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”.

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.

I don’t agree with OP but I’d also say that newer games should be held more strictly against games that didn't have constant updates and ability to communicate as easily to their customers.

Hmm, subjective list, but it has to contend with:

I’m a Level 23 Blacksmith, so I don’t need one. I did all the side quests.

I will be linking to this article (and the previous one) for my students during the fall semester when I cover the subject of plagiarism.

I know just the right hand of the first part of Fur Elise. It’s enough that if I’m at a party of something and there is a piano out, I can play it, then when people say “I didn’t know you play the piano!” just shrug and say “I dabble,” then walk away leaving them wondering.

Ah man, so that vague patent photo about some manner of car that I’d never be able to afford anyways and could only ever hope to appreciate on screen has been turned into a vague video game photo about some manner of digital car that I’ll never have enough CR to afford and will only be able to appreciate it on another …

Will you recommend my comment I made below, I want to get it out of the grey, $40 is a crazy price...

anyway use SHAREit, which is free. I transfer files between my android phone and ipad all the time with this. I assume I can transfer vice versa as well... Also Pushbullet worked really bad for me too....

Totally works! I just sent mine ahead 10 years and I got a trailer for Half Life 3!!!
