I liked clone wars and was glad to watch most of it while it was being released, but I missed Rebels’ original run and tried to binge it just to give me more context for the new shows and movies, and I just couldn’t do it. Both it and Clone Wars have so many episodes, and no matter how heavy some of the plot is,…

Were you filled with mellon collie and infinite sadness?

Grand Theft Autogyro

I have similar conflicting feelings. Far Cry 3 was a culmination of what I’d wanted from so many AAA games but didn’t get in one whole package (CoD didn’t do it, GTA was too open and vehicle based, Half Life was stuck in limbo) that I felt so satisfied playing it. It was like finally finding that Vegas buffet that had…

It looks like there’s a postprocessing effect that adds an oil-painting style that gives a brushstroke texture and blurs the edges of objects (you can see it in the planks on the bottom right, the new version clearly shows polygon edges for the individual planks, but in the old version you might’ve thought it was just…

Because that’s the whole gimmick of GOG... It’s the good old games you love, but no DRM: the idea being that old games don’t need to be so concerned about piracy since the game’s been out so long and they’ve already made most of their revenue, plus being DRM free assures gamers that their old ass game doesn’t require…

I think it’s half and half. I think he saw how much people WANTED him to host, and he at least liked the IDEA of being in demand, but he’s also savvy enough to know that he could try to squeeze Sony for a pretty big payout, and as the process went on Burton and Sony both realized there wasn’t gonna be enough money or…

Now is a terrible time to start a CD ladder, as rates are so low they offer barely (if any) advantage over a normal high yield savings account (and frankly those are so bad right now they’re barely better than checking accounts). If you put your money in a non-no-penalty CD, there’s a good chance you’ll be locked into…

How long since the last one? 12 years since Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, but that one was a prequel; 22 years since 1983's Return of the Jedi, to which it is the first proper sequel.

Again, if I’m renting for over a year, though, to me it IS a sunk cost. That’s money I can’t ever withdraw until I move out, so if I’m a broke 20-something that put down that security deposit along with my 1st and last month upon signing, I’m gonna continue to be out that money until I move out. To me it’s just not…

It’s definitely annoying, but the cost of my free time, especially when I’m in the process of moving out of one place and moving into another place, is often more valuable than the work of following up on the last remaining 100 dollars of the deposit (or, as I said, even the last $2,000 dollars). What you do is great,…

This sounds like the correct answer. I’m a really annoying gamer type where I still like my AAA games to look “realistic” and while I really appreciate good art direction in lieu of production value, I admit I had mildly written off NMS when it originally came out because it looked too cartoony to me.

It’s not a mistake, per se, but to me I think normal people shouldn’t be stressing out the security deposit, specifically spending a lot of time and/or money when moving out to get your entire deposit back.

I’m old and antisocial with a kid and I just wanna be able to jump into a game whenever I have 45 minutes, shoot some ships, feel a little progression, and not have to like, have real interactions with real people, and I certainly wouldn’t have any IRL friends that would join with me. Can I play “multiplayer” but just…

I get the complaints about this ongoing fiasco, but I’m still curious about what it would be like for a normal gamer to jump in, so my question is:

Equity only matters if you’re selling a house, or if you want to borrow against the house (and in the latter, it’s more about what the lender would appraise your house for minus your remaining mortgage balance).

They’d decided to reduce interaction distances in their game by half in the US and New Zealand right as the Covid Delta variant was causing deadly new spikes in both countries.

Yes God yes. I came to realize that Nadesico was my favorite anime series and a giant part of it is the integration of Gekigangar into the main plot. The animation and the music are so spot on perfect. It’s funny cause the animation in those sections are better than the animation on the show itself. It’s clear the…

When you put it that way it sounds pretty simple for a syrup. 

This type of look only ever looks in something that’s bohemian/rustic. Think some cottage, a Parisian loft, or the apartment from Friends. Otherwise just the sticky vapor/splatter from the kitchen is gonna coat everything, especially if your plates and glasses also weren’t super wiped and dry when you put them in there…
