I’m playing Andromeda (bought it for $6 new from the remainder bin, so no complaints) and there’s some NPC who talks lovingly about the game’s Mako equivalent. I was very disappointed that “It handles like a drunk water buffalo and you know it” wasn’t in the list of answers.

Did you miss the last eight years where the administration’s plan was tossing these people out, and the six years before that where Obama couldn’t get even get any of his underambitious plans done because the Senate was run by a guy who got the vapors if you tried to do something nice for brown people?

Andromeda did a lot better on this front. I can only think of four characters that can only be romanced by one gender, and two of those are homosexual.

The Cup for Cup Bob’s stuff works for pastries and cookies, but not for most breads, I’ve found. There red-bagged Bob’s Gluten Free flour typically works, but it requires Xanthan Gum or similar materials to be added.

The browser stores may not be able to tell.  If the code repo controller changes but the account used to publish the extension to the store is the same, there’s no obvious difference to the store.

This space intentionally left blank.

“A new secret cheat code has been found in Neir: Automata that lets players skip the entire game after only beating the first boss.”

They did. It’s the main game. Hell, the most recent revision means fast tracks you to top level so comprehensively I wonder why they bother with it at all. Just create characters at max level and let them go through old content when they want.

Depends on the paywall, but if it’s one of those “view 5/3/1 article(s) before we start blocking content”, then yes, generally, unless they’re using fingerprinting techniques the browsers haven’t blocked yet.

Greenlight still working out well for you?  It does seem to have the best feature set, but since I’ve only got one kid, the $5/month feels a bit steep.

(Late comment since I’m trying to pick out one of these for my kid...)

If a former partner is accessing your accounts, I’d actually recommend creating a brand new email address (and maybe phone number, using Google Voice or something) to replace your current ones until you have two-factor enabled.  It’s possible that the harasser has access to those accounts as well if they had time…

I mean, they’ll probably have one ready, but if they’re smart, a “Peppy” Coke flavor will be announced shortly.

The only thing that would have made it better would be Ashley and Laura tying for Best Performance, to really work up the haters.  I was really afraid that both of them being nominated would split the votes of those who liked the game.

I saw an article recently (I thought it was at 538 but I can’t find it) that said that the American Chestnut tree nuts were good and tasty (and even a staple food for much of the country) but it got killed off by a fungus in the first half of the 20th century. They’re only now breeding/grafting/engineering resistant…

Lashana Lynch played *Maria* Rambeau in the first film.  Monica is her daughter, played by Akira Akbar in that movie.

The io9 article that mentions the same interview explicitly says the charges were withdrawn without a settlement.

Is it just me, or does she look like she could conceivably play a middle-aged Princess Leia in that video still?  Lot of Carrie Fischer in that shot.

If I understand correctly, the judged ruled that he couldn’t claim that his rights under Title VII were violated, because Title VII is written to protect people *who are pregnant* and not parents in general. Since he didn’t actually carry the child, Title VII doesn’t apply.

I’m sure it would be fun to play if launching it didn’t crash my computer so hard it literally shut down.
