It’s a pretty standard practice to use estimates from well known companies when talking about changes within their industry. Try to find an article about changes in soda consumption that doesn’t include the name of, or figures from, a major beverage producer.

Except that Tesla gave away their electric car patents because they know a win for electric cars in general is a win for them. Even Tesla doesn’t care about Tesla coming out on top, they just want to make sure there’s a sustainable demand they can meet a portion of.

Just yesterday I was driving around town and though, “I want an MMO where you start as a kid and eventually grow old and die.” Dreams really do come true.

That’s always frustrating. You have your heart set on a good project for the weekend but something wrecks it. You’re smart to just stick with the graphically simpler games to avoid reminding yourself what could have been.

Thank you for the simple, direct link to the YouTube page. The embedded player never works well for me, any computer, anywhere.

Okay, when did so many people start saying “I’m hype” instead of “I’m hyped”? That drives me crazy. I suppose I can just start doing that do other phrases as well, I’m excite to try it out. Don’t be surprise when I do.

My wife and I also saw them in that lineup, it was a good show and RBF was definitely the highlight.

Wait, you mean that if you don’t go out of your way to purposely watch footage of a game then you won’t have it spoiled for you?

I’ve been hearing about the game for some time now, but this write-up is the first thing that managed to get me interested in trying it.

I’ve had the same reaction. After using console commands in Skyrim I lost all motivation to play the game as intended. Once you’ve pulled back the curtain the illusion and suspension of disbelief are lost. Luckily I’d already played 80-some hours at that point, so I at least got my money’s worth, unlike your…

Don’t forget that “Joe” also abuses prescription drugs on weekends but because he has a prescription it’s okay.

It’s not just you. On any of my computers it runs like crap at any resolution and fails to buffer more than about a second ahead. I head to YouTube and it plays immediately at the highest resolution.

I understand the concept fine, but it’s not just some spontaneous act for most people but is instead revealed as part of a long chain, which introduces an element of guilt. The person who takes the paid-forward item and doesn’t reciprocate isn’t looked upon as a lucky individual, they are looked at as the jerk who…

It actually doesn’t make sense, I’ve had that conversation many times.

“Famously, these chains can go on for hours, as people become inspired by the generosity of others around them.”

“Despite the fact that it has an all-star cast, they all managed to give their worst performances in years, resulting in an epic film disaster.”

“It has an all-star cast”!

I’m so glad you exist. I figured I was the only one thinking this.

That was the most perfect sentence. My search is complete.

I think some players never discovered the full depth of what was possible in combat.
