The comments are full of people literally saying “Do they expect me to buy this a third time for $70?” and the answer is... no. They expect someone else to do that. This is not for you.

Yeah, this is the key thing that pisses me off about this situation. Gamers (and Kotaku, apparently) are stuck in this frame of mind where everything is... you know, specifically for them.

Yeah, like much of the gushing about this thing, this piece is way overdone. The paddles aren’t particularly great in this, I do misclick them all the time (to the point of taking the time to unmap them manually sometimes) and nobody needs two more back buttons on modern controllers.

There may be a punchline in there somewhere. Right? Like, the guy has made movies before, this HAS to be on purpose.

Yes, I understand how hot things work. Believe it or not, I once saw a hot thing myself.

I like it, but I wish the masking tape feature was a bit more flexible or that the paint had more options than “fixed width airbrush tip”. Or, you know, a zoom in option or something.

Certainly. No question.

So ultimately it was easier to just give Mr Satan a new first name that wouldn’t tick off a very noisy subset of Americans

Well, Nintendo is giving people guidance not to use the Switch above 35ºC of room temperature. For a portable device that is pretty ridiculously low. The Switch isn’t even a passively cooled phone, it has a fan in it. It shouldn’t be shutting itself down on the average beach day.

Admittedly, it probably doesn’t. I’ve…

I mean, it won’t die down, but them having to remind you that if it shuts down they’re not treating it as if it was broken is... a thing.

We’re in a weird situation where things are tied to power limits because most computers being sold are portable form factors but Intel, AMD and Nvidia are trying to solve the slowing down of Moore’s Law by just pumping power through hardware.

Yes... that’s... that’s what I said.

Why are there two separate comments assuming my post was written from a US perspective despite it specifically saying that it isn’t?

I mean, I know it’s a meme, especially in the territories where the name was changed, but... it really wasn’t a big deal.

Good on Wawa and all the French and EU scene for this game. They’ve been consistently cool to watch during the online period despite the game’s crappy netcode and weird mismanagement of the last few months. I’ve mostly moved on to DNF myself, but it’s cool to see people still playing DBFZ and I hope both that the…

It feels like a superfluous qualifier to make, considering how bad the entire situation is, but it’s an extra bummer that this is easily my favorite AC game in ages.

Obviously no exposure from GDQ. The real issue is this was the first hybrid local and remote event and this dick basically just guaranteed that non-US runners who can’t travel won’t get to participate because now any streamed run is under suspicion.

I hate this angle. Governments can be trusted in well designed, functional democracies. “Don’t trust the government” is American for “we could fix this nonsensical mess, but we thought that having an unsupervised court with a lifetime appointment was a good idea and now we’re stuck with that choice.

Yeah, I know, I was there. I preordered MI 1 when it came out.

More to the point, anything on the garnish that survives is still going into you because you’re presumably drinking the cocktail. I mean, I’m not sure how the author of this thinks the garnish flavors the cocktail, but I’m pretty sure it involves dissolving the stuff on the granish into the water and alcohol of the…
