Carpal tunnel from playing too many Mouse/Keyboard FPS:s growing up. Also, kids and a life means I no longer have three days of free time to spend on every game before even playing, just to make sure every single setting is maxed out, and then spending half that playing the damn thing. Same reason I’ve got an iPhone…

My PS4 used to sound like a small jet engine... so I opened it and cleaned out the dust that had accumulated around the heat sink, and put new conductive paste on the processor. It’s now so quiet I can’t even hear it during RDR2. Wasn’t hard. Took 30 minutes, tops.

Every single thing in this review is 100% percent correct. But also, that’s what I was expecting going in... and i kinda enjoyed myself. 

Ghosts of Tsushima  is better than Sekiro? Ok...

Strong disagree. All the games from that era, especially the Sega ones, were inferior versions of the Arcade-originals - ones we’d play on the Astro or Blast City in arcades. If you’re talking Dreamcast-era, that was just the home version of the arcade’s Naomi, which wasn’t available on the Astro City (without…

I’m gonna add to the warning about artificial sugars, and not just maltitol; for years I consumed mostly “zero” products, and when I did keto (which is called lfhc here in Sweden) I also scarfed a lot of low-carb snacks, like protein bars with artificial sweeteners including Stevia. The problem is that while perfectly…

Well, considering how the Vikings were collecting thralls from all over, had numerous contacts with Africans (whom they called “Blue men”), and it was fairly common for skilled thralls to be given their freedom upon their owner’s death, it is almost certain that there were, at some point, some black Vikings. There’s…

Uh, the Vita is way too far down. I still play mine - it’s the best place to play most of the indies released the last 10 years, including Spelunky, Binding of Isaac, Hotline Miami, Shovel Knight, etcetcetc. All that, and a few rollicking exclusives like an honest-to-god Uncharted game that was actually very very…

Not really. That’s kind of a “letting perfect be the enemy of good”-argument, similar to when Vegans (to be fair, only the 19-year-old reddit ones)tell me I’m still a murderer since I still eat meat if i feel like it.

OK Boomer

Nah, that’s exactly the kind of prejudiced thinking from non-vegetarians/vegans that mean most hamburger chains, when making something for “the vegans”, have historically opted for something “healthy”, full of greens, nutritious and about as tasty as cardboard. But nowadays most people who do some version of…

The only good type of black licorice, salty licorice, is even more dangerous; it can literally cause paralysis. You need to eat a LOT, but it’s happened to a few people here in Sweden.

I tried the PvP in the open Beta, and so far it’s a not-quite-as-good version of Ghost War from Wildlands, though i expect that to change (Wildlands’ Ghost War wasn’t the sublime squad-based experience it is now at launch either - in fact it didn’t even ship with the game).

There’s been a fair few theories suggesting Flagg and IT are related; they’re definitely from the same level of the Tower.

Way back when I played WoW I had two tricks for equipment: The first was that the crafting kits were basically huge bags. Just don’t press the craft button (yes, this happened once). I’d only use it for the cheap stuff, but it made my life so much easier. Especially in the bank vault, it would multiply the space I…

Uh, isn’t this the whole point of these meat substitutes in the first place? The ethical vegans and vegetarians don’t want meat; my wife can’t stand anything too meat-like. Beyond Burger and all the others are for people like me; someone who really likes meat, but would also be really happy to not eat meat. This has…

Sandra Oh is also one of the two headliners in “Killing Eve”, one of the buzziest shows around right now.

I read it was the first thing. It makes sense in a mercenary way - you can cancel something and claim it was a disaster not of your making and that it’s better to take the hit now; or risk a hit that also wasn’t of your making, taking years of resources away from projects that WOULD be yours to take credit for.

Hang on, you’re both operating on a false premise;

...except that one of the things that keep recurring in tales from people who’ve been in war-zones and starving as their most traumatizing memory is how they would start salivating at the smell of burning bodies. So saying they “shouldn’t get hunger-pangs from watching someone eat bacon” is just stupid.
