Now, give me the reverse. The decreased price point for a Switch that lacks a portable mode.

It is weird that in my lifetime nerds have gone though this whole tragic arc in the cultural zeitgeist, from picked-on underdogs, to powerful tech gurus and tastemakers, to amoral, sniveling Nazis, incels, and proud boys.

I scrolled too fast, at first I read the header as “how to liven up a funeral”.

The full honeycomb jackass brothel joke:

I agree that this is fairly innocuous in and of itself...but taken in the broader context of how flagrantly Facebook—and by extension, Oculus —disregard the privacy of their customers or sell their information, hidden messages like “This Space For Rent” and “Big Brother is Watching” are utterly breathtaking in how…

I’m glad I can get my daily dose of schadenfreude from this disaster given the coverage of Fallout 76 had evaporated alongside its playerbase.

The Mummy is such a great movie! Whenever it is on tv, I watch it till the end. An absolutely fantastic ride from start to finish!
