yep, cavalry is an effective method for dealing with folks just running around. even when equipped with like pikes and shit that is specifically anti cavalry, you are still basically facing down a VERY heavy creature barreling at you at high speeds with essentially a pointy stick. And on top of that, people important…

Simple solution that I had to teach too many parents. Don’t attach a credit card to any account. When your kid wants something just buy a digital gift card/game and e-mail it to them or input it yourself. Problem solved. If your kid is stealing your cards and using them no corporation can raise them for you.

The reaction of Arizona drivers to rain is all over the place. I remember one summer when I was home from college driving east in the rain along the 10 in Phoenix at 35 mph because if I went any faster my front wheels started to hydroplane (not good with a FWD car), and some idiot goes booming past me in the fast lane…

ALL DRIVERS from EVERY STATE have been getting noticeably worse in the last few years. People are driving faster, more erratically, less turn signals, keeping smaller distances between the cars in front of them, hogging the left lane, staying in the right lane at on ramps, weaving between lanes, can’t stay in their…

“cascading failure” thank you i could have just said this and saved myself 600 words.

Ah yes. The classic Cascading Failure. A thing that goes catastrophically wrong, causally linked to an endless chain of other Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong that all set off Even More Things That Go Catastrophically Wrong. Like a circular row of dominos, except each domino is an open oil drum filled with…

Here’s a tip: in order to settle out of court you have to threaten to take someone to court, first.

Who wants to play an online game where a bunch of a-holes cheat and make the game unplayable for everyone else.

Picture # 2 captures that tense moment of waiting on the results of the paternity test.

Totally. I'd love to get one for my series s, but if i wanted that i should have gotten a series x in the first place. While I fully maintain that the average consumer will not bother with the extra drives on either system, Microsoft's option has the edge right now in what I'm calling gift-ability. In that a…

Most people arent going to buy these drives period. Your average consumer will not be interested in either expansion options from Microsoft or Sony.

I would take Sony’s NVME solution over Microsoft, but I am also a tech enthusiast so this all sounds basic and rudimentary to me. Microsoft’s solution is obviously far easier, but it does not offer the performance that Sony’s does.

There are strengths and weaknesses to both of them.  I opted into the beta so hopefully…

It’s pretty simple once you just get past the alphabet soup nature of their explanation. I would assume that they’d come out with more basic instructions once this is widely available, as I’m sure most of those in the beta program are savvy enough to easily install an M.2 NVMe drive.

Nah.

Imagine having such a kotaku hate boner that you have to find a way to contort it in such a way that Amazon uses your own dick to fuck you from behind.

But won't someone think about the corporations?!?!

As a dev working working some hardcore end-game Raid content for a famous shooter-looter a few years ago I added a door with a button that looked like a riddle to get access to some loot. The button was just connected to a “change button to a random color” and I duplicated the setup right a little further  this time…

Look, I’m no fool.  TWO nothings, or I walk.

In Brazil, we have this:
