I looveeeeed the explanation (which makes perfect sense) of why they can’t just reload Nostalrius. And I find it a little disingenuous that the Nostalrius folks don’t seem to have been very honest or upfront about how much reverse engineering they did.... they just let the internet wage war on Blizzard. Doesn’t seem…

This is what I expect. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to continue manufacturing the old models once you’ve got the new fabrication up and running. Why run them in parallel? Demand for the old one isn’t likely to be very high unless it’s substantially (like, 30-50% cheaper). Add in a significant secondary market from…

Honestly, even if Sony authorized that, why would any sensible dev do that? The kind of money you have to invest to make a game of high enough quality to benefit from the 4.5, you almost certainly want the widest possible audience you can get so as to recoup your costs (and then make your profits).

I don't even think I accept the predicate claim. Happy go lucky people don't come upon unconscious women and think hmm, I'm gonna take that for myself. Violent assholes or psychopaths do.

Can you imagine if this guy’s career had coincided with the rise of hip hop?

I love video games. I really do. But I play very, very few of them, and that’s largely because I cannot stand gamers. The hyperbolic toxicity of gaming culture over the last decade or so has gotten awful.

“It takes no ability or skill at all, only the willpower to lace up your shoes and get off the couch.”

Says on content platform created by “kids who play video games.”

Honestly, I think that’s why a lot of the recent trend of reboots has been so successful. When you don’t feel like you have to tell the WHOLE backstory to the audience (with some expectation that you can skim it because it is socially known), you can actually write a good movie.

I mean... the story is sadder. Martin took the piles of cash HBO offered him for the show rights and to help make the show (he’s been heavily involved from the beginning) and now doesn’t seem to have the time or focus to finish his writing. He didn’t “have” to watch it happen on HBO; he took the money and handed his…

Bernie and his team wanted—nay, demanded, like it was somehow deserved—the support of a massive political entity that he has, for 26 years, refused to be a part of. He spent a quarter of a century telling the Democratic party to fuck off, and now when he wanted their help and support, no surprise, he didn’t get it.…

I took a class taught by Ralph Nader once, largely because I was intrigued by his rising irrelevancy after 2000. Holy SHIT does he get surly when anyone suggests that Bush was his fault... good lord it was super uncomfortable. Felt like calling out your racist grandfather for continuing to behave like it’s…

Bautista was already one of my favorite opposing players, and now I know he can take a punch like a champ? That one caught him cold and he barely stumbled.

I mean, I have absolutely no problem with both games existing, but ever since the concept of “progression” became a core of lots of different types of games I’ve been a fan. I don’t like endless sameness. I have absolutely no beef with anyone who does. But I don’t play single player games to be competitive; I play…

I always liked the level-by-level progression style of it. Which it sounds like PopCap has adopted in some ways, so we’ll see! Installing now

Seems like a mild coincidence that, just a couple of weeks ago, Chris Sacca proclaimed out of nowhere that Cuban was likely to run—and win—in one of the next two cycles.

The Aukey definitely looks good and I wouldn’t blame anyone for paying for that or for buying from a manufacturer they know, but I bought this functionally identical Soundbot kit a few months ago and have been absolutely thrilled with it:

Do it both ways if you want maximum extraction. First the way pictured to get the bulk of it, then flip the husk over and press it the way you’ve been doing (you’ll have to do this sideways, because the rind will block the holes on the bottom of the extraction) if you want the last bit of juice.

2 Fast 2 Furious has the best title in the history of unintentional comedy. To this day I still have friends who refer to each iteration of the franchise as such, and I continue to hope and pray that the next one will be named 8 Fast 8 Furious.

Not to mention the obvious reality that a non-zero number of those legacy demanders are non-subscribers. If you don’t play the current game because you preferred the old game, more power to you, but an even smaller fraction of the paying player base wants it than such a petition reports.
