The thing with “VR has been around since the 90s” is that, aside from the technology back then being FAR too primitive to do justice to the concept (bulky, low-refresh rate CRTs and laggy tracking do not make for good VR), what was available in the 90s was only available in arcades. Just as videogames were a niche…

It’s not ignorant. Couple months ago I was working on a re-play and stopped after the 4th divine beast. By that time I was decently kitted out and while I had “better” weapons, the durability was still a massive issue. This is also, by the way, long after “a dozen hours or so.” One of the kickers for me was fighting…

We’re usually higher than that but that’s because my friend likes to get the expensive plates with big portions like Fra Diavolo so she gets at least one more meal out of it. 

That might be it. My friend and I used to go to take each other to Red Lobster for our birthdays back when we couldn’t afford to eat at the nice places. Now that we can afford the good places the bill is usually about $140-50ish, and I tip like 30% because the service is always awesome.

Concurrently, I was writing something to this effect. Agreed.

I can toast some bread for breakfast, but I ain’t opening up a restaurant.

Kathleen, she gives off an attitude of almost naive innocence, which clashes so intensely with the ruthlessness of her actions.

Most everyone, I even think including the driver he eliminated, knew it was a beyond-badass move.

There is no rule that says a golden retriever can’t drive a Car in Nascar

“You’re too fast, too cool and good at video games! From now on: normal, boring racing from here on out!”

“Ross, it’s not your driving, it’s your attitude. The other drivers are dangerous, but right now you’re worse. Dangerous and foolish. You may not like who’s driving against you, but whose side are you on?”

YOU’RE A LOOSE CANNON...BUT GD IF YOU DON’T GET THE JOB DONE.

Honestly it’s just good policy. No one was totally sure if the move was legal by the rules. They investigated and ruled it was against the rules but since there was ambiguity the instigating incident was given a pass. Likely if this ended differently (like if a bit of the guard wall caught the car and sent it crashing…

Reminds me of a recurring prank at an old job. Whenever someone left their desk without locking their computer, someone would make a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper, and move all the desktop icons to another folder.

Seems applicable:

Yeah I remember their soup generally being good and worth the cost, used to get the half sandwich and soup back in college sometimes.

Ok so I’m gonna say I’d pay...$6 for that sandwich with a bag of chips.  Maybe a buck or so more for the ones that have meat and not just 3 mouthfulls of salad.

Doing practical on set particulates is very easy and the norm. I’ve done it (over 20 years ago now) and from what I’ve seen the process is still basically the same. There’s a bunch of different types of particulates made of natural and synthetic materials depending on how much you want it to float in the air. It’s…

Druckmann said later on that his goal was to show the fungus was willing to spread “peacefully” (without biting, etc.), and resorted to violence primarily because people resist. It’s also worth noting that the lurkers (which is what the “kissing infected” was) are capable of more cunning and thought than other…

I suppose we see what we want to see. I still feel like she was a badass and that what they have been doing is trying to up the level of fear felt for the infected over certain scenes in the show (both Joel and Tess seem MUCH more apprehensive about running into infected than in the game). The way she handled herself…
