Naw, it’s rich people’s math. She leveraged a million dollars. Poor people don’t have a million dollars.

I’ll go on record as saying I liked the Julia Stiles season, whichever that one was (I just know it was in the “bad” half). She and Dexter have a ton of chemistry, and I found it compelling to watch them work together and struggle with their own separate demons, while the romance was treated very patiently and left to…

I dozed off watching Winter Soldier in the theater. My wife and I recently did a release-order rewatch of the MCU movies, and I didn’t fall asleep but still found it dull. What’s worst is that I can’t give it much specific criticism, I just don’t find it memorable enough.

Gonna go out on a limb based on the responses here and infer that this is, in fact, not the world’s most popular game, which leads me to wonder: is this an ad or something? Is someone on the take here?

It’s gambling. That’s all. Just a shiny new crypto-bro take on plain old-fashioned gambling.

I’m just here to tell folks like me who may have skipped this show initially because of how dumb the trailer made it look: give it a shot, it’s worth watching. It doesn’t really succeed as a parody of the video game industry, but it’s a surprisingly good relationship sitcom with a bunch of interesting and fun…

I dunno, man. I am so inspired by Mel’s creative and comedy genius. But he’s such a product of his time. Obviously he prefers working to retirement so all the more power to him, but I wish he didn’t feel the need to keep gilding the lily (see: Spaceballs: The Animated Series).

This seems less of a complaint about Samus showing emotion, and more about Samus showing vulnerability. 

Better to buy back the old N64 cartridges I’m actually interested in at $10 a pop and boot them up on an emulator.

Thank you for spelling this out. I wasn’t aware of the entire context, but it was clear that someone, somewhere was pandering in a way that felt extremely low-rent.

I’m diabetic, and I laugh when Dave made a joke about Chris Christie when he got covid having all the things Covid finds delicious, including diabetes. But if he turned around after the joke and said he sides with groups that believe diabetics don’t deserve rights or freedoms because they are diabetic….well that’s the…

Most game studios have “base” QAs that are FTEs and then contract with external companies to handle the sheer load of it all. Those external vendors, of course, employ people however they choose (including hourly if they want) and aren’t subject to these sorts of decisions (or depending on where they’re located, even…

Believe me, if they had somehow hacked Cognito it would be a much bigger deal than this. Like I said, if you’re using Cognito you can use it to verify your users, but the process is opaque to you, you even with full administrative access you can’t get to access information like user passwords (encrypted or otherwise) …

The saddest part of this scam is that I didn’t come up with it

It’s very unlikely that Twitch stores its user login data anywhere near the same place they store things like the source code. Those are typically entirely separate systems. In fact there’s a very good chance they’re using Cognito to do logins, which is an AWS service to manage user logins and identities, in which…

I’ve never really understood the obsession with filtering and distorting the image to give it the same qualities of a crappy LCD screen or CRT. I like seeing the artwork with the kind of crisp definition that emulation provides, even when said art was tailored to specific hardware. Chacun à son goût, though.

“Garland. Jack Garland” may be one of the most unintentionally cringe things I’ve seen come out of Final Fantasy, and that includes Tidus laughing

You can change the difficulty level to “Easy”, you know! It’s worth it to experience the story, I’d say.

It’ll be good to see the series return to what it was always meant to be about: aliens that hide inside the skins of fat people and fart a lot

I haven’t played the demo but your description of the backstabbing mechanic sounds exactly like what Final Fantasy Tactics had in 1997.
