That’s a really fascinating explanation and it makes perfect sense. Thank you!

If you didn’t get slaughtered by Defias spellcasters, it wasn’t a real trip down memory lane. HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU DIE, FAHEY?

I’ve played Brutal Doom and noticed that the monsters don’t actually have depth from certain angles. Especially if you are on top of something looking down at it, it has an odd, almost paper cut-out appearance. Is this related to how the engine renders or is it an artifact of whatever process was used to create Brutal…

We now build extensive thermal protection into CPUs. And while there *were* viruses that could harm hardware, most either targeted drives (HDD or floppy) or firmware injection which can inject a virus into your motherboard.

I don’t think anyone knows publicly what viewing numbers on any of these shows are. It’s not as if Netflix releases them. I think the assumption is that there were dramatic fall-offs for these seasons that resulted in them being canceled, but at least in Luke Cage’s case, the showrunner has said they were deep…

TAKE YOUR STAR YOU BEAST. 

I couldn’t agree more.

I agree 100% with this. Routh’s turn as Superman was only bad because the studio insisted on it. Watching him as Atom, it’s clear he’s got exactly the goofy boy-scout charm needed for the part. 

My degree is in political science with a focus in American Political Thought. I have read a great deal of material on the thinking of the individuals that lived in the 1700s from many different walks of life.

He’s entirely right. Read the Federalist papers. The Framers were incredibly concerned about what they called the “Tyranny of the majority” and designed the initial government in an attempt to avoid precisely that scenario in which minority rights would be destroyed by demagogic appeal to the majority.

“Except you would be wrong, you intentionally ignored the reason why fans are upset”

Why should I care why people are upset when their reasons for being upset run counter to facts, the way the game functions, statements from the developers about the way the game has always functioned and why the game is designed the…

“Tank controls aren’t that fucking hard to get used to”

As someone who came up playing adventure games on the PC, I’m sympathetic to calls to recognize greatness in previous titles, often despite their jankiness. I have a lot of fond memories of a *lot* of games that don’t play like much compared to the modern era.

A variation on this is used to treat antifreeze poisoning. Enzymes in the human body prefer to digest ethanol but will bond with ethylene if that’s what they can get. It’s the byproducts of ethylene breakdown that poison you. Ethanol competes for alcohol dehydrogenase about 100x more effectively than ethylene does,…

The SE died. :(

To be a centrist is not to simply declare that whatever arbitrary midpoint might exist between D’s and R’s is the best midpoint at any given moment in time. To me, at least, it’s more a philosophy that says you draw from both liberal and conservative traditions in American thought to balance an approach to any given…

“but the second you exclude anyone from attending you are in the wrong.”

I think Andrew Garfield was a better Spider-Man and Toby Maguire the better Peter Parker. Also, I’d put Amazing Spider-Man above Spider Man 3, but SM3 above ASM2. Just my .02, of course.

“It’s hilarious to listen to you guys continuing to use racism fears against Republicans, when it’s always been Republicans doing what’s right for the Black community. Ending slavery. Ending Jim Crow. Ending Segregation.”

Yeah, see, I think I’ll be blaming the Republicans for ginning up white hate. Sorry. Lee Atwater gave the playbook away 30 years ago. Since you evidently aren’t familiar with him, allow me to introduce you to a man who spent his entire life building election for the GOP and his most famous quote.
