I agree that they’re not progressive *now*, particularly when a white female protagonist is the only substantial nod to diversity in a game. But anyone who was gaming when Samus Aran first took off her suit (even if she did, charitably, have a bikini underneath) should remember how controversial that was.  Progress is…

They should have just set a floor on the Humble Tip. I can understand them needing funds for them to operate. And if the publishers were getting cranky about people not paying them anything, well, maybe set a floor there too, or find better partners. But it shouldn’t ever be a profit center for the Humble owners.

There were some definite shell game shenanigans getting this show started. It was at the peak of the Procedural Era of television, and I think they pitched it as one to get it started at CBS and then opened up the larger mythology as the show went on. By the back half of season one they’re digging in to where the…

He’s just so damn flat in every scene. The show’s amazing, but that’s despite him rather than in any way because of him

I would, except I have to keep a gluten free kitchen.  Even for products like rice that don’t have gluten in them, I can’t risk the cross contamination.  Allergens in general are going to be the primary problem with things like this.

The City of Philadelphia Police Department and the ghost of Frank Rizzo would be happy to agree with you, since it keeps them from contending for the slot.

Every time I have to open YouTubeMusic, I get angry. They miss so many basic UI and UX issues it’s ridiculous.

Language processing is several orders of magnitude short of where it needs to be to deal with the heavily contextual understanding needed to do this sort of filtering, especially real time, and that’s even if you can get everyone to agree on target standards for filtering.

As opposed to recent Wolfenstein games, which felt a little predictive for a while there.

I dream for a magic variant that you can’t get if you take the virus remotely seriously, and is otherwise 100% lethal.  

Because a program that’s constantly checking for new email in one tab, playing high quality video in another, running a game in a third, keeping Discord and Slack open in the background, regularly updating that news site tab you forgot, and keeping the PS5 inventory page on four different retailers open for you to…

I do like a good sharp cheddar for my grilled cheese, particularly grilled ham & cheese. It does require a lot lower temperature and longer cooking time, to give the lower moisture cheddar enough time to melt.

I think part of the problem is that when Buffy came out his positions were far enough ahead of the curve that they *were* progressive and noteworthy, but as the world caught up and eventually surpassed him, his failings bring not just judgement for what he did wrong, but the feeling of betrayal. Carpenter’s far from…

Hello, carpal tunnel syndrome!

The problem is that orbital mechanics means the most efficient way of getting to Mars—launching when the two planets are closer—leads to the launched payloads getting there when the distance is ~11 light minutes. Since we’re still moving away from Mars, if I remember the timelines correctly, conducting a landing at…

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.
