxx???

As above, it’s possible the bidding was rigged to overvalue the item. The other possibility is that an idiot with $3 million thought he had a brilliant plan and simply bid that amount. No other bidders needed to be involved except insofar as they said “too rich for my blood” and didn’t bid.

What these morons don’t realize is that there are physical objects whose primary value can’t be transferred from the physical world to the digital one. A first edition of a Dickens novel is only valuable in its physical being and how much a collector is willing to pay to have it. An NFT representation of it would be…

They’re crypto experts, not Google experts.

Yes, you might as well do that. Today. At a food truck near me. Thank you.

It was already in the thinnest of cardboard. Their packaging waste argument is bullshit and always was. They don’t want to make it because it’s inconvenient, using flour shells not shared in any other items and requiring an extra heating step after assembly. Remember their XL grilled burritos? They were tossed for the…

Baja Blast is a great substitute for lemon-lime as a "lighter" soda. Sweet Lightning is delicious enough that you can taste every calorie.

It’s sloppy writing. The product is priced higher than other nuggets elsewhere but in line with the rest of KFC’s menu, which is to my mind pretty expensive. I get better fried chicken at Safeway/Albertsons for less money. More meat (KFC seems to use much smaller fryers) and less breading, still tasty and indulgent.
