Yay. Moon flu. I might as well just sell my car.

What’s with that joypad thing? Everyone knows the coolest Amiga kids had a Power Stick. :D
(I did not, but I wanted one)

Eye of the Beholder? That rip-off of Dungeon Master? :P
(seriously tho, how was that not a lawsuit?)

I’m happy I got my PS5 (PSDirect! Very nice service), but I didn’t really need it. I just get to play slightly better versions of PS4 games.
As for the Series S (no X for me yet), it’s... convenient. It was cheap, easy to get, and I’ve only played GamePass on it, and it’s a bit better than my launch XBone.
So yeah,…

This (and the 3rd) were so much more fun to play than the original XIII. I did feel bad they actually finished the game and added everything missing (towns, sidequests.. fun), and people were so turned off by XIII they didn’t play the game they wanted when SE finally made it.
Hell, just added Paradigm ‘decks’ improved…

Once again, if the Campaign was like $20, then this free-to-play pricing BS in MP might be palatable (sort of), but full price, and then this crap. This is Avengers all over again, except a notably better product...

Improve aging infrastructure? That’s commie talk, if I’m to understand modern politics correctly.

I’ll probably like it, but this doesn’t look like the thing I -wanted- him to make. but maybe it’s the thing I need him to make? 

Not a doctor, but like.. wouldn’t smoking be tracheal cancer? I know they’re side by side, but I thought esophageal cancer would be more like acid-reflux and the like (because I’m pretty scared about getting it) which, yeah, can be exacerbated by smoking (which I also quit decades ago except when I’m really drunk…

Rushed? After 6 years? Mistakes were definitely made, but rushing doesn’t really seem like the issue.

Getting through CV without tanking a hit while being chased by Mutated >redacteve< alone is impressive. I’ve seen videos of people managing it, but it seems highly risky.

Aww, I wish Ari wrote this article. I was looking forward to “How Cheating in Halo Infinite Is Actually Good and Justifies the Battle Pass Progression”
(I kid. I kid)
(70/30)

I find this a mixed blessing. On the one hand, you don’t need to finish it before you run out of time; on the other hand, you never truly move on. I guess we won’t know until next year, but I assume you can’t grind on old battlepasses, and the latest one simultaneously...

So how does the “open container of alcohol in the vehicle” work in this sex van? Just hope you don’t get pulled over? Does being in the back of the van count?
Or is this something that isn’t a thing, but I think it is because I saw it on a TV show?

You can say “halo’s not about all this stuff. It’s about the gameplay” but I used to get the campaign and MP complete for $50-$60 without microtransactions and battlepasses, so 343 made it about this stuff. They took away some stuff and charge us to get it back. I find it a bit like Squenix slowing down Avengers’ XP…

He’s clearly stockpiling them as a tacit confirmation that Sneak King VR is in development at Metaoculus. He’s going to be rich.

Hmm. I was googling Pokemon BDSM and ended up here. No one mentioned that acronym in the meetings? 

I really liked it. I heard there was a Best Ending of playing all the levels without taking any damage, but I never managed it.
Children of Eden was nice, but just didn’t match it.

“We didn’t force anyone to crunch, but anyone who wants their paycheck probably put some extra work into the game.”

I remember a producer telling me “No one has to crunch. You make your own choices. We just know people who are more committed to the project will want to work more...”
 Yeah... got it...

Kind of unrelated but can someone explain why bitcoin/blockchain are considered more secure/less traceable than normal financial transactions? From my limited understanding, the blockchain contains all the transactions the coin/crypto has gone through, so isn’t it more traceable? does the security exist because it’s…
