You bought all the spin. 

Looks like I need to repeat myself.

“I guess reading comprehension is not your strength.”

That’s okay, you’ll probably get there after graduating from grade school.

Internet Explorer and its successor laughs in your face!

THIS WEEK, Edge started opening external links within emails from Outlook (and Edge sure as Hell ain’t my default browser). We have 365 accounts at work, sue me! I had to manually go into the obfuscated settings to turn that off; to tell MS to let me use my…

He didn’t live through the late 90s and early 2000's with Microsoft trying to get rid of every competitor they had and being the only game in town. He should ask WordPerfect and Novell how friendly Microsoft is.

“microsoft is one of the most consumer/union friendly companies”

How is the quality of the story being told in this TV show negatively impacted by the revelation of this confrontation prior to your consuming of said TV show? Does it *materially* change the story? If it does, then I submit that the story is, in fact, WEAK. The effectiveness of a plot point should not rest on whether…

Right, people like to believe that they are reasonable, and don’t want to hear that they aren’t being reasonable. I’ve 100% on here been like “now I don’t know shit about this, but I think....” But in those cases I at least try to be willing to hear contrary information and adjust my conclusions accordingly. No one…

I know what the above post is about. But *your* comment was about “the stories [you’ve] seen blogged about,” including a specific reference to where you read that Fallon seemed to set the mood for the day. So *your* comment was about the Fallon workplace story as a whole, not just the cue cards.

It should come with a swappable red ring of death. I think I went through 3 of the original model before getting one that didn’t die after a year. 

Bethesda has one (1, uno, une, singular) story. You are a Chosen One who is the only person capable of Saving The World by working with The Obviously-Good Good Guys to defeat the Obviously Evil Evil Guys.

Gaming culture’s fascinating. It’s like the perfect consumer culture, because the guys within it don’t believe they’re consumers, and few can make their own cultural capital so they have to buy things that - they think - will make it cool. They need to pre-order every Ultra-Special Limited Edition With Collectible…

It’s not about demanding that things be to our tastes, it’s about imagining a world in which creators were incentivized to create art that was meaningfully distinctive from stuff they’d already created.

So you instead advocate for them to pay 70 dollars to arrive at the same conclusion of what their gut told them in the first place because you have nothing more than that tired half-defense?

You don’t have to drive a nail through your dick to know it’ll suck.

I’m super glad I cancelled my Amazon pre-order last week after initial impressions were coming from early access players.

“So we end up where we are with Starfield, a game that visually looks like something from this era, but still plays and operates like a game from 2005"

Hey cool! The thing I absolutely hated in every other Bethesda game and played a significant part in why I dropped all of their games after 10 hours is even worse in this new one!

I wish we lived in a world where Bethesda made technically perfect games. Then we could spend all our energy talking about things like how, in 2023, they just released the most seamful game ever made.

I went with The Exorswift myself.

I’m shocked. Shocked I say.

The thing is Miyamoto has a weird logic to his madness. My favorite was Donkey Kong Returns on the Wii. Miyamoto tried out an early alpha and noticed a little dust cloud when you jumped so he started jumping up and down to make more dust clouds. after a little bit he apparently said “you should use that effect for a…
