What I'm seeing as the main problem for you isn't the gating itself, but the fact that you've already gotten past the gating on one platform and then it didn't transfer to the new one. I doubt most people begrudge those gates on their first playthrough, but it does seem pretty annoying if you have to do it another…

Maybe it's the poor man's Nintendogs! I can assure you it's the poor man's something.

Of course! Who doesn't want that domestic blockbuster Naughty Kitties!? I know I'll be in line!

My immediate assumption was that sbq1 was some sort of knuckle dragging MRA. Tim Schafer seems like a solid guy to me.

Good point, hugh-mon.

I generally use "Darmok and Jalad on the ocean" as a metaphor for "Do you want to come to my place?" I can assure you that this doesn't parse in China.

Nope, I'd take the High Life over Yeungling any day of the week.

4. Nearly boiling (Fucking China)

Yeah, that's what made me kind of scratch my head about the EULA debacle. Those servers were offering the kind of pay-to-win mechanics that everyone claims to hate (not that there is literal winning in Minecraft, but I don't think it's that much different). Paying for access to a server is completely reasonable…

You're getting some hate here, but I'm with you. I wouldn't mind seeing a Minecraft store open up that offers mods and texture packs for free or a price (as long as the mod/texture pack developer gets the option). There are some complexities there involving third-party servers, but I think those can all be overcome.

They bought an extremely valuable IP and the programmers who are most familiar with the codebase for $2.5 billion. Mojang also has a game called Scrolls, but I don't think it is really worth much of anything.

Especially if you imagine there's an Xbox One in the middle and those chains of people are all walking away from it.

Tipping is not considered an insult in China. In Japan, it sort of is. I don't generally tip at restaurants here (although I have from time to time and no one was displeased). I almost always tip taxi drivers and delivery people, and they're generally very happy about it. When you consider how little service industry…

Ground up rocks are also natural! And I'm not convinced they wouldn't make a pumpkin spice latte better.

Farmers Only! They get plenty specific!

Excellent. I had been thinking my diet was deficient in carbs.

Eh, close enough

That's not going to work as a polite way to block annoying friends. They'll follow up with "Why didn't you answer me!? Why are you ignoring me!?"

He could still be hiding in a cardboard box somewhere.

You seem to have forgotten one little game!
