Fallout 4’s horrendous PC performance issues were my biggest disappointment, as a long-time Bethesda fan (probably the only dev whose games I still make a point of buying at launch). I got Fallout 4 and it was barely playable on my old PC. I wasn’t surprised, I knew it was getting old enough that one of these days I…

I’m just so sick of the Forerunners/Precursors/Ancients/Whatever trope. Is it just me or does every single modern big-budget sci fi game employ this story element? It’s so lazy.

Well that gets to another aspect of this. If Simmons is right about ESPN claiming that podcasts can’t make money, when top podcasts like the BS Report could pull in millions in ad revenue alone, that goes a long way toward explaining why it wasn’t profitable: they failed to properly monetize the content.

He made more stylish versions of existing products, which apparently passes for genius these days.

Your loss, there was a lot of excellent writing on there. You seem to consider your avoiding said good writing as some kind of accomplishment, which seems odd to me.

It always seemed like a sop to Simmons, who was probably threatening to leave and start his own site if they didn’t give him one. There was always a tension between Grantland’s attempt to provide good writing and analysis, and ESPN’s attempt to provide viewers with many hours of crotchety old guys yelling idiotic…

I also think there’s some sour grapes (see: Holly Anderson’s twitter feed) on the part of Grantlanders who Simmons didn’t try to hire away...

I don’t understand Holly’s viewpoint. Did she really think ESPN would keep Grantland around long-term were Simmons not talking to Miller, or hiring away editors? That is straight-up delusional... The writing was on the wall for Grantland when Simmons was canned.

He hired away some of his old hires, giving ESPN a pretext to close the whole thing? It’s a very flimsy criticism, imo, but there are tons of vehement Simmons haters out there grasping for straws. Instead of looking at this and coming to the logical conclusion, that ESPN is a terrible company, they try to spin at as…

Yep, had my WD passport for about 5 years now, not a single issue during that time.

lol @ anyone taking health advice from the WHO. The WHO is a completely politicized body with a Malthusian worldview that does not know the meaning of intellectual honestly. If anything this study should make you question whether red and processed meat is even as bad for you as previously thought...

zoloft and prozac are way overprescribed. They were good for their time but are quite outdated and the notion of using them as first-line treatments because of their longer track record, rather than going straight to a more modern, more sophisticated antidepressant (which, mind you, were generally developed to address…

this isn't even online, but single-player. I was playing Stainless Steel, a mod for Medieval 2 Total War (on Very Hard, of course). I was the Byzantines and had managed to reconquer most of the old Easter Roman Empire, when the mongols showed up with their doomstacks. They drove me back from the borders of Persia to…

i think the real question is whether Elisha Cuthbert was involved.

Sure looks like the Ravens are really trying to give the Colts a run for their money as the kings of sour grapes and being sore losers.

feel like shit, relative to how you feel when you're not cutting weight. Maybe it's just me, but i notice the following effects on even a 500 cal deficit:

I play pc games on the couch all the time, hundreds and hundreds of hours. I keep the keyboard on my lap and i put a small stack of coffee table books with a mousepad on top to my right. Works perfectly.

#5: you WILL feel like shit while losing the weight. Your body doesn't like being in a caloric deficit, since, you know, that's basically the definition of starvation. You're essentially forcing yourself to undergo controlled starvation... your body will begin to redustribute resources away from things like "making…

it looks to me like a classic bait-and-switch. Molyneux wanted to cash in on a mobile game, because he saw how much money those were bringing in. he didn't have the capital to go ahead and develop one, though, so he made a kickstarter for a PC version of the game, banking on his reputation, then took that money and…
