The answer is people want a representative who they can relate to.

If their hobby is video games, then why not? How is that any different than sharing a passion for hunting? Or following similar religious beliefs? Or the same sports team?

The point is that AOC is reaching out to a certain generation of voters who…

I worked for a rival to Zynga at the time of the early 2000's and the amount of effort put in to make a game with similar mechanics was nauseating. SO glad to see this game die. Now I just wish people would wake up and stop playing these types of games so game designers can focus on something more exciting.

The mouse. Hey, don’t judge! I grew up in the era of Apple ][E’s. It was all keyboards before this. You know, the Dark Times.

When my family splurged for a Mac Plus, the mouse was like the cybernetic input device I didn’t know I was missing: It could act as a trackball, a joystick, a paintbrush (for those early…

That’s a tough request.

There are some games that filled the role of humor but are decidedly much different games.

If you’re curious, I highly recommend Subnautica (an exploration game with building elements and an overarching story you need to solve in order to get off planet. Light humor but it’s there) and Void…

Just wanted to say that if you see yeast available for baking, save some for your fellow shoppers! Went to three different grocery stores yesterday (Oakland and Alameda, CA) and all the yeast and AP flour was sold out.

American here.  Yep, totally agree with that assessment, sadly. 

My first thought is that he deserved everything, but after seeing his despondent public apology and realization of his error, I would forgive him. If someone (or even one of his dogs) got hurt it would be an entirely different matter, of course; but it’s obvious the guy has learned from his mistake. If anything he now…

In addition to what kinjalooksawful said, some hot pot restaurants also have their own proprietary broth— so you’re paying for the broth made with different herbs and seasonings as well as not having to deal with the aftermath mess. Other hot pot places also feature a dipping bar menu in addition to that, to save you…

Try blanching it and eating with some oyster sauce drizzled over.  It’s yummy that way. 

I have a lot of games to be thankful for, but the two on my very present list are:
No Man’s Sky (especially considering their continued free updates!) and VGA Planets.Nu (a web version of the strategy game that originally came out in 1995. It’s a fantastic strategy game that has a cult following, all these decades…

While I agree that the cop’s methods were heavy handed and it would have been better just say “hey, eating’s not allowed on this platform— can you put it away”, if you refuse to give your name to a cop when he tries to issue you a citation, that gives him grounds to arrest you. He tried to write a ticket but according…

I live blocks away from the Merritt Station, and while admittedly I’ve only ridden BART twice in the past year, I do not recall there being a Subway Sandwich shop at either the Merritt, 12th Street nor 19th Street Stations in Downtown Oakland.  Are you absolutely certain of this? 

Tangent: I can still remember the cassette adapter for my sister’s 8-track in her Cadillac. That thing was a monster, because all it did was extend the magnetic tape through a series of loops to be fed into the car’s 8-track player. Occasionally the tape would come off the track somewhere between the adapter and the…

I’m all for this expansion if, when you “die” in the shadowrealms you appear as a ‘live’ first level character appearing in a vibrant green world who has to run back to their body to undeath them again.

Kidding aside, that break in the world animation was really cool. 

Please post your evidence. The one report I read that supported your view was written by a geologist/coal lobbyist, funded by a major petroleum producing corporation. It was refuted by at least four international studies by third party scientists. This was at least a year ago, so I’d love to see what they came up with…

Prior to beyond, Hot/Radioactive worlds were my favorite places to build bases. Radioactive worlds because any mineral you mined yielded uranium (which would be used for launch thrusters and remote mining devices) and hot worlds with strong wind often had Storm Crystals (a stack of five bring in around 700k cash).

Beyo…

Stole this from Imagur:

Man, this Blazing Saddles remake just isn’t looking good.

...Tragically accurate to the source material though.

For those of you who might want to still play the game, I believe the web version is still available here.

I think that’s a very wise thing to do. “Privilege” puts people on the defensive and, due to all the discussion on every side of the issue, it tends to come across as an accusation by the affronted party.

Case in point, I was accused of having gender privilege after having a debate with friends about labeling…
