Winged humanoids with their wings rooted in the lower back (rather than the shoulders) aren’t all that rare. The Legacy of Kain and Darkstalkers are some good examples, off the top of my head.

It also arguably makes better anatomical sense, as your lower back (below the ribcage and above the pelvis) has a lot of space…

Seriously! You’d think the badass lady in flying power armor wouldn’t be so short-changed, but Pharah gets so little in terms of skins. 

“Make extra food because they want to eat,” can refer to either a group or an individual. English is a highly contextual language. This is not a new development of the language, “they” can be used in place of “he” or “she.”

You are [horribly] misinformed. The English language doesn’t really have a gender-neutral pronoun identifier, like some other languages do. That said, “they” and “them” has been used as an approximation of a non-gendered identifier for hundreds of years. As in, if you are called to point out a specific person in a…

I get you on the watching some intros. There are some that are just the right combo of good and quick that I could totally watch them every time. Or, at least, several times, maybe not a whole 26-episode season.

But I also get the impression that we who enjoy the intro credits, are in the minority. Most people tend to…

Pretty sure it’s becoming(?) the default because most people binge the shows on Netflix in multi-hour chunks, rather than watching one episode and then stopping or going to something else.

That said, it’s not the default for everything, yet. And the obvious solution is just to put an option in your settings so you can…

Yeah. I mean, I’m the sort of person loves some good intro credits, but having an intro pop up ever 20-50 minutes gets annoying fast. The skip button is one of the best additions to the service.

And I imagine it’s become something of the default because most people binge the shows on Netflix, watching episodes in…

Retailers (be they physical or virtual) don’t just work for clouds and smiles. You (the customer) might pay $5 for something, but that doesn’t mean the company that made it gets $5 from that purchase. The retailer pays a lower cost to stock and sell the items.

In this case, it’s reasonable to assume that the $3.50 is…

Honestly it’s much harder to build an entirely new game than it is to remake/remaster an old title. Of course, the latter is still a lot of work and there are several such projects that are fantastic.

But even a ‘spiritual successor,’ wherein you’re likely “borrowing” or blatantly homaging the lore, you still have to…

You don’t have to ‘slam’ or ‘hammer’ the keys on a mechanical board. At least on all the types of switches I’ve used, you don’t need to press the keys ALL THE WAY DOWN for it to register.

If a mechanical keyboard is giving you actual physical pain when you use it (and a membrane isn’t), it’s likely that you’re not situating yourself or the board properly. Say, for example, not taking the height difference between a flat-keyed membrane keyboard and a usually quite tall mechanical keyboard into account.

Or…

I’ve found it’s best— for the sake of not becoming repetitious— to use various kind of breaks in longer sentences (like hyphen breaks, parenthesis, and semi-colons); it keeps you from sounding like a crazy person: going between talking aloud and in your head.

No one would pronounce jpeg as “jfeg,” because it would no longer match the acronym. It’s kind of the same for the U in SCUBA, if people used the U like in underwater, many would pair it with the B, but they would still phonetically pair the B with the A, creating a spoken “SCUBBA,” which again doesn’t match the…

Here’s the thing about this, admittedly valid, point. You generally shift the pronunciation of a spoken acronym to make it easier to say or read. For example, no one would logically look at “jpeg” and think to pronounce the P as an “F” like in Photo.

This does not apply to gif. Gif, with a hard G, makes perfect…

A younger person or someone whole only plays the major Mario games, sure. But in addition to older gamers, anyone who’s played the Mario vs DK series is going to know who she is.

Actually, while the original Donkey Kong is Cranky, apparently the current DK is his grandson. Cranky’s son, and DK’s father, was, confusingly, Donkey Kong Jr.

People always talk about the swinging, and yes, it did that right. But... did it do anything else “right” or great? Because as far as I remember, the webswinging was all it had going for it. So, that was cool, but outside of that it was mediocre at best, I think.

Yes! The Sub Zeroes! That was so weird. Also a couple of the other dancers seemed to have game-inspired costumes.

The “fake gamer banter” is some of the worst, along with the pointless celebrity moments. You know, where they bring out some actor or sportsball player to stand there awkwardly for a minute or two.

Oh, but now we’ve add the “let’s interview some youtubers for a few mintues” thing. Which is also terrible.

I mean, we’ve…
