My charitable interpretation is that for once someone is taking to heart the first rule of holes: When you find yourself in one, stop digging. If nothing else, she’s not digging herself deeper, which she likely would do if she tried to say anything on this before figuring out why what she did was wrong.

It’s not just that they want them to die. They want them to die painfully. It’s been known for a long while that you can execute / euthanize people painless through nitrogen suffocation (in regular suffocation, the buildup of CO2 in the blood causes discomfort, but this doesn’t happen in nitrogen suffocation, so it…

It’s also practically a tautology that the rich are attractive. Societal standards of attractiveness have historically been focused on indicators of wealth. When food was scarce, being fat was considered attractive as only the rich could eat enough to get fat. Now the situation has reversed, and the cheapest food is…

The catch is, the Fair Use doctrine allows streamers legal ground to broadcast at least portions of it in the context of review, comment, criticism, or satire. Fair Use is murky, and generally the more you broadcast, the less leg you have to stand on, but it would certainly protect someone who decides to stream eg. a…

EULA’s aren’t magic. There are actually quite a lot of limits on what you can be held to in them, and they don’t override other consumer protections, or the Fair Use doctrine necessarily. It’s a huge legal grey area though, unfortunately, and pretty much every Fair Use case has to be fought in court rather than being…

They’re trying to copy Nintendo. Apparently the path to success in Japan is to make awesome games and treat your customers like thieving scum for wanting to share gameplay moments with each other.

Worst I’ve seen is a fake announcement for a Tales of Vesperia remake for PS4. Not particularly funny, and just makes people wish it were real.

That helps most children... emphasis on “most.” For some (including myself, according to my parents), it actually makes them hyperactive on a plane. So, it’s worth being prepared for a worst-case scenario that it actually makes things worse.

You can bet players would love that type of system.

Or we’d have all been playing it on the Wii U six months ago, when it was finished.

Yeah, if it just weren’t for that anti-Superman initiative of his, I could give him my full support. Still a lot better than Trump, though.

The fact that the dress code never specifically mentions gender does not mean it can’t be discriminatory. The problem is that certain articles which are more often worn by women than men are more tightly policed than articles more often worn by men. Imagine an extreme example, where the dress code expressly forbade…

They dipper their toe in with one bare butt in the original ME. And there was a huge media freakout with Fox News calling the game essentially a sex simulator. I wouldn’t be surprised if that scared them off for ME 2-3 and DA2.

It’s worth remembering Scalzi’s Law: The failure mode of “clever” is “asshole.” In my case, this just baffled me, but I can see how some people might take it the exact wrong way.

He got called out for joke stealing and then basically disappeared off the face of the earth. He did a couple of comedy things while on his career plummet, and apparently now he co-owns a restaurant chain.

So, just to add confusion with the game that was called Mystic Quest in NA?

Secret of Mana itself is number 2; number one was retitled Final Fantasy Adventure in when released in the west (and later remade as Sword of Mana). So it goes:

Well, not French. French cheese is actually, bizarrely, illegal in the US: http://www.medicaldaily.com/fda-bans-roquefort-other-french-cheeses-due-bacteria-levels-though-theyre-virtually-301638

From a capitalistic perspective, microtransactions are brilliant - the richer someone is, the more money you get from them. You no longer have to worry about balancing a price point between getting more people to pay and get more money per person who pays. Now you can get a ton of people and get more money from the…

I’ve heard reports that some of the docks have the front part slightly tilted backward (possibly due to damage in manufacture or shipping), which makes scratching much more likely.
