I agree.

That, or they’re looking at it the way penny auction sites look at things. They get a fixed transaction fee every time a sale is made/bid is placed. Every individual bid in a penny auction only raises the price of the item to the final buyer by a cent, but you have to pay a dollar every time you want to make a bid,…

So... the giant wiper blade just perpetually compacts snow/ice onto the bottom of the windshield with no clear place for it to go until the pack ice created eventually prevents the blade from functioning at all?

I feel like the trouble with adapting Constantine and really making the character feel ‘right’ is that he exists in a very specific niche of the DC Universe, right on the tipping point into their traditionally edgier Vertigo fare, and you have to have some of the grime and seedy-ness there to make him feel right.

Thank you, this would have been tremendously helpful.

I thought something about the Bene Geserit, of which Jessica was one of the most powerful, also allowed them to age slower. So she’d have always looked at least a few years younger than she really was as a character.

On top of it all, there is a special irony in the fact that a company that has made an absolute art of tax avoidance in all forms has created a game which imposes crippling taxes on any player attempting to actually gain wealth or ‘comfort’ in-game.

Also, fwiw, Loki is the father of those monsters AND the mother of Sleipnir, Odin’s eight-legged horse, which happened when Loki shapeshifted into a mare to distract a stone mason’s stallion and prevent him from finishing the wall around Asgard in a single season (and in so doing, taking the goddess Freya as his wife…

Dead-on here.

I mean, MS still owns the lion’s share of the PC OS market anyway, so putting games there still means they get to sell on/in an environment they effectively control and directly profit from.

This almost feels like - Design Engineer: “The boss wants something ‘different’, fine, I’ll give that asshole ‘different’.”

And to his credit, Jobs was always pretty upfront about building a successful business by ‘borrowing’ ideas and repackaging them.

I mean, there’s the WiiU, but we don’t like to talk about that one...

Even the people pushing them can’t seem to decide if crypto is ‘money’ or if it is a securities asset, trying to treat it as both.

It would be legitimately fascinating if Hello Games were to package up all the code they have behind NMS and offer it up for licensing as a game engine for other people to play around with.

I would assume that this is the stuff of insurance adjuster’s dreams/nightmares. There are likely contract clauses in place between the cargo owners and haulers regarding delivery times/conditions. It is entirely possible that if there is a substantial delay many of these containers will become insurance write-offs by…

That may be true, but it is also an unarmed, relatively slow-moving, very large object with a small, largely unarmed crew (assuming one of those containers isn’t filled with munitions and anti-aircraft artillery anyway).

That may be, but I also don’t think they were ready to sign another multi-year monster deal for Brady when he was starting to look like he had hit a wall physically. Turned out to be a really bad bet to have made, at least for year one, though it remains to be seen where it all goes for everybody from here.

What I also appreciated about this game, in the way they played the siblings off one another, was that yes, they both have different opinions on HOW to accomplish their goals (which is played out nicely with the differing skill sets each twin utilizes during the game) and they fight between themselves about those…

The only time I would ever pre-order is for Special Edition versions of games I knew for sure I’d buy anyway IF said SE included some kind of art piece I knew would be next to impossible to find afterward for a reasonable price (mostly statues and things like cloth printed maps or something).
