I understand the frustrations of these players but if your main source of income comes from streaming a single game (or if you are a content creator of any sort really) and it’s not on your own platform that you built, you have to expect these kinds of developments. You are at the mercy of the platforms in which you

Good lord, when I first heard about the in-game ads I thought “meh, I’m sure they at least put thought into making them aesthetically appealing.” Nope, I was wrong, they’re just whoring out their franchise’s beloved characters in haphazard and thoughtless ways. Who the fuck is gonna be sold by any of this, advertising

If there was no article on it, I would have thought so. The Pro Tour icon looks so out of place on all these characters. It’s not aliased the same, is more detailed, and doesn’t conform to any of the costumes and places it has been pasted on.

All these are.. bad photoshop mockups, right?

This is the chance the Spin Doctors have been waiting for!

I think overall athlete improvement happens even faster than we realize.

I mean, it is the best thing he is known for. As soon as I hear “Brandon Sanderson,” I think “Well designed, intricate magic systems.” And then I think “Dammit, Mistborn should totally be a TV show, it could be the next Game of Thrones.”

It’s a ton more enjoyable unlocking characters in this game, never got into the Wii U game due to that problem.

Counterpoint - I like the feeling of progression and a goal to work towards granted by having to unlock characters.  I admit that it sucks if you just want to grab a group of friends and start playing with everything - maybe they should only lock single player while multiplayer has everyone available from the get go?

It’s not out of beta, but they recently did a huge overhaul to progression and the menu system; it’s less overwhelming now, but it’s still rather grindy. I enjoy it, myself.

I only ever used Tumblr for adult content so I guess I’m never going back.

Wow! Those are fantastic. Any recommendations for ones that don’t cost the same as my combined monthly utility bills?

That would be great if I didn’t have a turntable setup and four other non-dongelated devices that my sons and wife like to listen to music on too.

In twenty years wired headphones will still be superior to wireless.

I don’t think that’s a given. The radio spectrum will get increasingly crowded. Corded headphones are fine and the jack is not big enough in comparison to our phones to really cause a problem.

Standing as in dunking from a standing position.

I bet you’ve said it more than once. You seem like the sort who repeats their opinions loudly and often.

If an author comes out and says “Hey buy my book, it’s the first one on an epic series”, he promises to the reader that he will finish the series at a reasonable pace and won’t drop it.

I don’t absolutely detest Justice League, as many do, but to put it anywhere near on par with the first Avengers film is pretty ludicrous.

You’re joking, right?
